Democrats Elect
State Officials.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 6.-The
entire Democratic State ticket
received the usual majority in
today's general election, scatter
ing returns tonight from over
the State indicated Westmore-
land Davis was believed to have
rolled up a majority of 10000
for Governor over Thomas ].
Muncy, Republican, and Frank
A. Smith, Independent Socialist.
The Democrats apparently ha ]
gained three seats in the lower
house of the legislature. This
gain would give the Democrats
a majority of ninety-four in joint
ballot, the Senate holding over
for another year. Indications
we're that the total vote would
be light, probably not exceeding
100000.
TAMMANY ELECTS MAYOR.
New York, Nov. 6.-John F.
Hylan, a county judge of Kings
County, was elected Mayor OF
New York City today by plur-
atty of more than 10000. He
carried with him the entire DEM
ocratic city ticket, including
Charles L. Craig, for comptrol-
Ter, Alfred E. Smith, for presi-
deut of the Board of Alderman,
aud Edward Swami, for district
attorney.
The indications are that the
Democrats will have majority
in the board of estimates which
controls the expenditures of the
city.
Mayor John P. Mitchell, who
sought reelection as a fusion
candidate, was a poor second i'll
the race. His vote with only
seventy-two districts missing
was 145, 459, compared with
288, ABS for Hylan.
Morris Hillquitt, the socialist
candidate about whom rallied
most of the radical elements in
the city and all those who favor
all immediate negotiated peace,
stood third with 134.890, and

spectedly won the Republican

with the present motor driven ap- paratus arrangements can be made to satisfactorily protect this section. By transferring the motor pumping engine to No. station and installing the flying squadron at the central house the department, think the southern section, of the city will be cared for.'' As further argument against the building of the new fire station, the mayor declares prominent builders have assured him 4hat a suitable station cannot be built for less than ,O0O, exclusive of the site. He will. however, recommend the expenditure of $1,500 for a site. The mayor says he will recommend only the repairing of Park street be- cause he feels that at this time the city should retrench on its unneces- savy expenses. Referring to the op- position to any plan for the abolish meilt of the new fire station this year, Mayor Quigley states that his firm owns about $60,OOO worth of prop erty in that district and he has as muc ihinterest in it's welfare as any body, but he does not believe it is lieve it to be good policy to spend any more Judu 1S dUSO1uSCAy AOCOoOOAy to keep the city running.

This Simple LA,xdfiVe
 4 Household Necessity
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Should Have a Place in
 Every Home.

Constipation, or fnaction of the bowels, a condition that nearly every one experiences with more or less fre- quency, is the direct cause of much disease. When the bowels become clogged with refuse from the stomach, foul gases and poisons are generated, and unless the congestion is quickly relieved the system becomes weak ened and most susceptible to attack.
 Various remedies to relieve consti- patton are prescribed, but many of these contain cathartic or purgative agents that are harsh and violent in their action and shock the system. The most effective remedy is the combina- ton of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in drug stores un- der the name of Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin.
 The Hon. John D. Keister of Bran dywine, w. Va, who has represented his district in the State Legisla ture for six years, writes that he uses Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin and finds it a splendid laxative, easy to take and mild, yet positive in its ac- tion, and that it should be in every household for use when needed.
 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists in all parts of the United States and costs only fifty cents bot tie. It contains no opiate or narcotic drug, does not gripe. and Is recom-

TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy and youthful with Q simple mix ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray. streaked and faded hair is grand mothers recipe, and folks are again using 1t to keep their hair good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youth full appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage.
 Nowadays. though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears. but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that. be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after few applications, 1t also pro- duces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive. This ready-to-use preparation is a de- lightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure. nniti- gation or prevention of disease.

j cultural Work.
 The New Britain Boys club is to enlist its services in the agricultural army of the United States. Superin- tendent R. H. Crawford received the following telegram last night from the general secretary of the Boys club Federation of the United States and Canada:
 "Are you willing to use your club as a recruiting station for boys en- listing for agricultural works? Por- ters' printed matter and form sup piled if plans succeed. The govern ment will be responsible for placing the boys. President Hall of the Boys club Federation must have your reply to take to Washington on April IS. If favorable wire head offlce."
 Superintendent Crawford immedi- ately telegraphed assurance that the New Britain Boys club will cooper ate in every possible manner.
 The superintendent states that in the local club are more trained agrf- cultural workers thanks to the sum- mer garden idea of past years, than in any other Boys club organization in the country. He declares that there are over 200 boys who are pro- flcient in manageing gardens and they may be given work as supervisors of various plots about the city.
