attitude of those scientists who ques-

says some people would have ques-

that if 1t had been heralded in advance

Assessors Figures Ignored
The San Francisco members of the
state board of equalization sat un-
perturbed through the arguments of
Ed. Hopkins, assessor for Los Angeles
county, and his deputy, E. o. Weed,
ignored the affidavits of prominent tax
payers of this county and stood pat on
the raise of the valuation of property
in the counties of the fourth district
San Diego county escaped, the north
ern members apparently being salts
fed with the appraisement of the
southern county.
AS the assessment now stands Los
Angeles will pay taxes on $5S5, ,401, 164,
as against $539,091, ,039 in San Fran
cisco, or $46,310,125 more than the
metropolis of the state.
The manifest unfairness of the as
sessment is apparent and has evoked
storm of protest, which has passed
harmlessly over the heads of the three
northern members, Joseph H. Scott of
San Francisco, Alexander Brown Of
Oakland and r. e. Collins Of Redding.
In Scott's district San Francisco
alone was affected escaping with a
raise Of 10 per cent.
Browns district raised Alameda
county III per C6Hlt dllQ III COlllllS
trict Yolo county was boosted 15 per
cent, while in the district represented
by McElvaine, comprising fifteen coun-
ties, the increase ran in some instances
as high as 100 per cent, amounting to
the enormous sum of $254,25S,22
Los Angeles Hit Hard
Compared to Los Angeles, other
counties in the district got off light.
Fresno, Monterey and Tulare were in
creased 20 per cent on the county as
sessment; Santa Cruz and San Joaquin
15 per cent and Santa Clara 10 per
cent. Of the southern counties, Ven
tura was hit the hardest, pro rata, the
board doubling the valuation. Orange
county comes next on the high list
with an increase of 80 per cent, and
Los Angeles and Riverside each got
boost of 40 per cent. San Bernardino
was increased one-third, Santa Bar
bara % per cent and Kern county 20
per cent. The total increase for the
seven counties amounts to $214OS2,OS7,
or two-thirds of the entire increase of
the state,
Incidentally, the board made the low
est state tax rate in existence, 1854
cents on every $100 of the assessed
valuation, but this is overcome many
times over by the excessive valuation.

Care of Bottles

Bottles come in two or three sizes and the newest ones are made without any angles, so that they may be cleaned easily. The digestion of the child de bends upon their perfect cleanliness. After beng used they should be hiied with cold water to which little soda or borax should be added. They then should be washed in hot water and soap and cleaned by means of bottle brush After this the bottles as well as the other utensils should be boiled. They may be boiled just before filing them, hut they must be cold when they re- ceive the milk. The rubber niples that were attached to long rubber or glass tube are TO longer used, for 1t IS i'm possible to keep them clean. The best nipple for use is one which has long bulbous end. A child can hold this more easily to its mouth. The milk should flow from the bottle drop by drop and not in stead stream, as some people think.
 In giving the bottle to the child ne sbould be held comfortably in the arms and not held in too reclining posi- tion, as then it cannot swallow easily.
 Every mother should have several or the little cases for the bottle made or swansdown flannel. These are put around the bottle to keep it warm. They are effective, but they must be made so that they may be washed easily

For Women and he Home
Beauty Without Grooming

Beauty without grooming is nothing, but there are many people who do not realize this, or else do not pay any at- tentlon to it. The girl who is merely pretty win be old by the time she is thirty if she does not take care of her self, while the girl who is not blessed with as regular features, but who is we'll groomed and who is particular about the little things, is the girl who never will grow old.
 There are any number of really beau tiful girls who ignore the little details of their toilets. These girls would never be noticed for their beauty, but if they were particular about these things every one would acknowledge their loveliness. No one likes to see a pretty girl whose hair looks lifeless and unkempt, whose teeth show that they do not receive the proper atten- tion, and whose eyebrows are in an ir- regular line when nature meant them to grow in fine straight line if they had not been neglected.
 The we'll groomed girl is 8 delight to the eye. Not only does her body show the perfect care and attention, but her clothes, however inexpensive and plain, show the same thought and care. One instinctively knows that her underclothes are adjusted as neatly as are her outside garments, and that they are just as clean. The well groom ed girl would never dream of wearing soiled shoes as long as there was any possible way to get them clean. Every detail of her toilet speaks of the pains taking attention that it has received.

which resulted as above stated. Let

to shield her father by swearing that
she wrote the letters. But the case

their victory, and ever since have
been telling us the things that they
would do when the Clayton county
rats" came here for the return
game. But there was nothing to it,
When they got under action yester-
day afternoon at the fair grounds,
with the diamond flooded with pools
of water, the local rats" discovered
to their dismay that the visitors
were web-footed and took to the wa
ter like rats to the corn crib. 1t
was easy meat for them, and while
the local rats" slipped and slowed
and slid about, the visitors swami
around as they chose. Qualley was
the only man who seemed to know
what water was, and bagged the only
score of the game, while the jolly
good fellows from Clayton went home
with sack filled with eight big ones.
