man Freeman.

Charges of assault and battery will
be brought against Policeman Cy
Freeman by John w. Taylor, whose
son, Wilson. was arrested by the officer
Monday evening. the father said yes
terday. He called on City Attorney
Rush Limbaugh yesterday afternoon
to prefer the charges against the po-
lice officer.
Wilson Taylor was arrested Monday
evening and taken to the City Jail to
be held for trial. According to Pa
trolman Freeman, the prisoner resist
ed and began to struggle. During the
alteration the policeman's coat was
badly torn. At the police station two
firemen had to come to the policeman's
assistance to take the prisoner to his
cell.
! The father said yesterday he wit
messed the arrest of his son, and told
him to go willingly. When his son
saw him on the street, he asked the
policeman to let him talk to his
father. The officer, however, Mr..
Taylor said, seized his prisoner by the
collar and pushed him into an auto
mobile to take him to the station. He
said he asked the policeman not to
mistreat his son, or handle him so
roughly.
Mr.. Taylor added he had several
witnesses who say the policeman
choked his son, but the witnesses de-
MED that the prisoner resisted. Po-
liceman Freeman called on City At
torney Limbaugh yesterday afternoon
to prefer, two charges against Wilson
Taylor, resisting an officer. and being
intoxicated on the street. The police
man says he has number of wit
nesses who can testify that he did not
harm the prisoner and did not use any
force until his man began to attack
him. Mr.. Taylor also said he believed
the treatment of his son by Police
man Freeman was carrying out of
threat made to him last Saturday re-
garding the treatment of his son by
the police if arrested in the future.
Taylor will be tried Thursday after
noon. His father will engage an at
torney to defend him in Police Court
Thursday afternoon. Fearing that his
son might have suffered some injuries,
Mr.. Taylor caused physician to OK
anime him yesterday afternoon. The
examination failed to reveal any seri-
Gus injury.

Food and Effect on
tuberculosis
By Dr.. Samuel G. Dixon
Commissioner q Health q Pennyfvanis

While tuberculosis is caused by a
well-known germ, we often have a
right to be suspicious of its coming
from want Of proper nOurishment.
This would seem to be a fOrerunner
IF the true disease of tuberculosis.
This want of nOurishment is to be
accounted for in several ways. The di-
| that is, born weak; it may have been
strong in early life but abused by the
use of alcohol, eating rapidly when
physically or mentally tired, or by
gulpng food without proper chewing
or maSticatiOn.
A plunge bath just after eating will
often arrest digestion. The drinking
of ice water during meal, or iced tea
or coffee, will reduce the temperature
of the stomach so that the natural
process of digestion is interfered with.
AS result the food is not properly
prepared for the organs to absorb it.
Therefore it is not taken up by the
blood stream as it travels through the
system Of arteries to build up the diff
ferent tissues of the body.
The increase Of tuberculosis of late
In Belgium, in France, and other war
ring countries is largely due to the
want of the things that nature de-
mands for building up healthy bodies.
We must have some nitrogen in the
form of meat or eggs or beans. We
must have some fats. And we must
have some StarcheS. Otherwise the
body will be partly starved and dis
ease germs will thrive in the different
tissues. This occurs more often in the
lungs than anywhere else, but there
is hardly an organ in the body that
will not. under certain conditions, be-
come tuberculOus.
1t is to be hoped that here in Amer
lea, where we have such variety of
climates and of soil, we shall be able
to keep up general food supply and
shall not be restricted in any of those
things which nature requires. They
stuffs, munitions Of war, and all of
those things that are essential for our
living.
One great drawback In fighting the
battle against tuberculosis is that it
is not recognized early enough for us
to combat it successfully. The recog-
milton of tuberculosis requires spe-
cial medical training. We have tuber-
culous cases finding their way into fed
eral service through various paths.
This is because we are confronted with
a great necessity to form an army
and navy in a short space of time, and
those responsible for this Onerous work
are unable to get special training in
diagnosing this widespread disease.
We who are unable to go to the
front because Of being too young or too
old. or physically defective, will have
TO take the responsibility of keeping
up the home conditions. We must see
that fOodstuffs are produced for all.
not only at home but for the faithful
and brave who have gone to the front
to risk their lives for the continued
freedom of America
