commissioners Must Submit Budget.


That under the law County Com
mssioners must adopt budget sys-
TEN from which they shall figure the
probable expense of running county
affairs and base the tax levy on the
hgures thus obtained, is the opinion
OF Attorney General Thatcher in a
communication addressed to the State
Tax Commission
The Attorney-General says the law
requires that the budget be made up
between the first Monday in January
and the first Monday of March OF each
year. The probable expenditures shall
be itemized and aggregated. If, after
the assessments are equalized in No
vember, it is found that the tax rate
established in March will bring in
more than the required amount of
revenue to conduct the affairs of the
county, the Attorney-General holds
that the law makes it mandatory on
the part of the County Commissioners
to reduce the rate correspondingly.
The tax rate, the Attorney General
says, should be fixed high enough
however, to cover any deficiency oc-
casioned by possible delinquent tax
payments.
The law placing counties under the
budget system on which the Attorney
General bases his conclusions, has
been on the statute books since 1891.

FRANCE NOW TURNS
 TABLES 0N GERMANY

The invasion of Alsace-Lorraine by French troops a few days ago was an event of tremendous importance in the history of the present struggle be- tween the nations of Europe, and now there is every possibility that it is the beginning of movement that will result in France once more coming into possession of that section which for nearly half century, has paid an enforced allegiance to Germany while it was wholly French in senti- ment.
 For forty-three years not a French soldier has set foot on the soil Of Alsace-Lorraine. Like gall and worm wood tn eFrench people have been in the possession of this fertile territory by her arch enemy. More bitter still has it been to the inhabitants of the conquered province to be forced to remain an integral part of govern ment which was hateful to it. The court martial of German officers, re- sulting in their acquittal on the charge of brutality to civilians of that prov ince, in recent history, and illustrates forcibly the feeling that still exists between the people of Germany as a whole and those of Alsace-Lorraine.
 Unless all signs fail, the tables are now turned. France lost her rich provinces of Alsace and Lorraine as the result of war of aggression on her part which was wholly unjusti- liable and lacked the support of en- frightened public opinion throughout the civilized world. She is now in a fair way to regain them because her

FRENCH REPULSE GERMAN
 CAVALRY

BRUSSELS, Aug. 11.-Reports have reached here this morning from many directions of the retreat of the Ger man cavalry before the large French forces which are said already to have cleared considerable territory. The locality of che fighting is not revealed.
 In official circles here it is asserted there has been no further battle in the vicinity of Liege or in the town itself No big engagement between the allied forces and German troops is expected on Belgian soil until the French and Belgian combined forces take the offensive.
 It is asserted here that after two hundred German soldiers occupied a farm at Socion near Pepinster in the province of Liege, they were fired upon by three workmen. The village was then given over to pillage by the German troops and the three workmen were shot by firing squad.

HOW ID LIVE
 0NE HUNDRED YEARS
BOOK BY EUGENE CHRIS THAN, F. S. D.

| Eugene Christian, F. s. D., the worlds greatest Food Scientist, has just published new book called How to Live 100 Years"
 This book tells you what to eat according to your age, your work and the time of the year. It teaches you how to select, how to combine and so as to establish perfect digestion and assimilation of food and perfect elimination of waste. In other words, 1t teaches you how to cure all stomach and intestinal disorders by removing their causes, which is wrong eating.
 If you have indigestion, gas, fermen- tation, sour stomach or any such dis orders after meal, this book tells you how to put the remedy on your table at the next meal.
 Dr. Christian shows that all animals how to proportion your food at meals except man live about eight times as long as it takes them to get their growth. If man should do this he would live nearly 200 years; but civi- lized man dies at the average age of 39. He begins to lose his teeth. his eyes and his hair, and drops into his grave only few years after he is grown.
 Dr. Christian shows that 22 per cent of all the human beings born into the world die before they are one year old. Twenty-Five per cent more die before their fifth birthday, ana more than half of the human race die before they are twenty-five.
 All other animals on the globe live eight times as long as it takes them to get their growth. Man breathes the same air, drinks the same water, lives under the same sunshine, but differs from his brother animals only in his eating, therefore Dr. Christian shows conclusively that this appalling discrepancy must be on account of his eating habits and he has proved that his theory is true by curing over 23,OOO people within the past ten years by tdaching them what to eat and how to eat. How to Live 100 Years, gives the secret of his methods.
 This book does not disarrange or upset the family table It teaches the housewife what foods the meal should be composed of, so as to make them harmonious and perfectly 1 digestible and healthy.
 This book is beautifully bound in 1 velum, and gold lettered. Send one dollar to Dr. Eugene Christian, 213 West 79th Street, New York City, and you will receive this life-saving book | by return mail, and if it is not worth ] it's weight in gold your money will be | refunded to you.

OUR ARMY AND NAVY

Contracts have been assigned for three new dreadnaughts for theUnited Stats navy. These new instruments Of warefare will be forty-one feet long CT and 4500 tons greater displacement than any now in the United States service. It may be that before Eur ope gets through that the question ot what country has the greatest navy will be settled, as our chances for first place are very good. About the same the contracts were let for the new dreadnaughts, Major General Leonard Wood submitted his annual report to the secretary of war. ItI shows that the actual strength of the army is 4,306 officers and 80,00O en- listed men scattered over the world. The General declares that to main tain the force in the United States for even a small expedition in police work of the Department that 1t is vit- ally important that the regular army be substantially increased.

ancient enemy had blindly embarked upon the same sort of warfare.
 Of course, it would be idle to specu- late upon the outcome of a war which has hardly begun; but we can not lose sight of the fact that Germany not only Is fighting against the strongest coalition that Europe ever knew fighterally with her back to the wall but that she has the unpopular side. cynical assertion that God Is always on the side of the strongest artillery, may be taken with a grain of salt, but certain it is that where the strongest artillery is supported by the great weight of the public senti- ment of the world, the combination is one that Is hard to overcome.
 If Germany should lose, her rackon- ing will be staggering one-indeed she will be fortunate if nothing worse than the loss of Alsace-Lorraine to France should befall her.

