Negro Turning White.

A correspondent of the San Fran.
cisco Call says: The latest freak of
nature and marvel of the medical sci
entists is the change of color which is
gradually creeping over the body of a
negro porter, Charles Hugo Bell, in
Colusa. Mutation began several years
ago. The spots of white have spread
to the face and hands. Although the
victim of this strange disease suffers
no i'll effects at present, he has been
advised that as soon as the complete
change takes place death will ensue.
At present he is employed at hard Ia
Dor and enjoys life, but is the subject
of much curiosity.
Bell was born in Columbia. Georgia,
in 1866. His parents were full-blooded
negroes, coming direct from Africa as
slaves to the United States.

Hanna and the Poor House.

An Ohio manufacturer tells this
story of Mark Hanna. The Senator

Chinese Commission.

Pekin, July 19-An edict was issued
yesterday ordering the dispatch
abroad of four missions to study for
eign political methods. The missions
will be headed. respectively, by Prince
Tsaitche, who is of royal blood; Tai
Tung Chic. second minister of finance;
Shu SHE Chang. chief assistant to
Yuan Shai Kai. viceroy of Chilli prov
ince, and Touan Fang, governor of the
HuaDan province.
The edict, which is vaguely worded,
orders the envoys to visit all countries
in the East and West and study for
eign methods generally. None Of the
men named speak any foreign lam
glage. The four missions will depart
separately on dates yet undecided.
The idea is generally regarded as a
step in the right direction. though it
may prove futile.

UphoIds coIorado's claim.

Denver, July 20.-Attorneys for
Colorado in the litigation over the
waters in the Arkansas river. now in
progress between this state and Kan
sas, claim that the whole question has
been virtually settled by decision
handed down by the United States
Supreme Court.
This Is a case carried on appeal from
Utah and involves points similar to
those raised in the Kansas Colorado
water suit. The decision was rem.
dered by Justice Peckham, and chat
portion of 1t which sustains Colorado's
contention reads:
"The rights of riparian owner in
and to the use of the water flowing
by his land are not the same in the
arid and mountainous states of the
West that they are in the states Of
the East. These rights have been
altered by many of the western states
by their constitutions and Jaws, be-
cause OF the totally different circum.
stances in which their inhabitants are
placed from those that exist in the
states of the East, and such altera-
tions have been made for the very
purpose of thereby contributing to the
growth and prosperity of these states.

tion of the otherwise valueless soil

Gypsies on the Sea.

In the archipelago of Mergui, off the
coast of Lower Burma, Asia, lives the
"sea gypsies." Instead of carts they
own covered boats, in which, with their
families, dogs, cats, chickens and pets,
they float about on the sea and wander
from island to island. By day they
fish or harpoon turtle or dive for oys-
ters. But every night they put back
to the shore. II the weather is bad at
sea, they land with their dogs and then
poach, catching porcupines, squirrels,
armadillos, hog, deer, and the like, of
which they make savory stews, as
American gypsies do.

Look Pleasant

What would be the effect upon civil
ization If everybody would keep con-
stantly in mind that suggestion of the
photographer, Look pleasant" The

of the cold, stiff, set expression of his
face and to replace 1t by genial.

ing to reproduce the sitter until he sue

CHARITY CONFERENCE
WORK OF PORTLAND MEETING
Care of Children and Detectives Dis
cussed-Care of the Conya-
Iescent Insane.

Portland, Ore, July 19.-At the gen.
eral session yesterday Of the Confer
ence on Charities and Corrections.
detectives" and Children were the
principal topics discussed. AS on
yesterday, each paper or report was
discussed from every standpoint, the
delegates taking so active an interest
as to make the discussions general in
character, rather than confined 10 the
few set speeches Of the day.
The topic detectives" was intro
duced by Dr. II. A Tomlinson of St.
Peter. Minnesota, chairman OF the
committee on detectives. He discussed
at length the importance Of investigat-
ing the physical condition of defec-
tives as a basis for their rational care
and treatment DR.. Tomlinson said, in
part:
Provision should be made for the
thorough investigation of physical con-
ditions associated with mental defects
and the pedagogic aspect of the work
should be supplementary rather than
dominant, as it is now.
That these same methods should
apply to the work in our hospitals for
the insane ought to be obvious.
Much has been said in the direction
roundings for the chronic, quiet and
well behaved patient; but practically
nothing Is said about, or thought of the
proper provision for the disturbed pa
tient. either acute or chronic. The diff
culties that have arisen and still per-
sist, are due to the retention of the
asylum regime and the effort to make
it applicable to the performance OF
hospital work"
DIR. Dewey spoke on the assistance.
of destitute, convalescent and recov-.
cred patients discharged from hospitals
for insane, saying, in part:
THE objects which suitable assist
ance and after care would secure
would be first the permanent restora-
ton of many cases that relapse, and
self-support instead of public support
for years or lifetime.
'Second-The return to useful ac-
tivity of many who remain perma-
nently in the asylum who could care
for themselves if they could get

