 Probate judges receive $500 per annun for road and ex officio services, eommis- sions on all licenses and mortgage tax collected for the state and counties. and fees for all other services rendered.

 The counties pay tens of thousands of dollars annually for clerks, sheriff s witness and jurors fees, besides the thousands of dollars costs paid by liti- gants.
 Then there are mayors courts and hun dreds of justice courts, in which fees and costs are collected.
 Some counties have a circuit. chancery law and equity, probate and county court
 The stationery and expenses of thr courts cost the counties thousands oi dollars.
 The judiciary system of Alabama costs the taxpayers and litigants several mil lions of dollars annually. which Is a large amount to pay for the administra- ton of justice by state with a popula- tion of 2,13S093.
 These figures do not include the $13o,- 00u that the state pays annually for feeding prisoners and the several thou sands of dollars paid for the removal of prisoners which are parts of the admin istration of the criminal law.
 The reformation and reorganization of the judiciary system should receive the careful attention and consideration of the next legislature.

NEW BANKS MUST
 BEGIN BUSINESS
 LAWFUL COIN
Reserve Board Announces That Lawful Money Must Be Used in Making the
 Transfer of Deposits

Washington. October 2s.-The federal reserve board tonight notified all banks that are members of the new system that gold or lawful money must be used in making the transfer of reserve deposits from the present banks to the federal reserve banks. This step Is de- signed to fill the vaults of the 1e re- serve banks with money as soon as the institutions are opened November Is and will permit the ready issue of federal reserve notes to member banks
 The board announced also that this order would apply to subscriptions to be made to the capital stock of reserve banks by member institutions, the first installment of which is due November 2. The transfer of reserves will begin after Secretary McAdoo formally has announced that the 12 banks have been opened.
 The federal reserve appealed to the patriotic spirit of all member banks" to do their utmost in facilitating the difficult work of inaugurating the new system No composition has yet been made showing the exact amount of money to be transferred
 The boards announcement follows in mart.

Boards Announcement

Boards Announcement
 ''The Secretary of the Treasury hay ing advised the federal reserve board that formal notice of the establish ment of the several federal reserve banks will be given to all member hanks on November 16, it is necessary that arrangements be made now for the transfer of required reserves by the member banks to their respective fed eral reserve banks on that date. It Is the desire of the board to arrange for the actual physical transfer of the first installment in such manner as to create the least possible disturbance to business conditions in any city or section.
 Tt is. of course. clear that If the banks in nonreserve cities undertake e to make the necessary deposit of re- serves with their federal reserve bank by remitting checks or drafts on banks in reserve cities (which checks or drafts can be received by the federal re- serve bank for collection only) there may result an unnecessarily heavy withdrawal of funds from the banks in reserve cities. In the same manner, if banks in reserve cities make remit tances of checks or drafts on banks in central reserve cities, an unnecessary burden may be placed upon the latter
 The deposits of reserves with fed eral reserve banks must be made in gold or lawful money, and in order that the withdrawal of funds from the vaults of members may be as nearly uniform as possible and so distributed as to relieve any particular section or sections of unnecessary burden, the federal reserve board urges all banks to ship from their own vaults gold or lawful money. The federal reserve banks have been authorized to assume and pay the express charges involved in making such shipments.
 Applies to Payments
 "The foregoing suggestions also ap- ply to payments on account of the first installment of capital stock due No- vember g.
 "In view of the advantage to be de- rived from the deposits of gold, which may be used as reserve for federal re- serve notes, it Is strongly urged by tho board that deposits of reserves in the federal reserve banks be made, so far as practical, in gold or gold certifi- cates.
 Due notice of the establishment of the federal reserve banks on Novem- Der 16 will be sent each member bank by the Secretary of the Treasury and no transfer of reserve can be made un- til this is done.
 Members of banks of large resources will greatly facilitate the physical work of counting reserve money if they will send gold certificates in as large denominations as possible or clearing house orders calling for gold certificates or gold already counted by the clearing houses"

RELIGIOUS
SERVICE At FARM
Board of Commissioners to
Appropriate for Expenses
of Ministers.

County commissioners went on rec
ord today as favoring regular church
services every two weeks at the Poor
Farm and announced that they will
appropriate enough money for tho
coming year to pay the expense Of
having Richmond minister and two
singers there bi-weekly.
This action was taken after severe
criticism from the members of the
Richmond Ministerial association when
the commissioners, on the advance of
the 1913 county attorney refused to
REIMBURSE Superintendent Brumfiel
for the expense of holding the SER
vices.
I'VE cannot legally refund the mon
ey which Mr.. Brumfiel paid out for
the transportation of a minister and
two singers every two weeks" Albert
Anderson, commissioner from the east
ern district said 1--WE will not allow
the bi-weekly services to be discontin-
ued because of an expense of ninety
cents every two weeks. We have con-
suited Attorney Hoelscher as to ap-
propriating enough for the year to
pay the future expenses which are in
Cured in holding the services"
Following a short meeting the COM
missioners went to the poor farm to
arrange with Mr.. Brumfiel some way
of repaying him.
The question of reimbursing the su-
perintendent arose several months ago
when he presented a claim for the
money and showed receipts from the
ministers whose expenses he had paid
He was told at the time that he should
present the receipts at least every
month and the money he expended for
religious services would be returned
to him.
The ministerial association then
took action censuring the commission
ers for not refunding the money ex-
pended for religious services. 1t was
done with the belief that the commits
sioners were opposed to holding SER
vices or opposed to paying for the
transportation of the ministers, while
in reality the action was taken in &C
cordance with the law and with the
county attorneys opinion.
The only expenses each service are
thirty cents round trip tickets for
three persons. This amounts to less
than s25 year.

with their meals for awhile and note
results. Here is a good test worth
trying. First weigh yourself and
measure yourself. Then take SargoI
one tablet with every meal for
two weeks. Then weigh and measure
again. II isn't a question OF how you
look or feel or what your friends saw
and think. The scales and the tame
measure will tell their own story. and
most any thin man or woman can
easily add from FIVE to eight pounds in
the arst fourteen days by following
this simple direction. And best of all.
the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not OF itself make fat.
but mixing with your food, It turns
the fats, sugars and starches Of what
you have eaten. into rich, ripe IA.
producing nourishment for the tissues
of the blood-prepares it in an easily
assimilated form which the blood can
ready accept. All this nourishment
now passes from your body as waste.
But Sargol stops the waste and does II
