The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-11-22


 Dear Doctor: I am writing you of lady whose health is very poor. She weak, pain in the back every once in a while and pain in the lower parts below the navel on left side. When she lies on her back she has lump on the right side belaw the navel. Doctors here say it is stone in the bladder, in time have to undergo operation. There was four days when she could only have milk to drink. Her age is 56 years, weight about 112 pounds and height about feet g inches.
 (Answer) If the doctors who have examined your friend state that it is stone in the bladder she suffers with, I will accept that diagnosis as correct, still the lump she has on the right side below the navel is probably not due to that; it might be a hernia and should be further examined. Stone in the bladder developeS as a rule very slowly and may exist for a long time, perhaps years before any inconven- fence is felt. Like in her case there is usually dull aching pain through the back and during urination sharp pains generally run from the bladder, accompanied with burning and smart ing sensations. Often dyspepsia and other sympathetic troubles will occur Occasionally very severe spasms of the bladder may arise and last for several hours
 She should drink an abundance of pure, soft water as this will assist in washing out the gravel. Let her drink or rather sip slowly pint of hot water before breakfast and at bed time. Animal foods must be avoided and it is far better for her to eat too little than too much. Rhu- barb, tomatoes, spinach, grapes and

It is expected that the Republic Iron and Steel company, the Lackawa..n the Cambria, and other big producers of iron and steel will put the same ad- vance into operation They followed the lead of the Stee' Corporation when the other increases were voted last January and April
 While wages have increased B per cent, the prices for steel products have risen this year from 200 to 600 per cent. Forward orders on the books seem to assure the companies of ca- pacfty operations for at least a year, which means that the workers may look ahead to steady employment for many months.
 In voting the two previous wage in- creases, the finance committee of the Steel Corporation considered as one factor the rising cost of living throughout the country Presumably the same item had influence in yester- days action. If the findings of statis- ticians who have looked into food prices are correct, as made public on Monday, the cost of major foodstuffs has advanced nearly 30 per cent. in the last year. The B per cent. wage increase, therefore, leaves the em- ployes of the corporation 3 per cent. ahead of their position a year ago when they meet their grocery and butchers bills.

CONGRESSMAN LEE SECURES
A FLOOD RELIEF FUND

The eth district can again congrat-
ulate itself upon having an expert
enced and able representative in con-
gress. Learning Of the heavy loss in
the district from the recent flood.
and the suffering that has followed.
Mr.. Lee went to work with his usual
energy to secure federal aid for the
sufferers. On July Is, he and Con-
gresham Burnett introduced resolu-
lions appropriating money for flood
relief, and these resolutions were fol-
lowed by numbers introduced by 9TH
er congressman. After hard WORK
in presenting the situation to the
Military Affairs committee and mem
bers of the house, congress last week
appropriated $4,000 for relief of
flood sufferers in six southern states.
This relief will be distributed by the
War Department, but Mr.. Lee has ar
ranged for the Department of Agri-
culture to have charge of the distri-
button of seeds for quick maturing
crops to the farmers in the flooded
sections While the sum appropriate
ed will not be sufficient to give the
proper relief, Mr.. Lee says that this
sum was the very best that could be
secured. Unlike many other con-
sressmen who are at home campaign
ing, Mr.. Lee has stayed on the job
In Washington and has not failed to
look after the interests of the people
of the district.

WASHINGTON. Sept. S.-Extension nf the British mail censorship from its original purpose of destroying all trade to CT from Germany to the field providing data for Great Britain's fight for commercial supremacy is seen here in amendments made by David Lloyd George. the war secre- tary, before parliament just received in full in this country. Lloyd George said:
 It is the practice to communicate to other departments concerned any information of matters of public in terest which may he obtained through the censorship for such use to be made of it as the particular depart ment may consider advisable. The government is perfectly within it's rights in using any notification which comes to 1t in this condition for any purpose and national purpose"
 This statement apparently had been censored out of cable dispatches to the United States When asked about the matter tonight, Secretary Lansing said it had been called to the atten- tion of the state department officially but declined to make any comment at this time.
 It is understood. however, that the department will take a more serious view of Lloyd Georges interpretation and will protest more vigorously thar ever against Interference with neutra mails on the high seas. Although the American government has con

ATLANTIC CITY, \. J., Sept. s. Tho National American Woman Suf- frage association today reafflrmed it's policy of non -partisanship as an organize ton toward national political parties and defeated by an over Whelming vote an attempt to place the association on record as in favor of supporting national candidates who pledge their support to the proposed equal rights amendment to the fed eral amendment.
 The resolution provoked a long and warm debate in which these denials were supplemented by declarations that the resolution was non partisan and that it was not aimed at Presi- dent Wilson who had not come out in support of the federal amendment
 Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary president, was vehement in her de- nunciation of the resolution.
 She supported other speakers who said the passage of the resolution would hurt the suffrage cause all over the United States. She drew atten- tion to the fact that President Wilson favors woman suffrage and voted for 1t in his own state.
 After the resolution was defeated the convention adopted a resolution reaffirming it's non-p partisan attitude toward national political parties. The resolution also stated that this policy did not preclude the right of any member of the association from work ing against the election of any can didate of women states where they have the right to vote that the reso- lution introduced in the convention several days ago by President Carrie Chapman Catt that the immediate and principal aim of the association was | the passage of the federal amendment ard that all state work was only pre- paratory thereto was withdrawn.
