AN OPINION BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Austin. Texas, May 15-The attorney
generals department today in answer 10
a query propounded by the comptroller
rendered an opinion to tho effect that
property sold for taxes under the Col
quit act can not be disposed of for less
than thelNmounl of all the taxes due, to-
gether with interest penalties and costs.
In conclusion the department writes;
After judgment has been taken against
property delinquent in the payment Of
taxes. 1t will not be an easy matter to set
aside the judgment and recover the prop
erty. Parties will be much mistaken if
they think they can let the property he
sold and then still use and occupy the
land without paying any taxes thereafter
on said properly in the same way as they
could under the old law providing for the
summary seizure and sale of such property
by the tax collector. In the former case
they have the judgment OF court of com
petent jurisdiction between them and their
property
In the event the State becomes the
purchaser, 1t can sell the property after
ten years from The date of the former sale
and give good title thereto"

TIL IRON TRADE.
Buyers Are Waiting for stiII Lower
Prices


New York. May 1.-THE Iron Ago. in
its weekly review OF iron and steel con-
ditions. says: Buyers generally are sull
waiting and not attracted by lower prices
offered them as inducements to cover their
requirements. The conditions prevailing
at Pittsburg, the great seat OF the iron
Industry. are not encouraging. The bust
ness now being placed is al special prices
and on special terms. IL is extremely
difficult to make quotations, oven on such
staples of the trade as Bessemer pig IRON
and steel blllets. The nominal price OF
Bessemer pig iron Is being sustained by
association, but offers are beng made from
manufacturers of pig iron elsewhere at
lower prices, without resulting in sales.
The outlook indicates a continued settling
of prices. and at tIxt moment no influence
appears in view Of sunolent weight 10

Considerable interest attaches TO the
possible closing down of many iron and
steel works during July and possibly Au-
gust. The amalgamated ASSOCIATION
strongly favors movement Of this kind
IN order 70 reduce productions, and thus
enable manufacturers to maintain prices.
The fact that this is the year of a presi-
Dental election initiates against any ex
pectation of any sharp reaction In prices.
Too much depends on the result of that
election for large commitments TO be
made which might prove Improbable.

TWO NEW WORKERS..

delicacies are prepared in a most slIlluil
manner
One evening last autumn while ON his

hcials of the n. ]. G. railroad, who seemed
TO be living with one foot in the grave
stomach so badly disordered that Moth
ing would digest 1t seemed only ques-
tion of few weeks. at most, when death
would come
Mr.. Hazard insisted upon taking the
gentleman TO his house and giving him
package of Graps-Nuts breakfast food,
which Is manufactured by the Postum
Cereal Co.. at the pure food factories at
Battle Greek. Mich, food which Mr..
Hazard had been using at his own table
for a long time, greatly to his beneft.
HE told the gentleman that he could
get well 10 n few weeks by the use OF
perfectly prepared food OF this sort. and
would never forget the day when he first
tried Grape-Nuts. The prediction came
true; the official Is not only alive today,
but is in better health than he has ex-
perierced for many years. all OF which he
attributes to the use OF Grape-Nuts and
from the advice OF Mr.. Hazard"
There are two reasons for this; In the
first place. Grape-Nuts are made from
certain selected portions OF whea, and
barley that contain phosphate OF potash
and albumen which nature uses in the
human system to make up the gray mat
ter in the brain and nerve centers through
out the body
The nervous system directly controls
the digestive machinery and the brain
controls the working and money making
power. Mr.. Hazard knows this. from his
perience with Grape Nuts, Therefore
whep he took the railway ofiicisl in cha ge
he knew exactly what ne was doing. and
the result proved the correctness Of his
knowledge.
