RESULTS IN The CITY

while John n. st. John was low in a
field of thirteen with but 220 votes.
The LIQUOR dealers were a trifie more
unfortunate, as Daniel l.. Bachman
defeated Richard Henderson, a mem
Der of the present board and former
president, by only three votes, MT.
Henderson was pronounced the WIN
ner by Leo Schwartz, a man
ed with liquor interests, to the city
hall crowd after the first tabulat1on
was made, but stood corrected by
Alderman R. J. Calvin, of the third
ward, who was watching the pro-
gress of the Bachman vote.
Mr.. Bachman's vote was again to-
tailed and found to stand three votes
over Mr.. H~endeTson's total of 467.
Mr.. Schwartz turned to the corridor,
where Mr.. Henderson was receiving
concentrations on his victory, and
said: "Jim,' you lose.o Mr.. Hem
derson returned to the city clerks
desk and went over the figures
again, but no mistakes could be
found. The successful candidates on
the Democratic ticket were Patrick
J.. Rocks, 642; Hugh ]. Gallagher,

Burns, present member, $50. j. H.
Burns, brother of Commissioner
Burns, received 467 votes. Joseph
Polkowitz received but 1877 votes,
running low in a field of thirteen.

Harmony candidates in the three
wards in which aldermen will be
elected this November. William c.
Wilson debated Alderman Samuel
w. Hornsby in the first ward by a
, total of 124 to 100, or a majority Of
t~wenty-four. 1t is conceded that Mr..
Wilson will win the election on No
yember 5, as the rst ward gives a
normal Republican majority of about
1875. although Nathaniel Cornelison,
the Democratic candidate, plans a
vigorous campaign. William F..
Hilker was nominated in the third
ward over Walter Rechnitzer by a
score of 81 to IS, or a majority of
66. Ira R. Grouse defeated Joseph
Gadek for the nomination in the
fifth ward by five votes, polling
thirty-three votes e and against
his opponents twenty-eight.

STATE TAKES HAND IN FIGHT
New Jersey. Leads In Advanced Legis.
lation Designed to Check Speed
Of tuberculosis.

What is designated by the National
ton Of tuberculosis as the most ad-
vanced legislation in the campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any state in the United
States. If not by any country in the
world. is found in a bill recently
passed by the New Jersey legislature
and signed by Governor Wilson. The
new law provides that tuberculosis
patients who refuse to obey the regu-
lations laid down by the state board
of health concerning the prevention of
their disease, and thus become a men
they associate, shall be compulsorily
segregated by order of the courts, in
institutions provided for this purpose.
If such a patient refuses to obey the
rules and regulations of the institu-
ton in which he is placed, he may BE
isolated or separated from other per-
sons and restrained from leaving the
institution" The law further pro-
vides that all counties in the state OF
New Jersey shall within six months
from April LIST make provision in spe-
cial institutions for the care of all per-
sons having tuberculosis in these
counties. The state treasury will sub
sidize each county to: the extent Of
$500 a week for each person main
tanned in these institutions, except
those who are able to pay for the cost
of maintenance.

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

When my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and aus terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came. out and finger
nails fell of, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come of when 1 removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried a great many remedies.
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. I used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before I could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
We had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. I think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more"

Women's Status in the West.
From the Century

from the century.
That the divorce rates rise as o go
west is partly due to the willingness Of
chivalrous legislators to put this weap-
on into the wife's hands, partly to the
divorcee's much better chance of re-
marriage. 1t Is a curious fact that the
order OF the 46 states arranged accord
ing to divorce rates, beginning with the
lowest. tallies In q remarkable way with
the order Of the state arranged accord
ing to proportion Of women, beginning
with the highest.
Any shortage Of women that makes
the men eager suitors alters the terms
of the marriage partnership to the ad-
vantage Of the wife n betters the lot
of the unmarried woman Accordingly,
the codes of the western states treat
the wife with more liberality than did
the codes Of the older states, and fair
ness to women seems to be a western
practice that spreads east. Indeed, the
enviable position Of the American wom-
an Is largely the accumulative outcome
of the scarcity value she has for a
time enjoyed In the newer common
