Average annual increase....s 9So2H.G4
These figures may not be exact. but
they are substantially correct, and the
auditor in the preliminary part of his
report, Discusses this matter and points
out. in part the avenues through which
this increase has occurred.
call this matter OF increase state
expenses sharply at your ats alton. IN
my judgment no further increase should
bc permitted, but a reduction sh 1uld be
insisted upon and effected by and through
the action OF the general assembly.
In the past two years no state tax
has been levied, but this fortunate con-
dilion cannot continue, unless You call
halt in the matter of State expenses
yourselves.
IN this connection, 7 recommend that
the Law relating to hounties for tho KILL
ing of noXious animals be repealed. In
the last biennial term the state has paid
on this account Sle, Nj. 50 and in my iudg
mrnt has not been correspondinGly bene-
iittcd.
The auditor of accounts. under our
law next to the Legislature. stands
guardian over the public treasury. II
you find upon investigation. that there
is an Inadequate clerical or other force
provided for this important office. I rec
, omm"nd that you be not niss1rlly in
making further reasonable appropr'd-
ton therefor.
In considering the financial condition
of the state, it may be proper TO briefly
call your attention to some condt ions
which indicate material prosperity. and

AN OBJECT LESSON
In q Restaurant.

A physician puts the query: Have you never noticed in any large restau- rant at lunch or dinner time the large number of hearty. vigorous old men at the tables; men whose ages run from sixty to eighty years many of them bald and all perhaps gray, but none of them feeble or senile?
 Perhaps the spectacle Is so common as to have escaped your observation or comment, but nevertheless it is an ob- ject lesson which means something.
 If you will notice what these hearty old fellows are eating. you will observe that they are not munching bran crack CTS nor gingerly picking their way through a menu card of new fangled health foods; on the contrary they seem to prefer juicy roast of beef. a properly turned loin of mutton, and even the deadly broiled lobster is not altogether ignored
 The point of all this is that a vigor- ous old age depends upon good diges- tion and plenty of wholesome food and not upon dieting and an endeavor to live upon bran crackers.
 There Is a certain class of food cranks who seem to believe that meat. coffee and many other good things are rank poisons, but these cadaverous
  ing condemnation of their own theo~ ries.
 The matter in a nutshell is that 1T the stomach secretes the natural diges- tive juices in sufficient quantity, any wholesome food will be promptly di- gested; if the stomach does not do SO, and certain foods cause distress, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal will remove all difficulty, be- cause they supply just what every weak stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro-chioric acid, diastase and nux
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act upon the bowels and in fact are not strictly a medicine, as they act almost entirely upon the food eaten, dlgestlng 1t thoroughly and thus giving the stomach 4 much needed rest and an ap- petite for the next meal.
 Of people who travel, nine out of ten use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, know ing them to be perfectly safe to use at any time and also having found out by exnertence that they are a safeguard against indigestion in any form, and eating as they have to, at all hours and ali kinds of food. the travelling public for wears have pinned their faith to Stuart's Tablets.
 All druggists sell them at 50 cents for fulI-sized packages and any drug qist from M4ire to California, if his oninion were asked will say that Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most popular and successful remedy for any stomach trouble weo-Irl'su.
