bath each day, and has begun drink
ing two quarts Of water every TWEEN
ty-four hours. The next step is to
decide upon her diet
I will only mention a few rules
which she probably knOWs-these are
here more as a reminder than as
advice. Avoid fried meats and vege-
tables-do not cut them entirely out
Of the diet if they do not disagree
but do not eat much Of them. Choose
rare, juicy meats instead Of dry
ones, eat as much green vegetables
and salads as possible, and all the
fruit you can. Fruit to start on
the day and finish the evening is an
excellent rule, for it acts as a gentle
laxative and regulator.
Avoid elaborate cakes and pies and
too much candy. Do without hot
breads as much as possible. Drink
but little coffee. and this in the
mornings. Drink tea weak, and with
lemon instead OF milk. Tannin and
milk are a bad combination.
Masticate well. and do not eat too
much. Eat slowly; try to have sur
rOundings pleasant while you dine

SIX DIE IN CHICAGO FIRE
Explosion Wrecks Building OF LInseed
oil Mil and start Flames That Do
100000 Damage.

Chicago.-Fire has destroyed the
South Chicago plant Of the American
Linseed Company branch, caused the
death Of six men. believed TO have
been killed by an explosion or burned
in the resulting flames, and occasion
ed a property loss OF 100000.
The fire started with an explosion
attributed to spontaneous combustion
Of linseed dust, which wrecked the
percolator building and sent flames
sweeping through the other four build
ings occupied by the company.
So intense were the flames and so
speedy were their spread that an oil
freighter. loaded and ready to leave
the Calumet River slip beside the
plant, caught fire and its cargo was
burned.
All the employees except William Mel
lies Of the percolating plant and five
workmen. who we're with him In the
building, were accounted for when the
flames were under control.

1872 LOST ON THE PERSIA
Robert MoNeely, U. 8. Consul, Among
Lost When British Liner ls Tor
psdosd Without Warning.

London-Three hundred and ninety.
two men. women and children, includ.
ing Robt N. McNeely, American con-
sui at Alden, were lost when the Per-
sia OF the PeninsulRr & Oriental Line
was torpedOed, without warning, off
the Island OF Crete. These figures are
based on the latest RdVices from Alex
andria, where 1853 survivors have been
landed. The survivors comprised the
chief officer, second officer, seven en-.
gineers, 81 seamea, SO Lascars and
SO passengers.
Out OF 81 women passengers only
II were saved. Apparently all the 80
children on board were drowned.
The survivors at Alexandria unite in
statement that the Persia was tor.
peodeod without warning. She sank
In five minutes. A majority Of the sur.
viving passengers and an officer de-
clare they saw the wake of the torpe-
do which sank the ship.
An official statement says the Per-
sia was struck by the torpedo amid
ships on the port side at 10 minutes
after / O'clock on the afternoon Of
Dec. 30, and that five minutes later
the ship disappeared. 1t is regarded
as miracle that any one was saved.
One report says there was no panic,
and that four boats were launched with
promptitude, but in view of the fact
that of $50 souls aboard only 15S es.
capped, this seems improbable. The
captain went down with his ship.

pepared. 1t was regarded as certain
that he had been pulled down by the
suction when the Persia took her final
plunge.
One OF the Americans aboard, Chas.

vivors, but other information received
here indicates that he and ]. W. Rose
Of Denver left the steamship at Gi'

Student slain From Ambush.

Memphis.-Harvey C. Foster, aged
81 years, a member of the junior dent
al class of the University of Tonnes
see at this place, was shot in the back
and almost instantly killed while
walking alone at night on Union ave-
nue., in the residence part Of the city.
The shot which was fired was de.
clared by eye-witnesses to have come
from a clump of park bushes. No one
saw the man who fired the shot. Fos-
ter had just returned to the city from
his home at Taylor, Texas. where he
spent the holidays with his mother
and sister.
Members of the police force who In
vestigated the murder advance the
theory that the young student was in
volved with a married woman and
that his association with this woman
may have led to the ambush.

