Indexino Resolves and Laws

Clerk Charles T.. Sturtevant of the
secretary of States Office has during
mart of the time for the last three
years. when not engaged upon other
work, been indexing the Resolves OF
the Legislature, which had not had
anything of the kind been done since
1873. It was long and tedious job,
but has been done in perfect man
ner and tie card index is now complete
to date. That it was q big job is shown
by the fact that the Legislature OF
1915 passed 401 resolves. The most OF
the resolves are taken care of in the
index by single card. but some OF
them required as many as three. where
cross-indexing is done, enabling the
seeker to locate the wanted subject
under several titles. ..4,
Each card for each resolve shows
the year, the page Of the Journal, when
signed by the President OF the Senate,
Speaker of the House and the Gov
ernor. Other information all Of value
to tracing or finding a resolve and its
contents and purposes is inscribed on
the card and finally number which
locates exactly the whereabouts of the
original documents. It is a clever piece
of work and all who have had occa-
sion to use the system have testified to
the completeness and convenience Of
the work done by Mr.. Sturtevant.
& The laws shaves been indexed up to
the session Of 1915 and Mr.. Sturtevant
is just making a beginning on that,
which will bring all the legislative pa
pers to date in the index system.

The State Assessors

Hon. 3. G. McIntire of East Water
ford. chairman of the Board of State
Assessors, was at the office during
Tuesday attending to some routine
matters.
He will today "wednesday meet
the other members of the board.
Edwin Nj. Johnston Of Brownville and
John J. Dearborn of Newburg, at
Oakland and together with Clerk
Frank H. Sterling of Augusta trip
will be made up through the Somer-
set wild land section. They expect to
first visit Lake Moxie. then back to
The Forks and finally into the region
where the Boyd & Harvey Co. is OPP
Grating.
The object of the trip to this Sec
ton is to see in actual operation the
log haulers run by both steam and
gasoline, this being the only section
in the State where both are now used.
Beside that. general information about
the sections and the operations will
be obtained.
The Importance of the log hauler in
numbering operations has become
great and bids fair to increase with
every year Of it's use. The machines
can be Ased at profit in the woods
where horses cannot be worked. There
are also hauls where horses cannot do

Automobile Registration

The registration of automobiles Is stead
lily going on and the numbers are climb
ing higher and higher. The total of truck
numbers issued at the close of business
Tuesday was about 5s7 while the general
registration was about $3.50.
The automobile department of the sec
rotary of States office has this year
adopted ruling which will safeguard the
interests of all, the owner, the driver and
the State. Last year it was the custom
if an auto owner lost a plate, on applica-
ton to issue another plate of the same
number, or in case of delay, to give him
a certificate of application, so that he
need not be obliged to lay up his car. :
Automobile Clerk Harold Davis states
that it was demonstrated to the satisfac-
ton of the department that this method
allowed the fraudulent use of plates, even
to the extent of two men having two
autos but running both under one set OF
plate. 1t was determined if possible to
stop this and similar practices. SO it has
been decided and adjudged and is now in
practice that,
If a person loses a plate he or she is
instructed to ship the remaining plate at
once to the automobile department at
the State House. and an entirely new
registration process is gone through with
This puts the old number entirely out
of circulation, all taking or cheating be-
ing eliminated by the simple process
mentioned The original way involved an
expense of IS cents: the new way costs
lust the same, and all hands are better
protected and in the end will be better
satisfied.

of the decrease Of the number of sheep
on the farms of Maine and Commits
sioner of Agriculture Guptil was asked
if he thought the depreciation of dogs
on the fioeks was one of the causes
The commissioner. was inclined, in
fact was positive, that dogs were a
small factor in the cause Of the de-
crease and cited us to the State treas
urer for comparison of the amount
Of the dog tax and the amount spent
in paying damages caused by dogs.
State Treasurer E. r. Newbert and
Chief Clerk Warren Trask at once
agreed with Commissioner Guptil and
produced the figures as follows to back
up the opinion:
In 1914, the dog tax amounted to
s35,493 and the expense of the damage
done was $14,047.11. In 1915 the tax was

FOOD FACTS
What An M. .. Learned.
4 prominent physician down

A prominent physician down in
George went through a food expert
ence which he makes public:
1T was my own experience that
first led me to advocate Grape Nuts
food; and I also know from having
prescribed it to convalescents and
other weak patients that this food is
a wonderful rebuilder and restorer OF
nerve and brain tissue, as we'll as
muscle. 1t improves the digestion and
patients gain. just as 1 did in strength
and weight, very rapidly.
Il was in such a low state that
I had to give up my work entirely
and go to the mountains, but two
months there did not improve me; in
fact was not quite as we'll as when 1
me and it became plain that must
change.
Il began to use Grape Nuts and in
two weeks I could walk a mile, and in
five weeks returned to my home and
practice. taking up hard work again.
Since that time l have felt as we'll and
strong as l ever did in my life.
LAS a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers l consider it a duty to
make these facts public.''

the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body will work wonders.
