new CANDIDATE
FOR Mint JOB
CAPT. DAVIS OF RENO WANTS
IN ON THE FEDERAL
POSITION.

The news that is goind around
to the effect that Andrew Maute is
looking toward the mint in this
city, is supplemented by the fact
that Capt Davis, formerly of Day
ton and now of Reno, also has
his weather eye on the plum. Capt.
Davis is out after the mint job,
and it is said that Congressman
Roberts is pulling his way. This
is all rumor. In the meantime,
Governor Colcord is holding down
the job. Some of his friends in
sist that he will stand on the tripod
and that is will take more than Mr..
Roberts to shake him loose.
Other attempts have been made
to dislodge Colcord from the posi-
ton. 1t has never worked He has
held down the job with a score of
other applicants after it, and one
who should be on the inside stated
recently that the split between Con
gresham Roberts and Senator Nix
on means that the present super
intendent of the mint will be the
nominee for re-appointment.
AS to the appointment of post
masters; this is pretty well repub.
lican throughout the state. The
fact that there has been a repub.
lican president in power for many
years has prevented any change
along this line. 1t is possible that
a few minor Offices may change
hands. In Reno the postmaster has
been appointed within the last year
Carson is in the same condition
Tonopah is in good and safe hands
and the peopleof Goldfeld wan
the man they have at the helm.
The fact that Andrew Maute man
aged the Nixon campaign and il
within striking distance of Wash
ington would appear to give hin
the lead in the case of chang,
at the mint. Someone is goins
TO land the persimmon. 1t ha
been supposed up to a very shor
time that the appointment at tn,
mint was a job as long as a re
publican president was at the helm
Considering that the presidential
election is but little over a yea
away there is unusual activity alonl
political lines, and this has prob
ably started all the rumors AM

EIGHT HOUR
LAW CALLS
FOR DECISION

Since the legislature of last win
ter amended the eight-hour law
there has been considerable ques-
ton as to its application From
the following opinion by Attorney
General Baker it would seem that
watchmen are required to work only
eight hours, miners must work
eight hours exclusive of meal time.
The following is the opinion as rem
dered recently:
Carson City, May is, 1911.
office of Attorney General, Hon.
Geo. ~ Noel, District Attorney,
Storey County, Virginia City, Ne
vada:
Il have the honor to acknowl-
edge receipt of your letter under
the date of May Sth, in which you
request an opinion from this office
on the following matters:
'First-The miners desire to as
certain if they are obliged to be in
the performance of eight hours of
actual work, or whether they should
be allowed sufficient time to par
take of luncheon, and that time
to be deducted from the eight
hours of labor required, or whether
they can be lawfully required to
devote nine hours to their labor
and eating purposes.
Secondly-Can a person employ
ed as Waterman in, about and
upon the surface workings of any
milling or mining grounds and
premises be obliged to work more
than eight hours out fevery "a
per day without additional compen-
sation therefor.
81 shall consider these two ques-
tions in their order.
''The question as | view it, of
whether time for luncheon shall be
deducted from the eight hours en-
ployment as prescribed in the above
entitled act. The whole question
can be answered by determination
of what the word employment
as used in the said act means. The
word employment as used in the
statute has a plain and definite
meaning Webster defines it as fol
lows: Employment: The act oil
employing or using; also the state
of being employed
However, the supreme court
passed upon this act when the con.
stitutionality of the same was raised
and sustained, and Judge Talbot
in discussing the same, speaking fol-
the court, said: We cannot say
that this law, limiting the period
of labor in underground mines tc
eight hours each day is not calcu.
lated to promote health; that it is
not adapted to the protection of the
health of a class of men who
work in underground mines.
Therefore, from Judge Talbot's
own words in passing upon the
eight-hour law he declares it to be
a law limiting the period of labor
in underground mines to eight
hours each day, Here it is plainly
seen that he constructs the word
employment to mean actual labor
am, therefore, of the opinion that
the eight-hour employment contem-
plated by the statute, means eight
hours of actual labor.
|. "The second question you ad.
vance resolves itself into whether

DIET FOR THE TUBERCULOSIS
Cannot Be Given, Is Shown to Be
Erroneous.

Many traditions with regard to the
feeding of tuberculosis patients and
with regard to food In general. are
given severe blows in series of ar
ticles published in the October num-
ber Of the Journal of Outdoor Life. the
official organ of the National Associ-
alton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis. DR. John r. Murlin OF
New York, assistant professor OF
physiology at the Cornell university
medical college, holds In an article en-
titled The Dynamic Principles of Nu-
triton" that a consumptive will gain
weight and do well on three pints OF
whole milk, eight ounces OF cream.
five ounces of milk sugar, six eggs and
two slices of buttered toast as ra-
ton for "a hours. The entire diet.
with the exception of the bread and
butter could be prepared In advance
and served for a cost Of about fifty
cents for the day. Miss Cecilia Flick
OF the Henry Phipps institute of Phil
adelphia also offers some sample diets
which the ordinary family can prepare
for even less than fifty cents a day.
LIT. DaNlQ II. Lyman OF WalllnBIOTQ,
Conn. and DR.. Paul B. Johnson of
Washington, D. c., both agree that
the ordinary person eats too much.
and that the old notions about stufilng
4 tuberculosis patient at all times and
seasons have been proven false. DR..
Lyman holds that eggs are not a nee
essary article of the consumptive's
diet and that a tuberculosis patient
should eat anything that agrees with
him that is nourishing. He thinks
that tuberculosis patient should eat
only little more than a person in
ordinary good health.
