I was very sick and my life was nearly
spent 1 he doctors
stated that I would
never get well with-

health restorer. My husband says I
would have been in my grave ere this
if it had not been for your Vegetable

county auditor's act and were such even
before that according to a decision of the
supreme court.
In the meantime the auditor will re-
tain his authority In passing on financial
accounts of the district. This means that V t
several vouchers which he declined to ap- '
prove will not be paid out as demanded
