Forty-four Democrats and three Republicans voted for Brandeis’ Re- publicans and one Democrat— Senator Newlands of Nevada, op- posed him. Senator Newlands ex- plained his negative vote with an expression of opinion that Bran- deis did not possess a judicial tem- eonfirmation. Twenty-one perament. Senators Stone and Reed of Mis- sour and Senator Lewis of Illinois were among the Democrats who voted for Brandeis. Senator Sher- man of Illinois and Senator Clarke of Arkansas were among the ab- sentees. By previous agreement the vote was taken in executive session without debate. Reports were submitted, however, by the major- ity and minority members of the Committee on Judiciary, which for several months conducted a public investigation of Brandeis’ fitness. The majority report recom- mending confirmation was signed by Senators Culberson, Overman, Chilton, O°Gorman, — Fletcher, Reed, Ashurst, Shields, Walsh and Smith of Georgia, all Democrats, while the following Republicans of the committee objected to con- firmation: Clark of Wyoming, Nelson, Dillingham, Sutherland, Brandegee, Borah, Cummins and Works.

June 4.— Representative Igoe of St. Louis, acting for the Judiciary-commit- tee, has reported favorably to the House the bill giving the Supreme Court an extra week of work by Shortening the vacation period and convening court on the first Monday in October instead of the second Monday. The bill also provides — for chages in the law to enable the court to speed up its work and, among other things, do away with appeals from courts of the Philip- pine Islands and leaving judg-| ments in that jurisdiction subject to review upon certiorari only. The. bill does not deprive the Su- preme Court of power to review any cause which may be taken there under existing laws, but it limits cases which may go as of right. Operations Free to Recruits. Philadelphia, June 3—To help along -the cause of preparedness by increasing the number of en- listments in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, surgeons at the Jef- ferson Hospital, this city, have an- nounced they will remove, through minor operations and without charge, disqualifying de- fects in applicants that can be remedied by the use of the knife. Many men are rejected who might be saved to the service through a simple surgical operation the Jefferson doctors have found.

After the death of Mr. John Radford the postoffice was cared for by his son, Cap. Radford. Owing to the jfact that. the salary attached to this office being small no one wanted the job and the Depart- ment was compelled to discon- tinue, Mail which heretofore was han- dled by the Johnstown postoffice will in the future be handled by carrier on route 35 out of Mont- rose and perhaps a portion will go through the Urich and Spruce postoffices.—Montrose Recorder, Supreme Court Rules on Drug . Act. Washington, June 5.—The su- preme court today interpreted the Harrison federal drug act of 1914, making it unlawful for any person not registered under the aw to have opium in his possession, as applying only to those who deal in | the drug and not to those who use lit. Government officials have de- claved that this interpretation of the law would ruin the effective- | ness of the measure to a large ex- | ; tent.

It is best to start cept for special reasons no child should be nursed longer than one year, The food formula for a weaning jchild, especially if it has had no bottle feeding previously, should ;be the one used for a somewhat younger child, according to Dr. M. P. Ravenel of the department of Preventive Medicine at the Uni- versity of Missouri at Columbia. For example: Cream, 9 ounces; skimpied milk, 27-ounees; boiled | water, 12 ounces and milk sugar, 4 1-2 level tablespoonfuls, If the child has had some bét- tle feeding previously, the whole milk may be substituted, and a formula of something like the fol- lowing used: Whole milk, 36 ounces: boiled water, 12 ounces and sugar 6f milk, 4 1-2 table- spoonfuls. The strength of this mixture may be gradually increased by substituting whole milk for the boiled water at the rate of two ounces each month, until the child is about thirteen months old, when the water may be omitted from the formula at the rate of one ounce per week. The milk sugar may also be.omitted from the formula by degrees at the rate of a tablespoonful a month, One of the best indications that the on the part of the baby to gain weight, Lime water is also used in milk added to advantage when the baby shows tendency to spit up the food, or if its movements are too frequent and green in color. It is usually added in the propor- tion of one-fifth of the cream and skimmed milk. The lime water should replace an equal amount of boiled water, the milk remaining the same.

WOMEN BETTING ON SUFFRAGE Society Women Wager Sums That Suffrage Planks Will be in Party Plat- ; forms. St. Louis club and society wo- men are betting thousands of dol- lars that suffrage planks will be placed in both the Republican and Democratic platforms at the con- ventions in St. Louis and Chicago. Prominent leaders refused Wednesday ‘to estimate the amount of money that has been wagered, but did not deny that betting was general. A suffrage leader explained that it was éasy to place a bet either way, and that at many of the Social gatherings and at teas, betting on the suffrage plank was the chief topic. Several bets were more than $100, she said. Some of the women are betting as high as 3 to 1 that both parties will include a suffrage plank. Mrs. William C. Fordyee, who will be one of the St. Louis women to attend the Republican conven- tion at Chicago, when asked-about the report that wagers were being made on the chances of suffrage, said: , “The Congressional Union pro- poses to meet man on his own ground. We are going to Chicago to win what only is our right. As to women placing wagers, I, can see no harm in it if a woman wishes to make a vet. I believe a woman has a right to bet on pol- ities, or anything else for that matter, as long as men do it.” Mrs. George Gellhorn, who also will go to Chicago, said regarding the report: “I certainly hope our members are hetting right.’? She would not say which she thought the “right’’ way to bet. The principal difficulty among feminine bettors, it is understood, is the finding of Stakeholders. Most of the wotnen, who are not betting themselves, decline to hold the bets. One prominent woman, ‘who is in trade,”’ says she is holding bets that will amount to several hun- dred dollars. Most of the women are loyal to the cause and_ will take only the short end of the fodds, wagering that the suffrage plank will win. Others, who have more money at their disposal, are out to make a ‘“‘eleanup”’ and are offering fancy odds that suffrage will go down to defeat, Many women, prominent in go- cial, civie and political activities, have been asked the question if there is a general betting on how they ‘will ‘‘stack up’? after the conventions are over. Many were noncommittal. Others denied there was betting going on. Some, not for publication, said CONVENTION. Wescott of New Jersey Will Place Wilson in Nomination.
