STRIKERS ENGAGE
 IN RIOTOUS ACTS

Tampa, September 13.-Strike conditions among the cigar makers became intense here today, following two attempted as sassinations, and tonight the entire po- lice force, augmented by many special officers, is on duty in Ybor City, and the West Tampa authorities have also added more men to the police force and have called on the sheriff for extra deputies.
 Jose Cosio, of the J. Cosio Cigar com pany, and a brother of the secretary of the Clear Havana Manufacturers asso- citation, was fired upon while riding on a street car this afternon en route to his running board as the car was passing and fired point blank at MT Cosio. The bullet went wild but the explosion of the weapon scorched the intended victims face.
 It is presumed the boy mistook MT. Cosio for his brother, secretary of the Manufacturers association. He was later arrested, but declined to give his name.
 Earlier in the day Ramon Gallo entered one of the factories of the Havana-Amer- ican company and without warning com- menced firing at Jose Lairo, the foreman. He fired three shots none of which took effect. Lairo gave chase and his assail- ant, in fleeing, ran into the arms Of an officer, who placed him under arrest.
 Following these disturbances the en- tire police force was called out to quell slight disorders in various sections Of Ybor City, and number of arrests were made on charges of carrying concealed weapons Hardware stores report that they have sold out their entire supply of firearms and ammunition, and this, coupled with well founded reports that Jose de la Campa, one of the leaders IF the strike movement, has been making incendiary speeches, calling on all who had guns and would not use them to turn them over to him, encourages the fear that trouble will result within the next few days.

family physician is one of Gods noble- men and he has kept you and yours well for generations. It Is not the person who is at fault, it is the method.
 Our bodies are. composed of certain forms of lifeless matter and 1t is incredi- ble that any good should accrue by pouring some foreign matter into this body.
 The modern method of dispsling disease ris ably demonstrated by the physicians employed by the Electro Radio company at their institute in this city.
 At this institute these doctors are dem- onstrating that they can successfully treat chronic diseases and in the large majority of cases do so without the use of single drop of medicine.
 It Is to be remembered that these physicians are practicing under difficulty for the majority, If not all the cases they treat. are chronic cases, which have been given up by the other doctors. But 1t is something new; 1t Is something with which the public Is not fully familiar yet; the people have continued along one groove for so many generations that 1t Is hard to leave the beaten track.
 McConnen claims that he sees inven- tions transforming the world. Already there has been stupendous change and more amazing changes are shortly to follow.
 Slowly but surely the public will be- come convinced of the necessity of giving up the practice of ill-treating the body by constant doses of strong medicines and will adopt the more advanced theory of electric treatment, which aids instead of weakens the frame
 The Electro-Radio company have brought credit to the city of Birmingham by the institute which they have placed here.
 In the Electro-Radio company's inst- tute are the offspring of the brains of those great scientists who have sought to bring health to humanity. It is impossible for the ordinary doc tor in general practice to purchase one hundredth part of all the apparatus which the Electro Radio company have in their institute. We predict that in few years the ordinary doctors office will be a thing of the past and the doctors will collect together in different institutes where they collectively have the experi- ence of their fellow doctors and also have the use of an equipment which will enable them to fight the battle against disease in modern and sane way. The Electro-Radio have another mes sage for the public

Transforming of the World, Said Dr. Andrew Mcconnell, President Society of Universal Science Is Now In Progress By the Curing of Disease By Electro
 Radio Forces

The evolution of battling disease has great invention and the world is ad- vancing so rapidly every day in this progress that the methods of our fath- CTS are being cast aside as worthless and the old order of things is yielding to the new. We are very near to a most wonderful change-nature is full of amazing secrets that can be turned to our advantage; we have a few of them, but, compared to those we are yet to know, we know nothing. Up to the present time the most wonderful inventions which have been discovered have a commercial aspect, or tend to aid to the animal comforts of the hu- man race. But now, the great problem Is how to insure the health of man, sc he will be able to thoroughly enjoy these blessings. Within the past year the great scientists have turned their attention toward the ways and means of assisting nature to carry on success fully her ceaseless encounter against chronic diseases Electricity and me- chanical devices have been invented fol the purification of air and water Cur rents and rays have been discovered which are death to the different microbes OI QlScdSc
 It has been found that certain cleo tric currents, such as the Electro Radio, which is being used by the Electro-Radio company in the Farley building, materially benefit the human body. enabling the most stubborn cases of disease to be cured without drop oi medicine being taken. This current sends a pleasant and soothing message through the body which soothes and gently ex cites the whole granular system. in- creases the secretions aids digestion, and sends thrill of joy to thes ssensorium which fin its turn diffuses the glad tidings to every nerve fibril in the complex or ganization..
 The public has taken quickly to nearly all the changes that many great inven tlons have necessltated. The telephone the telegraph and the automobile hav' now so become objects of common uss that it is hard to realize that we have ever been without them.
 The public, however, have found i harder to reconcile themselves to new method of battling disease.
 The old family physician and the drut store are so closely associated with sick ness that man can't help but seeking their joint aid. To certain extent thil k right and laudable, but the good ok

This message is particularly to the mothers of the land. For the past four years the Electro-Radio company have been working on an electrical method of purifying cream and milk without rob- ping the milk of any of its nourishment. In spite of the fact that extreme care is taken at all the dairies, still 1t is feared that the most efficiently sterilized milk can still carry disease When this new apparatus Is perfected the awful fear of milk carrying disease to their children will be banished from the mind of every mother
 Electricity has been the master key which has unlocked the doors which have revealed nearly all of the important dis coveries up to the present time and there is no doubt that the solution of the med ical difficulty lies in electricity.
 The trend of science on all sides is - electricity. Discoveries made hour to hour point to one grand conclusion-the bedrock of nature is electricity. Life, force and mind are intimately connected with electricity. man, brain and body, is battery and the nerves correspond to wires. The power that drives this body is electricity. Life Is electricity.
 Medicines are hard hit on every side and the intelligent physician of today has practically stopped using them.
 The word health now means a normal supply of electricity in the body and the word disease means an insufriciency of that power.
 The pioneers of the '40s had a hard time to open up the Golden West and there were but few that had confidence in the resources of that wonderful country. But little by little they won their way and now it stands for the greatest prosperity of the United States. And just as surely as the great cities. of the west built up. so will the Electro Radio company build up until it will stand as lasting memorial of the first large institute which practiced the new method of cVUng disease.
 It will be bdt a matter of few years when the public will look backoon the days of calomel, quinine, strychrfns, liv- CT pills, stomach powders. etc., and these days will seem just as different as the days of stage coaches.
 Come now and be ahead of your fellow man. Each day you delay coming means one more day of sickness and one day less of health.
