MAY SOON RECOGNIZE
HUERTA GOVERNMENT

Washington, May 1.-THE unsatis-
factory state of relations between the
United States and Mexico probably
soon will induce the administration to
take some definite attitude toward
recognition of the Huerta government.
The fact that several of the general
states already have accorded reCogni-
ton, including several of the great
powers, is said to be having an effect
upon the United States. It is expected
that very soon a new ambassador will
be appointed to succeed Henry Lane
Wilson and that his credentials will be
directed to Provisional President HUI

KNOWN AT LAST
WHY PEOPLE
DIE

Disease is the results of poisors in
the blood.
These poisons arc carried TO tho
head, irritste the brain, PRODUCING
headache, seeplessness and irritabilty.
. They pass into the mucous mem
brsnes lining the nose and throat and
lungs. and cause catarrh, bronchitis
and asthma.
They come into contact with tho
hearts lining and cause heart disease.
They attack the nerves and cause
neuralgia and rheumatism.
And finally they pass into the kid
neys, setting up inflammation that re-
suits in kidney disease.
Different Varieties Of Poisors.
These poisons which cause disease
and suffering may have been absorbed
in the blood from without the body. O.
they NAV have been manufactured
within the body itself, which is com
monty the case. Now there are
great many varieties of poisons thai
may get into the blood. and each diff
ferent kind Of poison is liable to pro
duce a different disease with a differenf
set of symptoms The same poison
does not always cause the same synp-
toms in different people. The reason
for this is that in every persons body
there is one particular part or struC-
ture that is weaker and so more sus-
Ceptible to disease than any other part.
1t is this weaker part which. being
less able to resist the presence Of
poison in the blood, shows by some
form of disease that the blood is loaded
with poiSOnS.

would most assuredly influence some
politicians of my acquaintance.
WON ON A "FLUkE."
My opinion is that Senator Drane, in
spite of his personal canvass Of the
state, won the senate presidency on
"f1uke." Here's the reason for the be-
lief that is within me: Senator Hud-
son was looked upon for long time
the progressive candidate for the
presidency, and as sure winner. Hud-
son, however, had his hands full as
attorney for the railroad commission
and did not wish to be again honored
with the presidency Of the senate eX-
cept in the hope of putting through
certain progressive measures. Friends
os Senator Drane lulled him to sleep
with the statement that Drane was just
as progressive as Hudson, and there
fore Hudson withdrew from the race
till the eleventh hour.
A friend put a bug" into Senator
Hudson's ear however, as to DTane's
progressiveness. and Hudson got back
into the race. In spite of the hammer
ing given him because ne happened TO
be attorney for the railroad commits
sion though, Hudson was looked upon
as a winner until the day before the
senate caucus. Then the tide was
turned for several reasons, and Drane
won with the aid of Senator Adkins.
Several days ago / asked Senator Hud-
son what he thought of Senator Dranes
progressiveness. II am afraid that any
expression I might make would be
somewhat biased" replied the Miami
man. AS he gazed through a senate
window. though, Hudson looked far
more than he said. Verify, | believe
he was thinking damn it,"
MENTAL ANGUISH"
Senator Dranes attitude on Stokes's
mental anguish telegraph bill has been
the cause of considerable comment
al ound the capitol. Drane begged to
be excused from voting for or against
the measure because of the fact that
he Drane) owned the building used by
the Postal Telegraph Company in
Lakeland. Senator Stokes declares that
he moved that this excuse be spread
upon the journal I have scanned that
journal thoroughly, however, and do
not find the excuse writ thereon. May

ARIZONA ALIEN LAW

Washington, May 17.-Arizona's new
alien land law is not regarded here as
seriously complicating negotiations
with Japan, because the act does not
contain the same direct bar against
Japanese as the California act.
It Is expected however that because
of its adverse effect upon Mexican
land owners in Arizona, a protest will
be forthcoming from the Mexican gov
eminent, even in view of the rather ir-
regular status of the diplomatic rela-
tions between America and Mexico.
Both the American and Japanese
governments waiting on the final &C
ton of Gov. Johnson, the possibility
of postponing the operation of the
proposed California law by invoking
the referendum Is again being dis
cussed in official circles
The overwhelming majority for the
Webb bill in both branches Of the
California legislature makes some CAL
ifornians in Washington doubtful If
the necessary signatures for a refer
endum could be secured.
