The coming regular session, which

Cure for Sick.Headache.

We had a letter the other day
from a lady in the town of Boulder
Colo, that should be of interest to
people who are troubled with spells
of sick headache. She writes that
she had these spells about four times
a week, was obliged to go to bed and
remain there from to 10 hours
each time. Had been troubled this
way for several years. and the at
tacks became more frequent. Doc
tors done her no good, she tried
dieting, as every body said it was
from her stomach. Seeing an adver-
tisement of DR.. Gums Improved
Liver Pills, which said. they cure
sick headache by removing the
cause, she decided to try one more,
and sent so cents for two boxes. She
said she had taken the last pill more
than 4 months ago, has not had a
sick spell of any kind for over 5
months. Druggists sells these pills
for 25c per box. 1t only takes one
for a dose, they cure sick headache
every time.

inch Nearly all would be glad to
see American troops come over the
border in case of general uprising;
but one and all are agreed that the
instant an American armed force
sets foot on Mexican soil, even at
the invitation of the Mexican govern
ment, then is the Diaz government
doomed and the United States plung-
ed into war with the revolutionary
government which will succeed 1t.
This act will be the one thing neces.

and precipitate the great uncertain
mass into an insanely patriotic sup
port of the cause of Mexican inde-
pendence against American aggres.

leaders know this, and so they are
forcing an anti-American revolt OF
such a size that the United States
will be forced to protest the lives
and property of her citizens with
arms.
The outlook is very dark, and the
one hope is in the iron hand of Don
Porfirio. With his rurales, the wild
riders and former bandits, whom he
has formed into body of policemen,
who keep order in the vast domain,

WIFE NEED NOT
TELL HUSBAND
EVERYTHING
LBY HELEN GoLDFIELnl

If she REALIZES that she has borne him
off as prize from her less favored
sisters. But he must not allow even
the suspicion to enter her mind that
he harbors a regret for the past, or
that he takes her because some one
else would not have him.
AS for the man, he always wants
to feel sure that the woman of his
choice never has loved, and never
will, nor can, love any one but him
self. Which is why the newly en-
gagged lover is given to asking again
and again; did you ever love any
other MANI" To which query the
woman who is wise will answer dis
creetly, without incriminating admis-
sions.
But above all it is unwise for any
woman to become confidential and
show her husband old love letters
In the first place it is dishonorable,
since, when q man asks a woman to
marry him, he pays her the biggest
compliment in his power, and If she
refuses him she at least is bound
not to boast of her victory. Then,
also, more self-interested motive
should control her and keep her ST.
lent. A husband rarely is we'll in
clined toward the man who has made
love to his wife even before he came
upon the scene. He always has
sense of injury when his wife speaks
of the other man kindly, and, while
he may say but little the fact re-
mains that he does not like it. So
the less a woman tells her husband
of her old love affairs the better for
her and for him.

had occurred the negro was gone
Without thinking of immediate as

ran to the scene hurried after the ne.
gro and police assistance. Nearly a
hundred citizens were soon on the
scene and directing the plans for cap

night long and are still trying to locate
him.
Miss Burlington, who was taken to
the house of neighbor, and revived
from the shock, was unable to give a

employe of the Andrews Furniture
company, whose son having been pain

unusually badly lacerated foot and
leg, has Informed Dr. w. H Goodrich,
the attending physician, that he would
allow a square foot of his skin to be
taken from his thigh and grated on
the leg of his son.
Mr.. Johnson had been apprised of
his sons serious condition, and rath-

member, he instantly offered his body,
so to speak, as a means of saving
the boys leg.
He stated that he was very willing
to endure the pain incident to the pro
cess of removing twelve inches of
skin, knowing, too, that he would be
necessarily confined to the hospital
for several weeks afterwards.
The operation is scheduled to occur
next Tuesday afternoon at the city
hospital, when large number of sur
geons and physicians of this city will
be present to witness the unusual sur
gical feat. The lad, Hammond John
son, will not be able to walk on the
injured leg until six or eight weeks
after the skin has been grated.
Immediately after the accident the
Enterprise mill authorities had the
boy conveyed to the city hospital and
have seen that he received the best

on Tuesday will be borne by them.
