To-day,s Election.

There Is unusal interest in the cleo
lion today, Notwithstanding the apathy
manifested during the early part Of the
campaign. The county Offices, or some
ofthem, are being hotly contested for, but
the greatest interest centers In the CUB
ernatorial race. The race for senator-be-
tween Money and Longino-is not with
ont some excitement, but 1t Is conceded
that Money will carry the county. The
race for governor here Is sbetwsen Ward

Something must be done to arrest this
rapidly spreading scourge and done
quickly. Each individual must wake up.
each community must wake up. the Ma

action to stay the progress Of the plague.

able to cope with this putrid disease and
stay its rsvages is Brazilian Balm. For
10 years It's march has been n march OF

For every disease the good Father has
given n sure antidote II we can nnd ~.

in Brazilian Balm. IL destroys the Ca
tsrry microbe. IL clears the head Of foul
mucus; II makes the breath and dis
charges immune (nou-contaglous): re-
lieves the headsche and gradually heals

VERDICT STANDS
Appellate Court Pefuses to Set Aside JuUs
Award In ShihIey. .Gendron Case.

The appellate division of the supreme
court in an opinion has refused to set
aside the verdict OF $3.50 in the plaintiffs
favor in the case of Arneen A. shibley
against Deputy Sheriff John p. Gendron.
The court holds that as the evidence
was contradictory it was the jury's pro-
vince to pass upon It, there being no evil
dence that the jury was improperly in
fuenced or mistake the verdict cannot
be disturbed. AS to the rulings Of the
presiding Justice the court says he did
not err I'm them nor i'm his charge as the
burden OF proof was upon the burden
TO Justify under his plea. In regard TO
damages the court cannot say the award
was excessive. This being trespass de
bonis asportats the mere value of the
articles taken is not the measure of dam

There will be few changes in the an
nual report OF the state board Of agricul-
ture when 1t is issued for this year, chief

to the state.
The annual report Is being prepared by
the secretary and IL will contain the
more important papers read at the recent
farmers Institutes.
IL Is very probable that the next meet
ing OF the state board will be held jan

Because complaints reached the state
board OF barber examiners that certain OF
the shops were not kept neat and In a
sanitary condition, eleven OF the master
BARRIERS OF this city and Pawtucket were
sumoned TO appear yesterday and give
cause for their neglect
All had some sort OF excuses aud prom
ised TO do better In the future II given
another chance and this was given them
by the commissioners, with the informa-
ton that IL they did not put their shops
into the best possible condition and COM
ply with the laws provided by the state
board OF health that their licenses would
not be renewed.
This would be serious blow 10 bar
ber who would have 10 40 and pass an ex-
animation and pay sundry license fees In
order TO become re-instated again conse-
quently all the tonsorialists promised 10
do better at once.
AS a rule the complaints came in from
patrons OF the BARRIERS who knowing
what they were entitled 10 at the hands
OF the BARRIERS. complained when they
did not get e. One or these complainants
was a member OF the city council who
found that the barber where he was be-
ing shaved used Turkish towel a whole
day or more on all his customers In sue
cession and the councilman said the odor
OF Il was very offensive when 1t was used
on his face.
He said he was surprised on reading
copy OF the Barbeds Sanitary Laws TO
find the man was deliberately violating
rule T.. which provides that no less than
two clean towels shall be used and that
these towels shall not be used again un-
III Iaundered. He at once called the atten-
ton OF the board TO the matter.
Its small wonder that the uneducated
BARRIERS do funny things" said Secretary
Friend today, when you see the strange
things that professional men do. Why we
had barber from Warren come in here
with Doctors certificate that was fun
ny enough" -t
1--WE require applicants for licenses TO
have doctors certificate that they are
free from any contagious disease" he ex-
planned This fellow who came from
Warren had a letter from well known
physician that was something to this ef-
feet
~ have examined this fellow and find
him a nice young man, only little ner-
vous and I hope the commissioners will
be lenient with him for that reason Now
what do you think OF that?"
1--WE have n few more fellows TO exam
inc today" he said. In conclusion.
