Washington WARNS HUERTA
DEMANDS OF HIM TO PROTECT
LIVES OF DEPUTIES.
The Powers Changing Front, and Ger
many Has Dispatched Warshlp
to Mexican Waters.

Washington. decision to
dispatch Warship TO Mexican waters
attracted wide attention in official cir
Giles Monday
No formal comment was made on
the incident, but it was apparent that
the Washington government was not
displeased. The sending OF a German
warship is in line with the policy of
other European governments which
had vessels cruising off the Mexican
coast from time to time during critical
moments OF Mexico's internal strife.
Significance was attached to the &C
ton by official Washington, however,
because it was accepted as indicating
that European powers who previously
had recognized the Huerta government
among which were Germany and
Great Britain-now saw evidences OF
Ruerta's inability to compose the sit
uation.
Latest advices to Washington are to
the effect that the British government
is deeply concerned over its recogni,
ton OF Huerta and it is even declared
reliably that King George and Queen
Mary have taken personal interest
In the situation with view to meas
ures that would support the policy Of
the United States.
While the American war vessels in
Mexican waters outnumber the for
eign ships and will render any aid,
not only to Americans, but all foreign
ers, in case Of emergency, it is be-
lieved by the Washington authorities
that the sending of a German vessel
Immediately after the arrest of the
members of the chamber of deputies
may have SOLDERING effect on Pro-
visional President Huerta and prevent
him from going to further extremes.
Strong representations went forth
from the United States to the Mexican
federal authorities Monday, calling on
General Huerta to protert the lives OF
the imprisoned deputies. 1t was point
ed out that this action was taken, not
because the United States has any de-
sire to interfere in the internal affairs
of the southern republic, but in the
cause Of humanity.
Similar representations were made
when Madero and Suarez were ar
rested. Whether OF not the protest of
the United States against injuring the
deputies will be followed by any dras-
tic action should Huerta defy all warn
ings and punish the deputies is one of
the questions being discussed by those
who are shaping the administration s
policy.

fore the Police jury and the jury de-
cided to authorize President C. E.

School Officials Deny.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Shreveport.-At a meeting of the
Caddo Parish School Board E. W,
Goetz, a local oil man, charged that
brutality was practiced in the public
schools of the parish, and demanded
that corporal punishment be abolished.
The board denied the charges and ig-
nored the damand.
During his condemnation Goetz de-
clared that he could prove charges of
brutality towards children of tender
years by teachers, but he declined to
do so unless a public meeting was
called for the purpose.
President T. H. Scovell vehemently
denied the allegations of Goetz, and
declared that any teacher guilty of
brutality would be summarily dis
missed

Old People Need
A Bowel Stimuli.
The Ideal One Is q Mid Laxative
Tonic That VIII Keep the BoGceIs
Gently Active.

Healthy old age Is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition Of the bow
els that great care should be taken to
see that they act regularly. The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive and
the liver does not store up the juices
that are necessary to prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty OF
exercise but this latter is irksome to
most elderly people. One thing is GER
tain. that state of constipation should
always be avoided, as it is dangerous
to life and health. The best plan Is
to take a mild laxative as often as is
deemed necessary. But with equal GER
tainty it is suggested that cathartics,
purgatives, physics, salts and pills be
avoided, as they do but temporary good
and are so harsh as to be a shock to
delicate system.
A much better plan and one that
thousands Of elderly people are follow
ing, is to take gentle laxative-tonic
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which
acts as nearly like nature as is possible.
In fact, the tendency Of this remedy
is to strengthen the stomach and bowel
muscles and so train them to act natu-
rally again, when medicines of all
kinds can usually be dispensed with
This is the opinion Of many people of
different ages, among them Mrs. Mary
