Washington, June 3? Investi*
\ gation o I the bomb explosions in
eight cities which were intended
to kill public men, has convinc
ed secret service chiefs here that
the outrages had a common
source, and that they probably
can be classed as an unsuccess
ful attempt on the part of a stilh
unknown anarchistic group to]
resume a campaign of terrorism
begun with the May Day at
tempt to deliver a series of in
fernal machines through the
mails out Of New York. '
Washington police today de
voted their efforts to re assembl
ing fragments of the man who
was killed last night at the door
of Attorney General Palmer's
home while attempting to plant
his cargo of explosives. Mr.
Palmer himself dismissed the. in
cidents today as "utter failure to
terrorize the country and stay
the hand of the government,"
whtch purposes he ascribed to
the authors of the outrages.

The diarrheal diseases of child*
ren, commonly -kuown &s sum
mer bowel complaints, ore be
ing reported from many sections
of. North Carolina. The State
Board of Health states that this
class of diseases is not caused by
influenza, and is beiti? common
ly reported, and that there is no
direct connection between the
two infections. Infant diarrhea
is an infectious disease and it
caused this year^as it has always
been caused, by improper feed
ing and lack .of sanitation about
the home. Errors of diet are
mainly responsible for stalling
the condition which is a serious
one and kills more than 2,000
babies each year; a diet contain
ing too much sugar (proprietary
fcods, as a role, come under this
class) being the most usual
cause. Too much such sugar
upsets the baby's digestive tract
and predisposes to ttte infectious
forms of ^rrhea which was
transmitted Jiyflie* from open
privies and soiled napkins or
spread by strawberries and other
vegetables.
