bleed often during the day and I used to
put adhesive plaster aeross them to try
to keep them closed My toes would bleed
and 1 would find blood in iny socks when
the day s work was done. The skin around
the cracks was red and Inflamed. 1 wore
shoes one site too large on account of my
feet being so sore I used to become frantic
with pain at times. My hands and feet
used to smart.
“I suffered agony for four months. I saw
the advertisement- of Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and as a last resort I answered
and got samples immediately. After trying
them one night the next morning 1 found
relief. 1 went to town and got some Cirti-

commenced with the Cuticura Soap and

MEXICO CITY, July 29.—Spurred
by President Wilson’s demand for the
punishment of the men who shot
United States Immigration Agent
Charles B. Dixon at Juarez, and the
release of two other American pris
oners, President Huerta to-day or
dered an investigation of the case.
President Wilson’s peremptory de
mand, presented to the Huerta Gov
ernment by Nelson O’Shaughnessy,
American Charge d’Affaires. demand
ed the immediate courtmartial and
punishment of the Federal officers
who shot Dixon, and the immediate
release of McDonald and Bissell,
United States citizens, who were con
demned to death by Pasqual Orozco.
Huerta promised the release of the
two prisoners and the punishment of
those who shot Dixon. Dixon is now
undergoing treatment in an El Paso
hospital.
After O’Shaughnessy had left the
President, Huerta called in his
Foreign Minister and ordered him to
comply with the demands of Presi
dent Wilson. A most energetic cam
paign is now in progress at Juarez,
according to word received to-day.
American residents are delighted
with the firm stand taken by Presi
dent Wilson and express the belief
that if such a step h*4d been taken
long ago the present revolution would
not have been started and Mexico
would have been completely pacified.
White House to-day. believes media
tion in some form is the logical solu
tion of the Mexican tangle.
Notwithstanding expert opinion that
mediation should not be considered
and the views of Ambassador Wilson,
who yesterday informed him that In
his opinion conciliation of this kind
should not be attempted, the Presi
dent is determined. It Ip said, to try
mediation, first, either through a con
ciliating commission or by direct ap
peal to the warrng factions in Mexico
Foreigners in Mexico City
Await Next Move in Fear.
MEXICO CITY, July 28.—That
Americans and other foreigners are in
danger If the United States fails to
recognize the Huerta administration
in Mexico, is the opinion prevailing
here. While high Government officials
decline to discuss the Impending
crisis. Minister of Gubernaclon Ur-
rutla. who is generally regarded as
the mouthpiece of the Huerta Gov
ernment. has been predicting that
President Wilson will recognize the
administration by to-morrow.
It is believed the conflicting views
of Ambassador Wilson and the "test-
dent presage the announcement of the
plan for mediation by the United
States. The plan will not be.accepted
by Huerta, according to Government
officials, as interference by the United
States is unwelcome.
Disquieting rumors are being circu
lated freely. All foreigners are anx
iously awaiting the first move by
President Wilson.

There Is Something Compelling
About the New Suits
A charm that is irresistible in their rich, new color tones, their
beautiful materials—the inimitable smartness of line and fashion.
Everyone Is Talking About Them
and we have never before at this season had so many early hall Suits go
out of the house—which is further proof of their appealing style.
Good-Bye Fluffy Ruffles
is the erv as women see themselves reflected in the tall mirrors and
catch the true beeomingness and real elegance in these smart suits and
if they are going away or if staying at home the question of certain ap
parel needs is answered in a suit.
The materials are especially pleasing—all, or nearly all, are rough
weaves, basket cloths, eponges, brocade effects; also many combined fab
rics are used.
For instance: j
An elegant Suit of rich coloring and material has a coat of matelasse in bur
gundy color with skirt of plaid storm serge in burgundy and blue. Long cutaway
coat, draped skirt, button-trimmed. This suit is only $25.
The coats are much longer than last season, and are in cutaway
style; some taper to a decided point in back.
Among the leading shades are: Browns—from light, leather tones
through to very rich mahogany. Red tones are good, too—very dark,
shading into wines and mulberry. Blues, of course, are in favor and
many new shades are shown. t
From $15 to $65
—the prices run; and there are suits for all tastes, all occasions, from
the perfectly plain tailored model—to the very elegant, fur-trimmed,
two-piece costume.
We want you to see the display here now—for whether you wish
to buy a suit or not, at present, you will be interested in this show of
coming fashions.
