Nov. 4. -Members ot the stata board of control blame Attorney Gentral: Crawford, for the predicament in which the state Institutions will be In case the court should hold that the ' eight hour law fpplles -to the employee of the Institutions. They declare this Is because the attorney general won't stay "pUt" in his opinions, and they cannot' tell on what to-, depend. - '. In November of laatiyear; when the question of whether the law, which had just been passed by the initiative, ap plied to employes of state Institutions was being discussed, State Treasurer ' Kay, took th,e matter up with the attor 1 net general and asked for an opinion. The opinion was that the law did-not ppiy to laoor except wnichVfouM be .contracted. .; ? v'r'.. ; ;'i i .v Acosptsdths .Opmlon;;.:- 'I obtained this opinion as a, guide in determining the amount of. appropria tions needed for the maintenance of the various) institutions," eatd State .Tress urer Kay today. "If , the law ,i should apply to institution employesvlttv would take a ,' larger appropriation ' " to ' '.Tun them than under the present system, When the attorney general held 'that the law. did not apply to them. I accept 1 ed that view, tut did the other members 1 of the board, and we estimated the in stitution maintenance needs accord ' Ingly." . , That opinion of the attorney general I was given November . 12 of last year. ' It says:-" " "No section would seem to Indicate i that the persons employed by the state I In taking care of the patients at the Insane asylum, ' and the guards at ' the penitentiary, or that class of employes in other Institutions, were Intended to be Included In the bill, unless it Is ec Uon 4." The opinion quotes section and defines the meaning of . the word "laborer," and then continues: "Said section 4 also provides that 'whero labor Is employed, either direct ly ox through another, as a contractor,' 'indicating that the labor must be of the 'kind which could be contracted, .and all other sections of the bill seem to carry the tame idea, and the caring for pa tients at the asylum, etc., is never done by contract Therefore, it is my opinion it was not Intended to cover that class of employes. : 'fiSoW-Ottisr Opinions. Since that j opinion was given the attorney general has rendered six other opinion on' various questions involved In the law. until in tne last one, ren dered to Labor Commissioner O. P. Hoff on September 11 of this year, he ap pears to have taken an entirely different view to the one given Mr. Kay in the first place. "Any .ersoo employed, by an institu tlca-j ragenti of, the state," says the attorney gtnerai in nm laiest opinion, referring to .persons performing labor, "must be considered as being employed by the state, The act clearly dntends to Include persons, directly em cloved by the state or any of Its agen cies, as well as persons employed .by a contractor uhdef , contract: to, -perform work, for the state." The result of these ' diversified opin Ion is. that no appropriations were made for the state institutions based on a strictly., eight lour day, limited to six days in the week, and now the labor commissioner, following the attorney general's latest opinion, has caused the arrest ef Dr. Stelneri superintendent of the insane asylum, to test in the courts the question of whether the law applies to the institutions. If the courts hold that it-does, the members of the board declare that a deficiency will confront each institution. LIlllUAINS SCHOO L ROAD DtSTRiC Albany Has Highest Ftecqrd .

' The commissioner Informed Mr. Bin nott that the present disposition of the department waa not to open the lands to entry under the lottery, plan. Mr. Slnnott also urged upon the commis sioner that a preference right of entry be given . to those . who have heretofore filed application for homestead entry In the Deschutes and Paulina forests under the act of June 11, 1806, advancing the argument that many such applicants, relying on the act, have been to -great expense In making their applications. He informed the commissioner that a num ber of the applicants had sold their fanhs elsewhere and taken their fami lies and teamed Into the Deschutes and Paulina country, . with' the expectation of securing homesteads, that most of the applicants were bona fide farmers. inured to pioneer life, and that a great injustice would . be done them 1' ' they i were not given a preference right in opening the reserves. -The department has not yet come to I any conclusion as to what It will do la ; the matter of giving preference, but i before acting will call upon the forestry i department to ascertain tne numoer ana status of the applications. Commission er Tallman doubts the legal right of the department to recognise, any pref erence right except on applications ai readlWtcdt';i?ss ' ConaTeiite-SinnWtvWtVftT'tli commissioner . the Strong equitable claims of the applicants already on the grounds, arguing that they were Invit ed by the- aot of 1906 to make appli cations for homestead entry In the forest reserves.' and that the 1 euose- quent elimination of the ' landa was proof of the original merit or tne appli cations, and saying that the applications should not be recognised on the strength of the equitable maxim that "Equity considers that as done which ought to have been done." -,-r .

"I am 53 years of age, and from boyhood up to about the year 1900 ,1 was; strong arid well, could eat any kind of food day or night, slept sound ly; and it was said that I had no nerves. I began to suffer from indigestion and was getting sleepless and nervous, j I took medicine, kept at work, and stuck to my coffee the harm of it was never suggested to me. "One morning just after dressing I collapsed, and for six weeks I was very, very sick. But I pulled through. After another rest I did not improve, but became worse. My heart got very bad, so weak at times that I would faint. I also suffered from constipation. . ?.-.: "In? February' '1008, I was obliged to Resign my position as manager. "Finally in July, 1911, I came to San Francisco to consult the besij. heart and nerve specialist.to be found, and was directed to Dr. . He made a thorough examination and several blood tests. He told ma that the trouble was with my heart and nerves brought about by coffee; that the caffeine contained in coffee was poison to me; and to stop the use of coffee absolutely and immediately. Since that time I have not tasted one drop of coffee. When I stopped coffee, I thought, what shall I drink. Milk has at tendency to constipate me; cold water' is all right in its place, but it doesn't belong on the breakfast table. So I concluded to try Postum. It is delicious with cream and sugar. I drink it whenever I can find it, and! I enjoy it as well as I once did coffee. ( - "My normal weight was about 170 lbs. and I had been as low as 133. In three weeks I was greatly improved; in six months I began to feel like my old self, and now, ten months after I stopped coffee, I am about well, and weigh 178 lbs. I have not been constipated once not once! My Stomach seems as good as ever; I sleep well, feel well, and I am welL "I am sure my good doctor's advice, 'stop coffee,' is the secret of my . improvement. "Of course I 'have it in for coffee, and why shouldn't I? See what It cost me, my health, position and thousands of dollars. "Now in conclusion, you are at liberty to use my name anyway you wish. I enclose names of my doctors. My only object is to help other af flicted persons. I don't want any compensation, and would not accept any." .. . LARAMIE MAYER, ' . 703 Jackson St Oakland, Calif.
