“Those are very pretty,” her mis

“She name’ Artuhficial, ma’am.”

SECRETARY DANIELS ISSUES A
RULE TO BAR LIQUOR FROM
EVERY SHIP,
ORDER EFFECTIVE JULY 1
A Clear Head and a Steady Hand Is
‘Needed, Says the Secretary
of the Navy.
Washington.—Absolute prohibition
will prevail in the United States navy
after July 1 next. Secretary Daniels
made public a sweeping order, which
not only will abolisk the traditional
“wine mess” of the officers, but will
bar all alcoholiec liquors from every
ghip and shore station of the navy.
This order, constituting one of the
most notable victories ever won by
prohibition forces, was issued on the
recommendation of Surgeon General
Braister,
“The use of introduction for drink
ing purposes of aleoholic liguors on
hoard-any naval vessel, or within any
navy yard, or station, is strictly pro
hibited, and commanding officers will
be held directly responsible for the
enforcement of this order.”
In a statement Secretary Daniels
said:
“] am in hearty agreement w!ah the
views expressed by the surgeon gen~l
eral. There should not be on ship~'
board with reference to intoxicants,
one rule for officers and another and
a different rule for the enlisted per
sonnel, The saddest hour in my official
life is when an officer or enlisted man
must be punished for intoxication.
During the past week it has been my
painful duty to approve a courtmar
tial for dismissal from the service of
an officer for intoxication. He told
me that he never had tasted intoxi
cants until he did so in the wine méss
on the cruise. Othérs who have been
digciplined for drinking to excess have
made similar statements to me.
“Officers now are commissioned at
the éarly age of 22 years. Has the
government a right to permit this
temptation, which too often destroys
the highest usefulness of young of
flicers? [ think not. If there is one
profession more than any other that
calls for a clear head and a steady
hand, it is the naval profession,
MAN SLAIN WITH AN AX
P. 0. Bonnell Murdered in Sleep at
Milledgeville, Georgia.
Hawkinsville, Ga.—Paul O. Bonnell,
22 years old, was killed here as he
lay in bed sleeping. An ax, apparent
ly, was used in the murder. Harry Lee,
nephew of the dead man and who
roomed with him, is being held by the
police pending an investigation. Lee
is 18 years old.
The youth denies any connection
I\\'l(.]l the killing and claims it was
done by a negro. He claims he was
tawakened by the noise made by the
negro in time to see him escaping
from the room. Bonnell is survived by
a wife, now living in Florida,
Lee, who roomed with Bonnell in his
place of business, ran out of the store
at one o’clock in the morning and gave
the alarm. He declared that his un
cle had just been killed by someone
who used an ax. He says that both
were in bed at the time and that he
was not asleep, that he heard someone
in the store and, looking up, saw the
party, whom lie did not recognize, with
a large ax raised, and that the mur
derer dealt the death blow before he
could do anything, and escaped.

SENATE HOLD-UP CANAL BILL
- i
REPEAL MEASURE IS REFERRED%
TO SENATOR O’'GORMAN'S
COMMITTEE. i
Spectacular and Heated Debate Is |
Expected When Measure Is i
Introduced. ;
:
Washington..— The administration |
bill to repeal tolls exemption for all |
American coastwise ships in_the i':m~!
ama canal, which passed the house |
amid spectacular scenes reached the‘
senate and was referred promptly to |
the committee on inter-oceanic canalsl
without debate.
Senator O'Gorman, chairman of thei
canals committee, who is marshah’ngl
the anti-administration forces, an
nounced definitely that he \\wmd call
a meeting of the committee for next
Tuesday, Until that time, no dormal
consideration of the repeal measure or |
proposed amendments can develop. Al-’
thongh friends of the president had
hoped to have the canals (‘nmrmt-i‘
tee meet earlier, they decided to make
no effort to induce Senator O'Gorman "
to change his plans. They will insist, |
however, upon action within reason- |
able time after the committee gets
down to work. :
NEW CHIEF OF U. S. ARMY
Wotherspoon Appointed Chief of Staff
Succeeding General Wood. ‘
Washington.—>Maj. Gen. William W.
Wotherspoon, now assistant chief of |
staff of the army, has- been selected
to succeed Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
as chief of staff at the end of Gen
eral Wood's term, April 22 Brig.
Gen. Hugh L _ Scott, commanding the
troops at Fort Bliss, Texas, will be
assistant chief of staff.
General Wood will assume command
of the Eastern department, with head
quarters at Governor's Island, New
York.
The appointment of General Wother
spoon to be chief of staff had been ex
pected, as it was in accordance with
the practice of promoting the assist
ant chief of staff to the first place. So:
the interest of the army centered in
the selection of an assistant chief of
staff who might in turn sueceed Gen
eral Wotherspoon when the latter re
tires on account of age next Novem
-1 ber.
A short time ago it had been about
settled that the position of assistant
chief should be tendered to Brigadier
General Tasker H. Bliss, in command
of the Southern department with head
quarters at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
Later a report was current that this
tender was declined by General Bliss,

