government may withdraw it's rejection

acton admittedly would defer the
reading OF the presidents message.
The execution near Mexico City OF

WASHINGTON. Aug 24.-Besides
Great Britain. France and Japan, virtu-

countries are lending their support to
the efforts OF the United States to bring
about peaceful settlement of the Mex

Unless satisfactory overtures are

houses of congress the principle that
constitutional government alone can be
recognized In Mexico. He also will OUT

States for the elimination of Huerta
and the establishment of legally con-

For the Earache.

81 am afraid ; have greatly inter-
fered with my own practice" said a
celebrated aurist, by giving the fol-
lowing advice to many of my friends:
At the first symptoms of earache, let
the patient lie on the bed with the
painful ear uppermost. Fold timex
towel and tuck it around the neck;
then with a teaspoon fill the ear with
warm water. Continue doing this for
is or 20 minutes; the water will NIL
the ear orifice and flow over on the
towel. Afterwards turn over the head,
let the water run out. and plug the
,ar with warm glycerin and cotton.
This may be done every hour until
relief is obtained. 1t is an almost In
variable cure and has saved many
cases of acute Inflammation. The wa
ter should be quite warm, but not too
hot."-From the Family Doctor.
