Atlantic Coast
WAS PURCHASED
WITH GERMAN MONEY
First Seizure a Change of Policy
Was Announced to Conform With
the French Rule.

WASHINGTON, Ncv. 3.-Settiemen nj
through arbitration of the ease of the
American steamer Hooking seized by
4 British cruiser off the Atlantic coast,
was forecast today as result of the
new issue which has arisen between the
United States and the entente allies
over the question CT method of de
termining the nationality of merchant
ships.
The British government, it is under
stood will contend that the Hooking
was purchased with German money. The
seizure of the Hooking is the first
since British government announced a
change of policy conformable to the
French rule that a vessels nationality
is determined by ownership and not
by the flag. This position is widely at
variance with that Of the United
States.

revised constitution was rejected and
a Republican majority in the assembly
and three Republican congressman
elected in the New York state election

indicated by 100000, and the majority
against the proposed constitution is
very heavy.

State Rejects Woman Suffrage by Over 1922
O0O-New York and Pennsylvania Also Strongly
Against Proposition is Wet

Overwhelming defeats of woman s
suffrage in New York, Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania; elections of a Dem
ocratic governor in Maryland to sue
ceed Republican, and Republican
governor in Massachusetts to succeed
a Democrat; a gain Of one Republican
representative from New York in Con
gress in the filing of four vacancies,
and the close contest for the governor
ship Of Kentucky, with the Democrat
candidate leading on incomplete re
turns, were outstanding features today
of the elections in 10 states yester-
day.
In New York the proposed new state
constitution was rejected by majori-
ty of approximately 100000. New
York denied woman s plea for the bal
lot by a majority of approximately
100000. Massachusetts, s vote against
suffrage showed a majority of 1872 900.
Pennsylvania returns were slow in
coming, but indicated that the aiori-
ty against suffrage would be less than
first returns indicated. Estimates based
on incomplete returns were that votes
for women would be defeated in the
keystone state by from 10000 to Co.,
900.

How To Gain Weight
A Pound a Day

Thin men and women who would
like to increase their weight with 10
or 15 pounds of healthy "stay there
fat should try eating a little Sargol
with their meals for a while and note
results. Here Is a good test worth
trying. First weigh yourself and
measure yourself. Then take Sargol
.-one tablet with every meal-for two
weeks. Then weigh and measure
yourself again. 1t isn't a question of
how you look or feel or what your
friends say and think. The. scales
and the tape measure will tell their
own story, and most any thin man
or woman can easily add from five
to eight pounds in the first fourteen
days by following this simple direc-
ton. And, best of all, the new flesh
stays put.
sargol does not of itself make fat,
but mixing with your food, 1t turns
the fats, sugars and starches of what
you have eaten into rich, ripe fat
producing nourishment for the tissues
and blood--prepares 1t in an easily
assimilated form which the blood can
readily accept. All this nourishment
now passes from your body as waste
But Sargol stops the waste and does
| 1t quickly and makes the fat-produc-
| Ing contents of the very same meals
you are eating now develop pounds
and pounds of healthy flesh between
your skin and bones. Sargol Is safe

Principals, Interested by Mu-

One result of the municipal exhibi-

creation of wider interest in the
work of the Newark Anti Tuberculo-
sis Association, as shown by the nu-
merous communications received by
the association. Many of the letters
include requests that the exhibit of
the association be displayed in
schools and other public buildings
Ernest d. Easton, secretary of the as
sociation, will apply to the Board Of
Education for permission to show the
exhibit in schools. This action was
authorized by the executive commit
tee of the association, which met yes
terday afternoon in the offices Of for
mer Prosecutor Louis Hood, in the
kinney building. II
School 4ll-4pals have requested
that the anti-tuberculosis exhibit be
shown to their pupils. Brief talks on
the methods of combating the white
plague will be given. Films which
contain an illustrated lecture on the
work have been offered to the asso-
citation by the national organization.

of the session has not been deter

port showed a balance on hand OF
$4,097,61. The report of the secretary
for the month was as follows:
There were forty-four mortality
Visits. Fifty cases were referred to
the association through the clinics
and otherwise. Sixty three cases were
discharged to hospitals or resulted
fatally. Nine cases were admitted
to the State sanitarium at Glen
Gardner.
"A study of the statistics Of Glen
Gardner shows that between 1907 and
1918, 1858 cases have been discharged
from the institution, 80 per cent. of
which were incipient, 43 per cent.
moderately advanced and rs per cent.
advanced Seventy-seven per cent. of
the incipient cases discharged are
now working. Six per cent. OF
the incipient cases have died, 81 per
cent of the moderately advanced and
73 per cent. of the advanced. Over
5000 cases have been admitted since
Twenty five per cent of these did
not stay long enough to receive any
special benefit. A study of deaths by
wards and population has also been
made. The death rate remains prac-
.ically the same as for last year.
"The city planning and municipal
exhibit, held in the City Hall, March
1T, was a distinct success and many
requests to have 1t continued for an.
other week have been received or to
