The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1917-05-24

Dear Doctor: I write to thank you
many times for what your instructions
on Special Diet for the Thin, Nervous
Folks has done for me. I have gained
25 pounds in two months and arm
looking like a, different person. The
three days of fasting was the hardest
for me. The third day and night I
felt so weak and sick with nausea that
had to break the fasting by taking
the juice of an orange and felt bet
ter.
For the last three weeks I have
been troubled with strange sensa-
ton in my legs, worse in the left Leg.
When sit down it feels as though
I must move it. Am not troubled with
it when walk around. Ny ankles
and heels ache and feel tired before
night, even if do not rest during the
day. Do you think this is caused from
the change of diet? Have an aching
feeling in the upper part of my spine
when I work much with my arms.
Have taken the tissue elements regu-
larly. Maybe I should not take them
with the milk diet? In our first les
sons on Dynamic Magnetism, is it ne
cessary to sit in a chair? I can relax
so much better lying down. S. E.
(Answer). 1 am gratified to learn
that you have worked out through my
directions the problem of successful
home treatment of your case in such
a satisfactory manner. You do not
need to fear in the least that the
change of diet has had anything at
all to do with the. aches and pains you
experience in your limbs and back. 1t
has, instead, cleared your system of
waste matters and impurities to a very
large extent although of course, it may
require little longer time before all
of these impure substances will be
entirely removed. Look up in your
Vol. 2, the home method of treatment
under the heading Lumbago. Secure
assistance and apply hot fomenta-
lions towards the whole length of the
spine in accordance with the instruc-
tions furnished in that book. OBJ
serve also the chapter entitled Uric
Acid Diathesis. The proper selection
of tissue foods would also prove to be
an important factor in restoring you
to health. You would be wise to con-
tinue with them for some time longer.
Instead of taking ordinary milk use

East st. Louis, H., July 5.-The wax
department probe of East st. Louis
race riots, resulting in the death of up
wards of 100 negroes and four white
men and the injuring of. three white
women, was under way today.
Colonel George H. Hunter, chief quar-
termaster of the Central department,
arrived in the city as personal repre-
sentative of General Thomas H. Bar
~ of Chicago, commander of the Cen
fraI department with orders TO make a
thorough investigation and report to
his chief.
Alleged laxity Of militianlen is said

EHnnter,s Inquiries, it is said, viii con-
Ieern only the military phase of the
tragedy and probably will cover the
following points:
Whether militiamen watched, without
interference the murder of negroes Mon
day night.
Whether. militiamen fraternized with
the mob.
whether Officers in eommand of the
troops are to be upheld in their behav-
ior in the crisis.
There IS a tendency on the part OF
the city officials to place the entire
blame for the seriousness OF the riot
ing on the military, but this meets
With little sympathy from unprejndie-
ed observers.

Buenos Aires, July 5.-Argentine has
served an ultimatum on Germany.
From reliable sources, it was learned
today that note just dispatched to
Germany virtually asserts that unless
Germany makes immediate indemnifiea-
ton for past destruction Of Argentine
ships and grants assurance against fu-
ture attacks, Argentine will break rela'
tions.
1t is stated that the. Argentine note
does not include time limit within
which the republic demands Germany E
reply, but this limitation was omitted
purely because of uncertainty of COM
munication with Berlin. For two weeks
Argentine has been approaching the
point where she was ready to break. re-
iations with Germany. The crux of the
situation lies in the case Of the Argen,
tine steamship Protegido. The vessel
was torpedoed without warning and sew
eral Argentine citizens lost their lives
Germany admitted the sinking condonee
| it and offered reparation after an inter
change Of notes.
Then, after offering reperaticn, Ber
lin apparently forgot all about it; Some
time ago Argentine sent q Reminder

Militia out Numbered

Many of the charges made against
the soldiers are substantiated by eye
witnesses but because they were great
ly outnumbered by mob as well arIH-
ed as themselves, there is little tenden-
cy TO blame them seriously. Further as
tonishing revelations were brought to
light late yesterday at the coroner IS
inquest. Testimony by negro prisoners
showed there was a well organized plot
among negroes to make yesterday, In
dependence Day, second St. Barthole-
new s day. Four companies of blacks,
well armed, had been praeticing for a
revenge massacre for the killing of
blacks late in May which was schedui-
cd for yesterday When one of the COM
panies was surprised by police last
Sunday night, the negroes fired, kill
ing Detective Sergeant Coppedge and
percipitating the revenge riot by whites
which probably prevented yesterdays Is
alleged scheduled onslaught by the
blacks.
Where They Died
The finding of several negro bodies
in Cahokia creek yesterday and las;
night brings the total known numbers
of dead to ~. The police still assert
the dead are moro than 100. Figures
compiled by authorities who have been
constantly in tough with developments
make the total 10J.
Three white women were attacked
and seriously injured by blacks it be-
came known today. Mrs Maude Isom is
so seriously injured she may die. She
was attacked in her home by an uni-
Identified negro and badly beaten. Two
other women whose names are with
held by the police for fear Of further
rioting, are known to have been attack
ed and injured.
Chief of Police Payne today gave the
following estimate of total dead:
Negroes slain in streets and bodies
found, 81.
Burned at Broadway and Eighth
steet, s.
Found in Cahokia creek, 3.
Burned in Broadway opera house, 25.

He calls it protective measure.

Inquiries as to what. authority See

the statement that no patriotic newspa'

The new censorship is direct result

washington,- July 5.-America's spy
hunt today tended to absolve any navy
members from guilt in Spreading ad-
vance news upon which Germany mo-
bilized her u-poars to waylay United
States army transports
With new battle recorded-that be
tween United States provision ships
convoy and two German submarines
officials, however, were more than ever
convinced that Germany spread flo
tilla of her submarines to deal death
to Americas first expeditionary force.
This new battle occurred between
submarines and conveying wRrships
which protected big navy transport
bearing provisions and~gold to pay the
Sammies abroad. Officials said it was
possible this incident was that record
ed in United Press dispatches recently
which said veritable treasure ship
for lurking submarine escaped from
mines and submarines.
This navy transport headed for shal-
low shore water when the engagement
opened thereby making it less liable to
attack by the submersible. The two tor
pedoes were discharged, both going
wide of their mark.
The destroyer conveys soon drove the
submarines off.
What is regarded as further proof
Of this idea was seen in decreased sub,
marine tolls on merchant shipping the
past two weeks.
With only 20 ships sunk for the week
ending yesterday and 2s the previous
week. it was felt here that Germany
had called her U-boats from their work
