TAFT MUCH DISAPPOINTED
Amendment of Peace Pacts Will
Be Opposed by Him.

Beverly. Mass. Aug 12.-President
Taft was keenly disappointed to-day to
learn that the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee had decided 10 amend the
British and French general arbitration
treaties and 70 report the agreements 10
the Senate in modified form. The news
was not unexpected. but the President
had still hoped that the committee would
accept the treaties in the form in which
they were signed.
In spite Of the disappointment he felt
over the changes in the treaties. which
indicate the probability that they must
go over 10 the next session, the Presi-
dent intends 10 keep up his fight TO have
the pacts accepted in full Already he
has lined up many Senators friendly TO
the administration. and when he returns
10 Washington on Monday he will press
his personal campaign. The President
is scheduled TO speak at va Methodist
camp meeting in Ocean Grove. y. j., on
Tuesday. and, while he has not written
his address for that occasion, il seemed
probable tonight that he would find op-
portunity there TO refer TO the Senate's
action.
The President has never felt the force
of arguments that the Senate would
lessen its own right as part Of the treaty
making power Of the government by ac-
ceptng these general arbitration meas
ures as presented to Il. The action Of
the Foreign Relations Committee has
not changed his view.
IL was admitted here tonight that if
the Senate insisted on putting through
the treaty in modified form, reopen
ing Of the negotiations with Great Brit
ain and France probably will be neces-
sary Steps looking to such a resump-
ton of the negotiations are not con-
templated by the President at this time,
bur it is probable that he will take the
matter up with Secretary Knox next
week

KNOX LAUDS DE LA BARRA
Saws Mexican Presidents Firm
ness Is Commended Highly.

Washington, Aug. 12.-In announcing
that the United States has granted au-
thority to Mexico TO send troops across
American territory 10 quell disturbances
ir Lower California. Secretary OF State
Knox to-day paid a high tribute 10 the
efforts Of President de la Barra TO re-
store order in Mexico. Mexican rurales
will be permitted 10 go from Douglas,
AriZ.. 10 Tiajuana, Mexico. TO suppress
lawlessuess. which, Secretary Knox says,
has kept the northern part OF Lower
california in a turmoil for some time.
He added
This bad condition has. among other
things caused several complaints from
American citizens engaged in legitimate en-
terprises in that section, and even the wan
ton murder OF three Americans. The en-
ergetic action now proposed, like so many
other measures being taken by President
de la Barra 10 restore tranquility and 10
suppress violence throughout the Mexican
Republic. is gratifying 10 this government.
Indeed, our official reports have been to the
effect that the situation has been improving
with remarkable rapidity. due chiefly 10
President de la Barras hrmness. which Is
highly commended In all quarters.

A GOOD COMPLEXION ADDS CHARM
TO ANY WOMAN.
seaver's Laxative Tonic Tablets VIII
Produce Good Compilations.

Among the many charms for which
women are especially noted, not one of
them is so quickly recognized and ad-
mired as a good complexion.
Every woman, regardless of the station
she may occupy in society, owes it to
herself as well as her associates, to
properly safeguard the beauties with
which nature has endowed her.
The inactivity of the liver and bowels
Is the direct cause of pimples, sallow-
ness, muddy skin and the many other
blemishes common to a poor complexion.
SEAVER'S LAXATIVE TONIC TAB
LETS are largely composed of dandelion
and any physician will tell you there Is
nothing better to create a healthy con-
dltion of the skin and complexion. A 20
cent package of these tablets contains
enough of the remedy for fair trial and
your money will be cheerfully returned
by w. F.. Root. Brattleboro, and c. H.
Parmalee, Wilmington If you are not
greatly benefited by their use
DO not delay but give SEAVER'S
LAXATIVE TONIC TABLETS fair
trial and you will agree that all our
claims are absolutely true.
