Portugal, who is man of education, was formerly a first captain in a rurale corps, but be- coming involved in dispute with Captain Sandoval of the same corps struck his superior officer, and while under arrest for insurbor- dnation escaped and joined the rebel forces. It is stated that he was employed for some time as secretary of Emiliano Zapata and was one of the rebel ohieftain's most trusted lieutenants. He bears striking resemblance to Abraham Martinez, who was arrested in the city few days ago.
 Mexican Herald: Conditions in the state of Sinaloa were discused at the weekly meeting of the cab inet held yesterday, and it was resolved to 1x the date of the elec- ton for governor of that state on August next. It was stated that as there might be a tendency in some quarters to raise objections and delay the elections indefinitely 1t was thought advisable by the cabinet to arrange for them to be held as soon as possible. The state is at present governed by General Jose Delgado, commander of the federal forces occupying the state and is practically under martial rule. Sinaloa has emerged from many vicissitudes practically bank rupt, and the selection of General Delgado was made after several persons had refused the provisional office on account of the bad condi- tlon of the states finances. Four candidates have announced them selves for the office, two of them being at present in Mexico City conferring with the central govern ment and the other two on their way to the capital.
 Mexican Herald: Subdirector Mackinney of the labor bureau in the department of fomento has just returned from Orizaba after making an investigation into the shooting of working men by vol unteers at one of the factories in the Rio Blanco district. Mir. Mac kinney says that the men are still In great state of excitement and are demanding the punishment of those responsible for the shooting ot their comrades. Leaders among the workmen assured the represent. atlye of the labor bureau that Workmen were not on strike when the incident occurred but had been locked out by the owners of the factory. It is reported that shots were fired also from the windows oi the factory and workmen charge that the guns were in the hands of persons high in authority at the factory The fact that the volun- 'eers chased the scattered work men, firing shots at them, is according to MT. Mackinney, 9 cause for much excitement which s'llI exists among the textile work CTS With the added fact that the ovaers of the factory in whose pay tue volunteers seem to have been are foreigners.

Now that we have had such glor-

surance of general awakening in

it easier for the contestants to get

Don't Depend On Popularity Alone.
We believe that too many of the
contestants are depending on pop
ularity alone to win one of the
finest premiums ever offered by a
There are too many people who be-
lieve that. Popularity comes as p
natural gift and requires no effort
to attain but Popularity in this in
stance must be acquired through
the expenditure of time and energy

reward for the effort and time ex-
pended to attain it.
Not a contestant in the entire

we believe that others will yet en-

Don't Be Laggard.
There will be no dilly-dallying

few weeks that remain in the
Great Contest. New life is what is
most needed in every line of bus

We hope that the ladies and child

bound to come in the immediate
future.
No one admires a laggard and
therefore no contestant should care
to remain in that class. A very
brilliant vote offer has been made
this week for the benefit of those
C ntestants who really desire to
accomplish something.
Every contestant will be given
the same fair treatment through
out the campaign and we chal-
lenge any one to show us where
any unfair methods are being en-
ployed or any favoritism is being
shown to any of the candidates.
What Contestants, Should Do.
l. Devote a certain amount of
EACH day to vote getting.

ALMUST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA

q, the undersigned, cannot give enough praise to the Cuticura Rem edies. l had been doctoring for at least year for eczema on my foot had tried doctor after doctor all to no avail. When a young girl I sprained my ankle three different times, paying little or no attention to 1t, when five years ago small spot showed upon my left ankle. l was worried and sent for doctor He said 1t was eczema. He drew a small bone from the ankle about the size of match and about an inch long. The small hole grew to about the size of an apple, and the eczema spread to the knee. The doc tors never could heal the hole in the ankle. The whole foot ran water all the time.
 My husband and my sons were up night and day wheeling me from one room to another in the hope of giving me some relief. I would sit for hours at a time in front of the fireplace hoping for daybreak The pain was so intense I was almost crazy, in fact. l would lose my reason for hours at time. One day friend of mine dropped In to see me. No more had she glanced at my foot than she ex- claimed Mrs. Finnegan, why in the world don't you try the Cuticura Rem edies!' Being disgusted with the doc tors and their medicines, and not be- ing able to sleep at all, l decided to give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment trial. After using them three days that night I slept as sound as silver dollar for eight long hours awoke in the morning with but very little pain, in fact, l thought l was in heaven. After using the Cuticura Remedies for three months I was per fectly restored to health, thanks to the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. will be sixty-four years of age my next birthday, hale and hearty at pres ent." (Signed) Mrs Julia F1nnegan, 2234 Hebert St., St. Louis, Mo, Mar. ', 1911. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold by druggists and dealers everywhere. a sample of each. with 32-page book. will be mailed free on application to "Cuticura," Dept. l.. Boston

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 a combination of simple laxative herbs with peps'n kpown tc a.2sststs as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This simple remedy is far preferable to harsh salts and cathartics and violent purgative 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 a short time these organs regain the power to perform their natural func- tions without assistance.
 Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists everywhere in soc and $1.00 bottles. If you have never tried 1t, write for a sample to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, POI Washington St., Monti- cello, H.; he will gladly send trial bottle without any expense to you whatever.

Useful Aqent for Show.

Al G, Field. the minstrel man. has another story which he Is telling. He says that not long ago an attache of his show was sent out In an Iowa town to give some handbills, or her aids, to boys for distribution. The man found only one boy willing to work. He didn't deem 1t necessary to explain to the boy that the bills were to be distributed about town. He took 1t for granted that the boy knew. The youngster took the print ed slips of paper and the man gave him quarter and left. Half an hour later the snowman chanced to pass along the street and saw the boy standing on the sidewalk, crying
 What's the matter?" asked the man.
 The boy gave a couple of final sobs and. wiping his eyes on his sleeve, said:
 "A man jist come along an took one of my bills

Bad Teeth Go With Good Brains.

An English scientist has pointed out that there are signs of steady de- generacy in two sets of organs vital to the wellbeing of the human race. and the fall Is most marked among the western nations. The evidence Is that, coincident with the mental ad- vance of man, there has been dimi- mutton in the provision of teeth. In the ape, the negro, and the white man, brain and teeth are inversely proportional to efficiency, Increase of cunning has reduced the work of the teeth, and the demand of the brain for blood has starved the former; dis- orders of digestion show that the bal ance is unsatisfactory.
