The total loss is estimated to be close

Fire was first discovered in the roof
OF the building, having originated
from defective 1ues, and in a few mo-

was a mass of flames. Owing to the
continued dry spell the buildings were

After ravaging the business street
the fire swept up the hill and de-
stroyed the Prescott hotel, owned by
Thomas Davey, entailing a loss of
$1,000, with only $1,000 insurance. Mr..

Congregational church was blown up
with dynamite, but too late. as the de-

San Salvador, July 16.-Saturday
night the S%alvadorean army again at.
tackled the Guatemalan forces at Plat.
anar and obtained a victory over
them, the Guatemalans suffering a loss
OF 1000 men in killed, wounded and
prisoners.
The Guatemalan army, which invad-
ed Honduras by way of Santa Fe, was
repulsed by the Honduran army. Hon
duras is making common cause with
Salvador.
President Bonilla of Honduras SAYS:
Honduras has not declared war.
Guatemala invaded the territory of
Honduras without previous declara-
tons"
Mediation Will Be Accepted.
Both Guatemala and Salvador have
accepted the tender of he good Off
ces of the United States
looking to a settlement of their differ
ences.
Honduras Is Forced Into It.
The fact that Honduras has been
drawn into the Central American con.
hict complexities the situation there.
President Bonilla of Honduras may be
compelled by President Zelaya of Mic
aragua and President Escalon of Sal
VadOr, both of whom are said to be
enemies of President Estrada Cabrera
of Guatemala, to take sides with them
1t is now known that General Re
galadO of Salvador lost his life in a
scouting expedition. He was in com
mand of his army on the border of
Guatemala, when he resolved to ex-
plore within the border of Guatemala.
He started out accompanied only by
The adjutant and a small escort, when
he came Unexpectedly upon a large
body of Guatemalan regulars, who
overwhelmed his force. Regalado and
his escort sold their lives dearly, max
ing a heroic fight and killing many of
their foes, but they were extermina-
ted. No quarter was asked.
The consul general of Mexico in
Tegucigalpa, capital of Honduras,
reports officially that in spite of the
strict neutrality heretofore maintain
ed by the Honduras government, the
territory of that country was invaded
by Guatemalan troops when a conflict
occurred. This invasion was an act
of war.
Honduras has more than {, 1000 mi
litia, mostly we'll armed, and will
prove a valuable ally of Salvador and
the revolutionists.
1t is not believed in Central Amer
lea that the United States will at
tempt by moral suasion to bring about
peace.
The Guatemalan revolutionists say
they will accept any president for
that country that may be jointly
agreed upon by President Diaz and
President Roosevelt.
Guatemala Protects Border.
The Guatemalan government is en-
d~eavoring in good faith to protect its
southern border. General Barillas,
who is admitted to be the chief of the
revolution, is still in this city.
There is great interest in the wal
and he public sympathy is with
Salvador, who is Mexico's friend and
ally in Central America, and with
Honduras.
Salvador has received an important
loan and is in a position to make a
long campaign.

How Good Food may
Turn to Poison

~ ECAY is not digestion, you
know, even when it takes
N place in the stomach.
IL Food decayed in the body
after being eaten is as dangerous to
health as food decayed before being eaten.
Food nourishes or poisons, just accord
Ing to how long it remains in the Bowels
undigested.
Cascarets are the simplest and surest
safeguard against Delayed Digestion yet
discovered.
Sold in a thin Enamel Box, half as
thick as your watch, which fits into the
vest pocket or lady's purse as if it grew
there.
In this round-edged Enamel Box are
found six small Candy Tablets.
One Of these toothsome tablets works
wonders for digestion.
Soon as placed in the mouth II starts
the Saliva flowing, which at once gets to
work dissolving it.
The Saliva becomes blended with the
Candy C~ascaret tablet, and from the
moment they start going down your
throat together they start working to-
gether.
Now what do they work at7 Bowel
work. Of cOurse-Digestion.
Most Of the Digestion occurs in the
lnlrty feet Of intestines that connect with
tie Stomach.
lhey are lined with a set Of little
nouns that squeeze Digestive Juices
into the Food eaten.
Inc Digestive Juices thus mix with
us 1000 Just as Saliva mixes with Cas-
oais' tablets, dissolving and changing
mat food into nourlshment, as 1t passes
along the channel.

The lntestines are also lined with mix
lions Of little suction pumps. that draw
the Nutriment from Food, as 1t passes
them in going through.
This Nutriment is then carried into the
Blood, and spread over the Body as
Brain, Bone and Drawn.
But, when the Bowel Muscles are weak,
the Food moves too slowly to stimulate
the little Gastric Mouths and there is no
flow, or too little flow Of Digestive Juice,
to change the food into nourishment.
Then, the food decays in the Bowels.
and in the thirty feet Of In~testines.
When this Decay begins the little sue
ton pumps draw Poison from the decayed
Food, INTO the blood, instead Of the Nutri-
ton it should have drawn.
Now, Cascarets contain the only COM
bination Of drugs that Stimulates these
Muscles Of the Bowels and Intestines just
as a Cold Bath, or open-air Exercise,
stimulates a Lazy Man.
Cascarets therefore act like Exercise.
They produce the same sort Of Natural
result that a Six Mile walk in the country
would produce, without any injurious
Chemical effect.
