This will be an early spring, as
Easter ome on April Z. An early
Easter is a sign Of an early spring and
it is Of the signs that never fails.
Do Won know why, or do You know
how to tell when Easter comes? It is
easy if you will look up the history
and teachings of ancient erudites.
According to their teachings Easter is
the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the sun crosses the equi-
nox. The sun crosses the equinox on
March 81 and the first full moon
after that date is April 8, and the
first Sunday after April 8, is April 7.
Easter m this year very early,
and consequently al early spring will
follow.
DIR. 0. B. Prickett, president of
the state association of osteopaths,
went to Helena Sunday to assist in
seeing that his bill, introduced by
Representative Hedges, to recognize
the practice OF osteopathy, does not
fall by the wayside. Since the bill
was introduced DR.. Prickett has re-
ceived letters from members of the
state medical board requesting that he
amend the bill SO as to combine the
two boards, the medical and osteopath.
The bill specifically states that the
members Of the osteopath board shall
not draw any salary from the state.
Under the law governing the state
medical board, the members of that
body receive salary. DR.. Prlckett
thinks his measure is all right and
does not need "fixing" and there will
remain as introduced.
