The admiration Of the girl for you
is evident, and she must be cured at
once. The cure will be effected the
quickest and most thoroughly If she
sees you stripped for your part in
contest Of brutality. She will see that
you depend on brute strength to win
your way in the world, and that all
your development has been in the
muscles Of your arms and calves
If she has a brain in her own head,
she will note the absence of a brain
in yours II she has a heart that
beats in sympathetic understanding
with the suffering Of the weak and
oppressed. she will be stirred to dis

makes his living by brute force.

In Regard To Election Contest al
Hudson.

Hudson, June 1.-THE residents
of Hudson are anXiously awaiting a
decision of Judge Jones of the state
circuit court, in the saloon license
case which may result in Hudson be-
ing declared dry" for the year com
mencing July J..
Prominent attorneys of the county
who have made a study of the case
declare there is not much chance of
the decision being in favor of license.
They state that according to a new
law which went into effect in 1911
the town has had no legal election
since 1911, because no registration
books for town elections were provid-
ed as required, and that consequently
no legal town election has been held
in Hudson since that time.
IL the decision of Judge Jones is
in substance to this effect, the hopes
of the VETS will go glimmering.
and a special election will have to be
held and town officers legally elected
and the men who constituted the
town board in 1911 would have to
call the special election to make it
legal and binding.

London Lancet: In dealing with
persons suffering from electrical
shock if the victim remains in on
tact with the circuit his body must
not be touched by the rescuer, but
the latter may pull him out of contact
by hauling on the clothing, or he may
take off his own coat, insert his
hands in the sleeves and then handle
the victim with little or no risk. Al
most any article of clothing or ma
terial may be used, provided it is dry
and of moderate thickness. DR.. Nor
ton points out that death from cleo
| trical shock is only an apparent
death at first, and that there is prac-
tically always a time during which ii
is possible to resuscitate the victim
by artificial respiration.

stand opposed to the proposed plan.
A prominent member of the Com

that if Mitchell people did not take
