BRONCHITIS CONQUERED
Royersford, Pa, Man Tells How

At this season Of year with such
sudden changes, it is so easy to take
cold, and almost before one Is aware
there is Inflammation in the bronchial
tubes-a hard cough and unless

troubles may result.
Townsend Young Of Royersford,
Pa, says: "A severe bronchial trou.
BILE contracted caused me much din.
Guilty about breathing. My chest felt
clogged up and there was consider.
able soreness. I tried different rem.
edies without help; but am glad to
say that Vinol cured my bronchial
trouble which had lasted for three
months. My breathing is all right
and the soreness entirely gone from

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.

Des Moines, May 3.-The week as
whole was cold and cloudy. The
average temperature was slightly
above normal in the eastern and
central and slightly below the nor
NAL in the western districts. No
frost occurred except in the extreme
vegetation was not far enough adj
vanced to be injured. COpious to
heavy showers occurred in all Sec
tons, but the rainfall was generally
less than the normal in the east
central and was heav' and, in some
localities, excessive in the western
counties; the greatest amounts be-
ing reported from the southwestern
district. The wet weather delayed
blowing and the cold nights retard-
ed corn planting. The rain, howev-
err, was of great value to grasses and
small grains. Cherry, plum and
peach trees are in full bloom in
the central and southern counties,
but many apple trees are not show
ing the usual amount of blossoms,
probably owing to the drought OF
last summer and the heavy crop pro-
duced last year. A heavy and dam
aging hail storm occurred in the
eastern part of Polk county on the
afternoon Of May Sd.

ENJOYS n6s 81 Atti-
tude Of Rebels.
CARRANzA IS NOTIFIED
Refusal to Agree to Armistice
With Huerta Is Reason.

Washington, May 5.-General Car
rama and the Constituencies prac-
tically were eliminated from the pro-
ceedings of the three South American
ENJOYS who have undertaken to solve
the Mexican problem by diplomacy.
In a telegram to General CarranZa
the mediators announced that in view
of his refusal to agree to an armistice
with General Huerta they withdraw
their invitation to him to send per-
scnal representative to participate in
the mediation negotiations
The mediators told the Constitution
alist that so long as he maintains his
present attitude they must decline to
treat with him. General Carranza had
inquired in note to the ENJOYS what
subjects special representative
might be required to discuss, point
ing out that if the general problem of
pacifying Mexico is to be approached
he cannot authorize any one to par.
ticipate in the negotiations.
Carranza Outlines Attitude.
He reiterated that he will consent
to mediation only on the incidents
which had brought about a controver'
sy between the United States and
Mexico" holding that he is the con-
sstitutionally chosen leader to whom
complaint about the insult at Tampico
and other offenses originally should
have been made
In their telegram the mediators
adding that so long as he maintains
that attitude they must decline to re-
ceive a representative from him, as
they cannot separate the incidents at
Tampico and elsewhere which have
brought about friction between Mex
leo and the United States from the
general subject of pacifying Mexico.
This new turn in events ended, in
the view of many officials, the chance
of solving the entire Mexican prob
lem Immediately, though it did not
lessen the enthusiasm Of the medi'
ators, who will continue their efforts
to solve the differences between Huer-
II and the United States, which d.
rectly brought about the present crisis.
huerta Names Delegates.
The South American mediators held
three lengthy sessions, announcing
through Secretary Bryan that General
Huerta has designated D. Emilio Ra-
hasa, an eminent Mexican jurist; Au-
gustin Rodriguez and Luis Elguero,
a prominent lawyer, as his delegates
to confer with the mediators.
Reports of the desperate condition
OF Huerta at Mexico City continued to
circulate and with such circumstan.
tial detail from authentic sources as
to leave no doubt of his critical condi-
ton.
There have been some amusing
features to tighten the serious aspects
of the mediation proceedings. The
mediators have been receiving many
letters approving their course and Of
fering advice. One letter urged that
Theodore Roosevelt is the man to set
up a provisional government in Mex
leo, backed by North. South and Cen
trail Americas, and that the Spanish
republics should induce him to under
take the provisional direction Of af-
fairs at Mexico City.

Attorney Charles Horgan, who de-
Tended two women caught by the
morals squad with the aid of stool
pigeon.
1.-THE use of the stool pigeon is the
most contemplate trick so far played
by the morals squad" said Morgan.
Judges have cried out against the
practice for years. They have said
time and time again that it was GRIM
inal for man to conspire to have an
other commit a crime And that's
what has been done by the stool
pigeons in use by the morals squad.
I'm this case ca man meets a wo-
man on the street. He suggests that
they go to a room When he has the
girl trapped he calls the police. And
then they rush in and grab the girl.
And the man, who is the most guilty
because he inspired the crime, goes
free"
The girls arraigned in the Morals
Court were Elsie Wheeler and JOS
ephine Kelly. The latter is house
keeper at the Bell Hotel, 1910 S. Wa
bash avenue.
Inspector Dannenberg, Funkhous-
er's chief assistant, got very suspi-
cious recently regarding the Bell Ho-'
tel. So he called in two of his trusty
near-sleuths, Joseph Thoney and
Emil Kowalske, and told them to get
busy. Kowalske, by the way, is the
sleuth who got so badly messed when
he went around showing his star to
his school friends on the North Side.
Thoney and Kowalske pulled their
hats down over their eyes and started
on the trail. For days they lounged
around the Bell Hotel waiting for a
woman to enter

man dead to rights entering the place.

frame-up. The pigeon was to walk
down Wabash avenue with the
sleuths trailing him and try and pick
up woman.
He finally succeeded in picking up
Elsie Wheeler. They went to the Bell
Hotel, where he registered for him
self and the girl as man and wife.
When the two sleuths thought they
had given him enough of a good time
they entered the hotel. They began
search of the rooms.
Finally they found their informer.
But the girl was not in the room. On
the word of the pigeon they also ar
rested the Kelly woman, who was on
duty as housekeeper.
They located the Wheeler girl few
minutes later and then arrested her
and Josephine Kelly. The pigeon was
allowed to make a getaway.
They refused to produce him in
court also. Judge Goodnow freed the
Kelly woman and gave Elsie Wheeler
a nominal fine.

The necessity of housekeeping and

Clares women possess intellectual aCu-
men equal to or greater than that of
men
Miss iIollingworth states her pa
per is the outcome of prolonged
reflection on the doctrine OF greater
male variability advanced by the psy-
chologist, L. l., Thorndike. DR.. Thorn
sdike's contention is that because men
differ in intelligence and energy by
wider extremes than do women, emil
hence in the worlds affairs "ineVita-

Miss HolingWorth prints COM
piiation of statistics gained from ex-
perimentS and measurements of men
and women which tend to show
women have greater range and are
morev ariable in their intellects and
energies than men. Her conclusion
is that women should limit the num-
Der of children they bear and find a
way to vary from their mode as men
do, for both the enrichment of So

Housekeeping and the rearing of
