Device Is the Invention of Convict in the San Quentin Prison. PROVEN TO BE A SUCCESS
jRCERY I J
BANKERS ARE PLEASED WITH IT AND DECLARE ITS EFFECT : WILL BE WIDESPREAD PARDON OF MAN URGED.
Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 27. After being sentenced to twenty years in San Quentin prison for highway robbery, Frederick Hoffman, who now
has completed two years of his long
sentence, has perfected a machine which promises to effectually prevent the raising and forging of checks and false identifications. Not content with the routine of prison life, the man whose inventive genius has astounded the world, put in
every hour in pondering over plans for his machine. Every night when
supper had been served and the con
victs returned to their cells to pass a
few hours as suited their tastes, Hoffman labored on his anti-forgery machine.
A fellow convict, skilled in. wood turning and carving, aided Hoffman,
and a wooden model finally was constructed. Crude as it was, every per
son who saw the model pronounced It one of the most wonderful inventions of the age. Permission easily .was obtained from Warden Hoyle to
apply for a patent, and by means of
outside capital a full-sized machine
was constructed. Hoffman hopes, and
many believe he will be successful,
to obtain his pardon through the in
vention and to make a fortune after
his release.
In the office of A. D. Childress, 220
I. V. Hellman building, Los Angeles,
there is a machine which is called the
National Cash protector and the presi
dent of every bank in which it has
been introduced declares it will prove
of great importance to banking. Like Adding Machine.
With long rows of numbered keys above, giving it the appearance of the
modern adding machine, one must be cognizant of every cipher and code
employed by the bank to obtain the
desired results. The keps, of which
there are seven rows, are numbered
draft, money order, bill of lading or whatever paper the operator wishes to
mark is placed in one end of the ma
chine and securely clamped. Keys then are pressed giving the bank's
secret mark, the amount of the check
and identifing the person receiving
the money. When the paper is with
drawn from the machine, however,
nothing more is visible than half
dozen round holes, punched apparent
ly at random on the face of the check.
When the paper in which the holes
have been punched is laid upon
piece of cardboard with correspond
ing rows of numbers the holes fit over the numbers punched by the original operator of the machine. After having exhibited the machine in manv Ran Vranoisort Oakland nnrJ
Los Angeles bankers the persons who are backing the financial end of Hoffman's invention are confident that every banking institution in the country will install a machine. Steps now are being taken by persons interested in Hoffman's case to bring about his release, and it is stated on reliable information that Governor Gillett is willing to grant the pardon.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 27. Much has
appeared of late In papers about pea
nuts as feed for hogs, some of the
more extravagant writers goinp so far as to assert that hogs can bo finished
probitably by being turned into a pea
nut patch in the fall and letting them root the'-. living out of the ground
with no o:her attention than a supply
of water.
Texas hog raisers who have had
practical experience will not be mis
led by the conclusions of such leaJ
pencil experts, but beginners or Inexperienced hog raisers may be fooled
la to making a serious mistake.
Good as Soft Food. As a soft feed for hogs peanuts are excellent, probably better even than allalfa, as the peanut hay is almost as good as alfalfa, while the goobers themselves are an added element of food. But peanuts fed alone will produce soft oily pork, which will ror kil. but well, nor will it be satisfactory as bacon or ham. A consignment of Agricultural aid Mechanical college hogs sent to market this year included several which were fed almost entirely on peanuts, and these proved to be the poorest of the lot. So far the packers have shown no discrimination against the straight fed hogs, but sooner or later they M'ill, just as they now will give I'.vth less for straighc mast fad East Texas hogs than they will for any other knd. Cn the other hand, the cheapness of pp.fcMits and the ease with which thoy may be raised and harvested make them too important and valuable hog
feed to be overlooked. In connection with Indian maize, or even kaffir corn, they are excellent, and when the ration is still better balanced with tankage the hogs will grow at an encouraging rate. When some one talks of peanuts a3
the ideal hog feed remember that
there is no ideal feed for hogs. Even
in the corn belt hogs must have an abundance of green stuff, preferably clover or rape, to put on frame before they are ready for finishings. As a frame builder peanuts, where they will
grow, are excellent.

WHEN DINNER COMES One Ought to Have a Good Appetite,
GUVIS ON STAND TELLS ABOUT THE COAL LANDS DEAL (Continued From Page One.)
