HEALTH NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM STATE HEALTH BOARD

pie for beucrment of health condi-
tions. The public is becoming gen
uinely Interested in the fact that by
hyginenic living life may be increased
in efficiency and comfort from early
youth to old age. 1t is WELL however,
to have clear conception Of what un-
derlics in fundamental way this
movement for the conservation OF hu
man health and human life. 1t does
not contemplate a complete return TO
nature by aholishing all the ways
and conNyulcncrs of civilization. This
would be throwing away our social
inheritance and returning to barbar-
ism. We mus, 90 forward, not back
ward. The cure for the evils OF civ
ilization must be more civilization.
The equilibrium of nature having been
upset by clNllllduuh, We must no"
work out tine remedies just as the
waste of the soil which civilization
has brought is to be compensated by
the great product OF ciNlIiIatlon' scien-
tiiic agriculture, SO the waste OF vital
resources Is to be compensated by
scientific hygiene,

legation that the Milford Valley lands
were not as reported. In retaliation
the promoting company comes back

Witness States That Wife of
the Defendant Was Said
to Be Irregular.
COURT CONTINUES
TRIAL TO MONDAY
Handwriting Expert Posi-
tive in Saying Lytle
Wrote All of Notes.

The defense contends that with the
! elimination of B. c. Lytle as COM
pctitor for the management of what
is known as the Potts drug store and
lack of proof to show that Thomas
Potts was other than friendly with
I.ytle's wife, that the state so far has
shown little or no motive that would
have impelled Lytle to twice dash
acid on the body of Potts.
On the other nand, the state MAIN
tains that Milton H. Carlson, hand
writing expert, showed conclusively
yesterday afternoon that Lytle was
the author Of several notes found on
the Armstrong premises at the time
Potts was injured. Carlson's testi-
mony was of a positive nature and
convincing to the spectators.
Disciples of pruriency were ap-
peased yesterday afternoon when
hit of salaciousness entered into the
testimony. N C. Soper, travelling
salesman for the Western Wholesale
Dug Company of Los Angeles, told
cf conversations held with Lytle when
the latter was attempting to get pos
session of the store. From Sopers
testimony it appears that Lytle had
practically made arrangements to
purchase the store, but finally decided
rot to take it over, explaining to the
witness that the sudden change had
been caused by the discovery that Ly-
lies wife had proven unfaithful. So
per also said that Lytle had then re-
lated that the particular instance was
not the only mark against the chas-
! tity Of the Lytle household.
Carlson went into minute details re-
garding comparisons Of Lytle's hand
writing and that of the writing in
notes found on the Arsmtrong prem
ises. Altogether the expert spent
eight days in making his deductions.
Owing to court procedure in this
county it was necessary to continue
the Lytle case until Monday morning,
december IS.

Hello BilP' Boys to Have
Big Ball at Masonic Hall
on Tuesday Night.

On Tuesday evening the Elks will
hold high jinks at the Masonic hall,
ball being the feature of the even

niogul in Elk circles, there has never
been anything heretofore that has
even approached the intentions of the

informant stated this morning that
repetition would be very unlikely,
as in all probability Police Commits

When the Elks start anything it is
reasonable to assume that there will
be something doing. The program
for Tuesday evening is not made pub

Two Day Butter Producing
Contest Big Event At Fair

arc to be MIXED twice in the presence
of the judge, who shall see the milk
weighed and tested for butterfat by
the Babcock test. AS in official work,
tie hours are to be kept and all feed
given to the animals is to be kept
track of and approved by competent
judges.
One of the rules is that no animal
producing less than one pound of but
terfat day shall be awarded a pre-
MUM. This test will bring out some
oi the heaviest producers although it
is of short duration and it is not of
a nature which will enable any one
to tell just what the cow will do
throughout the year. However, it will
give a good idea of what different
COWS will do at different stages of
milking.
These COWS will then be placed in a
prominent place on the grounds, with
a complete record of the result from
the two-day test.

ROAD FLOODING IS
CROWO|NG JUSTICE
MAYF|ELD'S DOCKET
Supervisor Arthur Shepard
Gets Results by Employ
ing Special Cops.

Special officers employed by Coun-
ty Supervisor Arthur Shepard have
filed twenty-five complaints against
those who have flooded highways and
permitted cattle to stray over irri-
gated portions of the roads. Justice
Of the Peace l. Mayfield is assessing
the minimum fine of $40 and inter
preting the law to the violators.
A majority of the cases pertain to
road flooding, which, under the Wig
orous campaign being waged by Su-
pervisor Shepard, is likely to end, as
the court cannot do otherwise than
assess fines. Under the provisions of
the statute there cannot be any ex-
tenuating circumstances and in all
cases guilt is practically admitted at
the start.
