consumptives Made Comfortable.

Incipient consumption is cured by
Foley's Honey and Tar, but we do not
hold out false hopes to consumptives
by claiming that it will cure this
dread disease in the advanced stages;
but If the lungs are not too far gone
Foley's Honey and Tar will effect a
cure. as it stops the racking cough
and soothes the inflamed air passages
giving them a chance to heal, and
even in the advanced stages 1t always
gives comfort and relief. A. A. Her

Honey and Tar is the best preparation
for coughs and lung trouble. / know

Testimony was taken at Montpelier
Monday. Oct "a, in the mandamus
proceedings brought by p. w. Glenn
ent of Rutland against State Audi
tor H. f. Graham, to compel the au-
ditor to allow an examination Of the
vouchers in his office. Attorney
Moulton +. e. Miles, deputy state
auditor and State Auditor Graham
were examined, the testimony of Mr.
Moulton showing that he was re-
fused permission to examine the
vouchers in the auditors office. Mr.
Miles and Mr.. Graham were ques-
toned at length as to the reason for
such refusal. Mr.. Graham denied
that the vouchers in his office are
public property, and subject to ex-
animation by any citizen and tax
payer. Mr.. Graham testified that
since he had been state auditor there
had been no mismanagement of his
office. He allowed an examination OF
Mr.. Bells vouchers because Mr..
Bells character had been assailed
and if the charges against him were
true he would have been disqualified
for governor. He considered that this
instance entirely outside the rule
that the vouchers were not public
property. In p w. Clements depo-
sition, taken at Rutland recently, In
connection with his petition, he said
that when he was senator from
Rutland county in 1900, he discov-
cred that the auditor had not adopt
ed a proper system of accounting.
This was due to insufficient clerical
force. The published reports do not
show sufficient detail to determine
in what departments there has been
an undue and unreasonable increase
of expenses and this can only. be
found in the original vouchers. This
information Is necessary for the ac-
complishment of any reform. Mr..
Clement said he believed there has
been and still is negligence and mis-
conduct in the handling of the state
money and that his object in trying
to get at the vouchers is not curios-
ity but a determination to make pos
sible necessary reform In state
methods of doing business.
