DON'T buy glasses as you would shoes;
they should be fitted by specialist.
DON'T wear other peoples glasses; they
were probably fitted for other
troubles than yours.
DON'T let some cheap fakir tamper with
your eyes; call on a legitimate spe-
cialist who has an office or regular
place of business.
DON'T wear blue or colored glasses
they may seem to give relief, but
are really most injurious. The man
who prescribes them should be able
to give more beneficial results with
clear glasses. WE CAN.

Gratis. Senator MillikeD, for the pur-
pose Of putting the Democrats on record,

Green wood.

No wonder the question is asked II
nature turned out a more hardy brand OF
flies last year than formerly, since there
have been but very few days during the
winter when they were not conspicuous
10 the house, however low the tempera.
ture might be outside. And now they
are declared to be responsible for many
uf the diseases with which humanity is
afflicted, whether guilty or innocent. II
is hardly necessary to add that the mos
quito is included in the same category,
and with equally as much reason.
Frank Brooks has been yarding out
timber from Mount Abrsm until the
snow got too deep for one horse to work,
and last week he bought another SO as to
make span for the business.
Charles B. Brooks is we'll along in the
SOS, and is slowly failing up in common
with the most of other people of that ad'
vsnced age. he with his wife is living
with his son-in-law, John Howe, about
two miles distant, and while on the road
to visit his son recently he failed up and
was obliged TO call on a neighbor, and
telephone for team to take him along.
Before the deep snow came Herbert
Rings aqueduct froze up so he found il
quite job to thaw it out, and more re-
Gently he came very near losing his
house by fire. He used the basement OF
his house for grinding corn with gaso-
line engine, and the following night his
wife awoks him with the important
news that there was smoke in the house,
and be had better hurry up and find out
where it came from. Thinking of his
work in the basement, he hurried there
and saw at once what was going on. He
had left some part of the hot machinery
in close proximity to the wood work OF
the house, thus causing the fire in a
SmOudering form, which soon would
have burst into flame, and what the
consequences would have been if not dis.
covered in time is well known to all who
have ever heard the language of fire.

inquire who the author was or is:

will cook your food and warm you too,
And much OF your hardest work will do;
But give me power and I'll ruin you.

Mexican Papers
Scout the Idea
Of Intervention

MEXICO CITY, March 1o.-All the
local newspapers give extensive space
~ comments on the mobilization of
American troops in Texas. Practically
all declare that Intervention Is impos-
sible and would not be accepted in
Mexico. The public, however, is still
inclined to believe that the movement
of such a great body Of troops to the
Mexican boundary has a further object
than simply military maneuvers.
Many foreign mining and Industrial
companies are complaining on account
OF the loss of business and money where
the rebels are active. 1t is certain that
so long as troops have to be continued
in those sections the losses will con-
tinue, and Mexicans generally are in
iclined to fear that IL the complaints be-
come stronger Intervention may result.
II is argued that II the United States
desires to show a friendly feeling to
Mexico ii will move its troops to some
other section at the earliest possible
moment.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the $1,000 American residents of Mexico
are excited over the mobilizing of 10000
L nited States troops upon the Texas
border The news quickly spread to
mining camps and remote towns and
The Americans in those isolated places
are fockinE into the larger towns and
cities. In Mexico City and other towns
Americans are being asked to have
their names enrolled in organizations

formed for their protection

Agent of Madero Says
Powers Are Incited BY
DiaZ Man.
CLAIM INABILITY TO
PROTECT INTERESTS
Asserts This Was Reason Why
Finance Minister Was Sent
to Europe.

Accusing Jose Yves Limantour, Mex
ican minister of finance. of having IN
cited the powers of Europe, and par
ticularly Germany, against the Cnlted
States, by declaring that the United
States. Monroe doctrine or no Monroe
doctrine, would be incapable OF pro-
tecting American and foreign inter-
ests in Mexico, DIR. Francesca Gomez.
one of Madero's confidential agents
here. today said that the Diaz admin
istration is playing a double game
with the United States.
DR.. Gomez pointed out that the Diaz
officials, confident that the United
States would consfuer long before
sending troops across the border in
direct violation of the Mexican con-
stitution, have for several months
been in secret communication witt
such powers as Germany, on whom,
it is said. they could count for aid for
the federal government.
The assertion that Mexico could not
count on the United States to aid the
federal government may seem at va
rance with the facts" said DR.. Gomez
today. However. an explanation of
the situation as 1t really exists will
clear this.
Cannot Give Protection.
There are $500, 900, 900 worth of in
Corporated interests in Mexico to be
protected. More than half of this
represents foreign capital invested.
This must be protected The Diaz
government cannot afford protection
without outside help. notwithstand-
ing the bland, but unreasonable, as
surance with which his representa-
tives pretend to regard what they
insist on calling only a seditious
movement of a small, unorganiZed
body of guerillas.
The political situation in the
United States is well known in
Mexico. Leaders there know that
President Taft could not get even a
nomination after assisting the Mex
lean government in it's war against
the people who are not represented
Government leaders know that a
Democratic House of Representatives
would investigate should President
Taft intervene.
Will Only Protect Interests.
They know that President Taft. II
for no other reason, would not jeop-
ardize possibility of his denomination
by laying himself open to criticism by
Democratic House and the people of
the United States. as he would surely
do II he gave assistance to a despOtic
government against the people of that
government. The facts would come out
in an investigation. But that is only
a possibility-and hardly that. Presi-
dent Taft, in spite of the constitution
of Mexico will do the will of the people
who elected him and intervene only to
protect American and foreign interests.
Since the revolutfonists have gone
10 extremes in observing neutrality to-
ward all foreign property and interests,
there will be no lining up of America n
soldiers against them. If intervention Is
necessary because of destruction of
property and pillage, it will be a result
Of the acts of the Diaz administration
and his soldiers.
1T was for this reason that Senior
Jimantour went abroad to get, not a
loan, but assistance. from European
powers for the fast decaying Diaz ad-
ministration."

REAL FIGHTING TO
CONE IN MEXICO
War Correspondent With
Insurgents Three Months
Says This.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 1o.-According
to statement received from an Amer
lean war correspondent who has been
in the field with the Mexican insurgent
army for the past three months the
revolution in Mexico has only begun,
and it is gaining ground every day.
THE sympathy Of the people is with
the rebels" writes the correspondent,
land mon of brains and money are or
ganizing the fight with a determination
to win. Americans and other foreigners
have been treated with exaggerated con-
si1eration and their property respected
by the insurrectos. 1 believe that the
outbreak in Mexico should be cIassed
as a real rebellion of the people against
Porfrio Diaz and I believe that the
fighting which has passed has been
mere skirmishing to what is to come"
