Will End Soon,

WiI IHo OooUs
New York, Nov. 15-The rumor that
the striking expressmen who returned
to work would be discharged If they
came wearing union buttons and
would not be reinstated proved to be
a false alarm.
Some of the drivers who returned to
one or two of the stables of the ex-
press companies in Jersey City were
told by some Of the minor officials
that they would have to take off their
buttons or quit They chose to quit,
but some of the officials higher up
countermanded that decision
The returning strikers not only wore
their union buttons in returning to
work in Manhattan, but some of them
also wore a union hat purchased for
the occasion. The police department
early was notified that the strike was
called off. and 2,27O police who were
on strike duty will be transferred to
normal duty.
The chauffeurs still are idle. They
struck in sympathy and then demand
ed a closed shop, going step higher
than the eXpressmen. who went back
to work on an open shop basis.
Mayor Gaynor said he had confer
ences with representatives of both
sides in the chauffeurs' strike and tha
conferences were going on which he
believed would result in ending the
chautfeurs' strike.

Ceremonial Weddings Taboo.

Though most entertainments in
London are getting more elaborate
and extravagant owing, as many
think, to the invasion of rich Ameri-
cans, weddings are simpler than ever.
It is no longer considered good form
to make lavish display at a wedding,
as It is well known that both the
queen and queen mother disapprove
of ostentation at such ceremonies.

CAN BE HAD by ALL.

The new State regulations for the
distribution of antitoxin by the State
Health Department have gone into ef-
feet and health workers throughout the
State are rejoicing that this great rem.
edy is now within the reach of all clti-
zens at miu mum cost. The new
rules, which have just been issued, per-
NIT the sale OF antitoxin to any citizen
OF Virginia at 40 cents per thousand
units, with small additional cost for
shipment and for the syringe. This
makes the cost of antitoxin for an ad-
vance case 81. SO or about 20 per cent.
of the former retail cost.
Under the new arrangement with the
manufacturers OF antitoxin, the State
Board OF Health will furnish to any
physician for the use OF any person
suffering from diphtheria, such antltoxln
he may require, provided he will be re-
sponsible for the purchase price. This
antitoxin is to be shipped as soon as
ordered and bill is to be rendered by
the manufacturer.
While these regulations place no re-
striction on the persons to whom anti
toxin may be sold, and hence make the
remedy available OH short notice, the
State Health Department, in bulletin
issued, urges the county boards OF
health to purchase stock. OF antltoxin
and to keep it on hand for the use OF
those who need it Immediately. In
urging this course, the State Health
Department offers to credit any local
board for any antitoxin ordered and
not used before the limit Of the socalled
guarantee date.
There is now no excuse for an out
break of diphtheria in the State, said
an official of the Health Department
in announcing the new regula-
tions. ''Antitoxin will cure diphtheria
if administered in time; it can be had
at a small cost by anyone who needs it;
and its use is followed by no ill effects.
We confidently expect great decline
in the amount OF diphtheria in the state
this winter, if our people will use the
means at their disposal. :"
