WILL 60 AFTER
 ALL THE SETTLERS Anti Tuberculosis Society to Urge Council to Strict
 ly Enforce Law.
OFFICER ELECTED
Plan to Establish Free Clinic Here For Tubercular Patients
 Past Years Work.

The establishment of a free clinic and laboratory for persons sufferins from or threatened with tuberculosis will result within the next few weeks through plan that has been laid by the Jefferson County AntiTubercu- losis Society if the Jefferson County Levying Court and the City Council render financial assistance. A com committee was named yesterday con- sisting of City Physician w. T. Lowe, Alderman Rudolph Wolff and Mrs. John L. Mills to urge all appropria- tion from both the Levying Court and the. Council foT that purpose. The ,dea is to have corps of physicians employed to care for unfcrtunates who are suffering from the disease and who are not able to secure med- ical attention. A campaign of eduea tion is also to be waged in connec- tion with the clinic, to instruct pa- tients how to live and how to enjoy the fresh air in their own homes, even while sleeping.
 At the request of Alderman Ru- dolph Wolff, who made talk on tho ill effects of eXpectoraticn on side walks and in public places, motion was carried calling on the City Coun- cil to issue strict instructions that the ca-enforce the anti-spitting or dnance and that no persons, who violate the law, escape punishment. s. F. Rosenberg also spoke against the filthy habit and favored the en- corcement of the law governing such public nuisances. Alderman Wolff declared that Police Judge J. R Stewart had informed him that he would enforle the anti-spitting ordi- nance to the Letter, if offenders were brought into his court A persona: appeal will be made to the Council for an immediate campaign agains; "spitters" by the police.
 The Tuberculosis Society also adopted a resolution commenting the State Railroad Commission for it's re- cent order, removing public drinking sups from all railroad trains and also approve the action of the School Board in eliminating the public drink ing cup from the city schools.
 The annual report of Rabbi Ephraim Frisch, secretary, who retired froE' the office owing to his intended re-
 noval from the city, showed that the Society had accomplished much good work during the past year, especially ill the sale of Red Cross stamps and in it's anti-spitting campaign here. Don't Spit" placards in street cars and public buildings have accom- pl',sbed much good.
 County Judge c. M. Philpot and Mrs. J. w. Crawford, president of tho Ladies Hospital Association, were among those present and displayed enthusiasm in the work of the So ciety. Rabbi Frisch's annual report showed the Society to be in good fi- nancial condition, there being nearly $20O in the treasury. Sheriff Edgar Brewster was reelected president, Mrs. John l.. Mills, treasurer, and Meyer Solmson, secretary for the en- sung year. .s,.. The Society passed a resolution complimenting Rabbi F'risch, who was he organizer of the; Society and who

 Secretary's Report.
 The report of Secretary T'risch was submitted and approved as follows: To the Officers and Members of the
 Anti-Tuberculosis Society Of Jef- lCrson County:
 Herewith present my report as Secretary for the period since the fol ndation of the Society in Decem- Der 1910 up to the present day.
 The Anti-Tuberculos' Society of ,Jeffe son County was established as ;he result of the inspiration of the Tuberculosis Exhibit held in Pine Bluff in the Spring of 1910 by the Ma tional Tuberculosis Association.

 The only income of the Society having been thus far receipts from the sale of Red Cross Seals in De- cenbcr and very small sum from membership dues, the Society had t0 limit it's efforts at the. beginning to 1U,, useful work along those lines, con- sidering ,tc small means.

Colonel Watterson's Ultimatum.

That is Colonel Wstterson's last
word upon Governor Woodrow Viii

ton. II Ia forceful, straightforward
and earnest. II surely means that
the most potent democrat of the
south and one OF the most powerful
in the United States will not support
the New Jersey governor II he be-
comes the democratic nominee for
the presidency. What effect is this
going to have upon DIR. Wilson's can
didacy for the nomination? It has
been admitted in most quarters that
his spectacular breach with his old
friend, Colonel Harvey, has, in itself
hurt no more than helped Wilson.
Its stage effect is strong. But here

the effect Of the Watterson opposi-
ton? VIII they elect to hazard their
chances OF success upon a candidate
who they are assured beforehand,
will be repudiated by forceful ele-
ment In the party?
In the meantime political history
is being made fast, and the demo-
Gratis are giving It the vehicle OF a
pungent literature. Colonel Waiter
sons reputation OF his party's most
available candidate is carried into
every corner OF the country and be-
comes q matter OF record. It cannot
easily be effaced or checked out OF
mind. No doubt efforts at concilia-
ton will be made. especially IL Gov
ernor Wilson is nominated. but
should they succeed, these trenchant
ords OF the great southern editor
will stand out like cooked hat in

voter:
