union five children were born, three
boys, Harry, Fred and Herman, being
left to mourn her death. One boy,
Herbert, and daughter, Gertrude, died
sometime ago and passed to the other
shore to wait for mother.
In 1901 Mr.. and Mrs. Shahan moved
to Oklahoma where she was converted
in 1902, uniting with the Baptist
church living "a consecrated Christian
life. They moved to Tucumcari about
8 years ago, where she made friends
of all with whom she came in con-
tact, for all appreciated the genuine
worth of her true, sweet Christian
character, her quiet happy home life,
her devotion to husband, gentle, yet

Upon this point the attorney gen.

State Tax Commission,
Santa Fe. New Mexico.
Gentlemen: | am In receipt of your
recent letter, requesting construction
OF Section G, Chapter so, Laws OF 1917,
the same being AN Act Relating TO
Delinquent Taxes"
The section referred to provides
that 8 per centum Of the amount Of
tax penalty and costs be included In
the judgment, and that said 5 per
centum. when collected. shall be paid
over to the county treasurer and Gov.
cred into the court fund Of the coun.
ty. The section further provides that
whenever special counsel shall be EN-.
ployed to conduct proceedings In such
case. such 5 per centum shall be paid
to such special counsel by order Of
the court, upon warrant drawn against
such court fund, and shall constitute
the compensation for such special
counsel.
In my opinion. the 5 per centum re.
ferred to constitutes all OF the compen.
sation TO which such special counsel Is
entitled. Furthermore. ! am OF the
opinion that, unless such 5 per centum
is actually collected and paid into
the court fund, as provided In the act,
the same shall not be available TO
such special counsel. In other words,
this 5 per centum cannot be paid to
the special counse! out of the court
fund unless the same has been col.

Therefore if you wish to preserve your
youthful vim, vigor and vitality to a
ripe old age, you must supply the de-
fciency Of Phosphates lacking in your
food by using Argo-Phosphate, the
form Of Phosphates most easily as
simulated.
NOTICE: Argo-Phosphatc which
is recommended and prescribed by the
physicians in all enemic cases, is not u
secret or patent medicine, but one that
is sold and recommended by well
known druggists everywhere, and the
physicians are daily subscribing the
constituents contained in it. Being
entirely unlike many other Phosphates
it Is easily assimilated and will be
found effective in the treatment of in
digestion and stomach troubles, as well
as for care worn, nervous conditions.
The manufactures of Argo-Phosphate
will forfeit to any charitable institu-
ton 100000 if they cannot treat any
man or woman under SO who lacks
Phosphates and increase their strength
and endurance from 100 per cent, to
300 per cent or more in one months

One OF the strong objections raised
by president Ban Johnson to the sug-
gestion that a schedule OF 154 games
be compressed into five or five and
one half months IS that Il would
make necessary numerous double

fans the belief that they are not get

some OF the minor leagues have
played the double header card 10 the
limit and owe much OF their financial
trouble 10 that fact"
The National and American leagues
have IN the past rather sharply d.
vided IN policy on the double header
proposition. Many times last season
games were postponed for slight ex-
cuse in the National for the apparent
purpose OF making double headers