Ai good appetite is the best sauce. U goes a long way toward helping in
the digestive process, and that is ab
solutely essential to health and strength. Many persons have found that GrapeNuts food is not only nourishing, but is a great appetizer. Even children like the taste of it and grow strong and rosy from its use. It is especially the food to make a weak stomach strong and create an appetite for dinner. "I am 57 years old." writes a Tenn. grandmother, "and have had a weak stomach from childhood. By great care as to my diet I enjoyed a reasonable degree of health, but never found anything to equal Grape Nuts as a standby. "When I have no appetite for breakfast and just eat to keep up my strength, I take 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with good rich milk and when dinner comes I am hungry. While if I go without any breakfast, I never feel like eatig dinner. GrapeNuts for breakfast seems to make a healthy appetite for dinner. "My little 13-months-old grandson had been very sick with stomach trouble during the past summer, and finally we put him on Grape Nuts. Now he is growing plump and well. When asked if he wants his nurse or GrapeNuts, he brightens up and points to the cupboard. He was no trouble to wean at all thanks to Grape-Nuts."

tne summer to obtain facts on the ground. This is operating under an authorization from congress which
gives it practically all the powers of a federal court and makes mandatory
a minute delving into every ramifica
tion of the controversy and there are
thousands of them.
Senators Nelson, Root and Souther-
land and Representatives Olmstead
and Madison were the more active of
the committeemen in plying the wit
ness and his attorney with questions,
and many times they referred to Sec
retary Ballanger's denials and sought
explanation of what they considered
discrepancies in statements. The democratic members of the com
mittee were not much in evidence today. Representative James asked only a question or two, and in each instance only to clarify some point at issue. Representative Graham took issue with Senator Nelson during the final minutes of the hearing and declared in a certain instance the burden of the proof was upon the secretary of the interior, rather than upon the
accusing witness.
The hearing was held in the general committee room on the second floor of the senate office building, just
across the plaza from the Capitol. Mr. Glavis was early on hand. Mr
Pinchot came in with Messrs. Price and Shaw and their attorneys. Special Attorney Henry L. Stimson of the
Department of Justice, stationed at
New York, also accompanied Mr. Pin
chot. He said he was present merely as a spectator and friend of the former
forester.
Glavis requested that his testimony
be taken through an examination by his counsel. He then was sworn and
Senator Nelson asked a few prelimina
ry questions.
Indianapolis, Jan. 27. Hereafter every saloon keeper whose license is not revoked following arrest for Sunday selling will have to attend church somewhere, get acquainted with the preacher and in some manner agreeable to him and the preacher make au arrangement for the preacher to act as his probation officer. If he has to promise to attend prayer meetings or Sunday school to get the preacher to act, so much better for
the saloon keeper. That's what Mayor Shank says. He says it will do them good to go to church. Mayor Shank yesterday afternoon heard the cases of two saloon keepers who sold liquor a week ago Sunday. One of them he placed under probation to the Rev. John Smoley of the Holy Trinity Catholic church in Maughville, telling the Rev. John Smoley that he was to "take the saloon and the sa.loon keeper under his wing." The license of the other was suspended until he can go to the mayor's office with a letter stating that he attended a church service and remained through the meeting. The mayor said that the preachers
to whom he had mentioned the plan had believed that it would result in good and a few prominent ministers of the gospel who were asked last night what they thought of the plan said they were sure saloon keepers would find hearty welcomes at their churches.
Regards it as Punishment. Mayor Shank is frank enough to
say that a part of his purpose in mak
ing the saloon keepers attend church
is to punish them, the fact being, he
says, that to most of them this will be a punishment; but he says, also, that it will do them "a lot of good," and that he is sure that at least dur
ing the time they are in church they
will not be selling liquor contrary to law.
He said yesterday that any saloon
keeper who persisted in violating the law or whose place was shown to be an especially bad one would have his license revoked. But his main effort
for a while will be to make the saloon men be good. Sending them to church, he believes, will help them be good.
Joseph Klemene. 751 Ketcham
street, Maughville, was the man whose
saloon was put "under the wing" of
the Rev. Mr. Smoley. He sold liquor
on Sunday. Mayor Shank told the
saloon keeper that if he sold on Sunday any more he would lose his lic
ense and in the mean time the Rev.
