Quarantine Against
 California

A strict quarantine against California for the purpose of preventing the spread of infan- tile paralysls was ordered Mon day. The following is the full text of Superintendent of Heal tn Dr. R. N. Looney's order.
 Following a joint conference of the State Board of Health with the Council and Committee on public policy of the Arizona Medical Associa- tion, at the Capitol, August 19, the Board of Health, acting on the recommendations of the con- ference. amended it's regulations so that infantile paralysis is add led to the list of communicable diseases included in the quaran- tine regulations of the Arizona Health Laws.
 All children entering Arizona from California wijl be placed in quarantine for fifteen days the incubation period of this disease. This is already being done in most of the cities of Arizona, but is to be made a universal practice all over the state. Of more importance. perhaps, in preventing the disease, all clothing and personal effects brought in by anyone from Cali fornia must be fumigated inn mediately on arrival at it's de- situation. The County Health officers, with the aid of the City Health boards, will take this in charge.
 Residents of Arizona with children visiting Tn California are advised to bring them home at once, subject to the modified quarantine which will be i'm posed on their arr:val; otherwise, should the epidemic increase, an absolute quarantine forbidding the entrance of children under fifteen years of age from Cali fornia will be instituted, which might result in keeping Arizona children in California, or away from home, indefinitely. Friends and relatives of families now in California are asked to write them these facts.
 R. N. LOONEY, M. D.
 State Health Officer.

 The conference was held in office of the Board of Health and was participated in by Gov ernor Hunt, Attorney General Bullard, State Superintendent Looney, Drs. w. A. Hughes, Warner Watkins, L. L. Miner and M. L. Simpson of Phoenix.
 The following doctors, mem- bers of the Council, were tele- phoned and promised to heartily cooperate in the work: John R. Whiteside of Kingman, R. D. Kennedy of Globe, and John E. Bacon of Miami.

COMMISSIONERS FIX
 TAX LEVY FOR 1913

. At the completion of their work as a board of equalization the Board of Supervisors fixed the tax levy for the ensuing year.
 On the first of January, 1912, when the present board assumed it's duties the cash on hand in the general fund was $1l. 765 86 It seems almost unnecessary to add that more than this is need ed to conduct the affairs of the county. The new levy is as fol- lows:

 My dear sir:
 IAC 1OQI SDISSClI Cd u SS from the recent Aztec meteorite shower, which you so consider ately thought of presenting un- solicited to the National Museum, have been turned over to the Department of Geology, where, after an investigation into their composition and pro- perties, they will be a valued ad- dition to the Mpseum's collection of meteorites. and credit for the donation will be given you on the descriptive label. It is hoped that you will be able to call at the Museum one of these days and give us the pleasure of E moving you your contribution with it's associates, and other in the Department as well.
 l note your request for ln- formation concerning this in teresting type of phenomen. In due time a through investigation into the composition of the Aztec fall will be made and you will be supplied with the results in detail. But such a work in- wolves months of time. and for the present, what information may be supplied is only such as is common to meteorites in general.
 Naturally meteorites must have been seen to fall as far back as there have been human eyes to behold the phenomenon, and allusions are to be found in the earliest literature. It was not. however, until the year 1903 that a fall occurred sufficient ly under the direct observation of scientifically trained minds to all doubt. This epoch fall occurred at L'Aigle, in the environs of Paris. on April 26. 1903. The first scien- tifcaIly authenticated American fall took place at Weston, Con- on December IA, 1907. This latter was vouched for by Silliman and Kingsley, of Yale University, and, when told of the occurrence. Thomas Jefferson, then President, him. self we'll versed in the progress of science, is reported to have replied: Tt would be easier to believe that two Yankee pro- fessors have lied than that one stone has fallen from the sky"
 Following these as begin nings, there have been a total of between 760 and 800 authentic ated falls yielding speciemens to institutions. Common ly they afford but a single mass weighing anywhere from a few ounces to the fifty ton mass found by Peary in Greenland. as extremes.

 that at Pultusk. in Poland. in
 1868. where the aggregate fall
 has been estimated at about a

 ''The original mass enters the

 miles a second. The friction at such speed against the air generates heat sufficient to rem der the stone incandescent superfcially, and the differential expansion due to this sudden ex- posture to terrific heat, together

 Tn composition meteorites range from purely metallic one, consisting essentially of nickel iron alloy, through a type in which the metallic ingredients are in more or less equal amounts, to the essentially stony type. exemplifed in the Aztec. In general the mineral compounds of which they are constituted are common to terrestrial rock as well, the two notable differences being that quartz, the common est of terrestrial minerals, is practically an unknown constitu- ent in meteorites. whereas native iron, which has a most exceed ingly rare occurrence terrestrial ly, is an almost ever present of meteorites. This latter is the simplest one criter- ion for judging whether or not a given stone is meteorici in origin, and in the Aztec stone it may be seen as metallic points dissemin- ated throughout the mass. AS has already been said, it not in- frequently constitutes practically the entire mass of meteorite. It is invariably alloyed with nickel, and a confrmatory test in help ing to distinguished between artificial iron and metallic lies in testing for the presence of nickel.
 Various theories have been as to the origin of meteorites, one of the earlier ones being that they are not of extra terrestrial origin at all, but merely an accumulation of atmospheric dust spontaneously produced through electrical dis charge. Other theories have held that they are in the nature of volcanic bombs from the now extinct lunar volcanoes; that they are portions of a disrupted planet; that they are from solar emanations; and that in their fall the earthismerely retaining it's own which has been cast out as volcanic bombs beyond the direct influence of gravitation during periods of great volcanic outbursts.

