fads along the same line Restaurants may be found in the large cities where no meat pastry or coffee is served and the food crank is in his glory and arguments rand theories galore ad vanced to: prove that meat was never in tended for human stomachs and almost make us believe that our sturdy ancestors who lived four score years In robust health on roast beef pork and mutton 'must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health Our forefathers had other things to do tnan formulate theories about the tood they ate A warm welcome was extended to any kiiid from bacon to acorns A healthy appetite and common sense are excellent guides to follow in matters of diet and a mixed diet of grains fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best As compared with grains and vegetables meat furnishes the most nutriment in a highly concentrated form and is digested and assimilated more quickly than veg etables and grains Dr Julius Remmspn on this subject says: Nervous persons people run down In health and of low vitality should eat meat and plenty of it If the digestion is too feeble at first it may be easily corrected by the legular use of Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal Two of these excellent tablets taken after dinner will digest sev eral thousand grains of meat eggs or other animal food in three hours and no matter how weak the stomach may be no trouble win oe experienced it a regular practice is made of using Dyspepsia Tablets because'they supply the pepsin and diastase necessary to perfect digestion and every form of indigestion will be overcome by their use That large class of people who come un der the head of nervous dyspeptics should eat plenty of meat and insure its proper digestion by the daily use of a safe harm less digestive medicine like Dyspep sia Tablets composed of the natural diges tive principles pepsin diastase fruit acids and salts which actually perform the work of digestion Cheap cathartic medicines masquerading under the name of dyspepsia cures are useless for Indigestion as they have absolutely no effect' upon the actual digestion of food Dyspepsia in alt its many forms Is simplv a failure of the stomach to digest food and the sensible way to solv the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to dailv use at meal time of a preparation like T)yspepsia Tablets which is indorsed by the medical profession and known to con tain active digestive

the Supreme Court his brief in opposition to the application of Judge Edward Cahill for a mandamus to compel the board of state auditors to allow his claim for $250 for counseling Gov Pingree in the preparation of a taxation measure during one of the numerous spe cial sessions of the legislature The board of auditors refused to allow the claim on the ground that it was no part of the du ties of the executive to prepare bills for the legislature and that he had no more authority to employ counsel for" such a purpose at state expense than he had to write opinions for the Supreme Court The attorney general In his brief con tends that the executive has no power to employ legal counsel independent of the I attorney general except upon extraordinary circumstances which do not exist in this case He contends that the attorney gen eral was intended to be the exclusive rep resentative of the state in the courts and the legal adviser of the several state offi cers including the governor He quotes from the proceedings of the constitutional convention to prove this assertion and says it was not contemplated that any state officer should have authority to em ploy legal counsel Independent of the legal officer In this case the attorney was in no way disqualified from performing the services which Judge Cahill was employed to perforin and he was ready and willing to render the assistance required It is also contended with considerable force that the board of state auditors hav Ing passed upon the claim its determina tton is final and its acts cannot be review ed by the courts The determination of the board is said to be final for the reason that ir is a constitutional board and in passing upon the claim it was exercising its con stitutional functions Moreover it Is said tho officers have exercised their discretion on the facts which were fully Investigated and courts will not attempt to control the findings of the board under such circum stances An important contention is that the pres ent proceeding is in effect a suit agalnst the state for the collection of moneys and that it cannot be maintained for that reason as the state cannot be sued courts undertake to control the action of the board of auditors in the exercise of Its constitutional functions or In anythin save ministerial savs the attor ney general rules and privileges giv ing the state immunity
