Jersey DRIFTS
TO SUFFRAGE
AS VOTE NEARS
Canvasses- Alternately For
and AgainSt-Politicians
Frankly Puzzled.

The closer the vote on suffrage
comes in New Jersey the more puzzling
the situation stands. Old politicians
have given up trying TO predict. Re-
quests yesterday for estimates Of TO-
morrow's vote by the men who ought
10 know brought q frank confession Of
inability even 10 make fair guess.
The vote will be light owing to the
fact that it is special election. Also,
there is no gsinsaying e fact that
there has been a rapid drift to suffrage
in the last few weeks. The earlier
feeling that the reform would be over
whelmed by indifference has disap-
peared. That is about as far as expert
opinion goes
Hudson County, which includes Jer-
sey City Bayonne and Hoboken, will
undoubtedly swing a large majority
for the suffrage amendment, while
Essex, where the efforts of Jim Nugent,
the Democratic boss, have been di-
rected against the measure, will prob
ably record heavy adverse vote. Pas
sale County is expected to favor t.,
measure, but what action would be
taken in Union, Camden. Bergen and
Mercer, the other decisive counties,
was a matter Of conjecture last night.
The strong and comparatively recent
swing TO suffrage apparently covers the
whole state. Sufragists started their
educational campaign last summer, but
its fruits did not begin TO become sp-
parent until about SIX weeks ago. Since
that time President Wilson and many
other well known men have come out
openly for the cause, the one exception
being Governor Fielder. whose an
nouncement that he would vote against
the measure is being made into stump
material by the "antis.'

London, Oct. 1.-THE Bulgar-
Teuton invasion Of Serbia has en-
tered an alarming stage, in which
unless Allied aid arrives before
many hours, the doom of the valiant
little Balkan kingdom will have been
sealed, and the military failure Of
the Entente Powers will have been
as great as that of their diplomacy.
Bulgaria, following the slow gath
ering of her forces, has struck with
all her might, like Germany in Ga
licia, and is attempting to hurl her
armies down the kumanovo- Kusten-
dill railway TO isolate Nish from Al
lied aid. Already her troops, accord
ing to the Temps" correspondent
at Nish, are twenty miles across the
frontier at Ketchane, where they
have been checked by the Serbs only
with difficulty. Their objective, the
Nish-Salonica railway, is barely
thirty miles away.

There Is no denying the serious

Although the campaign in most coun-

more than $50 women speakers and

adherents will be busy. In an effort 10

FINE OLD FOLKS

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. IA
The fine old families" of Philadel-
phia's Quaker stock and those found
ed by New hnglands pilgrims came
in for criticism at the convention of
American Association for Study and
Prevention of Infant Mortality, on the
ground that they were permitting
themselves to die out.
The maxim, as rare as a dead
mule or Quaker baby certainly goes
for Philadelphia, said Prof E. G.
Conklin, of Princeton.
THE greatest danger that faces
this city and this country today is
that good family stock shall disap-
pear. Good hereditary lines are run
ming out, due, in most instances, to
voluntary causes which ought to be
avoided. In Boston, Philadelphia and
elsewhere the families are disappesx.
ing Every normal man and woman
ought to be taught that they live not
only for themselves Too often we
read the headlines, The Last of His
Family
THE saddest thing is to see the
splendid old families of Boston, Phil
adelphia and other places-families
that have borne presidents in their
time-die out from wilfulness."

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t is said that every third person is
troubled with catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
indicates a weakened condition of the
body; that the secretions of the mu-
cous membranes are quickly affected,
and local treatments in the form of
snuffs and vapors, do little if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood and
improving your general condition with
the oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which
isa medicinal-food and building-tonic,
free from alcohol or harmful drugs.
SCOTS Emulsion is not a patent
medicine but concentrated medicinal
food, prescribed by the best ply
sicians for forty years.
