Commercial association expects PhiIo

try's greatest experts in chicken Gull
ture, and maybe the reason lies in the
fact that he laid the foundation for
his education along this line at the
Kansas Agricultural college, which has

LOUDERWILK IS ATTACKED.
Veteran, Nearly Dead. Found in Rail
road Ont

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. 24=John
Louderwilk, 6S years old, an inmate
of the Soldiers home. is unconscious
in the hospital there with his skull
crushed as the result of a mysterious
assault that occurred in a cut on the
Santa Fe track just west of the Pike.
A half brick that lay at his side
smeared with blood clots mingled with
gray hair told the story. An attempted
holdup is thought to have caused the
assault.
None of Louderwilk's comrades
seem to know anything of his actions
prior to two or three hours of the
supposed time of the assault
That there is a band of criminals in
this vicinity is the opinion of the sher-
iff and that the same ones who COM
mitted the assault on Louderwilk are
thought to be the ones who are re-
sponsible for many larcenies that are
committed on the pay days of both the
young and old soldiers.

The highest point of woman s hap
piness is reached only through moth
erhood, in the c1asping of her child

natures ills and discomforts nature
provides remedies, and in Mothers

great value to every expectant mother.
It is an oily emulsion for external
application, composed of ingredients
which act with beneficial and sooth-

system involved. It is intended. to
prepare the system for the crisis, and
thus relieve, in great part, the suffer

comfort it affords before, and the help

that burns are the most COM

families protect themselves
against their results. Dangerous
blisters, making skin grating

vent. Now comes the University

chemical discovery, Benetol,

A Few 'Cascarets'
Cure Constipation

Pleasant, gentle. though the most
effective remedy In the world for
sluggish bowels or . lazy liver.
In the old days physic was
dreadful-calomel. castor oil. salts
or cathartics. And they were
worse than they seemed. for they
irritated the stomach and bow
els. They acted much an pepper
acts In the nostrils. They flood
ed the bowels with fluids. But
those fluids were digestive
juices. And waste today means
a lack tomorrow. You secured
relief, but you were actually
worse off than without u.
It's different with Carcarets.
Their effect is the same as that
of laxative foods. or OF exercise.
They stimulate the bowels to
natural action. No gripping. They
act as a bowel tonic.
The old way. too. was to take
large doses of physic. People
waited until the bowels were
clogged. The new way Ia to take
one Cascaret when you need 1t.
Carry the box In your pocket or
purse. Ward off the troubles in
stantly. The modern plan Is to
keep at your best. The old way
wasted too many good hours. Get
a 10 cent box of Cascarets now.

The Truth About the Torreon Massacre;
How Mexicans Butchered 800 Chinese
BY w. G. Shepherd.

TORREON, Mexico, June Is
The killing of 800 Chinese at Tor
reon was a massacre, the most ter
rible in the recent history of the
world.
l went to the Foreign club and
got the Torreon story, first hand,
from Americans and Englishmen
who witnessed the slaughter.
"For several weeks" said an
American, 1.-The insurrectos had
been gathering outside the city.
There are 800 Americans here and
as. many other foreigners. We
all felt perfectly safe, until sud-
denly the federals, one Sunday
morning, deserted the town. The
insurrectos came in with a rush
and when they got here they
found no one to kill.
"As they entered the city, I
came out of Chinese restaurant.
One of them rode up to a China
man and said, Give us your
horse The Chinaman had no
horse and said so. l saw the in
surrecto draw out a revolver and
say, Well, take that then, you
dirty yellow devil He killed the
Chinaman before my eyes and
rode on.
81 saw Cinnamon dragged
through the streets at the tails of
horses,' said another man. And
a friend of mine told me that he
saw Cinnamon, stark naked, plac-
ed against a wall and shot. I
have heard other friends say that
Cinnamon were cut to pieces and
tortured.
II know one Mexican girl whose
father hid nine Cinnamon In his
home and refused to give them up.
The insurrectos killed him. His
daughter was as determined as
her father not to surrender the
Cinnamon and, though her father
lay dead on the sidewalk, where
she could see the body, she told
the men who broke into the house
that there were no Cinnamon
there. They did not believe that
she would lie. under such circum-
stances, and departed.
| 1.-THE men who did the killing
were the regular Maderista in
surrectors. and later I saw them
on regular soldier duty about the
city. Many of them were fero-
ciously drunk and, in the red ligh;
district of the town, the bodies OF
a dozen brutally murdered women
were found"
