SAY PROFESSORS
GET CREAM CHEAP
Alameda County MiIkmen Bring
Suit Against University
Model Farm

OAKLAND. April 5.-A dairy farm
for students where no students study
the manifold arts of dairying, a sys-
tenn for advancing the cause OF higher
education which peddles milk to pro-
fessors of the University of California
for IL cents a quart and sells the same
aileged brand to plebeians about town
Tor 10 cents quart and quits loser on
the year by SS60.46, this was the pic
ture of the dairy farm attached to
the University of California drawn by
the Alameda county milk dealers as
soclation today suing as tax payers.
Nothing short of a permanent in
junction and $1,000 damages was asked
In suit fled in the superior court
today containing the aspersions upon
the economical. educational and socio-
logical aspects of the state dairy farm
as viewed by the professional dairy
men,
The dairy farm was well equipped
with everything but students, said the
complaint. There were SO bovines OF
all grades, two wagons, three horses
with harness. 200 milk bottles, COM
plete cooling and bottling plant and
four professional farm laborers, drawn
from the great body of laborers of the
state. but not one from the body of
students.
II the students derived no advant-
ages from this esta blishment not so
the professors. They got rich creamy
milk ia bottles from wagons which
appeared daily, and they got 1T for
three cents less on the quart than 9TH
er citizens. That ranked and made
1t hard to compete for select trade.
The professors were said to have con-
sumed 5000 gallons of milk at this
rate out of a total production of $4,000
gallons. Eight thousand gallons went
to the citizens of Berkeley at the ex-
cess rate. Two thousand remained un-
accounted for until the presence of
promising calves on the farm was re-
called.
In addition to claiming that the uni
versity dairy served no very great
educational end, that 1t lost money
and had to have deficit made up out
of legislative appropriations, the com
plaint also said that selling milk to
citizens direct was against the state
law Surplus products from a state
institution should never be sold unless
the demand for that product from 9TH
er institutions had been absolutely
supplied. The state board of ex-
aminers were said to be judges of this
condition and should be consulted
The complaint recited that the state
board of examiners had been ignored
and the peddling continued on the
streets after the professors had pas
teurized and otherwise had their say
about the milk and cream produced.

HOW | MADE
MY HAIR GROW
woman with MarveIously Beautiful
Hair Gives Simple Home Prescrip-
ton which She Used with Most Re-
marfabIe Results

was greatly troubled with dam
druff and falling hair. I tried many ad
yertised hair preparations and various
prescriptions, but they all signally
failed; many of them made my hair
greasy. so it was impossible to comb it
or do 1t up properly. 1 think that many
of the things tried were positively in
furious. and from my own experience
can not too strongly caution you
against using preparations containing
wood alcohol and other poisonous sub
stances. 1 believe they injure the roots
of the hair. After my long list OF fail
ures 1 finally found simple prescrip-
ton which I used with most remark
able results. and I can unhesitatingiy
state that it is beyond doubt the most
wonderful thing for the hair I have
ever seen. Many of my friends have
also used il and obtained wonderful ef-
fects therefrom. 1t not only Is pow
erful stimulant to the growth Of the
hair. and for restoring gray hal rto it's
natural color, but IL is equally good for
removing dandruff. giving the hair
life and brilliancy. etc, and for the
purpose of keeping the scalp in first
class condition; it also makes the hair
much easier to comb and arrange in
nice form. 1 have friend who used
II two months, and during that time 1t
not only stopped the falling OF his
hair and wonderfully increased its
growth, but 1t practically restored all
his gray hair to its natural color. You
can obtain the ingredients for making
this wonderful preparation from al
most any druggist. The prescription
is as follows
Bay rum. ozs.: Menthol crystals,
one-haf drachm; Lavona de Com
posee. ozs.; o-Kalon perfume, 1 to
2 teaspoonfuls-
Apply night and morning: rub thor
oughly into the scalp
Go to your druggist and ask for an
eight-ounce bottle containing six
ounces Of bay rum: also one-half
drachm of Menthol crystals. and for a
two-ounce bottle of Lavona de Com
posee Mix the ingredients yourself
| in your own home. Add the Menthol
, CRYSTALS to the bay rum and then pour
Lavona de Composee. and add the
To-Kalon perfume. Let II stand for
one half hour and 1t is ready for use.

BLAMfS MOON FOR
GRAVEYARD THRONG
Sheriff Barnet Officially Accuses
Goddess of Night of Adding
Mems Brains

OAKLAND, April 5.-The geogra-
pliers plainly teach that the moon by
its attraction causes tides in the seven
seas, and since the night when the
moon goddess stopped and kissed Endy-
mion as he lay sleeping beside his
fiocks on Mount Ida, the Greeks have
held that person sleeping on a hill
side in the moonlight would become
either poet or madman.
Plainly the Greeks held that the
moon adversely affects mental poise
but it remained for Sheriff Frank Bar
net officially to charge the full moon
with adding the contents of mortal
craniums At his instigation the full
board of supervisors of Alameda county
will delve into the subject of the
mysterious relations between the queen
of the night and humanity.
The practical outcome of their in
vestigations may be the enlargement
of accommodations at the receiving
hospital for the monthly patches OF
victims whose downfall is directly
traceable, as Barnet asserts, to the full
moon.
Barnets reflections upon the moon
=
from his office today in which it was
stated that the police were co-operat-
! ing with his office in a campaign to
secure more space in the detention
! ward. There are but three wards at
present and suspects have frequently
TO remain at the city jail or at the
county Jail awaiting the vacating OF
rooms For the last week the ward
has been overcrowded, and a glance
at the calendar shows that the moon
is approaching the full. Sheriff Bar
, net writes:
insanity prevails most during the
time OF the full moon, and at such a
time the patients are more numerous
than at any other time of the MONTH
Could charge be more direct?
And in the meantime the supervisors
and the hospital attendants and the
sheriff and the police are busy with
the problem of adding space to the
ward against the arrival of the next
consignment of unfortunates whose
reason Diana, chaste goddess of the
night, has dethroned.

Rolf strictly construed the ordin-
ance preventing the pasturage of cat

corralled on this head alone were
legion. Goats, cats, dogs and horses
went the way of Pound Master Rolf un-
