WILSON TO STAY
  ON BRIDGE BOARDS AFTER TERM ENDS
MacFayden Puts Resolution Through Council Which
 Will Keep Mayor

Through a resolution passed last night by the common council Mayor Wilson will have authority in the handling of $350, 600 that has been vot- ed in bonds to build new. bridges over the Pequononck river at Grand street and at East Washington avenue. The mayor is already a member of the commission which is to build the $400, GOO bridge over the river at Stratford avenue and unti1 recently all sessions of this commission have been held in secret. Whether this procedure has been by orders of the mayor no mem Der of the commission will say. The mayor himself has refused to discuss the matter If the former procedure is carried out all preliminary sessions of the new commissions will be fna se- cret.
 The vote of the council last night places the mayor in the position of having an active voice in the disposal of S75O, GOO of the ctty's funds even though his administration ends in No venber. The resolution giving this authority which went through the common council last night without protest was offered by AIdern1anf Nal colm MacF'ayden, the Republican lead CT of the council, and reads as fol- lows:
 Whereas, the present administration has been very active in the develop ment of our city, and the bonds for the two bridges oyer the PequonnOck river, one at Grand street and the othen at East Washington avenue were authorized a, few weeks ago, thereby expressing confidence in the present management of the affairs Of the city; and
 Whereas, the present administration will be held responsible, largely, to the public for the proper handling of the aforesaid funds, be it therefore
 Resolved, that Clifford B. Wilson be, and he hereby is named chairman of the commissions to be selected by the mayor to carry on this work.
 It is whispered in Republican circles that Alderman MacFayden is to be named as chairrran of the Grand street bridge commission. Alderman MadFayden was slated to head the new Stratford avenue bridge cornrnis- sion but the mayor when he made up the list of his appointments left AL derman MacFayden's name off it. The alderman who expected to be appoint ed on this commission was much chagrined when his name was not mentioned but not more so than were his friends in the Republican party. They promptly made a howl to the mayor and the latter assured them that Alderman MaoFayden should be first after him on the Grand street bridge commission.

I have enlarged pores on my nose and these seem to be a fit setting for blackheads, but think if the pores were closed, it would tend to ehnni- nate the other Will you kindly give me your opinion of using this prep aration or advise mo what to do. I have applied hot water and then ice. which I believe was fairly beneficial

 The Health Habit: As a matter of fact, any human being that is prop er1y educated in the present day knowledge of sanitation and diet. should contract the health habit at 9 very early age and continue it throughout very long life. Our pup lie schools teach the children many things about caring for themselves and laws of cleanliness that were un- known to even the well educated of 50 years ago. It is only during re- cent years that the doctors them typhoid infection and that the com mon housefly was largely responsi- ble for spreading the disease. It is only during recent years that they have known the source of malaria and cholera as well as many other infectious diseases and that all or them are preyentable.
 The departm ent of agriculture at Washington, has promptly taken ad- vantage of the knowledge and pub nshed bulletins, free for asking, that will enable the farmers of the United States to destroy the troublesome fly pest and permanently rid the com rr1unity of the danger at ;I cost of less than was formerly spent for fly nets for the horses and screens for the houses. When we know the cause, let, us get the habit of removing it. Fly nets for horses and screens for houses are a poor substitute for a flyless home.
 The poor COW that is tethered in the meadow is not protected by nets and the legs of the work horses suf- fer intensely. Why not do away with the fly? It's easy when yon know how and the government has spent many thousands of dollars in order to inteI1igently tell you how. A postal card request to the department will give you full directions.
 After you once experience the blessing of freedom from flies you will join forces with your netghbers and kill the mosquitoes. With these two pests out of the way and a sup ply of pure drinking water available, typhoid and malaria will soon disap- pear
 By the use of more fresh, uncooked foods, such as fruits, vegetables and nuts, there will be less constipation and therefore, less calonei used and in time pyorrhea will disappear. rheumatism will be less frequent and more easily controlled. Get the health habit by all means. the Home Health Club will help you.

No warrenfte will be laid in Con gross street from Washington avenue to Main street as had been planned ] rnIttee. Listening to the protests Of many property owners. teamsters and others who are obliged to use this street, the members of the commit tee have decided this sort Of pave ment would be too slippery in wet or winter weather and the committee recommended the street be paved with granite blocks set in cement. The work will be under the super vision of the paving and sewer com mission.

James M. Sullivan. American minis ter to the Dominican republic, who was declared temperamentaIly unfit for that office by the report of Senator PheIan, who conducted an investiga- ton, talked with Secretary Lansing at the state department by appointment. When MT. Sullivan left the department he declined to say whether he had re- signed, and Secretary Lansing also had nothing to say. The report has been reviewed by President Wilson, to whom it was transmitted by the state department some weeks ago. While the testimony was taken at public hearings, the report has not been pub 1ished.
 The accompanying photograph of MT Sullivan was taken on@his arrival in New York from Santo Domingo.

How peril made a stgun toter'' of a governors wife; how the woman ac- custoned to every luxury that beauty and position can command suddenly found herself learning the lesson of the pioneer wife, to stand by and keep stiff upper lip.'; how she event went smiling to the dentist every morning during the riots that her hus- band might not suspect she was frightened-this is the story of Sarah SIaton, wife of the former governor of Georgia. It sounded like a chapter out of an Indian massacre, this tale of men slcull<ing in the woods and a wife following her husband about with a gum. It sounded doub1y impossible as one sat in the fashionable New York hotel and gazed at the wife of John M. Slaton, whose last act as governor of Georgia was to commute Leo Franks death sentence. The accom- panying photograph of Mrs. SIaton was taken while she was telling her story in the New York hotel.
