BRA1N.FooD NONSENSE,

Another ridiculous food fad has been

that one kind of food is needed for brain,
another for muscles, and still another for

ish particular part OF the body, but it
will sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, its nutri-
meut is destroyed by Indigestion or dys-

HUNTINGTON LETTER.

Our northern friends are fast leav-
ing us, as only Mr. and Mrs.
Harvey remain. 1t will not be long
before we shall be left to pursue the
"even tenor of our way. " Last
Sunday Deacon and Mrs. Stone,
the Ingalls, Brothers and families
and Mr.. Arthur Lane left on the
early train, and in the afternoon of
mother, Mrs. Wheeler,and her daugh-
ter, katherine and little son, John,
babe us goodbye. We shall miss
them all, especially John, who rival
ed the red birds in his little red
sweater. appearing in the most UNI
expected places, chasing the butter
flies, picking the flowers and some"
times quietly sitting under the trees
teaching his spelling lesson to his
rag doll, Rosa. Our visitors often
ask us how we spend our time in the
summer, and we can answer, that we
find plenty to do; that in fact our
recreation is occupation, quite the
reverse of May Twins late popular
song. We shall soon begin to pre-,
serve our fruits and are already rails
ing chickens and hiving bees and
nursing the stingS. and as time stays
not for busy people, the summer will
soon be gone. and we shall be await
ing these same dear friends with out
stretched hands and hearty vel
come.
We still sadly need rain.
Mr.. A. J. Smiths groves and those
in his care look finely. Mr.. Smith
has just completed small but pref
tv conservatory, which adds much to
the attractiveness of his pleasant
home.
Messrs. Clark and Braddock are
working on the Huntington estate
putting il in first-class order.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anger of Nashua, paid
a short visit to Mrs. Thompson last
week, and Mrs. Vandergrift, of Jack
sonville, spent the week with her
sister Mrs. Cheatham.
Mrs. Baker, who purchased the
Hicks place about three miles west
of the station, has cleared and fenc-
ed about IS acres of land, and has
planted a large acreage in rye, oats,
corn and cassava. This enthusiastic,
energetic little lady certainly deserv-
es success. She is not afraid to put
her shoulder to the wheel, and with
such beautiful house, hers should
indeed be an ideal Florida home.

1 Simply Did His Duty as Cuba's Ruler. Thurber Only an Agent.
 WEST POINT, N. Y., June 13.-Gen- efal Leonard Wood, ex-military govern or of Cuba, was asked for an explana- ton of the disclosures made by F. B. Thurber of New York in regard to the use of public moneys for the propaga- ton of literature bearing on the ques- ton of Cuban reciprocity. The gener- al, after talking freely in response to many inquiries, made the following written statement:
 ''I did authorize the expenditure Of $2,S00 and much mcFe, all for the pur- pose of presenting the case of Cuba and her economic needs to the Ameri- can people, in order that justice might be done to her. considered myself, as much as does MT. Palma today, in hon or bound to defend the interests of the island, and I should have betrayed the trust invested in me and failed prop erly to use the authority Ihad as mili- tary governor of the island had I not made every proper effort to obtain for Cuba those commercial relations on which her stability and prosperity as nation depend
 "Mr. Thurber was simply a distrib- uting agent through the New York Ex- port associations lists, which I used as would have used a directory to dis tribute such matter as 1 considered suitable to convey to the people of the United States a correct understanding of the needs Of the people of Cuba."

TROOPS CALLED OUT
Pawtucket, R. L, Terrorized
 by Riotous Strikers.
BOYFATALLY SHOT AND MANY INJURED
AdJutant General Reads Riot Act and Governor Issues q Special Proc 1amation-AfartiaI Law Not
 Yet Proclaimed.

NANTUCKET, R. l., June 13.-For the first time in the history of the city bayonets in the hands of soldiers or dered out by the governor of the state to suppress riotous disturbances glis- tened in the streets of Pawtucket yes terday.
 The astonishing increase in the num- Der of lawless acts directed against the United Traction company, whose union men have been on strike since June 2, and the inability of the limited police force and deputy sheriffs to suppress rioting induced Governor Kimball to call out the militia.
 Numerous scenes of disorder occurred during the day, and more than a score of persons were injured, one fatally.
 No cars were operated last night. While the militia is policing she city, Pawtucket is not under martial law. Mayor Fitzgerald, who has been away on his wedding trip, returned last night and is using his influence with the populace to maintain order.
 In the presence of about 1000 per- sons and the militia Adjutant General Sackett read the riot act The govern or also issued proclamation enjoin- ing the citizens to preserve order and prevent further bIoodshed
 Following a night of wild rioting unprecedented in this state in which a score of deputy sheriffs who were try ing to keep peace in the street railway strike were knocked out by stones and brickbats, cars derailed and partly wrecked, pistols used and life imper- lied, Governor Kimball directed AdJu- tant General Sackett to issue orders calling out two troops of cavalry and six companies of infantry. Emergency callsTwere sent out, and early yesterday the troops began to assemble at their armories, where they were placed un- der heavy marching orders and ball cartridges were issued.
 Before the troops could be moved the early cars began to run to Pawtucket, and as they reached the scene of the previous nights disturbance they were received by yelling mob which greet ed them with fusillade of stones and bricks. Obstacles of every kind were placed on the tracks, bonfres were started, and when the cars were held up by these and the deputies alignted to clear the track a furious assault be- gan. Women in the cars were peited with eggs and stones. Whoever got of the cars was held up and threatened with bodily harm.
 About 12:50 o'clock rioting began again on East avenue, the mob firing on street car. The deputies returned the fire, and three persons in the crowd were shot, one of them, Venner Peter son. fourteen years old, being hurt se- j nolsly.
