General Nenustiano Carranza, head OF

interview to-day criticised the report

ence Provisional President Huerta TO
appoint Pedro Lascurain as minister
or foreign relations. with the view OF
Huerta's possible retirement IN his IA
vor. He expressed doubt. however. or
the accuracy OF the report when ques-
toned regarding what his position
would be IN such an event
TT Is impossible TO believe" said
CarranZa. that the President OF the
United States. man OF such high
moral personality as is shown In his
works that have read. would initiate
the political methods Of man OF such
low morality as IIuerta.
Impossible TO Believe.
1T is impossible 20 believe that
President Wilson intends To act IN the
manner attributed TO him by certain
press reports that have reached me.
This action would be equivalent TO
approving the ahominable political
proceedings OF Huerta.
III President Wilson now intends
20 commit the same crime through
the person OF Lascurain, the only diff
ference between this contemplated act
and that OF Huerta is that Huerta,
who. 10 our disgrace. is a Mexican.
acted within the realm OF national
politics. while President Wilson
would make the affair one OF interna-
ton politics.

the stomach, see Ills Of Life" sent

Ohio.
The stomach and. bowels are lined
with q mucous membrane. They are
therefore subject to catarrh, the same
as the nose and throat Catarrh of
the stomach and bowels will derange
the functions of these organs. The
stomach can no longer digest food. The
food lying In the stomach, even for a
short time without digestion, immedi-
ately sours. The sourtng produces 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-
ton now known as autointoxication;
self poisoning. The fermenting, irri-
tating mass, as it passes down into
the bowels irritates the bowels, pro-
ducing Sometimes a chronic diarrhea,
sometimes producing the very opposite,
constipation.

Even when such medicine does It's
work 1t is only temporary. A perma-
nent relief can only be expected when
the catarhh is overcome.
Symptoms Of Catarrh of the Stomach.
The symptoms Of catarrh of the
stomach are: First, heartburn. Sec
ond, food rises In throat after meals.
Third, sour stomach. Fourth, heavy
bloated belching Of gas. Sixth, palpita-

anything known in the fruit line ex-
cept our faithful old friend, the guava.

road where the eucalyptus trees come

patch and few small paintings have

Doubtless this winter, as before,
large quantities Of the berries viii be
imported from Plant City. where they
are no better situated than Sarasota
as regards soil or climate, but simply
went into the game earlier and have
won out on large scale. There is no
more promising prospect in the agri-

to Sarasota and raising Strawberries.
