After the national convention is
over and the candidates for president
and vice president are nominated, all
those numerous delegates are not
needed any more, for their work Is
ended. and so the comomn voter is
not to be used again, either, till the

tors from his district to vote directly
for candidates for president and vice
president of his political party and be-
lief.
The common voter and the dele
gates of all kinds are done with, yet
there has been no president and vice
president elected. 1t is now up to the
presidential electors to decide who is
to be president and vice president of
the United States.
If Indiana voters had decided for the
Progressive presidential electors, then
those elected to go to the state capital
at indianapolis and vote separately for
president and vice president, some
time in December, and make list of
votes and number of votes cast for
each president and vice presidential
| candidate and sign it and seal it and
send it directly to the president of
| the United States senate at Washing
ton, D. c. If Texas voters prefer the
Democratic candidates for president,
| then the Democratic presidential cleo
tors of that state go through the same
process and Sc with all the different
states.
/ Then the second Wednesday in Feb
ruary, the president of the United
States senate in the presence of the
| members of the house of representa-
tives and senate together, open all
those lists from the various states
and count the votes and the two per
sons who receive a majority of all
votes cast by the presidential electors
are declared elected president and
vice president of the United States
for the next four years.
But If there has been no majority
of votes cast then the election goes
into the United States congress.

SOCIETY TO CHANGE
ITS CONSTITUTION
Anti-Tuberculosis Society
Appoints Committee to
Draft Constitution.

{ The Wayne County Anti-Tuberculo-
sis society last evening appointed
committee to revise the constitution,
nominate officers, and appoint sub
committees for the purpose OF animal
ing interest in the purpose of the or
SANITATION and of making the provis-
ions of it's constitution conform with
the Indiana Association for the Pre-
vention and Study of tuberculosis.
This step when executed will make the
local society an integral part of the
national association.
THE committee consists of Mrs.
Benton Addington, Miss Emma KEN
per, DR.. Edgar s. Bond, Rev. c. Huber,
DR.. N. S. Cox, Ensign Deuter, George
Bishop, DIR. p. Busche, and Mrs. Ed.
Crawford. -
The committee will meet soon to ac-
complish the purpose of it's appoint
ment and will report back to the So
ciety at meeting subject to the call
of the President, B. F. Wissler, of Cam
bridge City, and Secretary DR.. Edgar
s. Bond, this city.
In an informal discussion of the
needs of Richmond and Wayne county
regarding consistent agitation against
the danger of tuberculosis, 1T was
pointed out that Wayne county stands
second highest in Indiana in the
mortuary record of deaths from tuber-
culosis.
Sixty Indiana counties are organic
ed, Wayne being one of the few that is
far behind in it's zeal for sanitary i'm
provements. This was regarded as re-
markable in view of the fact that
Wayne was one of the very first coun-
ties to organize an anti-tuberculosis
society and gave one of the first large
exhibits in Indiana, showing how to
prevent the disease.

1T Is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think Of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of designation, physical be-
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
Of clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only matter of a little
thoughtful care in the selection of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept q L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample of
each, with S2-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.
