LIFT ARMS EMBARGO
MEXICAN FACTIONS PUT ON AN
EQUAL BASIS BY PRESIDENT
WILSONS ORDER.
MEETS GENERAL APPROVAL
President Believes That His Action Is
the Best Course to End
the Trouble.
Washington. — President Wilson, by
an executive order, made public at the
white house, removed all restrictions
against the exportation of munitions of
war into Mexico from the United
States, placing the contending Mexi
can elements on a basis of equality
with respect to the purchase of arms
and supplies in this country. The ex
ecutive order emphasized that it was
the desire of the United States to be
in the same position of neutrality to
ward the contending factions in Mexico
as were the other powers.
The text of the proclamation fol
lows :
“Whereas, by a proclamation of the
president, issued on March 14, 1912,
under a point resolution of congress,
approved by the president on the same
day, it was declared that there exist
ed in Mexico conditions of domestic
violence which were promoted by the
use of arms or munitions of war pro
cured from the United States; ane,
“Whereas, by joint resolution above
mentioned, it whereupon became un
lawful to export arms or munitions
of war to Mexico except under such
limitations and exceptions as the pres
ident should prescribe;
“Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wil
son, president of the United States of
America, do hereby declare and pro
claim that, as the conditions on which
the proclamation of March 14, 1912,
was based, have essentially changed,
and as it is desirable to place the
United States, with reference to the
exportation of arms or munitions or
war to Mexico, in the same position
as other powers, the said proclama
tion is hereby revoked.”
Expressions of warm approval came
from both ends of the eapitol when
the news spread of the president’s de
cision to lift the embargo. To mem
bers of the senate foreign relations
committee it was no surprise, for they
had an intimation of it in their re
cent conference with the president.
Mexico City.—Many of the Ameri
cans resident here, on learning or
President Wilson’s decision to raise
the embargo on the exportation of
arms from the United States to Mexi
co, made preparations to leave the
capital for the coast.
Juarez, Mexico.—“ The Mexican war
w ill not last much longer.” Gen. Fran
cisco Vilal and other rebel leaders
made this comment on the announce
ment from Washington that President
Wilson had lifted the embargo against
the shipment of arms and ammunition
into Mexico. General Vilal was confi
dent that his ability to procure unlim
ited arms soon w'ould multiply rebel
victories, and equally confident that
the news from Washington would dis
courage and demoralize the federals so
that a speedy termination of the war
would result.
Farm Extension Bill Wins.
Washington.—The fight which lias
been waged in the senate over the
plan of distributing the agricultural ex
tension work fund of the Smith-Lever
bill ended in victory for Senator Hoke
Smith. The amendment of Senator
Cummins of Iow r a was defeated by a
vote of 40 to IG. The bill as had been
reported provided for a distribution on
a basis of rural population, and the
Cummins amendment provided for a
distribution on a basis of acreage un
der cultivation, w hich would have giv
en the state of lowa two and a half
times as much as Georgia, although
Georgia has a larger population than
low a.
Compulsory Education for S. C.
Columbia, S. C. —The Harper-McCra
vey-I.awson compulsory school attend
ance bill passed the house on the thtra
reading, and was sent to the senate
for concurrence. The bill permits each
school district, by vote of its resi
dents, to enact compulsory education
for the children of that district.
Women State Ages to Register.
Chicago.—Women citizens of Chi
cago turned out in full strength to
take advantage of their first opportun
ity to register as voters. Perfect
weather conditions favored a large reg
istration and estimates vary at from
150,000 to 200,000. Polling places
were made clean and attractive, flow
ers were not wanting. The requirement
that women registering must state
their ages, expected to be a cause of
some awkwardness, proved to have
been overrated as a stumbling block.
Women gave their ages nonchalantly.
Rockefeller to Pay $12,000,000 Taxes.
Cleveland. Ohio. —John D. Fackier
and William Agnew, deputy state tax

went to the home of John R. Rocke

and filed a written demand upon him
that he pay taxes on his personal
property, estimated at $900,000,000 in
to the treasury of this county. The

A Doctor’s First
Question Is t
“How are Your Bowels f” A Sim
ple Remedy that Guarantees
Good Bowel Action.
Trace the origin of the commoner
ills of life and almost invariably you
will find that constipation was the
cause. It is not to be expected that a
mass of fermented food can remain in
the system beyond its \ime without vi
tiating the blood and affecting the
nerves and muscles. It congests the
entire body.
The results are colds, fevers, piles,
headaches, and nervousness, with its
accompanying indigestion and sleep
lessness. There is only one thing to
do, and that is to remove the trouble;
and when nature seems unable to do
it, outside aid is necessary. You will
find the best of all outside aids a rem
edy that many thousands are now us
ing for this very purpose, called Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Many hun
dreds of letters are received by Dr.
Caldwell telling of the good results
obtained, and among the enthusiastic
letters is one from Lieut. G. W.
Vaughan, of 623 W. North St., Decatur.
111. lie is 72 and has had a bad liver
and stomach since he came out of the
army. He says he tried about every
thing, but never succeeded in getting
permanent relief until he took Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. He is never
without a bottle in the house, and he
is never without good health.

Common Form of Insanity.
A party of Clevelanders entertained
some holiday visitors and having
showmd them everything interesting in
Cleveland proper they had , to take
them to Newburg for a view of the
asylum. The superintendent was in
a genial frame of mind and he con
ducted the bunch personally.
“Here is a queer case, ladies,” he
said, pausing at a particular cell.
“This man has the delusion that he
possesses the motive power that runs
the universe. He is perfectly harm
less, but he actually believes that
without him the world would not
move. Strange notion, isn’t it?”
“Why, not at all!” exclaimed one of
the women. “My husband has the
same idea and he always has had it.
Is he crazy, too?”
SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren’t
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.
When you w r ake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ingjtoo much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowqls; removing all the
body’s urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the w'eather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft
en get sore, wrnter scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
cian at once or get from your pharma
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent litliia-w r ater drink.—Adv.

A little Danderine immediately dou

Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small

abundance; an incomparable luster,

Some scorpion bites cause little

But the more poisonous varieties cause

they sting young children or de

the well-to-do, because of their custom
