TRUTH, If ONLY

Feminity Like Us TO Say Nice

(By Beatrice Fairfax)

Do women want a need of flat
terry and compliments offered them
as tribute - or do they desire the
finer tribute Of honest, simple, and.
II need be, bitter, truth?
Does the feminine want even its
medicine sugar-coated, or is it will
ing to swallow a bitter dose if that
will proveacurative?
On the attitude of the individual
woman toward these questions de-
pends whether she is to have true
friends as she goes through life or
whether she can hope for nothing
better than acquaintances with wo-
men and flirtations with men.
The truth isn't always pleasant;
how can 1t be-? Life itself is far too
bitter and grim reality to make that
possible. But the truth Is curative.
The people who tell it to you have
taken the trouble TO study YOU. to
look at you squarely and fairly as an
individual worthy their attention and
interest, and to try to figure out what
is Tor your good and advantage.
None of us can stand off and get

10000 Plurality For
Hughes Is Giuen by
Illinois; Heavy Vote

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. S.-With Illinois
in the Republican column by plural
ity of more than 10000. election Off
cials to-day resumed the task of tabu-
lating what was believed might prove
the biggest vote ever cast by any
State.
Women, voting the first time for
President in Illinois, swelled the total
vote to approximately 1,765,0O0, ac-
cording to estimates based on the pre-
cincts already counted.
Il am ce'tair that Hughes and Fair
banks have won, although the result
appears to be close" said Mr.. Hert.
j talked by telephone with Chester
p. Rowell, Republican State chairman
of California, this morning and he
said he had received returns from
every county in the State and that
Hughes has won in California by
about 10000.
In Indiana the leaders with whom
I talked assured me that the Repub-
licans had the State by at least 10000.
In Minnesota the Republican leaders
are certain that Hughes has carried
the State by about 10000 1 also re-
ceived positive assurance to-day from
Republicans who are in a position to
know that North Dakota is safe for
Hughes. Counting the electoral votes
from these States, Hughes will have
272 or six more than the necessary
266. In addition to these States
which we are certain, we have strong
hopes of winning in Missouri and Ore
gon where the vote is exceedingly
close"

REMEDY FOR NEURASTHENIA

Neurasthenia is a condition of exhaus-
tion OF the nervous system. The causes
are varied. Continuous work, mental
or physical, without proper vacation
periods, without proper attention to
diet and exercise, also worry over the
struggle for success, are the most COM
mon causes. Excesses of almost any
kind may produce it. Some diseases,
like the grip, will cause neurasthenia.
So also will a severe shock, intense
anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are oversensitiveness,
lrritability, disposition to worry over
trif1es, headache, possibly nausea.
The treatment is one of nutrition OF
the nerve cells, requiring a non-alco-
holic tonic. As the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood the treat
ment must be directed towards build
ing up the blood. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills act directly on the blood and have
proved of the greatest benefit in many
cases OF neurasthenia. A tendency to
anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by
most neurasthenic patients, is also cor
rected by these tonic pills.
Two useful books Diseases of the
Nervous System" and "What to Eat
and How to Eat" will be sent free by
the DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schen-
ectady, ny. Your own Druggist sells

HUGHES SILENT AS
RETURNS COME in
Eagerly Reads Newspapers and
Dispatches From Doubt
full States

New York, Nov. 8. - Charles e.
Hughes awoke at o'clock this morn
ing after sleeping nearly seven hours,
and a minute later was reading the
newspapers and latest dispatches from
doubtful States.
The private telephone wires between
the nominees rooms and Republican
national headquarters were kept busy
and on the basis of incomplete re-
turns tabulations were prepared for
his perusal. Chairman Wilcox COM
municated with the nominee and de-
clared belated reports were reassur-
ing.
Mr.. Hughes adhered to his deter
mination of last night to make no
comment and issue no statement un-
til the result was beyond doubt. He
breakfasted with Mrs. Hughes and
their three daughters. Newspapers
were propped up in front of them all
and the meal was frequently inter-
rupted to read the latest reports from
doubtful States.
Mr.. Hughes was especially interest
ed in returns from California Minne-
sofa, Nebraska and Missouri. Early
adV1ces to the nominee from party
leaders were that the two last named
States were in doubt with a steady Re-
publican trend as returns came
slowly in.

