STREET CAR STRIKE

From early on Monday morning un-
til Wednesday at ten O'Clock not one
street car nor one on the South Side
Elevated Line moved or turned a wheel
and more than six hundred thousand
people who use the street cars every
day in this city in going and returning
home from work and places of business
in the downtown district were for that
length of time forced to resort to all
kinds of transportation in order to get
about, over or around the city, for Chi
eago was tightly gripped in its great
est of all its former street car strikes.
But notwithstanding that fact, all its
bustling and hustling citizens, both men
and women, from the highest to the
lowest, were good natured and they
rather enjoyed the novel experience
which they passed through in getting
to and from their homes or lodging
places.
One thing must be said to the ever
lasting credit of the fourteen thousand
five hundred men employed on the va
rious street ear and elevated lines in
this city, that they to a man refrained
from resorting to rioting and they did
not commit one unlawful act during
the strike. Their manly conduct in
that respect won the sympathy of the
great majority Of the people residing
in this city.
1t was the untiring work or labor
on the part of Mayor William Hale
Thompson, who is looked upon by the
street car officials, the heads Of the La
Dor unions, the street car men and by
the vast army of working men through
ont the city, as well as by the small
business men and the great captains of
industry, as their new Moses, and too
much credit cannot be given him for

and the desire to provide a retreat and
healthatorium for the weak and dis
abled brothers of the order stepped
aside and gave its support for the pur-
chase Z years ago, which has since been
rebuilt on account of the fire which al
most destroyed Hot Springs in August
1913.
The property now owned by the
Knights of Pythians at 33rd and ;.
State street was. purchased 10 years
ago as a site for the great Pythian
Temple Building, since then this prop
erty has more than paid for itself by
the income derived from the rents to-
gether with a good interest on the
money therein vested.
At the coming session of the Supreme
Lodge at Columbus, Ohio plans and

CATARRH OF STOMACH; eAsTRIT.
Is; DYSPEPSIA.

As its name implies, gastritis is dis
ease characterized by an Inflammation
of the stomach, particularly the lining
membrane of that organ. There are
two forms, acute and chronic. It is
one of the most common of ailments,
occurring at all ages. The principal
cause of the acute and chronic gastri-
tbs is found in errors Of diet. Medical
authorities say that most people eat
too much, that many Of US dig our own
graves, fguratively, with our teeth, that
the platter kills more than the sword,
that more maladies arise from excess
in eating than from excess in drinking
and that most people eat too fast. Too
large a quantity Of food and too poor
quality often cause indigestion which
is known also as eatarrh of the stom-
aeh and gastritis. It may follow the
ingestiOn of more food than the stom-
aeh can digest; the undigested portion
deeompOses and irritates the mucous
membrane causing the symptoms of an
uncomfortable feeling in what is called
the "pit" Of the stomach, headache,
abdominal distension, depression, nau-
sea called "siek at the stomach -,
eruetations "belehing" which gener-
ally gives relief and vomiting which
also often relieves.
Another cause is the polluted and de-
composed foods, contaminated from var
ious sources especially the common fly.
The dirty habits of the fly are well
known; that it can carry millions Of the
little deadly germs on its hairy legs to
our food and produce dyspepsia. gas
tritis, catarrh Of the stomach and other
kindred diseases such as cholera infan-
tum is not 50 well known. 1t is the
dirty little fly that causes so much dis
ease of the stomach during the hot
weather. The public has long since rec
ognized the terror Of this pest which
is evident in the swat the fly move
ment.
Other causes of gastritis are abuse
of alcohol, a very common cause, un-
suitable and improperly prepared food,
too much of sweets and fats, the use of
tobacco, the habitual use of hot bread
and hot pastry, the drinking of large
quantities of ice water during meals

speculation as to what would become

been that 1t was not put up in com

at several points in the state are
doing much to obviate this difficulty.
At the present time there is a wide.
