be agreeable to our purposes. Your af- fectionate friend and colleague"
 General Obregon's answer was quoted as follows
 'Puebla, January F, 1915 General Eulalio Gutierrez. My Dear Friend and ColleaSue: l have just received your communication in which in your own name and the names of General Roblez Aguirc Benavides and Blanco. you ex- press the desire that our advance towards Mexico City should be suspended until you begin your campaign against Vil- la and the men who follow him in his work of brigandage and desolation.
 Cannot Stop Campaign
 'I am pleased to see that you have come to understand the justice or tine light We have waged from the beg inning against the Nillista faction, knowing that the worst crime that our history could record would be to enter into compromise with men who only serve as specimens of monstrosity, and you must now re- call with pain that one of the strongest reason We had as honest men to under take this new fight was that you, disre- garding the counsel of your friends, nuli- lied our last efforts to avoid it by ap- pointing Villa chief of operations.
 "l cannot arrest any military opera tions because this would be equivalent to betraying my brothers in arms who in different parts of the republic are fighting against the Villsta reaction, among whom is your brother.
 Whenever you by yoursdeeds declare war against Villa and his followers and place yourself in the position that every honest Mexican should hold at this time, shall do everything in my power to re-estabish peace.
 But if you continue to pursue your ambiguous policy of vacillation and weak ness. permitting the country to be dragged to desolation and ruin, 1 do not be. lieve the struggle should be stopped, be- cause the welfare of our country hangs on it's decision.
 T trust that when you have become convinced of the error which your letter clearly indicgtes you have discovered that you will not hesitate in assuming the attitude that honesty demands of you desire to inform you that I will not answer any further communications from you as long as you remain in league with the Villista faction. Affectionate greet lngs, ALNARO OBREGON."

BETTER THAN .ALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets--the substi.
tute for caiomei--are mild but sure laxa-
tive. and their effect on the liver is almost
instantaneous. They are the result of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat liver
and bowel complaints with calorlel. His
efforts to Danish it brought out these little
olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calcmel does but have 10 bad after eff
fects. They don't iajure the teeth like strong
liquids or calomel. They take hold of the
trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure
the liver at the expense of the teeth Cal
omei sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids.
1t is best not to take calornel, but to let
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, ''dullness'' and that
lazy FEELING come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets when You feel"ioggy'' and"heavv. .

The Matt Bill.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The malt
beverage bill is now engaging the at
tention of the state legislature. IT
provides for the manufacture of nom
alcoholic drinks like Malto Dextrine,
made by the Moehn Brewing company
of this city. Ultra prohibitionists in
the legislature are suspicious of the
measure and may be able to encom-
pass its defeat. Those in favor OF the
bill contend that the hundreds II
thousands of dollars now invested In
brewery properties in Iowa may not
be lost II the breweries. after Janu-
airy first, are permitted to turn their
endeavors toward the manufacture OF
non alcoholic malt beverages
The Hawk-Eye, for its part, believes
that the malt beverage bill should
rass. It can see no reason for its de-
feat It holds that the Iowa brewer
les have equal rights with other Iowa
plants and that the
practical confscation Of their property
by the legislature in refusing them
the right to manufacture non-alcoholic
malt drinks is wrong. Ultra prohibit
tionists must not confound prosecl.
ton with persecution.

The Leon Journal brings out the
name OF Hon. B. w. Garrett, now the
clerk Of the supreme court, as can
didate for the republican nomination
for governor, to which the Newton
Record adds: There is 40 man in the
state whom we could more gladly sup
port than Mr.. Garrett. We have
known him ever since he was a boy
living on the farm in Decatur county.
and have followed his career ND from
country school teacher to the high
position he now holds and have never
known him to do anything which he
did not believe to be right. He began
making speeches for the republican
party almost before he was out of his
teens and has been staunch SIM
porter of the party ever since. We
believe he would make fine gove-.
nor and would like to see him in that
position.

Combing Won't Rid
Hair OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid Of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy It
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces Of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most,
If not all, of your dandruf viii be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve s! and entirely destroy $
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You viii find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
q hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It is inexpensive and never fails

Some well meaning people are mis-
understanding the purpose Of Repre-
sentative Sawyer in his efforts to get
a near beer" bill passed by the
house. Sawyer comes probably the
nearest of being tetotaler in the
house, so his activity is not personal
He believed that if a satisfactory
drink could be manufa ctured. the fac
tories could continue operation and
thus the state would retain It's indus
tries without doing any harm from a
temperance point of view and the
property would not be confiscated as
it now is under the repeal OF the
mulct law. However. Mr.. Sawyer's
views were not shared in by major
ity of his colleagues and the measure
was defeated.
