Tammany will continue ruling New York for another four years. New York, support while condemning, cel ebrated Tuesday as Mayor John F. Hylan tyas "reelected to office. Re publicans and anti-Tammany Demo crats had combined again in an effort to wrest the city's government from the Tigexs grip. Once more Tammy Hair was too strong. Times Square was its usual elec- Ltioil-nlght, pushing, shouting, laugh ing, horn -blowing, bell-ringing, good natured crowd.

No one appeared to have any personal interest in the candidates. The bonfire, in front of the courthouse was missing. The cheers which went up as each candi date stepped out on the courthouse steps was absent here in New York, for w'hov would have recognized the candidates even had they appeared! in the" crowd? And saddest of all, it was an adult crowd. " Candidates and Restaurants. I longed for the scampering young sters in knee-breeches, impartially cheexing each candidate with a gusto and then following at his heels to a restanrarit, here.to forget him as he instructed; the waiters i to give each fVy&S K"T''ty -"C-eHts woTth"'ar.? charge t to m:." - And where were the good church women with their oyster sup per above the Odd Fellows Hall, waiting to beguile election watchers with Chesepeake's finest, stewed, fried or scalloped ? It is on election night, perhaps, most of all, that I long to be back in a small town where one knows each candidate by his given name and where youth has its fling, never reck oning for tomorrow with its weari some dav spent beneath the tired eyes of a school-teacher who, too, had f been imbued with the romance of American suffrage. Fat Women Reduce. Fat women in New York are watc, ing with interest the progress toward! reduction being made by a squad from their numbers training under the direction of Dr. R. S.

Assume No Risks With Diptheria Approach of the diphtheria season in Warren yesterday called for a statement from Dr. W. D. Ro?gers, Jr., County Quarantine Officer. "Though there is no epidemic" he ad vises "consultation of the cSoctor when croup and sore throat develops is. wise. Assume no risks." Dr; Rodgers says: As your county quarantine officer, I wish to call the attenton of every mother in this county to diphtheria. The number of cases of this disease .being reported to the State Board ot Health is on the increase throughout the State. No epidemic is reported at any place, but one may occur any where. We iare entering upon our diphtheria season.. To prevent diphtheria, mother should! .take -their children between six months and six years to their family doctor for- three doses cf toxin-antitoxin. As it takes about six weeks fo"r the effects of this treatment to be established, no time fiTwmld be lost. If child has been ex posed have 1000 units antitoxin given at once. Mothers should also bear in mind that croup and sore throat kill too many babies to let a granny, your neighbor, or themselves treat a child. Assume no risk! Call your doctor, and if he advises diphtheria antitoxin, let him use it. If the parents of this county would follow these suggestions, money and lives would be saved and sickness prevented.
