NEW PRIMARES PROVETOBEA BI EXPENSWEOKE Candifiates Picked by wl Bosses Go Through Just as They Did in Old Days. CITY WILL PAY $285,000. Under Former Law It Cost $40,000 and Larger Vote Was Cast. Complete tabulations ef the primary returns will not be made before Satur day. About ninetenths of the tally sheets from the 1,800 election diatricts in the Greater City have been received at the Board of Elections. The remain- tig reports will not change any resulte announced @o far. Blection officiala and practical poll- ticlane agree that the new primary bill, which wan passea over Gov. Sul- aer'a voto, seems to have served only one meritorious purpose—it reduced the wise of the primary ballot. In all other respects the present primary law te considered inferior to the old conven tional eyatem by election officials, The test was to indicate if there would be increased interest by the voters in the selection of candidates, There was no added interest, the primary returns mhow. POINTS IN OLD AND NEW 6Y8S TEM. One of the Election Commissioners pointed out to-day the following oom- parative elemente between the old and the new primary eystem: ments to show that the Blauvelt fas failed to justify ite existence, at least as fer as Greater New York is concerned. Of the expense of about $295,000 which the city must shoulder for an election in which {te citizens took no material interest and in which there was prac- tically no contests, the leading item, tho Biection Board saya, is the expe: for printing the ballots. Of course this expense is somewhat lowered because the ballots have been shortened, al- though nearly as much printed matter was needed. For each of the polling places « rental of $16 was allowed. The salaries for the eight officials was 90 a district, ‘There were other expenses for etation- ery, which included various types of tally sheets, statements, instructions to the voters and officials.

The strain upon young children dur- school hours is severe, and parents skould have a care that the little ones are strong enough to withstand this strain. Every child should be well nourished and the organs made to work naturally, otherwise permanently injured health will result, If the child is sickly, run down, u call it, nine times out of ten it focause of carelessness in protection from the weather. If the child has a cold, be careful of the medicine you use.” Above all, be sure that it ia pure, that it is not s mere compound of sti ulsnts or dangerous drugs, such morphine, slcolioh, etc, contained in patent ines. For a family medicine, a cure for the child's cold, a food for the little body, something that all giv vigor and stamina to the system, Father John's Medicine is unequalled. Its merits can be stated in such unqualified terms be- se it has been tried and tested for if » century, -since it was recom- wes by. the Rev. Fr.

The Honest Ballot Association, of which Dr. Taleo Williams is head, degan to-day an investigation of re- ports from the Bronx to the effect that Datches of ballots were thrown into the Doxes.