BRBY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my frstI baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale Then it would break out
again and it spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
it kept spreading until it was on his
hands and arms. l bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had it about six months when a
friend told me about Cuticura. sent
and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
cake of Cuticura Soap and box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles Of Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes OF
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in, little curls all over
his head I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
81 have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since
to use for cuts and sores and have
never known them to fail to cure what
I put them on. Cuticura Soap is the
best that I have ever used for toilet
purposes" (Signed) Mrs F. E. Har-
mon, R. F. D. 2, Atoka, Tenn, Sept:
10, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and
Ointment are sold everywhere, a SAM
pie of each, with 32-page book, will
be mailed free on application to "Cuti-

Orders in the basement exactly under
the bearing partitions of the first
story; and where possible the bear
ing partitions on the second floor
should line up exactly with those OF
the first story. There is nothing like
having good backbone in house in
the way of bearing partitions by hav-
ing them lined up straight from foun-
dalton to roof.
The accompanying design serves as
a good Illustration of these principles.
Although an extremely sensible and
convenient house, it's exterior appear
ance is distinctive and artistic. 1t
couldn't be called fussy, yet there is
enough of characterization to escape
monotony The proportions are good
and the material used-cement plas-
ter on metal Iath-is the most popular
at the present time for high-grade
residence work.
The interior is arranged very SIM
ply, the idea being for the maximum
of roomy conveniences, There is a
very large living room of the kind so
popular in modern houses. The din
ing room is of good size and is very
conveniently placed with reference to
the kitchen, having buffers pantry
between. An open stairway along the
back of the living room leads to the
second floor. There are found two
very large bedrooms, liberal supply
of clothes closets and bathroom.
This house, having width OF rs
feet and length of % feet, is esti-
mated to cost $4,000, using a good
grade of hardwood flooring and finish
and with the modern conveniences OF
plumbing, electric wiring, etc.

NOT ALTOGETHER HIS FAULT
Verdict Brought in by Jury Certainly
Was Not Flattering to the
Accused.

A Wheeling CIV Va.) lawyer says
that he has heard many queer YER
diets in his time, but the quaintest OF
these was that brought in not long
ago by a jury of nlountaineers in a
sparsely settled part of that state.
This was the first case for the ma
jority of the jury, and they sat for
hours arguing and disputing over it in
the bare little room at the rear of the
court room. At last they struggled
back to their places, and the foreman,
lean, gaunt fellow, with superla-
lively solemn expression, voiced the
general opinion:
The jury don't think that he done

we think he would nave done it Ell

tain the floor joists will be so placed
that floor joists in even length OF feet
can be used without waste.
With too many builders who may be
called on to draw up plans, these
items which mean substantial saw
ing in the cost are frequently over
looked. In order to get a ceiling a
few inches higher than the standard
height when using 1S-foot studding,
they find it necessary to use 20-foot
studding and have to cut off the ends,
which means waste OF material as
well as a waste of labor which might
have been saved by little fore
thought.

of materials and is also good con-
struction to have the partitions and

Cremation Among the Franks.

An interesting archaeological dis
.overy was made lately near Brecht
(Belgium), where the remains of what
was evidently a Frankish cemetery
have been found The main interest in
the discovery lies in the fact that
clear traces are to be seen in the GEM
etery of cremated remains, as well
as of bodies buried in the ordinary
way, whereas hitherto it has always
been believed that cremation was not
uracticed amongst the Franks.

are nearly complete. They date from
the eighth century A. D. or somewhat
later. The Great Cave, $50 feet above

of sacred buildings very common In
India. 1t is a silva temple, fully lSC
feet long, the main body being a

A good lesson in home building may
be learned from the large operators
who make business OF building up
whole streets in the suburbs with
houses OF medium size for the purpose
OF selling the improved property at a
profit, besides increasing the valua-
ton OF the remaining vacant property
in the neighborhood These real es-
tate operators have found that it pays
them best to give great deal OF at
tentlon to the design of their houses.
OF course every house must be sub
stant1ally built and arranged for prac-
tfcal convenience and utility; but this
is not enough. Such houses must be
attractive also. Each must have a dis
tinctive, individual appearance
This matter of distinctive appear
ance is especially important where a
large number of new houses are being
put up at the same time in the same
neighborhood; for nothing looks quite
so cheap and un1nviting as a whole
line of new houses all packed in close
together and all of the same monoton-
Gus appearance.
While the average home builder
does not have this exact problem to
contend with, still he should take
warning from such examples and
guard against conditions that may
amount to practically the same thing
Ii he builds a house of commonplace
appearance, one that looks just like a
hundred others which have been built,
or may be built in the future, in the
neighborhood, he will find that there
is nothing to distinguish his house
from the rest. It will depreciate the
value on that account, for the pros
pective customer these days invaria-
bly, wants a house that he can take
pride in
And in addition to the increased
value of such house at times of sale
there is also more important phase
of the question. A house of attrac-
