he, i'm detail. explained exactly how the
duties of the supervisors should be per-
formed. He urged upon all supervisors
TO make their returns promptly and in
proper manner, as upon former oc-
casiOns many VcXatiOus delays were
caused oWinS TO neglect upon the part
OF supervisors. Mr.. Blodgett said, that
In his opinion. i'm cases where a mans
name appeared on the ballot twice, for
instance once as a Democratic noml- =
nee and once on Constitutional League
nomination papers, only one cross
should be made on the ballot, and not
two, that is not one opposite his names
placed in parallel lines.
He urged upon the supervisors not 10
participate i'm the count OF ballots, for
the participating OF so many persons
i'm the count tends towards creating err
rors. The duty Of the supervisors is 20
watch the count, but not TO count the
ballots themselves, and, I'm fact, they
have no right TO handle the ballots ar
ter they have once been east. In an
swer 10 "A question, Mr. Blodgett said
that the warden was compelled 10 take
the vote Of any man whose name was
on the check list, and the supreme
Court has so decided. Mr.. BlOdgett
also answered several other questions,
and then said that he hoped that every
election officer would forego the use OF
liquor during the hours that he was on
duty.
Chairman White then read a telegram
from Col. III. Martin Brown, candidate
for first representative, who was un-
avoidably detained in New York, and
he then stated that he hoped to see all
that were present either at the Repub-
lican state or city headquarters on the
night of the election. Perfect arrange
ments had been made for receiving the
returns and there would be an orchestra
to furnish music.
Senator Studley then offered a resolu-
tion of thanks TO the acting chairman
OF the city committee for the very sue
cessful gathering and for the amount Of
work he had put into the campaign.
This was adopted by a rising vote. with
much enthusiasm, and then the meet
ing was adjourned.

SALICYLIC ACID.

Salieyie acid Is an organic acid. 1t has
powerful antiseptie qualities, prevents the
souring of beer, also the development of
bacteria contained in fluids. Applied ex-

TAKEN lNWARDLY salicylic acid rap
idly lowers the bodily temperature, re-
duces the pulse rate, blood pressure, and
rapidity of respiration; some people being
peculiarly susceptible to Its action.
The Board of Health has condemned
all beers containing sallcylic acid. Among
those proved to be free from this adulter'
ant was the OLYMPIA BEER, sold by
Larry Dee Of the Hoffman Saloon.