DIR. Walter Lindley, of Los Angeles.
California, president of the Whittier
State School of California, followed
with a paper on 1.-THE Evils of Insti-
tutional Childhood" He said:
''The best the state can do to help
the children is to foster the home and
the home spirit. There should be or
ganized assistance provided for indi-
gent widows left with children. by cash
allowance, if necessary, so that they
could keep their children at home
while small and helpless"
DR.. Lindley showed how California
and New York were far behind many
other states in their effort to place

LOCO Weed Concession.

Denver, July 20.-Cattlemen who
have leases on the state land in the
range districts lying to the east of
Denver have been calling on the State
Land Board for months for decrease
in their rentals on account of the de-
creased grazing value of the lands
through the spread of loco weed upon
it. Yesterday the Land Board gave
a hearing to the leasers. and after a
careful consideration of the question,
agreed to make a new lease for the
| lands between the state and the cat
tlemen.
There will be new contract made
for ten years. This will provide that
the cowmen shall make an effort to
kill off the loco weed and to partially
reimburse them for this expense, the
state is to reduce the rental on the
lands for the first five years of the
lease from its present price of cents
to 2h cents an acre. after the first
five years the price shall be restored
to cents an acre.
The leasers on these terms are Rob.
ert Ling. 1900 acres; Weaver &
Bond. 10000; Harrison, Douglas &
Douglas. $4,000, and William Holmes
of Bu.tes. 10000. The board was en-
phatic in its declaration that no other
changes would be made and no more
land leased at less than the minimum
of cents an acre. The loco problem
is becoming a serious one and this
lease was made to the men named as
an experiment to see whether they
can, as they claim, kill out the pest.
The lands lie in Ell Paso, Kit Carson,
Lincoln and Cheyenne counties.

Reads Like a Miracle.

bordering on the miraculous is the
case of Mrs. Benz. Wilson, of this
place. Suffering from Sugar Diabetes,
she wasted away till from weighing
200 lbs. she barely tipped the scales at

Sugar Diabetes. She was sick four
years and doctored with two doctors,
but received no benefit She had SO
much pain all over her that she could
not rest day or night The doctors
said that she could not live.
Then an advertisement led me to

FROM SAME BOX
Where the Foods Come From.

Look here, waiter, honest now,
don't you dip every one of these faxed
breakfast foods out of the same box?"
"Well, yes, boss, we duz, all 'cept
Grape-Nuts, cause that don't look like
the others and people know 'zackly
what Grape-Nuts looks like. But
there's bout dozen different ones
named on the bill of fare and they are
all thin rolled flakes SO 1t don't make
any difference which one man calls
for, we just take out the order from
one box"
This talk led to an investigation.
Dozens of factories sprung UP about
three years ago, making various kinds
OF breakfast foods, seeking to take the
business of the original prepared
breakfast food-Grape-tluts. These
concerns after a precarious existence,
nearly all failed, leaving thousands of
boxes of their foods in mills and ware
houses. These were in several In
stances bought up for song by spec
ulators and sold out to grocers and
hotels for little or nothing. The proc
ess OF working off this old stock has
been slow. One will see the names
on menus of faxed foods that went
out of business year and q half or
two years ago. In few cases where
the abandoned factories have been
bought up. there is an effort to resus-
citate the defunct, and by copying the
style of advertising of Grape-Nuts,
seek to influence people to purchase.
But the public has been educated to
the fact that all these thin faxed
foods are simply soaked wheat or oats
rolled thin and dried out and packed.
They are not prepared like Grape
Mats. In which the. thorough baking
and other operations which turn the
starch part of the wheat and barley
into sugar. occupy many hours and re-
suit in food so digeStible that small
infants thrive on It. while 1t also con-
tains the selected elements of Phos-
phate of Potash and Albumen that
unite in the body to produce the soft
gray substance In brain and nerve
centers. There's a reason for Grape
Nuts, and there have been many imi-
tations, a few of the article itself, but
many more of the kind and character
OF the advertising. Imitators are al
ways counterfeiters and their printed
and written statements cannot be ex-
pected to be different than their
goods.

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold

will save not only time, because 1t
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 12-oz. package 1t is because he has
q stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
