DIAz. BIDS
FAREWELL

Vera Cruz, Mexico, June 1.-Gen.
Daiz said his farewell to Mexico to-
day. With his wife and other men,
bers Of the Diaz family, he boarded
the steamer Ypiraga, bound for Spain.
To his country Gen Diaz delivered
warning. Speaking to the little
group of soldiers, who had served as
guard on his trip from the capital,
the old man who governed Mexico for
more than thirty years by military
strength, declared that the present
government must yet resort to his
methods if peace is to be re-establish-
ed in Mexico.
IT am grateful to the army said
the ex-President, that I could count
on it To the last moment of leaving
Mexican territory. 1t is the only real
defense the country has, and to re-
establish peace in this republic, its
services will have to be called upon
in this crisis"
; Tears were slowly rolling down the
old mans face now, and his voice
was broken.
But he continued, assuring his hear
ers that should his country at any
time become involved in trouble he
would be willing to return.
Pointing to the co1ors of Mexico
the General added: "I would then
place myself at the head of the coun-
try's loyal forces and, under the
shadow of that flag, I would know
how to conquer as in times past
Gen. Huerta grasped his hand and
then the two old fighters embraced.
One by one the minor officers moved
forward and each was embraced by
Gen. Diaz and told goodbye.
1t was over. The troops had stood
at attention for an hour in the broil
ing heat, but none appeared weary.
Gen. Diaz turned to enter the house
and the officers gave the command to
march. The troops went directly to
the cars of a special train on which
they began their journey to the capi-
tai.

eoIdsboro Wins Railway Suit.

Raleigh, N. c., June 1.-The Su-
preme Court of North Carolina ad-
journed yesterday for it's summer va
cation. 1t will convene again on the
last Monday in August. The i'm
portant case of Westfelt VS.. Adams,
involving nearly a million dollars,
was not decided, but an advisari was
taken
The town of Goldsboro wins it's suit
against the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
way. The Board of Aldermen of
Goldsboro had Center street paved at
the expense of the town and also
enacted ordinances that the railroad
should move its tracks on
that street so as to be level
with the street and not in
terfere by reason of their height
above the street with public traffic.
The railroad refused to comply with
the ordinances and sued out an in
junction. A permanent injunction was
refused and the railroad appealed.
The case is very important as it de
cides to some extent the relation the
railroads occupy towards the people
and their responsibility to the peo-
pie.
The opinion for the Supreme Court
is written by Chief Justice Walter
Clark. He states: "The plaintiff took
it's charter expecting that towns and
cities would grow up along the line
of it's road, and knowing that with
the development of the country, new
roads, and in the cities and towns
that new streets would be laid out
across its right of way. And it took
its charter knowing too that the State
would have the right to lay out such
roads and new streets and to require
the railroad to make such alterations
as would prevent the passage over its
tracks by the public being impeded."

The club, he said, should congratu-

of a man whose vision should be an

his fidelity to Christ, his devotion to

Durham and Win ston Secure Lower
Rates.

The North Carolina Corporation
Commission has won it's suit for lower
freight rates from Cincinnati to Win
ston-Salem and Durham, and from
Roanoke and Lynchburg to Winston
Salem and Durham.
The Commission has received let
ter from Hon. Martin A Knapp, Chief
Justice of the Commerce Court, ad-
visiting them that his court has de
MED the petition of the several rail-
roads for a temporary injunction
against the Interstate Commerce Com
mission restraining that Commission
from making the roads obey an order
giving the North Carolina towns low
er rates on all classes of goods. The
order will become effective June 18th
and from that time on Winston
Salem and Durham will enjoy a reduc-
ton of from 10 to Is per cent on
goods shipped.
'What is of more interest to the
general public than this decision,
however, is the probability of the
lower rates applying to other points
in the State. Congress has passed an
act prohibiting railroad from charg-
ing more for short haul than for a
long haul, and all points in North
Carolina between Winston-Sa1e and
Durham and the Virginia cities will
enjoy the same rate as these cities
unless the Interstate Corporation Com
mission rules otherwise Eventually
all other points in the State will get
the same rates, it is believed, the
railroads opposing these reductions
with all their power.
Attorney General T. w. Beckett
represented the North Carolina Cor.
poration Commission and members of
the Commission made trips to Wash
ington in the interest of the State.
The roads affected are the Nor
folk & Western, Southern, Seaboard,
and Louisville & Nashville.
The case has been pending since
last June and has been pushed by the
Corporation Commission and Attor
ney-Genera1 Beckett.

HIDDEN LURE FOR BACHELOR
Once Within the MaeIstrom's EDGE No
Unattached Man Can Escape Mar
Fiage-Make Better Husbands.

Berwick, Pa-The Berwick Widows
association, now in its fourth year, has,
1t is asserted, more serious purpose
IN view than mere friyolity. The real
and hitherto concealed plan, it is now
alleged, is to find suitable second,
third or fourth husbands for its mem
bers.
Every member on joining was forced
to take secrecy pledge" in which
she agreed not to divulge the real
reason for the formation of the asso-
citation. But recently a real mean in
dividual came across the minute book
IN which were recorded the "doings"
of every meeting.
According to the minutes of the
last meeting, it was unanimously de-
cfded to hold the annual picnic of the
association this year on the same date
and at the same place at which the
Berwick Bachelors club" will hold
its annual meeting. Following this
entry is the naive remark that sit is
the consensus of opinion among the
members of the association that Wer-
wick bachelors make better husbands
than do imported masculines."
Mrs. Ella Walker is the president of
the association and has been since its
formation. The members meet week
ly at the home of one of them and
report progress on their matrimonial
ventures. The next meeting will soon
be held at the home of Mrs. Gertrude
Gibbons. At that time further arrange
ments will be made for the summer
picnic and for the winning members
of the Berwick Bachelors club

one is willing to give up a perfectly
good leg or arm to another man who

be alive, of course, to make the oper-

of different conditions which must be
met before the operation can be at

a success of it.

A minister speaks Of the curious eff

how It has relieved him.
You will doubtless understand how
the suffering from indigestion with
which ! used to be troubled made my
work an almost uncomfortable burden;
and why it was that after my Sabbath
duties had been performed, sleep was
q stranger to my pillow till nearly
daylight
I had to be veSy careful as to what
] ate, and even with all my care I ex-
perienced poignant physical distress
after meals, and my food never salts
fed me.
Since ! began the use Of Grape
Nuts the benefits I have derived from
it are very definite, I no longer suffer
from indigestion, and I began to i'm
prove from the time Grape-Nuts ap-
peared on our table.
I find that by eating q dish of this
food after my Sabbath work is done,
(and ! always do so now my nerves
are quoted and rest and refreshing
sleep are ensured me.
Il feel that I could not possibly do
without Grape-Nuts food, now that I
know itssyalue. 1t is invariably on our
table-we feel that we need it to make

SLEEPING ON BACK is BAD

Cause of Appendicitis.

Cleveland.-Dr C. W. Moots of To
ledo proposed a ready and eflcacious
cure for angular, fiat chested and
sharp-faced women at the Ohio medi-
cal convention.
Women sleep too much upon their
backs" said he. Family physicians
should advise them to lie upon their
sides, or better yet upon their stom-
achs, This would prevent internal
disorders and the consequent neces-
sity of q surgeon"
DR.. Rufus B. Hall of Cincinnati is
sued a call for more operations for ap-
pendicitis.
The time for a surgeon to operate
for appendicitis" said Dr.. Hall, is the
very identical moment that he lays his
hands upon the case. More operations
and quicker operations would mean
less fatalities"
He blamed collie when infants for
appendicitis suffered by grownups.
