Are Sacrificed
State Official Declares Adulterated
Foods an Appalling Menace.

At n recent meeting of the executive
committee of the National Association
of State Dairy and Food Departments.
the secretary of state board made
the assertion. and produced figures to
prove it. that the death of nearly half
q million little children in America
last year was due to poiSons admins
tered in impure foods.
Welcome. indeed. is n food that is
known to be pure and wholesome. rich
IN nutrition and good to eat,-so good
that no other food can take its place.
We refer to MaIta-Vita, that delicious
crisp. whole-wheat food. Among all
the cereal FOODS we believe Malta-Vita
is the only food that is simply and
wholly pure grain product and nothing
else. except little salt. 1t is free
from any foreign sweetening agent or
other adulterant, and is made in alb
Solute cleanliness.
A perfect breakfast is impossible
without Malta-Vita, and it's just as
good three times n day. Containing
every food element of the best white
wheat and pure barley malt extract, it
is intensely vitalizing and easily di-
gested. Let your children have all the
Malta-Vita they want and you neeG not
fear for their health. Try some your
self with cream or fruit. You never
tasted anything quite so good. All

Much to BE Corrected.

While in America and Europe there
is much to be corrected and abundant
room for Improvement there has never

binds each to every other member of
the race. | have felt more pride in my

If to strike them. No king would be
willing to confess himself so cruel to-

viduals and nations have differed less
about the purpose 10 be accomplished
Than about the methods to be employ
ed Prosecutions have been carried on
avowedly for the benefit of the perse-
cuted. wars have been waged for the
alleged Improvement of those attacked
and still more frequently philanthropy
has been adulterated with selfish in
terest. If the superior nations have a
mission ii is not to wound but to heal
not to cast down but to lift up. and
the means must be example, far
more powerful and enduring means
than violence. Example may be liken-
ed &c the sun whose genial rays con-
st&ntly coax the buried seed into life
and clothe the earth. first with verdure
and afterward with ripened grain,
while violence is the occasional tenn
pest which can ruin but cannot give
life.
Can we doubt the efficacy of exam
pie in the light of history? There has
been great increase in education dur
ing the last century and the school
houses have not been opened by the
bayonet. they owe their existence
largely to the moral influence which
nations exert upon each
other. And the spread of popular gov
eminent during the same period, how
rapid! Constitution after constitution
has been adopted and limitation after
limitation has been placed upon arbi-
trary power until Russia, yielding to
public opinion, establishes Il legislative
body and China sends commissions
abroad with Il view to inviting the peo-
pie to share the responsibilities of gov

Breeding the Horns on.

Professor Splllman of the department
Of agriculture In his recent address
said It Is only a matter of time under
the application Of Mendelps law Of
heredity on animal breeding when the
horns may be bred of cattle, and he
said: 1.-THE operation Of the law is alb
solute and certain, and in getting rid
Of the horns OF any breed Of cattle 1t is
only necessary to apply the principles
Of the law and the horns disappear,
never to return. unless the breeder de-
sires to grow them again. One Of the
nrst items in the application of this
law Is to find what characteristics are
possible to be transmitted. In cattle

Improvement In Breeafng.

The first thing for the breeder to
recognise is that all Of the animals
which we know today have been de-
veloped by q process Of evolution from
previous animals Of an inferior quality.
The next thing II q recognition Of the
forces which have kept that process In
operation until they have brought
about the results which we now see.
And the third step ID to keep those
forces acting continuously In a desired
direction 20 that each step may be a
forward step. with such knowledge

A GOOD TYPE OF DRAFT HORSE.
[This is the type of horse hat is wanted
for moving freight i'm all cities. There Is
money value in every colt of this class.l
ton of a Percheron is usually fast at
A trot and fairly straight and sprightly
at the walk. The best individuals have
superior all around action. The objec-
tionable individuals roll in action Of
fore legs or slough at the walking gait.
Stations having oblique pasterns ana
action free from the faults noted
should be selected by breeders.
The draft horses of France more
than those of any other country have
had a beneficial, ameliorating effect
upon our native horse stock. The Per-
cheron breeds true to breed type, al
though individual prepotence is some
what lacking. He has become popular
because Of his docile disposition, easy
keeping qualities, clean, hairless legs,
activity and general adaptability to
many purposes upon the farm and in
the city. P~ercherons of the heaviest
weight and largest frame beget from
suitable mares horses adapted for
heavy draft purposes. In general use
they have also stocked the country with
horses of somewhat lighter build, in
Guiding excellent expressers, farm
chunks and general purpose animals.
Where the blood of this breed FREEDOM
mates In a district no other breed
should be used. Continued breeding in
a right line is highly advisable and will
result in the production Of practically
pure bred horses Of great usefulness
and value, says a writer In Farm, Field
and Fireside.

BITTER STRUGGLE ENDED.
Santa Fe and salt Lake AUree on
Division of Fruit Trade.

AS result of the conference Just
closed in Chicago between Edward
Chambers, assistant freight traffic man
ager of the Santa F'e with headquarters
at San Francisco and E. W. Gillet. gen
eral freight and passenger agent of the
Salt Lake. the differences between these
two roads have been amicably settled.
and free interchange of freight traffic
Will be enjoyed between them
This places the Salt Lake on a com
mon basis with the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe so far as a right to a
full and free Interchange of freight and
cars goes. Both with the Southern Pa
cihc and the Santa Fe. the Salt Lake
has been able to offer in return for
sidetrack facilities in rich fruit territory
from which it has been shut out, praetf-
cally nothing more than the advantage
of a short haul and quick delivery
This in the estimation of the other
roads, does not seem to have been suf-
f1cient to offset the valuation they have
placed upon the privilege to enter rich
shipping territory, which the two lines
absolutely control between them before
the advent of the Salt Lake. Color to
this is given in the report that the Salt
Lake has been compelled to give a good
deal to boot" in the trade Of advan-
tages, in the way of accepting a con
siderably smaller percentage of the Joint
rate than it would like to have pulled
down for its share of the common haul
Although not as yet concluded as to
the QGIdtlS, ln6 WnOle proposition in the
main was thrashed out by Messrs. Cham
bers and Gillett in Chicago. The formal
contracts with possibly minor amend
ments. will be signed up in San Fran
cisco on the return of Mr.. Gillett from
the east.
IN brief. the arrangement as rough
" outlined in the numerous consuIta-
tons between the respective heads of
the freight departments of the two
roads. provides for a full and free inter-
- f-rT,A
gett as the transfer point for through
east and west shipments, and Los An
geles and Cotton as the transfer points
for the southern California business
Under the new arrangement ship
ments of fruit especially originating on
Santa Fe tracks, at Santa Ana, for in
stance. may be routed by way of the
Salt Lake to eastern points, the Santa
Fe handling the consignment to Dag
gett and turning it over to the Salt
Lake at that point.
