How Mexican Crisis
Grew From Arrest
Of U, s. Bluejackets

This brought about the demand
for salute Of the flag
Assistant Paymaster Charles
c. Copp and boatioad Of Jack
les" anded at Tampico last
Thursday to obtain supplies. They
were arrested and marched
through the streets to a police
station, where they were later
discharged.
In accordance with naval usage,
Rear Admira Mayo. on consider
ing that an unwarranted arrest
had been made and that the uni
form Of the American navy had
been disresarded. demanded rep
aration in the form Of a salute OF
p guns.
Rear Admiral Mayo allowed the
Huerta commander until 6
O'clock that evening 70 fire the
salute, but later extended the
time in order to afford the oea
commando an opportunity to
communicate with Mexico CITY.
A statement Of apology was
issued IN Mexico City by President
Hperta and the ooaI officer who
arrested the blueIaokets was or
dsred punished.
This did not satisfy the United
States Government and the salute
was insisted upon
General Huerts himself at no
time agreed to comply, but in
quired of Charge o'shaughnessy
if a salute fired to the gunbost
Dolphin and responded TO by the
American ship would be accep-
table.
This was emphaticalIy rejected
and word sent that nothing short
Of public salute to the American
flag would be satisfactory

FEEL BADLY ALL OVER !

When you feel badly all over, but
with no particular organ of your body
noticeably out of order. you need a
tonic for the blood. You require a
medicine that will benefit the whole
system. The blood reaches every part
of the body and when it is built up
the whole system quickly benefits.
Dr. williams Pink Pills are nom
alcoholic tonic that build up the blood,
making it rich and red and able to
supply to the tissues of the body the
nourishment they need to keep them
in health.
Most general debility results from
thin blood. Every part of the body
suffers and you feel badly all over"
When the blood is restored and a
health giving stream is going to every
part of the body you soon see the re-
suit in a better appetite, an improved
digestion, brighter eyes, better color
in cheeks and lips.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are a most
valuable family tonic and should be
taken by every member of the family
except infants whenever the general
health is not what is should be. Much
downright sickness has been saved by
the use of a tonic or supporting medi-
cine in times of physical depression.
A book, Building Up the Blood"
will be sent free by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co, Schenectady, N. Y. on
request. All druggists sell DR.. Will
liams' Pink ills.-Advertisement.

A Wonderful Opportunity

A host of the readers of this paper
have secured Larned's History of the
World by means of our common offer

at a cost that makes 1t almost a gift.
This Is the latest work by Josephus
