hastens the Precipitation by beating
himself with birch sticks. When the
blood has become warm and the bathef
is as red as a lobster he runs out and
throws himself into the snow and then
returns to the bathroom to continue the
treatment. Where there are no bath
rooms the peasants make themselves
one in a very simple fashion by crawl
ing into the oven. But nowhere does
the peasant neglect his weekly bath"
Sometimes he stays in the oven too
long and is taken out dead.

will put the jitney out of business.
Under the provisions of this meas

Appropriation Bills Cut.

Appropriation Bills Cut.
Appropriation bills for the state
board of control, the several state
charitable and penal institutions and
for the state board of health were re.
ported to the assembly by the COM
mittee on finance of the legislature.
Seventy-five thousand dollars, repre-
senting cut of $4,000, is appropriated
to the state board of health for the BIZ
ennial period. For administration pur-
poses the board of control is allowed
an annual appropriation of $4,000, a
cut of $4,000. Similar reductions are
made in the case of nearly every in
stitution, although in some instances
the committee has recommended
slight increases where new buildings
are needed.
As against a request for $4,000, the
committee allows an appropriation of
$4,000 in the handling OF convict labor
in road building.
The total appropriation for the state
charitable and penal institutions for
the fiscal year 1915, is $1,666,5S5; for
the fiscal year 1916, $1,65O,845, repre-.
senting cut of about 100000 for the
biennial period.
Senator Plat Whitman introduced
bill appropriating $4,000 to the new
department of agriculture so that all
bills pending against the state fair
management may be paid.

of the legislature appointed to investi-
gate realty transactions made by the
regents Of the university has been
fled in the senate. The report finds
that in the purchase of land are made
without system, unwisely and waste
fully" Boiled down the findings OF
the committee were summarized in
the following statement by Senator
Frank Hanson, chairman of the in
vestigating committee:
after examining numerous wit
nesses the committee appointed under
joint resolution No. 44a, relating to
the purchase and sale of lands by the
university, report that Ill parcels
were purchased for 1856, O49.62, that
eighty-seven parcels were sold for
$27,561.24; that the parcels sold were
all sold before 1869 because in those
days there was not sufficient money
to pay for the upkeep of the university
and the salaries of the instructors.
Purchased UnwiseIy.
THE committee also finds in recent
years various tracts have been bought,
some of which notably the Olin-Ray.
mer tract, were purchased at a price
OF $1,000 an acre, and that these and
the other purchases of recent years
were purchased without system, Dur.

An interesting situation has de.

the legislative slaughter when some

governor stood by as a sort of help

is different. The governor could not

there Is q possibility of q special

sacrificed something. To return to

the bill in that form because of the
large powers that it gave to the head
of the police department. Arguing for
the bills, friends of the measure said
that it was the plan to substitute the
more desirable place for the undesir-
able place. Governor Philip said that
If the bill carried assurance that such

To make it certain, the governor in
sisted upon the powers outlined for

There is one provision Of the bill

Episcopal Church Notes

Bishop Matthews has issued a call
to observe Friday, Dec. II, as a day of
fasting and humiliation before God and
special prayer In view of the present
conditions in Europe in which, as
Christian people are approaching the
observance of the festival of the birth
of the Prince of Peace and the great
Christian revelation of the true God,
the fact remains that the Christian ma
tons on both sides of the dreadful con-
flict have allied themselves with an
infidel and heather power to support
their cause. He has appointed Sun
day, Dec. 10, as a day of special inter-
cession for peace, urging that there
seems to be an appalling indifference
on the part of Christian people TO their
own part and privilege in this dreadful
struggle. These days will be observed
in st. Simeon's church.
On Sunday at four O'Clock there will
be a special service for men only as
part of the twelve day mission now
being held. The service will be of the
informal kind, with a m by the
rector. All men are invited.