Mr. Smoley has agreed to try to persuade the saloon man to respect the
law.
The other saloon, keeper was Ma
rion Cummins, Twenty-first and Yandes streets. The mayor asked him if he
had men in his saloon on Sunday and
he admitted he had. On the evening
before he told a policeman that he was
going to close his place and go to
church the next day. On Monday he
told the policeman he had gone to
church. The policeman learned afterward that he had violated the law.
He made an investigation, to the end
that the man was arrested. Cummins
had, in fact, not gone to church. But he will go to church next Sunday. May
or Shank has arranged this. Long Absent From Church.
"Cummins," said the mayor, "how long has it been since you were at
church?"
"Why,"stammered the saloon keeper.
"I haven't been since I have been in
the saloon business." "That's been a good while." "Why. yes, a good while." "Well, you're going next Sunday.
believe it would do you good. And I know that for that long at least, you
will not be violating the law. Your li
cense will be suspended indefinitely,
but it will be in force again whenever
you come in here with a letter from
the preacher of some church I don't care what church and show me that you have been to church. You'll have to go and sit through the service and
listen to the preacher. It'll do you
good."
"You mean that I will have to close
up till then?" the saloon man asked
"Why yes, and till later than Sunday if you don't go to church Sunday. If you don't go Sunday, you'll have to go a week from Sunday, and if you sell be
fore I tell you your license has been
restored, you will be guilty of running
a blind tiger. So don't you sell."
Blood poison can never be cured with mercury or potash. You mifrht as well know this first as last. Medical authorities say so. The most these drugs can do is to drive the blood poison back into the system and smother it for several years. Then when you think you are cured, pitiful mercury symptoms will break out, and you find that your bones have been rotting all the while. Your teeth will begin to loosen and your tissues, glands, brain and vital organs will show the terrible destruo- . tive power of the mercury and potash. . Locomotor Ataxia. Paralysis. Imbecility and Premature death are then almost inevitable. Any medical authority will corroborate these statements. The re- , markable vegetable Obbac Treatment .

higher in proportion to any other article of diet at this time. In my opinion the agitation will be over in a week's time."' While top steers of about 1,100
pounds have recently brought as much as S4 per hundred weight the average price for .them has been $3.50 and even lower at times. This price, of course, means delivery at the stockyard. All shrinkage is borne by the shipper. The average fed steer will batcher at least f5 percent saleable meat, which at current prices paid by the butchers would bring the packing house about gross, or nearly twice the price paid for the steer. The r;3 percent waste, however, is not all loss by any means, because from it are manufactured many of the by-products of the packing house.
San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 27. Local
cattlemen are of the opinion that the present high price of beef is largely due to a considerable increase in the
price of feedstuffs and to a gradual decline in the stock industry. Ike T. Pryor, up to a few months ago president of the Texas Cattle Raisers association, when interviewed on the question said:
"There are several conditions that
have led up to the present prices. Taking all of them into consideration
it would appear to me that the cost of meat is normal. In the first place the consumer is no longer content
with low, or even average grades of meat. What he wants is the best. In view of the fact that the choice cuts
on a beef, for instance, are few, this aione would have a tendency to force up the price. Feeding steers has become a very expensive undertaking during recent years. Formerly one of them could be put in fine condition for the market for about $10 and sometimes even $8, today it costs about $25 to fatten the animal up. The ranges recently have been poor and the price of corn has been constantly going up. Another factor entering strongly into the question is the centralization of the people of this country in the cities and the resulting abandonment of farms. For some time past everybody has been rushing into the factory and farming has been neglected. The price for cattle on the ranch has not advanced appreciably, though I am not now prepared to say definitely what its relation to the present prices of beef are. According to all indications it is the price of feed that is responsible for the conditions that have led to the meat boycott in the North and Bast." J. T. Gibbons, manager of the Houston Packing company, expressed similar opinions. He assigned the scarcity of hogs as one of the causes of the high price of meat. The hog market, he said, had been so poor for some time that Chicago packers had been obliged to pay 9 cents and over per live pound. Mr. Gibbons's attitude towards the boycott was one of indifference. He said: "It is any man's privilege to eliminate meat from his table. Meat is no
