It seems safe to predict a Republican Legislature which will elect two United States Senators, but the Demo crats, apparently. have excellent chance of electing a state ticket and members of Congress.

BAY STATE ELECTS FOSS Continued from First PIC. the closa of the polls the result hung in tha balance. Republican refused to concede the defeat of Lloutenant-Gor-srnor Frothingham lata tonight, and It waa Intimated that a tate-wld re count might be necessary. In tha Republican campaign speeches, orators urged Frothlngham's election on the ground that tbe National Ad ministration should be supported In Its tariff policy, and that a Democratic victory would mean a blow to tbe tex tile Industries In the state. Governor Foss placed his record be fore tba people and asked for support. It was expected that the total rot would fall off considerably, but tha average was well maintained. Both branches of th Legislature, apparently, are Republican. Governor Fosa Issued tha following statement tonight: -Tha people have won their aecond great victory over machine rule In spite of the most scandalous boodla campaign ever waged In this state. "Massachusetts hss spoken unmis takably for an honest revision of tha tariff and for a business administra tion of the commonwealth. -Tha National significance of this election la Inestimable; tha rest of the country will follow the lead of Maasa chusetts." No eflort had been made to tabulate tha results for tbe other four on the state ticket, but meager returns Indi cated that the four Republican candi dates Secretary of State Langtry. 7rMiurr Stevens. Auditor White and Attorney-General Swift, were slightly sbead of tbeir Democratic opponents. Governor Fosa with a vote of eO.170 aa compared with the 15.651 given htm Uat year, carried Boston by 11.47L Th rot In Boston for Frothingham was somewhat In excess of that for Gov ernor Draper last year. This reduced jlr. Foss Boston majority from that of last year by 7. legislative returns tsbulated up to midnight Indicated that the Republi can bad lost one seat In tha Slate Sen ate, but bad gained 10 places la tha Hoasa Majority of Governor- Tarty Is Lost and Executive's Fresldcntlul Koora Is GlTen a Severe Jolt at the Same Time. NEWARK. N. J- Ho-. T. (Special.) Republican today swept out tbe Demo cratic majority In tha Legislature and now control that body by ten majority. What Is of mora Interest! nationally, at this time, they also administered a ter rific blow to the Presidential aspira tions of Gorernor Wilson. , Tha particular significance of this result Is that tha opponents of Wood row Wilson for the Presidential nomi nation will attach to it a repudiation of the Democracy of the New Jersey Governor and redouble their energies to undermine his present strength as tha leading candidate for Democratc Na tional leadership next year. James amltl.. ruler of New Jersey De mocracy, hss sought to repudiate the Wilson brand of Democracy. Wilson had high hopes of gaining control of the Legislature, claiming that he de sired to effect radical reforms in the corporation laws of the state and wlp out th atlg-na attaching to New Jersey as "the mother of trusts." Staunch friends of Governor Wilson tonight maintain that the result will have no perceptible bearing upon his chances for the Democratlo nomination. They say th vote would have been the same today regardless of who or what the candidates were or represented. Governor Wilson has had some bitter experiences with his own party. Every day that he baa been absent from the state his pay has been docked and he baa met persistent opposition In every form from the Democrat leaders of bis own household.

The whole world has much to teach us about new foods and new ways of preparing old foods, but we do not listen. Meanwhile our own foods are not treated with proper respect. The real smoked ham has disappeared. Only a few know how much better sweet butter is than salt. We put fowls in cold storage without drawing them. We do not let. our fruit ripen on the tree. If we only knew how, our food would not only cost us much less, but would be infinitely pleasanter to eat. This is the message of Henry T.

That the dandruff germ Is responsible for nearly all the diseases to which the scalp Is heir, as well as for baldness and pre mature sray hair, is a well-known fact, but when we realise that it Is also Indirectly responsible for many of the worst cases of catarrh and consumption, we appreciate the Importance of any agent -that will destroy Its power. We are. therefore, particularly pleased to rive herewith the prescription which an eminent scientist states h has found, after repeated tests, to completely de stroy the dandruff term In from one to three applications. It will also almost Im mediately stop falling hair and It has In numerous cases produced a new hair-growth after years of baldness. - This prescription can be made up at home, or any druggist will put it up for you: 6 ounces Bay Rum. 3 ounces Lavona de Composee. one-half drachm Menthol Crystals. Mix thoroughly, and after standing half an hour it is ready for use. Apply night and morning, rub bing Into the scalp with the finger-tips. If you wish it perfumed, add half a teaspoon ful of To-Kalon Perfume, which unites per fectly with the other Ingredients. While this preparation is not a dye. it Is un equalled for restoring gray hair to lt orig inal color. . . Caution: Do not apply where hair Is not desired snd be sure to svold tonics con- ir-ing- poisonous wood alcohol V
