REPORTS INACCURATE.

Your excellency must, therefore, be
aware that the reports which appear
to have reached you that orders have
already been given to land forces were
inaccurate. The ambassador. who Is
fully informed, is nevertheless again
instructed to afford you any desirable
information. Any fresh assurances Of
friendship to Mexico are unnecessary
after two years of proof of patience
and good will.
I'm view of the special friendship
and relations between the two coun-
tries, cannot too strongly impress
upon your excellency the vital i'm
portance of the early establishment OF
real peace and order which this gov
ernment has so long hoped to see.
American citizens and their property
must be protected and respected and
also because this nation sympathizes
deeply with the afflictions of the Mex
lean people.
I'm reciprocating the anxiety shown
by your excellencys message I feel it
my duty to add sincerely and without
reserve that the course of events dur
ing the past two years eliminating in
the present most dangerous situation
creates in this country extreme pessi-
mism and the conviction that the pres
ent paramount duty is the prompt re-
lief of the situation.

WILSON MUCH PLEASED.
Henry Is Gratided ut Vindication
From Bryan.

Mexico City, May 1S.-Commenting
on Secretary Bryan's denial that the
state department is conducting any
investigation into charges against
Henry Wilson, the American ambassa-
dor to Mexico, the ambassador said
today Il am greatly gratified at
the complete and honorable vindica-
ton given me by the secretary Of
state.
THE charges which were made
purely for Mexican political purposes,
not only caused me great distress, but
to the extent to which they have been
given credit were harmful to our
government and derogatory to the
good name Of the diplomatic ser

TVOR those who wish to observe a
period of mourning and are con-
u fronted by objections to all-black
apparel, or find it not practical
for daily wear there Is now the al
tentative of all-white or white and
black in combination. In the smart
est shops and at the leading costumers
one may order mourning in either
black or white. Crepe, which is the
recognized insignia of mourning, has
been used with wonderful effective
ness, especially in millinery. Black
Grape hats and wells, for first mourn
ing, have been duplicated exactly IL
white Grape. This is an exquisite
fabric and since the designers began
using it they have achieved some
new and wonderfully beautiful effects

It is not merely a whim of fashion
that has brought about the adoption
of the new white mourning" 1t is
q change of sentiment with regard to
the meaning of mourning apparel.
One need not think very long to con-
clude that white mourning is meeting

REDUCING THE DOUBLE CHIN
Simple Methods, PerseVered In, viii
Speedily Do Away With objec-
.~ tionable Feature.

One Of the most Objectionable fea-
lures is the double chin. This can be
rcmedied in one month by the follow
ing exercise: First soap the under
part of the chin with pure soap, and
plenty of it. Then throw the head
back till the face looks up to the cell
ing. Then press firmly the under chin
with the thumbs while at the same
time make the lower chin move back
and forth against the thumbs. 1t will
take some practice, but you will soon
find the way to cause the movement
Of the fat part of the chin. This will
strengthen all the muscles and at the
same time it will eliminate the fatty
cells. The soap aids in this by cutting
the fat from the skin.
The exercise can be endured and
even enjoyed If you have graphic
phone and take the exercise by the
music. I set my graphophone out in
the rear garden and take my physical
culture out in the open air. Besides
the exercises had in the college class

Wherever there is excess fat just
keep on till you find motion that
will cause a movement of that fat,
then work-Health.

Red-tieeIed Slippers.

It was only natural that the incoln-
ing of effective little frocks should
have brought with them the high-heel-
ed slippers OF the Louis XVI. period,
with their immense buckles in front
and their slashes of red behind. There
is new kind of heel, toe, which is
used on these black slippers, and<it
makes the foot look about three
inches shorter than it is.
One would say that it was impossi-
BILE to walk in them If one had not
witnessed the ability of women to get
along in yard-wide skirts and Spanish
heels that put them on stills. We
have learned during the last three
years that there are few limitations

of fashion; If ever these Louis heels
