There Is man in California named
Luther Burbank, who has accom-

curing strange results in new fruits
and flowers. He has learned things
from his contact with nature, and his
studies in the lower orders of the or
ganic world have led him to the con-
clusion that changes can be brought
about in the higher orders, even in
man himself.
Mr.. Burbank considers the physical

that can be achieved in the kingdom of

HEPBURN RATE BILL.
Committee Reports 1t Favorab!y to

Washington.-By vote of eight TO
five the Senate committee on inter
state commerce agreed to report the
Hepburn rate bill without amendment.
but the resolution reserved to the
members of the committee freedom of
action concerning amendments offered
in the Senate. By Il vote of five to
three, Republicans prevailing, Senator
Tillman, Democrat, was given the
honor of reporting the bill.
This establishes a precedent in that
a Republican Senate committee has
given a Democrat control of an i'm

we're recorded only on the main propo

HAsEAs CORPUS GRANTED.
In Case of Meyer, Haywood and Pet
tibone.

Boise, Idaho.-The anticipated appli-
cation for a writ of habeas corpus in
the cases of Moyer Haywood and Pet
tibone was made Friday in the SUI
preme court by e. F. Richardson and
his associates. After hearing brief ar
guments the court ordered me wri; TO
issue returnable March 1st.
The application is based upon the
extradition statute of the United
States under which offenders are
state to another This statute is
drawn to cover cases in which man,
committing an offense in one state,
fees to the jurisdiction of another.
Mr.. Richardson claims that there is no
authority for extradting men of a
charge of having conspired in one
state for the commission of an Of
fense in another. If these men con
spired in Denver, he asserts, they can
be made to answer for it in no other
state. They might be arrested and
tried in Colorado, he says, but cannot
be legally extradited to Idaho to stand
trial on the charge.
Richardson says he will carry the
matter TO the Supreme Court of the
United States ii he loses here. He eX
presses the belief that the Supreme
Court of the United States will event
ually order their release and the
thought is suggested that this is the
pivot of the case of the defense, and
as admitted by attorneys, is nice
one: but it is held by the prosecution
that under the law of this state which
makes the accessory Il principal the
eXtradition will stand.

carping critic may say this is simply
an advertisement for Postum and
Grape-Nuts. 1t is true that these ar
ticles are spoken OF here in a public
manner, but they are used as illustra-
tions of manufacturer seeking by
example, printing on each pkg. truth
full, exact statement of ingredients, to
shame other makers into doing the
fair thing by the common people, and
establishing an era of pure food, but
that procedure has not yet forced those
who adulterate and deceive to change
their methods, hence this effort to
arouse public sentiment and show
way out of the present condition OF
fraud, deceit and harm.
The undersigned is paying to the
publishers of America about $40 100000

cally all of the great papers and maga-
zines, in the conduct of what he
