sores itched so badly until it seemed
to me she would scratch herself to
pieces and then sore would form
and her clothes would stick to her
body and pull off the little scab, In
some places she would scratch and

to be large. She was affected about
a year.

Mexico City The Mexican foreign
ministre, senior Porillo y Rojas, an
nounced that it would be impossible
to agree to the demand Of the United
states that the flag Of that country
be Internationally saluted, because the
flag was not insnlted, because it was
not flying from the launch and because
the marines were set free even be-
fore an investigation. and the officer
responsible for the arrests was him
self arrested and held for trial. The
foreign minister further announced
that the Mexican government would
agree that both flags be saluted, the.
American flag first and then the Next
can flag, this arrangement to be made
by a protocol signed by the Ameri-
can charge d'affaires, Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy, and the Mexican foreign minis
ter. The United States government,
Senior Portfolio declared, had refused
permission to Charge O'Shaughnessy
to sign such protocol, and demand
ed an unconditional salute by Mexico,
which Mexico felt was incompatible
with her dignity In conclusion, the
foreign minister said: "Mexico has
yielded as much as she can.

STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT

Following Is the ofiicial statement is-
sued as representing the views Of
President Wilson and the administra-
tion on Mexico:
In discussions tn oficlal circles In
Washington Of the present Mexican
situation the following points have
lbeen very much dwelt upon
ut has been pointed out that, in
considering the present somewhat
delicate situation In Mexico, the un-
pleasant incident at Tampico must not
be thought OF alone. For some time
past the de facto government Of Mex
leo has seemed to think mere apollo
giles anhiclent when the rights OF
American citizens or the dignity Of
the government OF the United States
were involved and has apparently
shade no attempt at either reparation
or the effective correction Of the seri-
GUS derelictions Of It's civil and milf
tary oficers.
Orderly Placed In jail.
Immediately after the incident at
Tampico an orderly from one Of the
ships 81 the United states In the har-
dor OF Vera Cruz, who had been sent
ashore to the post office for the ships
mail. and who was IN uniform and
xsho had the ofacial mail bag on his
hack. was arrested and put into jail
by the local authorities, He was sub
sequently released and nominal pun
Eshment was inflicted upon the officer
who arrested him, but il was signih-
cant that an orderly from the tieet Of
tie United States was picked out
from the many persons constantly go
ing shore on various errands. from
the various ships in the harbor rep
Nesenting several nations
ohiclaI Dispatch Withheld.
Most serious Of all, the officials in
charge Of the telegraph Office at Mex
SEQ City presumed to withhold an ON
cial dispatch of the government Of the
unltad States to its embassy at Mex
sc0 City. until it should have been
k to the censor and his permission
received to deliver It, and gave the
dispatch into the hands OF the charge

mand he having In the meantime
learned through other channels that

he had net received.

oREss, BUT ORDERS ADMIRAL

Many preeedenta for Actlon.

The president feels that be has am
pie authority for the preparatory meas
ures he has adopted.
President Mckinley went so far as
to send an expedition to Peking dur
ing the Boxer revolt.
In 1851 the United States sloop Of
war Dale visited the island Of Johan-
ma aud under threat Of bombarding the
town obtained $1,000 as measure Of
redress for the unlawful imprison-
ment Of the captain Of an American
whaler.
In 1868 the Pembroke, small Amer
lean steamer, was fired upon by Jap
anese shore batteries. The American
minister demanded redress. for the IN
suit to the American flag. and the
commander Of the United States war
ship Wyoming opened fire on the re-
sponsible Japanese authorities
Example Set BY Seward.
Secretary OF State Seward In an Of
fetal note made the following state
ment. apropos of this Incident:
When the injury involves also an
insult to the flag OF the United States
the demand for satisfaction must be
imperative. and the United States
naval force at Japan may not only be
used to protect the legation and any of
the citizens OF the United States there
resident but the Tycoon is to be in
formed that the United States viii
as they shall find occasion, send add
tional forces to maintain the forego-
ing demands.
What President Wilson Is doing is
In line with the recorded presidents
He has demonstrated and satisfaction
has been refused He Is about to
make 3 naval demonstration. AS JEFF
ferson said. such an act lis considered
an act Of war and never failed to pro
duce it in the case Of nation able to
make war.

Cured in any case where representa-
tiyes OF other governments were con-
cerned, but only In dealings with rep

that there has been no occasion for
other governments to call attention to
such matters or to ask for apologies.
These repeated offenses against
the rights and dignity Of the United
States, offenses not duplicated with
regard to the representatives Of other
governments, have necessarily made
the impression that the government
Of the United States was singled out

A SPLENDID ASSIGNMENT.

Within the circle of ten representa- tive men of Hot Springs lies the possi- bilities of eliminating all this get to- gether" talk we have been having for some years. It is an assignment of responsibility of which every man should feel proud. and every man should feel homored.
 1t takes a let of talk to work out some things. We talked the Little Rock highway for years, and the work is just now in progress We talked 'get together" and will continue to talk it until there is worked out a unity of action in behalf of Hot Springs
 The ten men representing the two commercial bodies. with authority to centralize and consolidate the work ing forces of Hot Springs. have no gigantic task before them
 Their mediation will be successful. Concessions must be given in the same manner that concessions are asked There should be no disposi- tion to finesse. There should be a frank meeting of the points to be de cided and the decision should go into every detail of the reorganization. so that the report will be so fair it will have unanimous endorsement from all the people.
 The personnel of the whcle of the committee of ten is as follows;
 For the Business Mems League;
 Hamp Williams.
 C. N. Rix,
 Dr. A. U. Williams,
 Tom Petit,
 Gus Strauss.
 For the Chamber of Commerce:
 pr. IA. H. Tribble,
 Arthur Katz,
 Gilbert lHogaboom,
 Hartley Wooten.
 Dr. w. o. Forbes.
 We may be over-enthusiastic in this work. but it is cur firm conviction that the results of one harmonious commercial organization will be ever fruitful. We feel that the result of the work of this committee will be the and we therefore urge on the mem bers of both organizations that they iend their personal influence to the culmination of the assignment of the committee. 1t looks like a rift in the skies.

 It's power to instantly relieve any is ritation of the skin and make it soft, white and beatifui is almost msacu- lous.
 Not only do minor skin troubles like pimples, blackheads, acne, barbers itch, etc. quickly disappear, but the wrst ulcers or cases of salt rheum or eczema are cleansed and healed by this wonderful skin food.
 In order that any one may try Ho- kara at small expense Sorrells Drug Store is selsing a liberal sized jar at z9c' and in addition guarantee to re- |rRn the money If the treatment does not all that is claimed for 1t.
