Wilson Probable
Choice of Voters
One Of Closest Races for Presidency in the
History Of the Nation Apparently in Favor
Of the Democratic Candidate.

New York.-President Woodrow vii.
son has been reelected by the voters
OF the United States. s.,.
| The race was one Of the closest In
the history Of the nation. The cleo.
toral vote Is estimated as: Wilson,
1884: hughes. 247.
The vote was the heaviest in the
history Of the nation. which is respon-
sible for the lateness of the decision.
First reports from over the country
indicated that Charles Evans Hughes
had been chosen as our next presi-
dent, but with the returns from Cali.
fornia and Minnesota. which had been
claimed by the Republicans, 1t was
learned that the president had again
been the choice of the voters as their
chief executive.
A number of western states which
had been confidently counted on by
the Republicans to return substantial
majorities for Hughes and Fairbanks,
will cast their electoral votes for vii.
son and Marshall.
The next house of representatives
will be Republican by at least ma
jority of ten. The senate will be
Democratic.
The election was filled with sur
prises, some of them most startling in
character. One of the surprises was
the close race in Kansas, hitherto
Republican stronghold.
Interest was focused ON Illinois
That was officially set down as the
state upon which the national contest
would swing. Illinois went for Hughes.
The women furnished the surprises
In this state. There were 100000 OF
them at the polling places during the
day.
The labor vote in some of the rail.
way centers of Illinois caused de.
lection and the state retained its place
but the swing Of business men to the
Republican ticket made up for this de.
lection ind the state retained Its place
in the column where 1t always stood
till four years ago, when 1t went away
in the three-cornered fight for the pres.
idency.
New York state swung into the Re-
publican column and her forty-five cleo.
toral votes will be cast for Hughes
and Fairbanks.
Governor Whitman Is reelected by
an Overwhelming vote. William Cal
der, Republican. has been reelected
United States senator. New York
York county's plurality for the presi'
dent was one of the smallest in Tam
many's history. 1t was $4,000. The
same majority was given to Samuel
Seafury, nominee for governor on the
Democratic ticket.
Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin
were looked upon as states likely to

EQUINOX WORKERS STRIKE.
Demand for Ten Per Cent Wage In
crease Refused.

Anderson, Aug. 31.-Following a
refusal on the part Of the manage
ment Of the Equinox cotton mills to
grant request of 10 yer cent in
crease in wages, the 500 operatives o.
these mills did not report for duty at
their respective posts at o'clock
this morning, the usual hour for
starting. The strike had been pend
Ing for some time. The Equinox
local union of the United Textile
Workers Of America filed it's request
for the 10 per cent increase in
wages during the latter part of July.
The management indicated then that
the request would not be granted.
Yesterday one Of the operatives In
quired at the office to ascertain whc-
ther or not the request would be
granted, and on being Informed that
1t would not, the strike was ordered,
effective this morning.
There are approximately 1,5O0 peo-
pie dependent upon these mills,
which manufacture cotton duck.
Many Of the operatives congregated
in groups near the mill throughout
to-day. but there was not the least
semblance OF disorder. The opera
tives are in good humor. The GIuck

U. s. ARMY MILITARY EXPERTS.
Figuring OH Possibilities In the Con-
fiict Raging in Europe.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-In the
opinion of military experts of the
United States army, Great Britain
and France still have the bulk Of
their work ahead Of them on the
western front of the European bat
tletield. The Central powers are far
from defeated, and there are indica-
tions OF slowing down OF the gene
Ia, offensive attempted on Ill sides.
''The allies probably will be able
to get to the Rhine if they are will
ing to spend the necessary time, men
aud treasure by continuing to press
back the Teutonic line by short
spurts,' said an expert of rank who
has closely folpwed all develop
ments Of the war. But If they
reach the Rhine, the cost will be
frightful. No man can tell exactly
what it would be, but it has been put
as high as 100000 men.
Teuton Line Seems Stafrening.
"Of course, it is possible that the
Anglo-French battering rams may
succeed in breaking through the
German line, but up to date there
has been no indication Of such
break. On the contrary, the Teu-
tonic line appears to be stiffening as
the allies press slowly forward.
"There is always the possibility
that the allies may be able to gather
together sufficient men and muni-
tions on comparatively limited
front to strike the overwhelming
blow that would bring the war to a
close much like the Franco-Prussian
war. On the other hand, it is en-
tirely probable that Germany and
Austria may still be able to bring
about deadlock on all fronts, and
thus keep the war dragging along
perhaps for years.
"While the Anglo-French force on
the Somme front has made important
gains through numerous brilliant en-
gagements that will live long in his
tory, the cold military fact remains
that they have not succeeded in
pushing the line back far enough to
give Germany any serious apprehen-
sion.
$50 far as you can tell from this
distance, England and France have
had all the men and munitions they
could use on the fronts on which
they have been most active. They
have not gone through the German
lines, and compared with the area Of
France and Belgium under German
control, their aggregate gains of ter
ritory have not been large.
--latest reports from the western
front indicate that the Germans are
again on the offensive at many
points, although the allies continue
to hammer away, making slow gains
here and there"

lutely necessary. The dose of rest
you take will depend on your doc
tors advice. He will tell you when
you can get out of bed and when you
can exercise and how much. But
first and foremost you must learn to
rest, in order to give the lungs a
chance to heal.
Besides good doctor, fresh air
and rest, the cure for tuberculosis re-
puires good, wholesome food. In
normal health, food Of the right kind
is very necessary, b,)t in tuberculo-
sis it is dohbly important. Good is
the fuel which heats the body and
gives it is energy or you Nigh: al
most say Steam" In tuberculosis
one must pay special attention to
food. because he has to provide fuel
not only for the ordinary functions
Of the body, but we must provide an
additional! supply O meet the waste
and damage done b. the germs of the
disease. This doesn't mean that you
must be continually stuffing yourself,
for if you do that you will upset
your stomach, bowels and liver, and
you will counteract all the good the
food might do. Neither does 1t mean
that you must eat just one or two
kinds Of fooA such as milk and eggs,
which some people think are cure
for tuberculosis. They are excellen
foods for people who can eat and di-
sest them readily, and every con-
sumptive should try to acquire an ap-
petite for them. But meat and pota-
toes and bread and butter and good
vegetables and almost any other
nourishing, wholesome food in plen-
ty of variety are needed also. Don't
rely on tid-bits and sweets, but stoke
your body furnace with food-fuel that
will keep it running In the best pos
sible order. Your doctor is the best
one to advise on foods.
And, finally, last essential in the
cure Of tuberculosis may be summed
up III these words: Don't worry"
keep hopeful state of mind. If you
give up and say Its no uss," "you
will never get we'll, no matter how
patiently you follow the other essen
tials OF cure. Getting we'll depends
for the most part on you. Back
bone, hopefulness and courage will
do more for you than all the doctors
in the world.
Just word as to where to take
the cure. If you can go to a sana-
torium, do so. There are not enough
sanatoria for every one, however. So
YOU may have to stay at home and
fight alone. Remember. tuberculosis
can he cured If you take it in time
and do your part.

'"Toxaway." Suitable reward would

There are waterfalls in Switzer-

benefit Of tourists, who are charged
so much head for witnessing these
natural wonders, and turned off
when the visitors have departed, that
sufficient water may be saved to
supply the next demand.
In America there are a few beau
tiful lakes that are man made, and
