ment was made by Vice President Moh-
Ter that extension work On the Harri-

cause of financial unrest which threat
ened the country.
Work will begin on the Athol hill

SENDING OF U. S. TROOPS
DEPARTURE FROM CUSTOM

WASHINGTON. June SO.-American
military forces are now in service for
the enforcement of the neutrality laws
along the Mexican border.
General Meyer. commanding the de-
partment of Texas. has reported to the
war department that directions already
have been given for the dispatch Of
four troops of cavalry from posts In his
department to Del Rio.
As to other points, he will be guided
by his conference with the civil officials.
The employment of American troops
for this purpose, by the way. is almost
without precedent in recent years, and
the law officers of the war department,
as we'll as the attorney general him
self, have ben obliged TO give close
study to the question of the extent to
which they may exercise the power of
preventing persons from entering the
United States across the Mexican
border.
Under the law no passports are re-
quired, except In the case of Chinese
and Japanese, and about the only other
reasonable ground for detention of fu-
gitives seeking to cross the line would
be some presumable violation of the
immigration or health inspection laws.
VIII Be Delicate Task
So il will be a delicate task for the
army officers who are charged with the
duty of policing this international boun-
Diary line to avert clashes with the civil
courts II they undertake to make pro-
miscuous arrests of persons fleeing from
Mexico into the United States.
Frequent conferences were held dur

of the situation with Acting Secretary

also that some OF the most valuable in

NForite Prescription for weak, nervous,
over-worked, rrun-down," nervous and
debllitated women, were employed, long
years ago by the Indians for similar
ailments affecting their squaws. In
fact, one of the most valuable medic

ton was known to the Indians as
~Squaw-Weed Our knowledge of the
uses of not few of our most valuable
native, medicinal plants was gained
from the Indians.
As made up by improved and exact
processes, and with the use of specially
designed chemical apparatus, the Fa-

remedy for regulating all the womarly
functions, correcting displacements, as
prolapsus, anteversion and retroversion,
overcoming painful periods, toning up
the nerves and bringing about per-
feet state Of health.

gradients used in these medicines, az
well as the working formula and pecul-

employed in their manufacture, are
