WOMEN OF MEXICO
ON BATTLE FIELD
''SoldaderaS" Take Prominent
Part i'm Confiict-Some Not
able FeatS.

Del Rio, Texas, Nov. 6.-Women of
Mexico are playing a prominent part
in the warfare of the southern re-
public, either as "soldaderas," forag-
ing successfully for their men, or oc-
casionally as actual fighters.
This probably is true because the
present revolution has touched indi-
viduals and the homes more intimate
ly than any other conflict of recent
times. Nearly every woman in north
ern Mexico has seen warfare shorn
of it's theatricality because it entered
the home and left death and want.
In the siege now In progress at
Monterey a valued member of Gen
eral Pablo Gonzales constitutionalist
command is Senorita Maria Sanchez,
said to be a wealthy Castillian, whose
brother was shot by federal irreXu-
lars. She gave up the comforts of a
luxurious home and begged for per
mission to replace her brother.
A few months ago at Monclova a
son Of Sonora Pimental of that city
had been sentenced to be shot. The
mother got into the federal jail by
stealth and stabbed two of the guards
and rescued her son.
In the federal ranks there is told
The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1913-11-07

the story of the wife of an officer who
led the conStitutionaliSts into an am
buscade at Pperta Carmen, and,
though fired upon by the maddened
troops, galloped through the lines to
her husbands side.
When less than month ago the
federal army of General Mas occu-
pied the constitutionalist provisional
capital at Piedras Negras, on the
American border across from Eagle
Pass, the "soldaderas" played an i'm
portant role i'm the bloodless capture.
A small group of them pitched their
tents on the overlooking hills two
days before their men arrived, acting
as lookouts. When the army arrived
fully 500 of these soldier women ac-
companied it, most of them guarding
the wagon trains which their skill as
foragers had stuffffed to bursting. A
few hours after the city was occupied
the women spread supper for the en-
tire army in the open plaza.
1t is said a demand for food is
never refused these soldaderas. They
are expert with both knife and rifle
and not slow to employ threats of
death to get what they want.
One of the famous women fighters
is Mrs. AlonZo Alanis, who recently
surrendered to the Huerta garrison in
Juarez and was pardoned by the gov
ernment. She developed as leader
during the revolt against Madero.
One night, at the head of a picked
band she rode into Juarez, held up
the police station, took all available
arms and escaped to the hills. She
remained at the head of her troops
several months.

The stomach and bowels are lined

therefore subject to catarrh, the same
as the nose and throat. Catarrh of

duces gas and irritation.
Food Sours In the Stomach
A portion OF the undigested meal Is
absorbed into the system by the blood
vessels Of the stomach. This poisons
the whole system, producing a condi-
tion now known as autointoxication:
self poisoning. The fermenting, irri-
tating mass, as 1t passes down into
the bowels irritates the bowels, pro-
ducing sometimes q chronic diarrhea,
sometimes producing the very oppo-
site, constipation.
The average dyspepsia medicine
helps to artifcially digest the food.
Even when such medicine does its
work II is only temporary. A perma-
ment relief can only be expected when
the catarrh is overcome.

Gospel of COURAGE.

Ralph Waldo Urine stated his belief
thus in Harper's Bazaar:
ITO get up each morning deter
mined to be happy, determined to bo
master of the events of the day in
stead Of being mastered by them; to
take anew this attitude Of mind when
the doleful thought presents itself or
the bogy-man attempts to show his
face; to look always on the bright
side Of things, determined to stand al
ways in the sunshine rather than in
the shadow-this it is that makes
life with its daily round and it's
knotty problems continually easier.
This hopeful, optimistic, courage-al
ways-up attitude of mind and heart
is to set into operation subtle, silent
forces that r continually working
along the lines we are going and that
opens the way for us to arrive"
