DR.. Ehrlich, German scientist,
says twelve million bacteria inhabit
the skins of half pound of cherries.
Currants come next with eleven mil
lion, and grapes next with eight mil
lion Well take the old codger's word
for it, The doctor urges that the
fruit be washed or peeled before eaten.
There may be few timid ones who
will do so, but the most of us will
continue to take our fruit in the same
old way, not minding the presence of a
few million bacteria.

Beginning of Arizona

Forty years ago the Territorial Gov Navajo Springs, in what is now Navajo County. It was on Tuesday, the 29th day of December, 1863, in the after noon that Secretary Mccormick, in the presence of other officials, their mili- tary escort and certain citizens, who accompanied the officers into the Ter ritory. made the following brief but appropriate remarks:
 "Gentlemen: As the proper quail fled officer, it becomes my duty to inaugurate the proceedings of the day. After a long and trying journey, we have arrived within the limits of the Territory of Arizona These broad plains and hills, form a part of the district, over which, as the represen- tatives of the United States, we are to form a civil government. Happily, although claimed by those now in hostility to the Federal arms. we take possession of the Territory without resort to military force. The flag, which I hoist in token of military authority, is no new and untried ban ner For nearly century it has been recognized, the honored. the loved emblem of law and liberty. From Canada to Mexico, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, millions of strong arms are raised in its defense, and above the efforts of all foreign or domestic foes, it is destined to live untarnished and transcendent-"
 The flag was raised, cheers given and prayer was offered.
 Secretary Mccormick then admins tered the oath of office to Chief Justice Turner and Associate Justices AllyI and Howell and Governor John x Goodwin took the official oath befor; the Chief Justice and caused to bt read a proclamation in English ant Spanish. The weather was cold ant the last rays of December sun ling cred upon the peaks of San Francisco mountain, when for the first time, th' stars and stripes fioated in the air o Arizona Territory by virtue of civi authority. In the military escort ol that memorable occasion was Sergean William R. Mccormick. who was al early pioneer into the Clifton mineri district, and whose widow and childrel
