Development of the Tom.t,

The tomato, wholesome, toothsome,
capable for such variety of edible use
as 1t is, was not found out by man
until comparatively recent times. It
Is native of western South America,
whence 1t was introduced and culti-
waited In Europe during the sixteenth
century. AT first its wrinkled fruits
were regarded with suspicion and it
was grown to be looked at as a GU
riosity more than anything else. Gull
tivation smoothed out the wrinkles
and developed the tomato so that in
the eighteenth century both yellow
and red varieties were known. There
are old people, now living today. who
relate that in their childhood the to.
mato was known as the '1ove apple"
and was poisonous If eaten too much

TELEPOST SYSTEM OF
TELEGRAPHY HAS
RIVALS ON JUMP
Low RATES AND RAPID SERVICE

NIGHT LETTER coNcEs-
SION TO PUBLIC.

The activity of the Telepost auto
matte telegraph system, which is en-
gagged in interlacing the country with
rapid service wires, is causing the Off
cials of the Western Union and Postal
no end Of anxiety. In the eighteen
months the Telepost has been in COM
mercial operation it has cut seriously
into the business of these companies
in the states in which it Is operating.
One of the first fruits Of Telepost
ompetition-hailed everywhere as q
signal victory for the automatic sys-
tem-was the recent concession by the
older companies of might letter" in
part imitation of the Telepost's tele-
graphed letter feature, introduced to
this country by the Telepost when 1t
first began business eighteen months
ago.
The Telepost, however, maintains a
and applies it to all distances from
the longest to the shortest on the
same principle as the U. s. mails.
The Telepost. makes a speciality Of
two forms of letter kilograms, unique
In American telegraphy, known as the
"telepost" and the "telecard." The
first is so word letter sent over the
wire for 25 cents with the same expe-
dition as an ordinary telegram and de.
livered by mail, instead of by mes.
senger. The second is ten word
message, exclusive of the name and
address, sent over the wire in the reg
ular way for ten cents. transcribed on
g postal card and delivered by mail.
The Telepost as a system represents
the most brilliant achievement to date
in the evolution of telegraphy, and
transmits from 1000 to 5000 words q

Its ability to handle with one wire
the volume of business that requires
65 wires for transmission by the hand
method of telegraphy employed by the
old companies gives it big advan

The Telepost system has been com

Peculiar Military Trainjno

In his report on the cavalry opera.
tions of last year on Salisbury Plain.
issued by the British war office, Lieut.
Gen. Sir Douglas Haig attributes
great Importance to young officers
being encouraged to hunt and play
polo, and would urge that they should
be helped to do so in every way pos.
slble.' These pursuits" the general
adds, have very real value as train
Ing for war, and it is particularly de-
sirable that officers with private
means should be encouraged to spend
their money this way rather than in
buying expensive motor cars and sim
liar luxuries, which have an opposite
tendency"

WOULD AID
 GOVERNMENT
IN DISCOVERING THE COST OF LIVING BY GIVING UP HIS
 CREAMERY.
Is Willing for the Government to Take His Plant and Run It for the
 Next Ninety Days.

Spokane, Wash, Feb 19.-David Brown, president of the Hazlewood company of Spokane, operating dairy plants at Portland, Ore, Walla Wala. North Yakima and Spokane, Wash, and Caldwell, Idaho, doing yearly business of more than $2,0OO,OO0. of fers his plant for any period from 90 days to year to assist the federal government in solving the problem of the cost of living.
 Mr. Browns proposal submitted to Governor Martin E. Hay and referred / by tha, official to James Wilson, sec retary of agriculture, follows:
 That the United States senate or secretary of agriculture or both select a representative and put him in charge of the Hazlewood plants. he to dictate the prices of our company for 90 days, or, if thought better for one year.
 We believe that our plant would be one of the best in this part of the country to demonstrate what is right in the way of profits, the expense of operating the business, the prices that should be paid the farmers and the prices the consumers should pay for food products delivered.
 Mr. Browns plan is to have an au- thorized expert, named by the govern. ment, take full charge of the plants, with headquarters in Spokane anu have authority to fix the prices paid and charged, thus placing him in pos ition to investigate at first hand the cost of handling manufacture and de- livery, fixing also a reasonable profit OF the capital invested in the dairy industry.
 My sole aim is to assist the gov ernment in its investigation of the high cost of living, said MT. Brown, and I believe the plan I have sug- gested would put the authorities in closer touch with the producer. manu- facturer and consumer than any that has yet been suggested to the depart ment of agriculture"

Kansas City Mo, Fe1. 70 -o,sy,h- nine in far greater quantities than ur. ually administered in medical doses has ben found in the atomacl and liver of Chrisman Swope and .n the contents of the stomach, ejected by Miss Margaret Swope. according 70 a Special dispatch ecpived here from Chicago today,
 This information vas gwen ou by an assistant in the Rusl Medical Col. lege Laboratory.
 It was there that Dr. Walter s Haines, Dr. Ludwig HeEtoeu and Dr.. Victor Vaughn worked on the Swope mystery In the absence of these reu who are here testify ying, the assislan. revealed the story of the findings of the scientists in the two cases upon which no official report has yet been made
 It was in this same laboratory that the stomach and liver ol Thomas H. swope was examined Thoug1 rope of the examinations are finished ,he Scientists are convinced that neither Thomas II. nor Chrisman Swope would have died when they did had it not ben for strychnine.
 Strychnine is more appare.C in the viscera of Chrsman Swope than in that of Thomas H. Swope, according to the Chicago story The poison was found here in marked quantities An examination of the liver revealed much more strychnne
 In neither the case of Miss Mar garet or Chrisman Swope. it is said, could the strychuine have ben prese t as a result of hypodermic injections for medicinal purposes.
 Although impossible of confirmation it is understood the story of the labo- ratory assistant is the same as that told the grand jury here by the physi- clans today.
 Dr. Haines and Dr. Hehtoen we're called early
 By invoking the aid of an old law Drs. Hektoen, Vaughn and Haines escaped giving their deposition 10 Dr. Hyde's attorneys.
 As a further safeguard they were placed under bond 10 appear before the grand jury until dismissed by Prosecutor Conkling.
 After the close Of the grand jury session tonight. they were quietly dis. missed by prosecutor and they return. ed to Chicago.

 Resolved, That the league is op- posed to what is denominated as syn. dicate baseball and 1t will not permit dual ownership where one club owns or controls another club inl this eague'

 Changes in the constitution were as follows
 l. Empires who default their as- signmentss hall be fined one days pay instead of SIP as previously.
 ?. That a postponed game need not be played off on the grounds where postponement was made, but if such is not done must be played off on the opposing clubs ground"
 3. That the schedule meeting of the league shall be held annually in New York on such a day in February as the president of the league may de- eide Ten days notice shall be given to each club.