Dear MISS Fairfax:
l am writing to you for some ad-
vice and shall appreciate your kind
ness.
/ am nineteen years old and I am
employed as typist by large mail
order firm.
In October l made the acquaintance
or a gentleman fifty years of age, al
though he looks much younger.
ffe Is a well educated gentleman
has his own business. and is in all
respects a perfect gentleman.
fie has asked to call at my home
and meet my parents, and has also
invited me to go out with him, provid-
ing my parents consent.
What wish to know is. do you
think this gentleman Is too old for
me to go out with? E. c. j.
Can you possibly imagine yourself
happy as the wife of man who is
In all probability older than your
father? Surely your tastes and inclin-
ations are altogether different since
you are practically two generations
apart. 1t would be unfair to both of
you for you to permit this friendship
to go far for it might only result in
pain and unhappiness for both OF you.

There seemed to be no doubt that

In the Hughes column, were count
ed Connecticut Illinois, Iowa, Maine,
Massach usetts, Michigan, New Jersey,
New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Dakota, Vermont and
Wisconsin.
From the doubtful States the re-
turns continued to point first toward
one candidate and then toward the
other but toward morning there was
a notice of steady drift toward
President Wilson.
When word went over the country
that President Wilson had been de-
feated the Republican hosts were
jubilant. Although New England re-
turns supported the predictions of a
Republican victory, as the ballot
counting started in the Middle West
and on the coast, 1t dawned on these
Tic NOle mere IHdL tTeSl-
dent Wilson was far from defeated,
that the Hughes landslide was en-
tirely confined to the east and that
in the States which will make up the
majority in the electoral college a
very close race was being run.
Other presidents have been elected
without New York and some of the
so-caled pivotal States. Hayes lost
New York and Indiana and five 9TH
ers to Tilden but was seated in his
close contest. While Cleveland car
ried New York in each of his sue
cessful campaigns, he lost in one or
the other of them, Indiana Massa-
chusetts. Ohio, Michigan and Penn
sylvania.
So, as soon as the Wilson major
tiles began piling up toward the west
1T became apparent that political his
tory was repeating itself. Never at
any time did Democratic headquarters
recede from its claims of President
Wilson's election. Chairman Nc
Cormick at one time got his estimate
of the presidents majority in the cleo
toral college down as low as two, but
with the encouraging returns from the
west he promptly raised it again.
1t is the first time in 26 years that
the country has had to wait over
night to learn whom 1t had chosen for
its president.

The Amendment In Effect

The jitney amendment becomes eff
fective as soon as the official vote is
compiled and filed on record.
The amendment was suggested in
Council during the recent trolley
strike when the jitneurs protested
against the original provisions of the
ordinance fixing a $4,000 bond for all
who obtained a license.
Council however declined to act on
the amendment and put the whole
problem up to the people to decide by
initiative vote. Further action by the
city fathers will be unnecessary as
the decision of the people yesterday
automatically enacts the amendment
into a part of the iitneY law.

The Campaign

The decision at the polls yesterday
was the result of a vigorous campaign
that had been waged by a citizens
committee appointed by the Chamber
of Commerce and a special committee
from the school board.
The amendment to the jitney or
dinance in brief provides that the jit-
ney owner must file bond of $50,
and each month pay into the city
treasury SIS per month until a fund of
a thousand dollars is raised upon
which suit for damages can be
brought in case of accident. The
license fees are fixed as follows: for
the bus carrying not more than seven
passengers $40; more than seven and
not less than fifteen, $40; more than
fifteen persons, $40. A fee of a dol
lar year is charged for the chauf-
feur
