JANE ADDAMS'S STAND
FOR T. r. is CRITICISED

BAR HARBOR, Me, Aug. al
Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus
of Harvard, who is at his summer
home in Mount Desert, in an inter
view has expressed his disapproval
of the action of Miss Jane Adams in
seconding Roosevelt's nomination and
taking part in Progressive politics.
DR.. Eliot said:
Women have no proper share in
a political convention. Never before
in our history as a democratic nation
have we gone so far as to permit
women to nominate a candidate for
the Presidency. Miss Adams re-
ceived a great deal of popular ac-
claim when she seconded Mr.. Roose-
velt's nomination. 1t was a very
spectacular proceeding, but it was in
very bad taste"

WATER SUPPLY
is ORDERED ANALYZED

Health officer Joseph c. Sale. o.
Bloomfield, went to Pine Brook today
and secured samples of water from
the Passaic river. which VIII be sent
to the State Board of Health for
analysis. 1t is into the Passaic that
a stream flows from the Imhoff dis
posal plant in Madison and the water
from the river is used by Bloomfield
and other surrounding municipalities
for drinking purposes.
The ctZenS of the suburban towns
are in dread of disease resulting from
use of the water, as it may be pol
luted by the sewage plant. 1t S prob
able that the people of Bloomfield will
be advised by the Board Of Health to
boil the water before using it.
The board has decided moi to en-
ploy a nurse to work among the poor
of the town, as advised by the League
for Friendly Service, but this will
probably be done next summer.
