After reading the public statement
of this representative citizen of Col

this conclusion: A remedy which
cured years ago, which has kept the
kidneys in good health since, can be
relied upon to perform the same work
In other cases. Read this:

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

ent staunch supporter of Madero
Giuseppe Garibaldi and Gen. Nader,
and his wife. She 10 accounted
warm supporter of the proposition 0
taking Jaurez and then talking peace
Somewhere in her intuitions she be
lieyes her husband would be In bet
ter position to talk peace from Jaure:
than from the hills around it. A rep
resentative of the Associated pl ess
was present by invitation.
Much of the discussion was of &
nature the publication of which is mo-
desired at this time. 1t may be stat
ed, however, that Gen. Madero has
the most authentic assurances of 6
liberal attitude on the part of the gov
eminent. it fact, it may be said that
President Diaz is anxious to adopt
every measure which will insure the
return of the revolutionary soldiers
to their farms and shops, with the
feeling that the government at Mex
leo City as their government can give
them aid to repair the ravages of
neglect, and it is theirs for the ask.
ing. 1t wants no rancor to remain on
either side. The liberality of the
president on every point intimately
affecting the daily life of the people,
as shown in the assurances given Gen.
Madero, exceeds the dreams OF the
revolutionists themselves.
All the kilograms which have been
exchanged in the pourparlers and all
documents in the case were handed
from one to another and carefully
read by all, including Sonora Madero.
When the conference adjourned for
luncheon, long telegram was dis
patched to the City of Mexico. Pre-
it suggests detail changes or
additions in the outline plan which
serves as a basis of discussion.
The terms of the armistice are as
follows:
l. Both which operate in the rec
tangle formed by the principal points
Of Chihuahua, Jaurez, Casas Grandes
and Minaca shall remain at the points
hey actually occupy on this day
april 23), with neither side advanc-
ng, nor the forwarding of reinforce
2. All work on Notifications,
trenches, battlements of any and all
or the REPAYMENT of rail-
'oads or other military works shall
)e suspended
3. 1t shall be permitted to bring
~ way of Jaurez all provisions, for
,ge, clothing, medicine and all other
necessities of life, without payment of
luty. Intoxicating liquors are ex-
,luded from this provision
4. This armistice shall remain in
effect five days, beginning today at
2 o'clock, noon.
s. Passes to and from camp shall
)e granted to members of the Madero
amily, peace commissioners, those
lauling supplies and others whose le-
climate duties require their passage
o and from camp. The form of the
,ass shall be agreed upon.
