Pistols From Tent Colony.

Trinidad, Colo.-Strikers in the
Trinidad district, which included the
big tent colony at San Rafael heights.
whence the residents of the destroyed
Ludlow colony went, Saturday surren-
dered ~ arms of all character to the
Federal army officers. Among the lot
were some with broken stocks, burst
barrels, broken hammers, and many
smallcaliber guns and pistols.
The military officers were disap-
pointed by the manner in which
Colonel Lockett's proclamation of dis
armament was obeyed and determined
to give the strikers, mine operators
and citizens one more chance to sur
render their arms voluntarily.
All told, there were 725 arms re-
ceived by the federal commander Sat
urday in the Trinidad district. To
this number the dealers in arms and
ammunition contributed largely. and
citizens surrendered many hunting
guns and small-caliber arms. Very
few weapons which the army officers
considered truly serviceable were re-
ceived.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food

Indigestion and the attendant dis

tain to follow continued use of i'm
proper food.
Those who are still young and ro-
bust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, so will the use of
loss of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle Of cause and effect in
their daily food. A N. Y young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago I had a lot of trou-
BILE from Indigestion, caused by too
rich food. l got so was unable to

cines seemed useless.

Nuts food. praising 1t highly and as

up and strengthened my digestive or
gans so that can now eat anything

this disease have been formed in
Japan, the Philippines, India and Aus

national organization In China and IN
number of cities local work has
been started. While no accurate hg-
ures are available, those who are in
position to know claim that consump-
tion takes annually from 100000 to
100000 lives in China alone. In In
dia the death rate Is fully as high,
and on account of caste distinctions
and native superstitions, the problem
of prevention and treatment Is pecu-
liarly difficult. The Japanese govern
ment has taken hand ofhclally IN
the control of tuberculosis, and Is
cooperating with two well-organlzed
private associations. The death rate,
while very high. is lower than in
China and India. Under the direction
OF the United States public health

and that late developments in the rev.
olution had caused him already to be-

Mr.. O'Shaughnessy is said further to
have told the President that the num-

command is greatly exaggerated, and
that, as matter of fact, they number
only 1000 to G000 men.
Neither Zapata nor Villa would have
any great difficulty in taking the city,

O'Shaughnessy expressed.
His information is along the line OF
other reports reaching the government
within the last few weeks. Further
Information from these sources is that
Huerta has been shipping gold abroad,
in contemplation of his ultimate exile.
Washington.-S Stirred to action by

Parks was tortured and executed by
Mexican Federals, both the War and
State Departments took steps to as
certain the truth.
Secretary Garrison instructed Gen
eral Funston to get information from
General Mas regarding the orderly S
fate. simultaneously the State De
partment asked the Brazilian minis
ter at Mexico City to obtain similar in
formation from Huerta.
General Funston believed Parks has
been executed.
Secretary Garrison made it very
clear that drastic steps will be taken
If the reports of Parks torture and
death are confirmed.

said, then we will take the next step.
Ii he was tortured, it was an act OF
barbarism, whether war was on or not.
We do not want to make any mis-

not want to inflame the country. Con
sequently in all we have done thus
far is to ask information, for we feel
that the initial responsibility lies
