the Red Cross idea. The minute sci

It is adopted in the Red Cross army

This fact is wildly emphasized in

TRENTON. Oct. S.-The startling
declaration that the present war will
Increase to a considerable extent cpl
lepsy as the result of shell shock, In
juries sustained in battle n the gen.
eral change In living conditions was
made today by DIR. David Il. Weeks
president of the Information Associa-
ton for Epilepsy AND superintendent
of the State Village for Epileptfcs a
Skillman.
DIR. Weeks statement was made IN
a special report he submitted to state
commissioner of Charities and Cor
rections Burdette c. Lewis, containing
a comprehensive analysis of the situa-
ton and the possible ways for the New
Jersey state village to render assist
anc to the army and navy in the mat
ter of the care and treatment of pre-
sent cases. al well as the increased
number which will be discovered from
time to time during the progress of the
war. Following are the ways In which
the state institution can aid the gov
eminent. according to DIR. Weeks:
First. by acting as q clearing and
demonstrating station for acute cases
through which patients can pass. the
function being TO separate the large
number of epileptics occurring in tho
environments into the cases to be dis
charged and returned TO their homes.
or to state institutions. and into an
other class to be retained for further
examination and treatment.
Second: On land belonging to the in
stitution, or Immediately adjacent
thereto. a site can be selected for the
erection of buildings in which to care
for the army epileptics for a longer
period of time.
Third: should the government de-
cide to discharge the greater number
OF the ~epileptics found in the canton
ments. these cases will sooner or later
return to their home communities ana
present themselves for state care, In
which event those states having separ-
ate provision for the epileptics. will be
required to enlarge their institutions.

lly 100 municipalities throughout the
state will vote on the liquor question
! at the coming general election. ac-
cording I o the lists being made up in
the secretary of states Office now for
use by the soldiers and sailors in the
various environments.
The department has already had
printed a list showing the municipal
tiles In each county in which this
question Is to be decided. The SOL
diers can, therefore. by referring to
this list. learn whether their respec-
| tive communities are to vote on the
wet or dry question, and IL SO
can write their preference on the
ballot. The ballots prepared for the
men in service could not contain the
names OF all the communities where
the liquor question is to be voted up
on. The list already printed contains
eighty-five communities. large and
small. and since it vas mad up five
more towns have notified the secre-
tary of state that the local option law
will be applied in their communities
at the general election.
IL . lail ~ aoSaAA tANs w

question, although the law provides
that all petitions on this subject must
be submitted to the clerks of the
municipalities forty-fve days before
the election.
Among the larger municipalities
which will vote on the question are
Camden, Trenton, Summit and Phil
lipsburg. In these communities. par
ticularly Camden and Trenton. the
local option law enacted last winter
after years of effort or the part of
the Anti-Saloon League will have its
first real test. Trenton and Camden
are the first cities in, the state with
populations exceeding 100. 900 to vote
on the local option question.
A number of special elections have
been already held In smaller commu-
mites of the state, but with the ex-
ception of Long Branch. which voted

the state have had a chance to act
on the proposition until this time.
In Middlesex county the Borough
Of Midtown n Township of EaN
Brunswick are to vote.
In Monmouth county Eatontown

Howell township will take 1t up.
