MILLER APPROVES
VOTING MACHINES
Favors Installation in Every
County in state, Bronx
Committee Announces.
FIRST COST A PROBLEM
Ultimate Saving in Election
Expenses, Especially Print
ing, Is Seen.

Gov.-EIect Nathan l.. Miller has am
ncGnced himself in favor OF the installa
tion of voting machines in every county
in the State, according to a statement
issued yesterday by the Bronx County
Republican Committee. And it is prob
able that the machines will be installed
for tryout in Bronx county in the neXt
election. Judge Miller was expected in
New York last night for conferences
yith Republican leaders upon a number
Of subjects possibly including the vot-
ing machines. but had not arrived at a
ate hour.
The Governor-elect expressed his views
upon voting machines at a recent con-
ference with George A. Glynn. chairman
of the State Republican Committee;
Richard W. Lawrence, chairman of the
Bronx County Republican Committee,
and Assemblyman II. Edmund Maehold,,
who will be next Speaker of the House.
Upon instructions of Judge Miller. Chair
man Lawrence said he has appointed a
committee to investigate the feasibility
of using voting machines in The Bronx.
The committee will report December IA.
The biggest problem in connection
with a Statewide use Of voting machines
Chairman Lawrence said, Is the Lutial
cost of equipment which is estimated at
approximately $4,000. 900. In some couii-
lies where voting machines are ia use,
he said, they have been purchased by
bond issues Advocates OF the votirg
machines contend it would moan "a great
saving in election expenses especially ia
the matter of printing bills
The Legislature took UP the matter
Of voting machines a number Of years
ago and created a state Board OF Voting
Machine Commissioners. composed Of
three members. with terms of three
years each. Each Commissioner receives
a fee of $3.50 for passing upon the merits
of any type Of voting machine. The
cost of each machine is said TO b. about
$500. but that cost probably would be
lower in event Of Statewide use
TIE Institute OF Public Service. 42S
West 120th street, of which Julius H.
Barnes is chairman and William H.
Allen director. issued a public appeal
yesterday to Judge Miller and the other
State budget makers 10 govern their
cuts in the budget by the States wis
ible needs" rather than by visible dol
lars" The appeal said in part:
new YORK Stdte GOVelnpf-elect VIII
fail before his term is fairly begun if
he keeps his budget eve on visible dol
lars instead Of on visible human needs.
If the present State budget estimates
are too large It isn't because they have
gone beyond visible revenues but be-
cause they have gone beyond visible
provable needs. No service which ne
can render to this State is likely to
equal the establishment OF budget maxi
ing which will start with a thorough
study of what the state needs to have
done and trains the public TO think
about budgets from tho standpoint of
visible needs rather than visible dol
lars"

Mental Work
Needs a Stomach
Great Mistake to Imagine You
Can Work Better and Faster
on the Starvation Plan. Eat
What You Like But Fol-
low With Stuart's Dys-
pepSia Tablets.

Mental work uses up energy fast
And energy comes from food. To eat
little or nothing in order to do more
work is a fallacy that has created an
army of dyspeptics. A better plan is
to eat the regular portions of food
such as make up the average meal and
follow each meal with Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
You will then get a double benefit
energy from food and sociabiIity
with meals, for as a rule. the light
eater. or those who skip meals. get
into a bad habit. a rut of hermit-like
isolation. Do not be afraid of gassi-
ness sour stomach. heartburn. heavy
feeling or coated tongue after meals.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets arouse the
stomach to secrete the juices neces-
sary TO relieve these troubles that so
frequently, distress the mental worker.
They contain harmless ingredients
which act with an alkaline effect. so
you may eat the rich things of the
banquet or the savory sausage for
breakfast with utmost freedom.
Get a 50-cent box of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at any drug store. eat
freely of what you like and you will
do more and better work than on a
skinny diet. Try this plan.-Adv.

HERE'S A TIP TO WALTERS.

If the service. isn't up to the
standard these days. don't blame
the waiter. Maybe his abstraction
is due to the fact that he's figuring
on the amount of tax he will have
to pay on his tips for last year.
Such gratuities to walters. bell boys,
porters. etc, are not regarded as
gifts. but as compensation for per
sonal service rendered. And the
government purposes to collect also
from the person who owns the
''hat-checking" privileges.