B|SBEE MINES STILL
 PAYING GOOD WAGES

BISBEE, Aug. 11.-After a confer ence of the managers of the mining enterprises in Bisbee yesterday it was determined on what basis copper pro- duction will be continued in this dis trict. Much alarm has been felt be- cause of the total shutdown of the mining enterprises in Montana and the word from the Globe District that the Miami and Inspiration would cut their forces and production 50 per cent hence the action of the Bisbee com panies has been received with much satisfaction.
 There will be reduction of 10 per cent in the wages oA all men working on day scale.
 The Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company will lay off between 400 and 800 men as previously an- nounced.
 The Shattuck Arizona Copper con- pany will lay off about 15O men. This company has not reached a decision at this time concerning a change Tn wages.
 Analysis of the above announcement brings into prominence the fact that In spite of the wage reduction of 10 per cent, the Bisbee mines will pay 
 in accordance with higher scale than that prevailing in other big mines thru out the country. In other words, the Bisbee miner will now receive $3.6O a day, whereas, the Butte miner was paid only $3.50 day before the un- settlement of the copper market by reason of the European crisis.
 It was the opinion of the Warren District mining officials without ex- ception that the present situation is one that is going to rally. It was their unanimous verdict that they will be counter-balanced by the exercise of frugality by citizens of the district while the changed conditions prevail.
 Every step taken by the local min- Ing officials was decided upon with the sole view of protecting the best interests of the district at the pres ent time and preparing in a whole some manner for the return of boom times.

BELGIANS HOLD STRATEGIC
 POINTS


 LONDON, Aug. Messages from Belgian general staff assert that the occupation of the town of Liege by the German troops had not the slightest influence on the strategic situation. It is declared that as long as the ring forts around Liege are intact, which is still the case, then guns command the three principal roads by which the Germans can advance. Thus it is i'm possible for the Germans to receive supplies or ammunition, and it is re- ported that they are without much of eihter The same authorities state that the German assertion of the cap- tuer of 4,G00 Belgian prisoners is base less.

WRECKAGE OF BRITISH
 WARSH|P RECOVERED

SAN FRANSISCO, Cal, Aug 12.- More wreckage from the British ves- sel which is established to have been man of war was cast up by the tide. Two white wooden cabin doors bearing brass plates marked "Navi- gation Officer" and Gunner" were cast up. All the woodwork is in good condition and could not have been long in the salt water. There is nothing to indicate the identity of the vessels.
 The British cruiser Rainbow which left here Saturday was sighted yes terday off Point Reyes. The only other British warships known to be in Pacific coast waters are the sloops of war Algerine and Shearwater.
 A critical examination of the wreck age showed beyond question that it was splintered, having been torn loose by an explosion. A German cruiser, answering the description of the Leip- zig or Nuremburg was sighted out side the Golden Gate and is standing off. The presence is considered sig nificant on account of the finding of the British warship flotsam.
 A process of elimination would in- dicate that the Shearwater is the British vessel in question.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. H. An appeal was recently made by the Chinese government to the United States to maintain her neutrality but as yet it is unacted upon.
 The state department officials de nied the report that Ambassador Guth- rie at Tokio had presented a note to the Japanese government dealing with the possible developments involving Japanese activity in China. It indicar ed, however, that Ambassador Guthrie is making informal inquiries to learn the intention of the Japanese govern ment with respect to the European war. It is considered very likely that if Japan on behalf of her ally, Great Britain, participates in an attack on the German colony of Tsing Tau, for nal effort will be made by the United

COTTON GROWERS ASK FUR
 PROTECTION AGAINST WAR TALK

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 12.-As the largest cotton market on the Ameri- can continent, Memphis is keenly in- terested in the probable effect of the great European war on trade condi- tions in this country. This interest is quickened by the fact that the Cotton States Merchants Association, an or ganization of over 5000 merchants of the south, is to meet in Memphis, Aug. Is to 20 inclusive.
 At this convention it is more than likely that unanimous request, almost to a demand, will be made up in the federal government that immediate steps be taken to protect the cotton crop against possi- bel i'll effects from the war.

 Under this plan the cotton would be gathered, stored in a bonded ware house and negotiable certificate is- sued. The cotton would be held until conditions in Europe warranted a 12 cent price. The money derived from the sale would be used to retire the certificates.
 The merchants are heartily in favor of the plan. Over 2500 of them are already registered to attend the big Memphis convention. The association is the first great interstate organiza- tion of merchants to be launched in this country.

 The danger of melting revolution aries in China through the activities of the Japanese and other foreign troops is known to be a matter of serious concern to the Picking government, which is understood to be pressing the United States through her minister here for some helpful action.
 For some days there has been a dis position in administration circles to regard the situation in the far east as not pressing, as it is considered un- likely that Germany will take the of fensive because of the predominance of English. French and Jap warships. The reported intention of Japan to at- tack Tsing Tau, however, may in- fluence the American governments de- cision on the plan of action.
