Affair
Cincinnati, May 30.—Not a v* heel of any
rar operated by the Cincinnati Traction
company Is turning tonight. The strike
of the newly organized union of street ear
employes thus far has been successful
beyond even their own hopes, inasmuch
as they have completely blocked all traf
fic and the citizens late today were us
ing every other mode of conveyance avail
able to rea<*i their homes in the suburbs.
Ar yet the strike has been a decidedly
peaceful affair, not a case of rioting has
been reported by the police. Traction of
ficials, while admitting that two-thirds of
their men had suspended work, contend
ed that they could have operated some
cars had they desired to subject their
men wtio had remained loyal to insults
and jeers of the crowds as well as possible
violence.
t The strikers on the other hand contend
that not only have they two-thirds of
the workers of the company on their
side, but that the remainder quit work
laic today of their own accord. Rumors
that strikebreakers from various cities
are on their way here are current but un
I certified.
The street car employes are striking for
recognition of the union, Increase in
wages and shorter working hours.

I Can Make Your Fat
Vanish by the Gallon!
I CONQUERED OBESITY PAST MIDDLE-AGE
^ I Ate Everything I Liked—Went
Through No Exercise—Wore
| No Special Clothing—Took
^ No Weakening Baths!
WI Explain My Simple, Speedy Home
Treatment to Yon—FREE!
I, Lucile Kimball, a married woman past middle-age,
attacked by obesity for years, finally conquered the
fat monster. Everything you ever tried, 1 tried. I
went through exercises, rolled on the floor, cut down
my food, gave up sweets, fats and starches, wore
elastic clothing, tried electricity, massage, osteopathy,
N. vibration, hot and vapor baths, swallowed pellets, cap
y\ sules and teas—gained as rapidly as I lost—and
^ A so would you with those so-oalled treatments.
# , A For years, my frlendB have asked me to tell them how I
vJl «ot r>d of fat and kept rid of it. They know that I eat what
^ 1 want—go through no exercise other than I get around the
l. , (J| house and office; that I am FREE from obesity, happy, healthy,
yt\j supple—and look younger by fifteen years than I actually am I
I was afraid that my Home Treatment might prove tem
y'l porary. I waited months. My fat did not return, and 1
/ waited years, but my fat did not come back. Still, I post
y poned. I tried my Home Obesity Treatment on friends. They
7 were equally benefited—men and women of all ages. And finally
I decided to reduce the obesity of fat men and women all over
the world, f $
(i You have figured fat by the pound. Your "methods’' and
"treatments" have attacked living tissues more than fat. What
did you gain? Nothing! Your fat came back tha moment you
stopped your exercise or diet. It did not go if you tried anything
else. But my Home Treatment is not exercise or diet. I say
"diet" In its broadest sense—not "starvation diet," not "excessive
diet," but diet of any kind.
Eat any kind of meat, vegetables, salads, pastry, fish, fowl, nuts,
candy that you want—when you want it. Drink what you want—
when you want it. I don’t interfere with your food or drink. No
l bending over, rolling,playing prolf,horsebaclc riding, doing exercise
\ of any kind. Sit in your chair at home, or in your chair at your
office—and the fat will vanish from you by the pint, quart and
wallon. It goes away rapid! . It melts from your cells. You feel
jjbetter—stronger. Beauty returns to women; strength to men.
fjy You never heard of anything of the kind before in your life. Every
body says, "How wonderful!" Itis marvelous beyond description,
& and it is absolutely harmless. It is so simple, you need devote
only three or four minutes each twenty-four hours to its use.
Spend Just One Penny
All I want you to do is to get my book. This explains
tbs harm of most methods arid treatments; why exercise
and diet arc useless. It tells bow I overcame obesity, how
I conquered fat; bow I rid my friends of fat; how you
can be free from the grip of tlie faf fiend. [ know that you
want the way pointed out for you, showing how you can
reduce the fat right, in your own home, boarding house, while
traveling or visiting. Don't wait. This book costs you noth
ing. It tells the how and why, and your name should be
among the first to reach me. 1 pledge secrecy and a prompt
response This Is tho key to successful, rapid fat reduotion.
Write today—Now! Murry your request -this moment! If you
lia'e been disappointed before, this time you will bo satisfied.

PETITION AGAINST
DENNY KEEPS HIM
FROM ASSIGNMENT
St. Louis, May 10.—It developed her1
today that the failure of the hoard of
bishops of the Methodist EjMsooi el
church, south, to re-assign Bishop Col
lins Denny to preside over the St. Louis
conference is attributed to a petition
against Bishop Denny presented by of
ficial members of nearly all the churches
of the denomination in St. Louis.
The board of bishops, at their meeting
in Dallas, a few days ago. assigned Bish
op E. E. Hoss to the St. Louis confer- |
ence, which meets next September.
The petition against Bishop Denny con- ;
talned a complaint that in 1911 he appoint
ed the Rev. C. M. Hawkins presiding
elder of St. Louis over the protest of
leading laymen.
As a result of the appointment of the
Rev. Mr. Hawkins, it was said, the ag
gressive work of the church in St. Louis
has languished and three building proj
ects \re*re not assured of success. lii;s
condition was due, it was stated, to la.*k
of co-operation, the result of a feeling
on the part of laymen that under the
administration of the Rev. Mr. Hawkins
they had been slighted.
REBELS DETERxMINEI), I
SAYS FUENTES
I
[ New’ Orleans, May 10.—“Revolution In
Mexico will continue until slavery has
been wiped out and the people effectively
establish a government firmly grounded
in the principles of social and political
Justice.’’
This declaration was made here today
by Alberto Fuentes, the former governor
^ of the state of Aguas Callentes, who cr
j rived here last night, en route to Coa
| huila to join Gov. .Vneustiano Carranza,
military chief of the constitutionalist
forces.
Governor Fuentes declared that a sen
timent favorable to Americans is devel
oping throughout Mexico because of the
refusal of the American government to
recognize the Huerta administration
Such a recognition, he declared, would
help to fasten upon Mexico the most
unpopular set of officials that ever at
tempted to control a republic In this
continent.
“The recognition of Huerta's power,
he said, “would be. a blot upon civiliza
tion, and shame to humanity, because
a power that Is a consequence of a
treacherous act and a double murder
cannot but follow’ a course of crime.”
He said a coterie of w’ealthy men of
Mexico City had tried to defeat the cam
paign for justice inaugurated by Madcro
| three years ago. but the effects of the
brutal murders of Madero and Pino Sar
rez had proved that the flame hud been
kindled anew.
"Mexico is aflame and no power under
i heaven can stop the fight that will not
end until Huerta and Diaz and all such
conspirators either pay with their lives
the penalty of selfishness or disloyalty
or are driven forever out of the repub
lic.’1
Governor Fuentes said h* firmly expect
ed the forces of Governor Carranza to
march into the capital by the first day
of July.
