Mobile Has Difficult Problem

Mobile county has offered an interesting problem to the state in so far as the tax assessment of the Masonic temple in the city of Mobile is concerned The oues- ton has come to the attention of Attor- ney General A. M. Garber. who in a let ter to State Auditor w. w Brandon and to officials of Mobile county has dis cussed the situation without entering into an opinion.
 It appears that some time ago the tax collector of Mobile sold the Masonic temple for taxes, and that later the Masonic Temple association of Mobile. filed petition in the probate court of Judge Price Williams to set aside the sale. Acting upon the petition, the pl O. bate judge set the sale aside, sinul- taneously with which the state auditor honored the decision.
 In discussing the situation the Alabama attorney general suggests that in order ito fully determine the liability vel non of this association. to the payment of taxes on its property in Mobile, that the tax officer make a return for another year, assessing the property of the asso. citation for the next year as well as for the past years during which it has paid no taxes on it's property"
 As a elinch to his argument the at torrey general suggests that even if ,t had been consistent for the legislature to exempt the property of the Masonic Temple association from taxation, 1t is matter of some doubt owing to ap- parent conflict of the special act with section 40 of the constitution, which pro vides' that the subject of the section must be germane to the subject matter
 In regard to the improper service of tho notice of sale it is gathered that the assessment for taxes was made against the Masonic temple" and de- livered at the residence" It Is pointed out that the Masonic temple is build ing, and that 1t is It's own residence.

He says: ''The patient was a man who had suffered, to my knowledge. for years with dyspe4,ia. Everything he ate seemed to sour and create gases in the stomach. He had pains like rheuma- tism in the back, shoulder blades and limbs, fullness and distress after eating. poor appetite and loss of flesh, the heart became affected, causing palpitation anl sleepesspess at night.
 ''I gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood remedies, but to no purpose As an experiment finally bought a 50-cent rackage of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at drug store and gave them to him. AL most immediate relief was given and fter he had used four boxes he was 10 all appearances fully cured,
 There was no more acidity or so,,r vatery risings, no bloating after meals. the appetite was vigorous and he has gained between 10 and 12 pounds in weight or solid, healthy flesh.
 Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are advertised and sold in drug stores yet I consider them a most valuable ad- dition to any physicians line of remedies as they are perfectly harmless and can be gwen to children or invalids or in any condition of the stomach with perfect safety, being harmless and containing nothing but fruit and vegetable essences pure pepsin and Golden Seal
 ..Without any question they are the safest, most effective cure for indiges- tion, biliousness, constipation and all Arrangements of the stomach, however slight or severe"
