Possibly Governor Yates mat possess vigor necessary to with- ' stand the strain he is having to endure t in giving audience day after day, and £"» ?t. during long hours each day, to the vast number of persons who visit him for ithe purpose of securing appointment to : official position for themselves or their |> friends, but it will test his strength to the extreme, as it would that of any fik .. person undertaking the task, no matter how vigorous he might be. It is strain which the governor of the state should not be subjected to and a remedy will have to be provided if the evil, if it may be termed an evil, continues to grow in the future in the same propor tion that it has grown daring the past decade. It may be that the number of office- seekers who importune |he governor for position is not greater now than it was in former years, in proportion to the population of the state and the num ber of positions to be filled, yet it so. But, if the increase iB due only to Increased population and the many ad ditional positions that have resulted from the increased population, it will continue to grow as the state grows in age and the numbers of its residents and a means should be provided to re- Uew future governors from the im- possible task they are destined to en­ counter. ^ It is commendable in the governor tfaat he wants to treat all applicants : that he ie willing to give all who asdkit a personal interview, and to per- sue and weigh their applications and in­ dorsements, but to do so he must give ' -V' more W tHjflHi to than of right the governor of a state should have to give. There ar» mattears of vifttl importance in admii^Hf tering the albdrH of a state of over millions of people which, if they oottld have tiie attention they should have, would take all of the time, the best thought slid consideration of the chief esecnfcive »nd every hour of his tiiuw, aiiu nil of the energy ihat lie is reviuktHl to devote to applicants for official posi­ tions must be given at the sacrifice of more important duties. The welfare of the state, as well as a just consideration for the comfort and health of the gover­ nor, make it imperative that he should be relieved of some of the strain which under present conditions is put upon him in the attention he is required to give to office-seekers, PROBATE NEWS IMS 00 S00 425 00 Proof of Frank J.

I inherited Eczema, as my mother suffered for years with an incurable form, and I had been afflicted with it from childhood to a mild extent It had annoyed me for several years dur­ ing the summer months. In April, 1900, the affliction was very pronounced. By the mictdle of May I was nearly incapac­ itated for business. • In June I suffered to such an extent that I could get no rest under any conditions, and the tor­ ture was undermining my nervous sys­ tem and reducing physical forces to an alarming extent, and I cannot describe my sufferings. I had employed the best i&edical skill obtainable, but with no re­ lief until I began taking Dr. Tallerday's Fruit Juice. Within three days my suf­ fering began to subside and within three weebs I was much better than I had been during the summer months for years. The continued use of this medi­ cine completely cured me, removing ev­ ery sjmptom of the disease. Have rec­ ommended it to others for different blood diseases and all have been bene­ fited by its use. I make this statement purely upon the merits of this remedy, and will be glad to answer any inquiries any sufferer wishes to ask me, if they will enclose stamp for reply. E. J. Munn.
