Shows Saving In State Printing.

SHOWS saving In State Printing.
A material saving to the state in
the cost of printing has resulted from
the abolition of the office of state
printer, and the transfer of the work
formerly done by that department to
the state board of public affairs, ac-
cording to the semi-annual report
showing the cost and distribution of
printing for period Of six and one
half months, ending December 81,
1913, which has been submitted to.
Governor Cruce by the board of af.
fairs.
The total printing expenditure by
the state during the period from June
H. 1913, to December 81, 1913, ex-
elusive OF the printing done for the
state board of agriculture, was $34,-
098.3S. OF this amount $18,094.95 was
paid for printing done under the state
schedule and S15,672.95 was let under
competitive bidding. Claims aggregat-
ing $33048 were approved by the
board for printing done under emer-
gency orders.
Comparisons for like periods during
the time the printing was handled by

KOCHs GREAT DISCOVERY

The first scientist to discover that tuberculeus diseases are due to the existence of baciIli was pr. Robert Koch, a German physician and bae- teriologist, who was born in Hanover seventy-one years ago today, Dec. il, 184S Dr. Koch commenced his inves- tigation into the causes of eonsump- lion in 1879, and on March 24, 1882, he announced before the Physiological Society of Berlin that he had discov- cred a specific germ, whicE he called bacillus tuberculosis The following year he went to Egypt and India and carried on Investigations which result ted in the finding of the comma bacil- ius, or cholera germ. Thenceforth he resumed his study of the white plague and devoted his efforts to
 finding some rival n1icro5e powerful enough to neutralize the effects of the tubercu1ous bacilli. In 1890 he star tied the world by the announcement that he had found such a remedy for the white plague,n but it was soon found that his lymph in it's effects on the human body, was worse than the disease. Dr.. Friedman's later discovery of a turtle serum from which so much was expected, has sim ilarly proved a failure. Later sexperf- ments with Koch's remedy are said to hold forth some hope of ultimate tri- umph over the dread disease.

THE WEATHER.

The keen and cutting air of Fri day morning was followed by a slight moderation, with signs of snow. The moon of last night was encircIed with a proGigIous ring, and the sky wore that peculiar appearance. of a coming storm. Early in the morning of to- day the snow fell furiously with a sharp, biting wind from the east, and with little intermission continued fall ing. The various railroads are now blocked and the trains are all behind time. There has been a good deal of poetry manufactured about snow, it's purity the robe of virgin white which nantles the earth,'' and much more to the same effect, but there is another side to the picture. as all can tell. who have plodded through it in several stages running from icy glare to knee-deep sIuth. Some may ex- claim rapturously, 'tthe snow, the beautiful snow. while others shrink from it with horror and pain.
