You may also recall that the bullet has not been extracted from his throat. The fact is, the Mayor is the ob ject of utmost solicitude. The bullet is lodged so close to an artery in the throat that the physicians are afraid to go after it. In a man of his age the arteries are brittle and there is danger that in dislodging the Janllet an artery may break and the distinguished patient bleed to dea'.ii. In allowine the bullet to remain. there is the danger that it may work around and impinge its metal edge jpon an aretry. This is the cause of the solicitude of the Mayor's friends. His physical condition is ' being taken into account by the politicians; they say that in nominating him for Governor they would have to con sider very carefully the man for sec ond place. Yet the Gaynor for Governor boom is increasing. Daily reports come from up State of the formation of Gaynor clubs everywhere, and un questionably a practical and peris tent campaign is being conducted in his behalf. On the Track of Pellagra.

It is also said at -the laboratory that there is no truth in the state ment that the scientists are tracing; hookworm in pasteurised and con densed milk.
