torists who are notified to come to court for various attractions of the motor vehicle laws respect the sum- mons," the chief said, but the few who apparently think they can trifie with the police by ignoring the noti- fication to come back when allowed to go without posting bonds must be taught that they cannot do 1t any longer. The only way to stop the practice is to require bond from everyone and this will be dohe' eI- fective at once."

in favor of bill soon to come before
congress requiring merchants to sell
goods at the price fixed by manu-

against it. Price fixing is undesir-
able any way you look at it. Goods

If one merchant, by liberal advertis-
ing, turns his stock over many times
in a year, and can afford to sell cheap
er than the merchant who does not
advertise, then that is his business,
and proves that he is better mer-
chant. He should not be forced to
charge higher price simply because
the merchant who doesn't advertise,
and who naturally does not sell as
many goods, must charge high prices
We want no government price fixing
in this country, and none of it by the

eide what he can afford to take and
the consumer decide what he can af-
ford to pay, just as they have always
done, and with satisfactory results.

BURBANK is A FRAUD

Though he had shortly before an
nounced himself as an infidel, Luther
Burbank spoke yesterday as re pulpit
guest of a Congregational church in
San Francisco, in accordance with an
arrangement made before his sensat-
ional announcement.
And what this lovable old plant
wizard said in the pulpit raises a
uouDt whether, in declaring himself
an infidel, he did not wantonly ible
himself.
FOR instance. he declared stoutly
that 'the idea that good God would
send people to a burning hell il utter
ly damnabie" to him.
The time when any man COLD make
a case for himself as an infidel on
that basis is long past. Many people
are that Just to the Greater without
FORGETTING their church memberships
People nowadays can be skeptical
about hell and speak as disrespect-
fully of the devil as Jesus did when
he called him a liar and said there
was no truth in him, and hardly any
body any more calls them impious.
Mr.. Burbank also satd that he
loves everybody and everything.

Big Saving In
State Cement

Good roads fund savings Of from
$4,000 to $4,000 this year will
result according to Charles NJ Bah
cock, state highway commissioner,
through purchase by the state direct
Of about 100000 barrels of Portland
cement for 1926 and other construc-
ton on Minnesota trunk highways.
Bids recently opened in public and
taken under advisement ranged
around $3.50 a barrel, plus freight
delivered at various highway con-
struction jobs. Nine concerns sub
mitted proposals, the majority being
direct from the mills.
Commissioner Babcock placed the
state saving at between Is and 20
cents a barrel and said it probably
will aggregate $4,000 under the
closest estimate possible. 1.-The state
is buying now on the lowest market
ten cents a barrel below the normal
.evel-the price contractors would pay
later when contracts are awarded
said Mr.. Babcock. Then the state
: sure also of taking advantage of
he discount of 10 cents a barrel for
cash payment, a thing which less
han half the contractors did, and of
avoiding some commissions and
"ther items | am confident that not
less than ID cents a barrel will be
,aved and there will be other gains
by quantity buying"
Although the call was for prices
on 100000 barrels, the commissioner
sold the actual purchase probably will
be nearer 100000, that being the APP
proXimate amount needed for perma-
nent highway improvement in pros
pect for this year.
Highway engineers said that aside
from the cash saving, the state pur-
chase Of cement is expected to afford
other advantages, such as eliminating
any incentive for contractors to use
less than specified, assuring cement of
highest quality through mill inspec-
ton and Alabling larger numbers of
contractors to compete for paving
jobs by reducing financing require

Living In a Home
With tuberculosis

Living in the house with a person
who has tuberculosis is not unsafe
when intelligent nursing is practiced.
Attendants in tuberculosis sanator-
iums seldom contract the disease.
In homes in which cases of tuber-
culosis have been handled in a care
less manner, the germs contaminate
the room in which the patient is kept.
When there are young children and
they are permitted to play on the
floors and to use household articles
from the sickroom, there is danger
that they may become infected.
Soiled floors and soiled articles are
also mediums for the transmission of
the germ to food supplies, by means
of flies and vermin.
The prevention of tuberculosis is
in the control of the sputum that
comes from the infected areas of the
lungs of the patient. The sputum
contains great numbers Of germs.
If each time patient coughs, the ex-
pectoration is spit carefully into a
sputum cup and burned, the trans
mission of the germs to others is
prevented. The spread Of the disease
would soon stop if every one with ac-
tive tuberculosis would comply with
this simple precaution.
tuberculosis germs soon die in the
presence of light, air and lack of mois-
ture. The renovation of a room on
the recovery or death of a tubercu-
losis patient requires thorough scour-
ing with hct water and lye in suffi-
cient quantity and strength to make
the room thoroughly clean; then the
doors and windows should be opened
for two or three days to permit the
entrance of sunlight and air and to
allow for thorough drying. If one
does not feel that these measures are
sufficient, the woodwork may be
freshly painted and the walls newly
papered.
Bedding and articles of clothing
may be sterilized by boiling. Arti-
cles that cannot be boiled may be
dry cleaned or summed and aired
