REPORT OF ATTY. GENERAL.


Attorney General Breeder has filed
his report for the past two years with
GOV. Cutler. The report contains some
suggestions IN regard to coming legs-
lation and also figures showing the
number OF state eases handled by the
attorney general and all the district
attorneys of the state during the PERI
cd covered by the report.
He suggests hat the legislature pass
laws giving he and the secretary of
state more power In regard 10 the adj
mission OF foreign corporations into
this state and calls attention 10 the
face that at present the secretary OF
state has no right TO deny admission
Of any foreign corporation. There is
no record of the class or character
of such corporations and no means
OF knowing whether the corporations
are acting within their powers or have
exceeded them.
II is suggested IN the report that
the secretary Of state should be given
the power TO refuse admission to cor
poratlons under certain conditions
more stringent than at present ana
that the attorney general be given the
authority to proceed against unlawful
corporations or corporations acting
in excess OF their corporate rights.
The report also calls attention TO
the fact that the constitution was
amended on Nov 6. 1900, so as TO give
the people of the state the right OF the
initiative and referendum and 1t sug-
gests that the legislature make some
provision for putting that matter to
some practical use.
II ~ urged that the polygamy stat
ute Of the state be changed to big
amy statute as the present statute IL
a reflection upon the state
a total number Of 666 criminal cases
were handled during the two years
md OF that number there were 35s
convictions, $40 acquitals and dis

'POISON SQUAD" RESULTS.
SoEicylic Acid Not So Harmful as
Generally Supposed.

Washington. Oct. 27.-E1perments conducted by
DR.. H. w Wiley chief of the bureau of chemistry
of the Department OF Agriculture, on twelve young
men, famarly termed the poison squad have
been made the subject Of circular issued to-day.
The young men voluntarily assumed obligations
imposed by the bureau their manner of liv-
ing and undertook to eat only the food which was
given them at the hygienc table The circular
deals particularly with the effect upon the human
system if salcylic acid and salicyates used food
preservatives.
DR.. Wiley finds from the data obtained that sail
cylio acid and salicylates apparently exert an ex
citing influence upon the activities which take
place in the alnnentary canal, stimulating the
organs to greater effort, and that this stimulation
leads at first to increased digestion and absorption
OF the foods which are introduced Into the stomach
but he that the general effect upon the sys-
tenn is depressing. in that the tissues are broken
thus the normal retabolc processes are interrered
with in harmful way. The use of sallcylic acid
he further finds, causes general decrease in
weight
The final opinion reached by DR. Wiley IS that
the unenviable position which salicylic acid has
heretofore held among preservatives, in being re-
garded as the most injurious OF ALL is perhaps 10
certain extent undeserved Like other ordinary
preservatives, it is not which be classed
used a medicine in many of arrangement
of health is like the chemical preservatives often
highly beneficial when properly prescribed by
competent physician. There appears TO be no
necessity for its food be preserved in
unobtectionable ways without its aid