WILSON IN CHARGE
OF PERSIA CASE
PRESIDENT RETURNS TO CAPT.
tai TO HANDLE DELICATE
SITUATION.
ALL FACTS ARE DESIRED
Statement ls Issued That the U. 8.
Will Act When Details Of the
Sinking Of Liner Are Finally
Obtained.

Washington.-There was no lessen.
ing of the tension in the new subma-
rine crisis with President Wilson's re
turn to the White House to take per.
sOnal charge Of the situation, but there
were marked indications of the presi.
dents intention to proceed carefully
and deliberately before committing
the United States to the next step in
Its already strained relations with the
Teutonic powers.
At the State Department the hope
was expressed that there would be op
portunity to settle the crisis amicably
and 1t was stated that the American
government believed that Austrias as.
Surances in the last Ancona note were
given in good faith.
Two points, 1t was emphasized, must
be cleared up before the next move is
made. II must be established whether
the British liner Persia actually was
torpedoed, and II so, what was the
nationality OF the submarine.
President Wilson's first act on his
return was to issue a statement
through Secretary Tumulty promising
the country action just as soon as the
full facts in the Persia disaster can
be learned.
"The president and the secretary OF
state are taking every means possible
TO obtain the full facts in this grave
matter and will act just as soon as the
information is obtained" said the Off
clal statement issued at the White
House offices.
The presidents second step was to
direct Secretary Lansing to gather
more information from the Persia sur
vivors. The secretary ordered the
consuls at Alexandria, Malta and
Cairo to obtain affidavits and at once
cable summaries of their contents.

Nineteen and sixteen will be a year
of many elections in Tennessee. There
will hardly be a month in the year,
with the possible exception of Janu-
airy, in which the minds of the voters
throughout the state will not be occu-
pied with politics, real politics Of the
statewide Democrat,Republtca order.
Every even year brings forth cleo.
tons in Tennessee, and every fourth
year brings more because presidential
electors are chosen every fourth year.
While there will not be any more gen.
eral elections this year than usual,
still there will be more primaries and
more candidates and questions to be
voted on, and consequently the voters
will be more disturbed.
Three unusual features will be add,
ed this year.
The first is preferential primary
by the Democratic voters Of the state
to select delegates to the Democratic
National Convention in st. Louis and
to elect national committeeman to
succeed Judge Cordell Hull; the sec
ond is the election in August on wheth.
er or not there shall be a constitu-
tional convention, and the third is the
general election In November for a
United States senator to succeed Sem
ator Luke Lee.
Following is the probable election
calendar In Tennessee for 1916:

OIL TANK SHIP EXPLORES
One Dead, II Missing, When Tanks
On Norwegian Liner Aztec Blow
Up At New York.

New York.-One man is dead and II
others are known to be missing as a
result of an explosion that wrecked
the engine room of the Norwegian oil
tank steakmer Aztec at a Brooklyn
dock. The dead man was a fireman on
the vessel and Ave Of the missing men
were members of the crew. The other
six were employed on the dock. Seven
were injured, three OF them seriously.
Most OF the victims were trapped be.
low decks and those who were not in.
stantly killed probably were drowned
by the water that flooded the engine
room through a great hole blown in
the side of the vessel.
The Aztec had just left a drydock
and the cause Of the explosion is un.
known, although 1t is believed to have
resulted from the bursting Of tank
Of 10000 cubic feet of gas used in con-
nection with the oil fuel for the en-.
gines.
For several hours after the explo.
sion city fremen worked desperately
but futilely to recover the bodies of
the victims. AS 1t was almost certain
that those below at the time could not
have escaped with their lives, 1t was
finally decided to pump the ship dry
before renewing attempts to reach the
bodies.
The Aztec was under charter to the
Inter-Ocean Transport Company of
New York. She recently arrived from
France and went into dry dock on Dec.
"a and was to have sailed for Philadel.
phis this week to take on a cargo for
France.
