STATES.
Regrets Trouble Caused Americans by
Firing of His Men-Guarantecs
Safety to Citizens i'm Mexico.

Mexico City, Dec. IL (via Ell Paso).
Provisional President Gutierrez, in
an interview to the Associated Press,
made this comment on the situation
at Naco:
I sincerely regret the troubles
which have occurred along the north
ern border, in which Americans have
peen killed or wounded by stray bull
lets. ] have ordered the absolute ces-
sation Of hostilities in the neighbor-
mood of Naco, and will proceed in
a ike manner should fighting occur
at any other points along the border,
even IL such an order should jeopar-
die our cause. l realize that at any
cost we must retain the friendship of
Americans
president Gutierrez today answered
the note Of Secretary Bryan, asking
guarantees for refugees who left
Vera Cruz upon Carranzas entrance
to that port, and now wish to re-
enter Mexico by way of Ell Paso.
Gutierrez assured the Washington
governr sent he would give full guar
antees Of safety.
President Gutierrez still is confined
to his bed, but is much improved in
health.
Troops under Zapata are besieging
Peubla. They have cut off the water
and light supply and are guarding all
routes to prevent entrance Of food
stuffs. Gen. Angeles has left Mexico
City for Peubla. The siege is con-
sidered difficult for the Zapata
forces and it is estimated that more
than $4,000 troops would be needed
to invest the fortif cations. 1t is re-
ported here that the Carranza troops
which recently evacuated Pachuca are
in demoralized condition and that
many commands have dispersed for
want Of food.

GRAIN PLANTING SLOW.
FARMERS IN LOW COUNTRY
HAVE NOT sOWED MUCH.
United Sttaes Agent Finds Large
Areas Planted in Some Counties and
LATHE I'm Others.

Columbia. Dec. IL. The planting of
grain has not been statewide, ac-
'cording to the observations of w. w.
Long. State farm demonstration agent
Of Clemson College, who has recently
been in many sections Of the State
He found that in ne lower countHes
the farmers have been slow to under
stand the necessity of platning grain,
and he expressed the hope that next
spring many acres of land would be
planted to corn. cowpeas and forage
crops.
"The seeding of grain in the State
Is spotted" said Mr.. Long. "In some
counties there Is great deal Of grain
seeded and in others very little. COM
paratively speaking. The farmers in
the upper and middle counties Of the
State have seeded a large area, both
OF wheat and oats, but I find with
regret in the lower counties tNst we
have not been able to make the farm
ers understand just how necessary it
was for them to seed grain. 1t seems
that many hesitated to seed their
grain for fear that there would not
be market. This is especially true
Of wheat They did not realize that
to supply South Carolina with wheat
bread next year 1t would take 45O, 900
acres. provided we did not make more
than our usual average yield per acre
and certainly under present condi-
tions. the State should furnish a suf-
ficient amount Of wheat for the con-
sumption Of the people at home. 1t
looks now as II we will again have
to buy large quantity Of -four from
the West.
"Of course we can look forward
and hope that q great deal of the land
will be planted in corn, cowpeas and
forage crops next spring and In GER
tain sections Of the State, especially
in the light lands. that we can begin
In small way to grow peanuts; for
I believe that we can grow them as
successfully on certain Of our lands
a. they can be grown in Nansemond
county. Virginia. 1t must be remem-
bered that Nansemond is in the coast
al plains OF Virginia and the soil ia
similar to our coast country. The
profit In this crop Is from $50 to 800
an acre under best conditions. and the
growing OF this crop makes the rails
ing Of hogs absolutely necessary in
order to get the greatest pront from
the acreage planted"

Washington, Dec. 13.-Col. George
Goethals' request for two torpedo boat

Vious intimation that neutrality was
being violated in the vicinity of the

order destroyers from Charleston or
from the west coast of Mexico. He
did not interpret Col Goethals' mes

was urgent, and asked for further in

 BY JOINING THE NATIONAL DEFENSE LEAGUE

of the neutrality treaties concerning Luxemberg and Belgium. They have been broken as though they had been ropes of sand.
 Some of our fatuous statesmen would have us 'scuttle' from the Philip pines after having their neutrality guaranteed by all the world powers. It must now be evident to even the casual observer that such a treaty would not be worth the paper on which It IS written, if it should become nec- essary or convenient for some of the great powers to break it.
 Today we stand isolated and alone in world politics We cannot count upon the friendship of a single na. tion. We must be ready to stand alone and by ourselves in every interna. tional emergency. Therefore, it is es- sential, nay more, it is absolutely necessary that we maintain our army and our navy in such a state of pre- paredness that our national honor will be protected and upheld, come what may.

THE EVIDENCE IS SUPPLIED BY
 LOCAL TESTIMONY

If the reader wants stronger proof than the following statement and ex- perience of a resident of Yuma, what can it be?
 Some years ago my kidneys began to trouble me-" says Mrs. G. c. Bar cena, Fourth Street, Yuma. At first I had a slight backache but paid little attention to 1t. Later the pains be- came worse and had trouble with the kidney secretions. Headaches and dig zy spells bothered me. Doan's Kid ney Pills helped me from the first and soon made me feel better in every way. Now, seldom have kidney complaint"

