Washington.-Sim with
the arrival of Senor Manuel Calero,
the new ambassador of Mexico to
this country, DR.. Policarpo Rueda, rep
resentative of Emilio Vasquez Gomez,
provisional president of Mexico, apr
peared in Washington to ask the gov
ernment to recognize the belligerenCy
of the provisional government. Both
issued statements Sunday.
"The uprising has been confined TO
the state of Chihuahua" said Am
bassador Calero's statement, in part,
"in spite of what has been said to the
contrary, and is daily being repeated
in the United States. Disturbances
exist, it is true in other portions of
the republic, not political in character
but are rather brigandage on a
more or less scale"
In his statement, which is address
ed to the American people, DR.. Rueda
declares:
The provisional government is a
fully organized political state, capable
of discharging the duties of a govern
ment by enforcing the laws and pro-
tecting life and property, and meeting
it's foreign obligations. 1t holds two
states and many cities and towns; it
has an established seat of govern
ment; it is supported by the people
and is homogeneous and popular or
ganization, carrying on trade, manu-
factures and war"
DR.. Rueda says the provisional gov
| ernment is "in every respect a de-
facto government, worthy of recogni-
tion os such, and entitled to all the
rights of belligerent."

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health OF ev.
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches
pimples and general air OF lassitude'
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or Indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, Is
q combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgatiye waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action
pleasant to the taste and positive in
Its effect, Strengthening the muscles
-of stomach and bowels SO that after
q short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tions without assistance.
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in soc and
31.00 bottles. If you have never tried
1t, write for a sample to DR.. w. b.
