CHINA FIRM RE0RGANIZED.
Higgins & setter 10 Operate on
Much Larger BASIS.

The china and glass establishment OF
Higgins & Setter, which for over a qua
ter Of a century conducted a very large
and successful business in china. glass
ware and special decorations at their
former location in Tw%enty-irst and
Twenty-sccond streets, near Sixth ave-
nue.. have recognized their business on
n much larger and more substantial
foundation than ever before.
When the general uptown movement
took place. Higgins Il Setter moved to
the new Higgins & Setter building at
Gil East Thirty-seventh street. They
were compelled to carry n large block of
vacant real estate at their former loca-
ton which resulted In such a heavy
financial drain that In February last
receivers were appointed. During the
term of the receivership 1t was remarked
by one of the receivers that he never
raw a business with 40 much good will
and where the customers showed such a
personal interest"
Despite the war abroad they will have
an entirely new. complete stock OF the
finest china. glass n kindred lines by
early autumn. In addition many OF the
exclusive Higgins n Setter open stock
patterns In china and glass will be re-
tanned and fully r~cplenished for the
benefit of old customers of the firm.
There will be practically no change in
the management or business policy.
The officers of the new company are I:

Tho Health Department announced
yesterday that IA campaign has been
started to combat the lead poisoning
from which many commercial painters

mir Jordan, a painter for the depart
ment, was found to be suffering from
lead poisoning while at work in the WILL
lard Parker Hospital.
He was given an indefinite cave Of
absence and was placed under observa-
ton by the departments physician.

the division. addressed on Monday night
q meeting of the Brotherhood Of Paint
ers, Local Union No. s4s. at the Labor
Temple on the dangers OF their calling.

Health Department In improving the
conditions of their work. The Health
commissioner Is now contemplating call
ing n conference of commercial painters
n allied interests for the purpose Of
passing regulations requiring the substi-
tuition of zinc for lead, based on the re-
suits of the thorough study of the ques-
ton which was made at the Pasteur In
ktitute in Paris.
