KISSES, CAKES
AND FLOWERS
Showered Upon Stikc- Breakers By
Women and GirIf in Frisco.
TREATED AS HEROES
Triumphant Trip MaEe by Two Cars,
Manned by TwentyIMen, Through
the Residence Section.

Roses and carnations, instead Of
5rickbats and cobbIdsones, were fea
lures Of Thursdays run of two cars Of
the United Railroads in Frisco, man
ned by twenty strikebreakers, from
the car barns at Oak and Broderok
streets for distance Of three or four
miles through the business and resi-
dence section OF the western addi-
ton.
Stirred to admiration by the cour-
age Of unarmed strike-Dreakers in op-
Grating the TWO cars in the mob
crowded thoroughfares, women along
the route stood on doorsteps or leaned
from windows and waived handler
chiefs, clapped their hands, cheered
and threw kisses at the non-unionists
as the police protected cars ran slow
ly by,
On the return trip, on Sacramento
street, near Preside avenue, a young
girl ran out from a florists shop and
tossed handful Of bright red, long
stemmed carnations TO the platform
OF one Of the cars. Lifting their caps
and smiling, several Of the men lean
ed far out and caught the flowers.
The cars were halted then, while
young women brought clusters of car
nations and roses from tie shops and
Offered them to the mel.
Soon every strike-breaker had a
flower in his coat. The extra ones
they tossed to Assistant President
MuIaly, superintendent Chapman,
Chief Surgeon Coffey, Assistant Pur-
chasing Agent Finnigan and other Of
fcials Of the company, who were keep
ing pace in an automobile with the
cars. From a bakery shop in the
neighborhood a stout woman came
hurrying breathlessly, her hands full
of small cakes hot from the oven.
They were deVoured in a twinkling
by the uniformed recipients, and she
ran back to her shop and brought
more.
But the afternoons trip was not
all cake and flowers. A taunting,
jeering, bowling crowd of more than
one thousand strikers and strike sym
pathizers jog-trotted for blocks along
the sidewalks, reyiling the car men,
yelling frenzied threats to get them

or brick was thrown, but the guilty
man, OF boy, hidden in the recesses
Of the mob, escaped Invariably.

TO elbow UP" HIS GIRL
Tilted Lover Sends Internal Machine. But
Package Was Opened by Mother
With Disastrous Results


An internal machine, thought to
have been sent by a jealous lover to
Miss Kate Mccarthy, OF 447 East
Georgia avenue, Atlanta, exploded
when Mrs. Julia Mccarthy, her moth
er, tried to open it Wednesday night,
about 8 o'clock, and the explosion was
so terrific that the house was nearly
demolished and Mrs. Mccarthy pain
fully and perhaps seriously injured.
Whole sections of the floor were
torn up, doors were thrown down, fur
niture overturned, glasses smashed,
and the house wrecked, as if a cy-
clone had struck it.
Plastering fell from all the walls a
wardrobe was thrown ten feet and fell
across a bed, books were hurled from
one room to another, crockery was
shattered and a cook stove overturned.
Not only was the hall in which the
explosion took place completely
wrecked. but every room in the house
was partially demolished.
A section Of the floor which had
been directly beneath the place where
the explosion took place was found on
a lower floor.
When the explosion occurred Mrs.
Mccarthy was hurled across a hall,
and fell staggering backwards into a
rear room. There she partially re-
covered, and was enabled to make her
way out of the house.
The noise from the explosion was
heard for blocks around, and many
houses were shaken. Near neighbors
thought there was an earthquake, ana
ran frightened upon their front
porches to ascertain what it all
meant.
A crowd soon gathered about the
home Of Mrs. Mccarthy, and the story
of the frightful explosion was learned.
Near midnight detectives arrested
Fred Bush, connected with a produce
firm of the city, on suspicion.
Bush was in bed when the detec-
tives arrived In his room, corner
Whitehall and Mitchell streets, were
found two big pistols. Asked at po-
lice station about the explosion at the
Mccarthy home, he said:
Il do not know a Gods thing about
it except what Sergeant Lanford told
me-"
Miss Kate Mccarthy, to whom the
package was addressed, had gone to
the theater in company with man
named Doolittle, the business partner
of Bush.

Intestinal
Tt was formerly thought that the
stomach was the main organ of diges-
ton, and dyspepsia was supposed al
ways to have its seat there But this
question has been~much studied of late,
with the result that the stomach has
been found to be of little account, COM
paratively, in the preparation Of the
food for absorption. The most import
ant part Of digestion occurs In the up
per part Of the intestine, where the
food, after leaving the stomach. Is
churned and mixed thoroughly with the
bile and pancreatic secretion.
Since, then the intestine takes such
an important part In digestion, 1t Is
natural to suppose that failure to per-
form this function properly would give
rise to serious disturbances Of health.
and such, in fact, is the case
Intestinal Indigestion Is a not I'M
common affection at all periods of life.
and is especially prevalent In children.
The chief symptoms are hatulence, or
wind, more or less collie. diarrhna, or
more often constipation, or an alterna-
ton Of the two; and practical srarva-
ton, as shown in weakness and emacia-
ton.
The treatment Is mainly through diet,
but this will vary, Of course, according
to age. In an infant the problem is a
difficult one If the child is fed urti-
ficially, all prepared foods containing
starch should be taken away, and cows
milk, modified as to the amount of fat.
Lugar or casein 1t contains according
to the physicians directions, should be
substituted
If the infant Is nursing, the life OF
the mother should be studied, for the
state Of her health may affect the milk
injuriously.
In older children and adults the
amount Of fats and Of starchy foods
must be carefully regulated. Cereals.
pastry, rice, potatoes and bread must
be cut out Of the dietary for time,
or taken In very small quantity. When
eaten at all they should be most thor
oughly, even excessively, chewed, for
In this way they may De III great meas
ure digested by the saliva before reach
ing the intestine
The diet should consist mainly Of
milk, white of eggs, and the more east
ly digestible meats and fish. The diar-
rhpa or constipati ton should be regu-
lated, and sometimes the administra-
ton of Intestinal antiseptics Is bene-
fetal. Regular exercise in the open
air is of great value in the treatment.
The cold bath or shower bath Is often
of service, when 1t is followed by a
healthy reaction.-Youths Companion.