++++++++++++++l
Washington.—There was every indi- I
cation that the announcement of the |
reserve districts and cities by the r&!
gerve hank organization committee had I
given the signal for a determined.‘
struggle upon the part of gseveral cit—l
fes which were disappointed to over- ;
turn the committee on the decision |
and bring about a redistricting of the |
country, or at least a change in the!
reserve cities named. i
Under the law the decision of ths‘
organization committee is not su‘qect[
| to review except by the federal reserve |
board. This board probably will noti
be named by President Wilson for sev- |
eral weeks, but in the meantime it is |
believed that those disappointed with i
the committee's announcement winl
bend every effort toward paving the
way for changes. It was pointed out
that both Secretary of the Treasury |
McAdoo and Comptroller of the Cur- |
rency Williams of the organization |
committee, are ex-officio members of;
the reserve board, and hardly could |
be counted upon to reverse themselves, :
The president has given no intimation }
as to whom the other five members |
will be. |
The committee's plan was criticised |
in congress and there were reports |
of keen disappointment from several}
cities which were in the race for re- |
serve banks and which failed to se- |
cure them, Three members of the;
senate banking and currency commit- |
tee, two Republicans and a Democrat, |
found fault with the plan. |
REBELS TO ATTACK TAMPICO
Admiral Fletcher Predicts Federals |
Will Abandon Gulf Port, i
Washington.—Following closely on |
official advices from George C. Caroth- |
ers, American consular agent at Tor- |
reon, of the flight of the federal troops
from that city, came a prediction from \
Rear Admiral Fletcher that the im- |
portant gulf port of Tampico proba- !
bly would be abandoned by the fed- |
erals without a fight. {
Administration officials made no |
comment on the Torreon result and |
official sentiment is not likely to crys- |
talize until more is known of the bat- |
{ tle itself and its’ effects in Mexico |
City and elsewhere. !
| Mr. Carothers’ report of the fall of |
Torreon lacked detail, particularly |
with reference to losses sustained on !
both sides and the movements of the |
retreating federals, '
Torreon, Mexico.—Torreon, strewn |
with victims of a six-day battle, was |
| occupied by Villa’s rebels while the |
‘lfederals fled. The capture marks the |
climax of the first campaign of the |
revolution to oust Victoriano Huerta |
{ from Mexico City. It gives the Con- !
stitutionalists virtual control over the |
| whole northern tier of Mexican states. |
| The fighting began and was almost |
| continuous. At first Villa attempted |
| assaults on the strong federal posi-?f
tions in daylight, but these proved |
| too. costly, so the days were spent |
{in cannonading and the nights in as- |
| saults. ;
Positions were taken and lost time |
{and time again. Several night ati
tacks sent the federals scurrying frem |
| strong _positions, but at daybreak the |
| federals evacuated. :

HUSBAND SPENT
In an Effort to Bring Wife’s Trou
bles to End, and Finally
Succeeds.
® Myra, Ky—Mrs. Sarah Branham, of
this town, gives out the following
statement for publication: “I am 37
years of age, and suffered untold agony
with womanly troubles for 11 years.
For 7 years, I was all run down, and
was told that I could not live. My
husband spent everything he had, but
1 got only temporary relief.
A merchant recommended Cardui,
the woman's tomie, to my husband,
and he got me 5 bottles at one time.
1 began iaklng it, and before the first
bottle was gone, I began to feel better.
I took all of the 5 bottles, and I am
today as sound and well as any
woman, and fat and hearty.”
Such testimony as the above, which
is given unsolicited, speaks for itself.
Can't you see, lady reader, that you
are doing yourself, your family, your
friends, an injustice by not, at least,
trying Cardui, if you suffer from any
of the many ailments so common to
women?
Cardui is composed of pure, harm
less, vegetable ingredients, which act
in a gentle, natural way on the weak
ened womanly organs, helping build
them back to permanent strength and
health. " :
Cardui has helped thousands of oth
er women. Why not you?
Ask your druggist. He knows about
Cardui.
