MONEY ALMOST GERM proof.

Those who have hesitated to amass
wealth because OF the warning to "be-
ware the billions of bacteria that Turk

according to DR. w. G.. Rucker assist
ant surgeon general of the public
health service. He declared the other
day that tests and examination Of
currency. both washed and unwashed
bills. showed them to be singularly
free from germs. He attributed this
to the ink used in printing the bills,
which he said had proved to be an
almost perfect germicide.
"The public health service was call
ed upon to examine the sOiled money
returned to the treasury" said DR..
Rucker, after it had travelled around
the country and had passed through
the hands Of thousands OF persons.
To our surprise it was found to be

credit"
The ingredients used in the gov

ORGANIZING TO,
BUILD RAILROAD

BLYTHE, Cal, August IA. -
John Denair, an experienced pro
moter of railroads and other big pro-
jects, has arrived in the valley to
take charge of the active field work
of organizing a company to construct
a railroad from some point in the
Palo Verde Valley at once.
Instead of Subscribing to a bonus or
gift fund, the people will be asked
ito take stock instead, thus making
the subscribers the stock owners of
the road. The advantages in this plan
over the former one, can be readily
seen.
The fact that Palo Verde valley
needs a railroad, and needs it bad,
is fully realized by everyone here or
who owns property here. The import
ant question to solve has been how
to secure a transportation to connect
us with some railroad point in the
shortest possible time.
Last Nhdy d puDIlC lllSIIlHS do
he'd in Blythe in hopes that some
Plan of action could be suggested to
in luce some railroad company to con-
struct a line into the valley. At that
meeting a plan was formulated and
within an hour over fifty thousand
dollars was subscribed to a hundred
thousand dollar bonus fund to give
to such an enterprise. This subscrip-
ton has now nearly reached the one
hundred thousand dollar mark.
Within the last few days the rail
road proposition seems to have taken
on a new and better turn for action.
Many Of the big land holders and
many of the lesser ones, seem to
have come to the unanimous con-
clusiOn that the quicker and better
way to get railroad into the valley
| is to organize a company among
themselves and build the road at once
without waiting to go and solicit out
side help.
The new proposition seems to be
meeting with universal approval frC-
everyone who has been approach
as it seems very fair, inasmuch as it
gives everyone who subscribes a pro
rated interest in the road.
John Denair is probably the best
known railroad promoter and builder
in the west. For several years he has
been engaged in private enterprises
of his own and Immediate friends
in Turlock country, where he now re-
sides. He was promoter Of the Will
Jams to Grand canyon railroad which
runs from Williams to Grand Canyon,
Arizona; this road he financed and
built independent OF the Santa Fee
promoted the Kingman to Cloride
branch, from Kingman to ClOride
Arizona. The Johannesburg Califor-
MA road was promoted by Mr.. De-
nair, and he later promoted the rail
road to Searchlight, Nevada.
lE conversation with Mr.. Denafr
he informed us that he had every
reason to believe the new project
build a railroad into Palo Verde vail
ely from some point on a main line,
would be an accomplished fact in the
near future, and that if everything
went as we'll as anticipated, he hoped
to have the line so far constructed
by Christmas as to be able to haul
out big percentage of this years
crop He said he was meeting with
every encouragement possible and
finally closed his remarks by saying:
I've are going to have that railroad
SOON from what particular point, !
can not say at present, but we are
going to have railroad into this
valley before some people here hard
ly realize what is going on

Finds Moonlight Calls Forth Germ

Strange powers always have been
assigned to the moon, and 1t is not
surprising to learn that a South Afri-
can belief is that moonlight hastens
the decomposition OF fish.
But 1t fs surprising to find this be
lief brought forward As more than n
superstition. ID. E. Hutchins says he
has obtained experimental proof OF
this action OF the moon, and suggested
that it Is due to some low form OF life

BARRIERS OF THE WORLD.
Queer Methods Adopted in Various
Countries Told by an Exchange

Accustomed to the deft dexterity or
the. up-to-date barber, the Briton who,
in the course of a tour of the worlu.
placed himself unreservedly in the
hands of the tonsorial artists in the
various countries visited would have
some surprising experiences to relate
on his return home.
Nearly all the BARRIERS in Tripoli are
Italians, and the shops are as we'll
equipped as those of the Italian cities.
The native Arab BARRIERS require only
a razor for their equipment. They erect
their temporary shops in the market
places by spreading some mating over
a few poles Arabs have their heads
shaved. keeping the hair short so that
the white skull cap over which the
fez is worn will fit closely.
There are many BARRIERS in Muscat.
Oman. but no barber shops. Wealthy
persons are attended in their own
homes, while the poorer classes are
shaved in the bazaars. Both customer
and barber sit on a mat facing each
other. 1t is customary to shave the
entire head.
In Alden the BARRIERS are Hindus. who
generally call at the homes of their
customers. The European residents
have these BARRIERS call every morning
at about 8 o'clock, and pay about ;
shillings a month for the services,
which include one hair cut.
In Bombay. India. the workmen.
coolies. and lower class of servants
have their barbering done on the street
Native BARRIERS call at the houses to
attend the wealthier classes. In Kara
Chi all the barber work of the city is
done by peripatetic workmen.
The Harput barber places around his
customers neck a peculiar pan with
a semicircle piece cut out of one side,
SO that it fits partially around the neck
under the chin. Water is put into the
pan and the barber makes a lather
with his hands and rubs ii on the
customers face, usually using his
hands for this purpose also.
In Bagdad the weil-to-dO members
of the community have the BARRIERS
come to their homes. In Syria there are
barber shops of the European type
which cater to the better class trade.
while the cheaper BARRIERS ply their
vocation in the streets.-London Chron-
icle.

caterers at some French watering

The idea, which stands to the credit of
a Dane named Huiza, is to cool bever-

middle of the liquid but to serve up the
liquid inside ice In other words. your