Georgette crepe in black or white is used both for waists and for the soft clinging type of gown. It is charming trimmed with either faille, taffeta or dull satin.
 All costumes worn for first mourning can be trimmed with crepe, and white crepe is smart when used at the neck for the collar or vest, and for tle cuffs as well.
 For young people all white is being used a great deal for mourning. It is not as depressing as black and yet it is just as much a badge of sor- row. All-white hats of lustreless taf- feta are trimmed with white crepe flowers, or a small close-fitting hat of white has a large Empress Eugenie veil in white precisely following the black widows veil of the same name This style of veil is heavy and smoth- ering for very hot weather, although it is a protection from kindly but curious eyes. It is a large hemmed square of crepe with one corner round ed out to fit the neck, finished with frill of the same It is fastener around the neck with the long point hanging down in front and is then thrown over the head and fastened securely to the hat with pins. It is unusually graceful and most becom- ing.
 White chiffon cloth is used for the dressier dresses. I saw a charming one made of box pleated chiffon cloth and the skirt had a box-pleated tunic with wide hem. Just above the hem was an inset of insertion of point-d'- esprit. This frock was remarkable for its charming inconspicuousness.
 Sheer collars and cuffs of organdy are accessories which may be used. Hemstitched, or with hems fagoted they give a finish and a dainty touch, which helps to take away the dreari- ness of all black
 Collars and cuffs of organdy have hems of black which are attached to the collar by machine hemstitching The woman with a little ingenuity and time to spare can make many variations of these dainty accessories
 Handkerchiefs are shown with hems of black either a half an inch or an inch wide. Some have a second bor der on the inside of the black. It may be merely a pin stripe or it may be three-eighths of an inch.
 In mourning very little jewelry is worn, and that must be the simplest of the simple. Pearls and dull jet are combined into artistic little pins and necklaces. Dull black enamel pins

are also used.
 Hens of ruffles and dresses are hemstitched or are finished with a picot edging, which is merely having a piere of the material hemstitched and then cut down the center of the hemstitching; this leaves a picot edg- ing on either side.
 Shoes should be worn of dull black kid. The low shoe should have dull kid buckle while for the high-heeled slipper a round flat button of jet is correct.
 Gloves, of course, are always black. Usually rather long, wrinkling about the wrist. Heavy black kid gloves are proper to wear with the severely tailored suit. Long black kid gloves are also worn when desired, but long suede gloves to wear with the cos tune are to be preferred.

HOW ID LIVE
 ONE HUNDRED YEARS
THIS IS THE NAME OF A NEW BOOK BY EUGENE CHRIS
 THAN, F. s. D.

Eugene Christian, F. s. D., the worlds greatest Food Scientist, has just published a new book called How to Live 100 Years"
 This book tells you what to eat according to your age, your work and the time of the year. It teaches you how to select. how to combine and so as to establish perfect digestion and assimilation of food and perfect elimination of waste. Tn other words, it teaches you how to cure all stomach and intestinal disorders by removing their causes. which is wrong eating.
 If you have indigestion, gas, fermen- tation, sour stomach or any such dis orders after meal, this book tells you how to put the remedy on your table at the next meal
 Dr. Christian shows that all animals how to proportion your food at meals except man live about eight times as long as it takes them to get their growth. If man should do this he would live nearly 200 years; but ciyi- lized man dies at the average age Of 39. He begins to lose his teeth, his eyes and his hair, and drops into his grave only a few years after he is grown.
 Dr. Christian shows that p per cent of all the human beings born into the world die before they are one year old. Twenty-Five per cent more die before their fifth birthday, and more than half of the human race die before they are twenty-five.
 All other animals on the globe live eight times as long as it takes them to get their growth Man breathes the same air, drinks the same water, lives under the same sunshine, but differs from his brother animals only in his eating, therefore Dr. Christian shows conclusively that this appalling discrepancy must be on account of his eating habits and he has proved that his theory is true by curing over 23,O00 people within the past ten years by tdhching them what to eat and how to eat How to Live 100 Years" gives the secret of his methods.
 This book does not disarrange or upset the family table It teaches the housewife what foods the meal should be composed of, so as to make them chemically harmonious and perfectly digestible and healthy.
 This book is beautifully bound in velum, and gold lettered. Send one dollar to Dr. Eugene Christian, 213 West 79th Street, New York City, and you will receive this life-saving book by return mail, and if it is not worth it's weight in gold your money will be promptly refunded to you.

with a dull finish is serviceable and smart Pure white or dull black lin ings should be used
 Soft faille silk with a dull luster Is used for the more dresy type of suit. Ripple silk, which is heavy variety of Canton silk, may be used, also, for this type of costume.
 For an afternoon dress crepe de Chine is most attractive and distinC' tive. One charming feature of this silk is that it may be self trimmed, and, if anything, this enhances its beauty. All costumes worn for first mourning may be combined with crepe. But crepe should be used sparingly, as too much is in poor taste.
 From among a number of mourning dresses I picked out models for my illustrations which are conservative and stylish, both showing the attrac- tive use of crepe, and dull silk as a trimming.
 The first is a dull cire satin. At the lower edge of the long tunic is a wide band of corded silk cut on the bias. This same silk is used to edge the V shaped opening of the over waist, front and back. A long-sleev- ed guimpe of net is worn with this dress whose most noticeable feature is its stiffly standing frill of lace at the neck. The plain hat is of cire satin with trimming of the corded silk and of gathered maline.
 Voile and net are two materials widely used for summer and fall dresses and for mourning, when vari, ety is limited, it is very smart. My second illustration shows a dress of black voile The skirt with triple circular ruffles has a band of crepe edging each each ruffle. The waist is made with kimono-cut sleeves hay ing a circular cuff which is also trim med with a band of crepe as is the front of the voile waist The chemi sette and collar are of black net over white and hemstitched. A wide gir dle of crepe which buttons down the front completes the costume.
 A charming dress of net is made with waist in bolero effect Around the edges of this bolero, which ex tends to the shoulder and underarm seams only, is a ball fringe of dul black wooden beads. In the corners of the bolero are beaded motifs ir very fine dull black beads.
 Chiffon cloth is widely used foI mourning waists and lends itseli charmingly to the simple trimming oi
