DR.. Philip Rahtjen, Californian BacteriOl-
Ogist, Who Claims He Has Discovered
and Isolated the Hitherto Unknown
Germ Of Anemia.

DR.. R. W. Schultz Of Berlin, an eminent Ger
man physicist, has just made the statement that
the rate Of articulation of the bones Of a human
being is positive indicator of health. In order
to maintain the speed of movement throughout
the three classes Of the joints Of the body per
feet functioning of the lungs and heart above all
other organs, is necessary. DR.. Schultz says. In
winter time when there is no activity Of the
bones compared to the strenuous movements they
were put through when the outdoor weather was
good. the lubricating oils dry up and the vital
fluids which feed the muscles. not being called on
70 do their turn, lose much Of their power Thus.
as the winters come and go, each winter detracts

books for public school pupils, as soon
as the state can meet the cost, are
recommended in the annual report of
State Superintendent of Education j.
f. Swearingen, which came from the
presses today. He suggests that a
statewide tax levy Of three mills
would finance the initial purchase Of
the books. while one mill per year
would provide for their maintenance
and replacement after the first year.
Employment of a school accountant,
ir one of the state offices, also is
recommended by Mr.. Swearingen.
The state now has an investment
of more than $20,000,000 in public
schools and grounds, the report
shows. OF this total, $lS,647,0l3 is
represented by white schools, and
S2,00l, ,449 by negro schools.
The total income Of the department
last year was Sl0,652. .76l.02. while
the expenditures were S9,5l7 ,96S-
q. There were 235,535 white pupils
enrolled against 226,406 for the year

corresponding figures were 243,776

Interesting Talks Given by
Dairy Experts and Good Time

The annual creamery picnic for
the Mason district was held at the
Mason Park on Wednesday, and
there was fair attendance, but not
what was expected, many of the
farmers having started the cutting OF
their hay which kept them away.
A picnic dinner was served in the
grove at noon and there was also a
good program with instructive talks
by Messrs. Briggs and Collentine,
representing the StNte University,
who talked on dairy cows and two
cows were also judged.
There was considerable interest in
the meeting and had it been held
earlier the attendance would have
been larger, but it is hard to set a
date in advance when the farmers
will not be busy.
When the date for the picnic was
set by County Agent Brubaker it was

throughout the district haying will
be in full blast b ythe latter part of
next week. The first cutting will be
of medium red clover, which has be-
come SO heavy as to lodge and this
has necessitated early cutting. The
fields of new seeding look fine and
heavy yield will be had, while the
crops will be light on the old
