The Gumba are said to have made
pottery and to have taught the Kikuyu

Washington, June 24.-The Mexican
authorities in the state Of Sonora,
where Americans are threatened with

have served a practical ultimatum on
Admiral Howard, who has gone to the
rescue, that he must not land his
forces on Mexican soil. Secretary
Daniels said after receiving this in
formation on Tuesday that he would
not send Admiral Howard any further
instructions. The state and navy de-

to the discretion of Admiral Howard
whether or not he shall land and take

4 time appointed a committee of five to prepare
Z a declaration of independence of the same pur-
port as Lees resolution. in the hope that the
new doctrine would be unanimously accepted
when the matter should be again taken up in
July. III" s 70 '&'E it'51 2.E y,35&E FSas$
Policy demanded that a southerner should
be chosen to write the declaration in order to
increase the probability of its unanimous adop-
tion. Logically Jefferson the man to carry
this work through, for the mastery style of his
pen was well known. With such coworkers,
though, it cannot be supposed that he alone was
the author Of the resolution: for the RESPONSE
bility had been assigned to all five jointly, and
the counsel and advice Of all were necessary
= However, the credit Of the phraseology is given
to Jefferson, while John Adams is said to have
given close attention to the revision and the
amending of the resolution. The entire commit
tee helped perfect the documents by making 1t the
subject of critical analysis. In allowing the
Declaration of Independence to be ready before
its assembly on June % congress preceded its
schedule :, r. j':I.,} S;E5&$H ''% t"5' .'-" ~.
Satisfied that all were acquainted with its con-
tents, the legislature then laid the bill on the
table until It should come up for discussion by
congress sitting committee Of the whole.
BY trial vote July only nine colonies voted
as favorable to the resolution. $5N5,$EI
Final legislative action therefore deferred
until the next day. That, July 2, was probably
the most memorable OF all dates of our national
history. During the stormy debate at that time
the declaration was both attacked and COM
mended. -
When the vote of the day was taken it was found
that the declaration had been unanimously In
dorsed by all of the thirteen colonies a$$
The vote in favor Of the declaration was not
sufficient to make the adoption of the new reso-
luton complete, for the next day congress sat as
committee of the whole to consider the bill. At
that time slight alterations were made. certain
clauses censuring England were omitted and
others regarding slave trade were left out. while
other amendments were added. a'es@f
On July congress assembled again and i'm
mediately resolved itself into committee for the
consideration of the Declaration of Independence.
When John Hancock, as president of the con-
gress, resumed the chair, Mr. Harrison, great
grandfather Of our former president of the United
States, reported that his committee had agreed
to the declaration, which they desired him to
report S%3%E 49,

Grippe a Robber Of
Strength and Flesh
Run Down, Undsr~eight People Should
Regain Lost Flesh and Strength
at This Season.

People who have gone through winter
suffering q succession of coughs. colds,
grippe, catarrh or other ailments pecu-
liar to cold weather will probably be
surprised, if they climb on weighing
scales, to see how much flesh they have
lost. Most everyone reaches Spring
with weight decreased, vitality lowered.
nerves affected and general health and
strength impaired.
The best way to regain lost flesh and
strength is through the original source
of all flesh and strength-your food.
Food, however, produces flesh and
strength only in the proportion in which
its nourishing elements are absorbed
by the blood. Loss Of weight indicates
a leakage of the fats. sugars and
starches of your food. Instead of go
ing to the blood they are passing
through your body as waste. The
assimilative functions of your stomach
and intestines are out of order and you
need something that will get them
working right again. Nothing Is better
for this purpose than single Sargol
tablet eaten at meals Tor u lew weeks.
Sargol does no tbuild flesh of itself and
taken between meals is of little value
for the purpose, but, swallowed with
your food, it acts upon every mouthful
you eat. first separating all the fats.
oils, sugars, starches and other mater
ials which make for flesh and strength
from the waste matter and then pre-
pairing all these fat making. nourish-
ing elements into form which the
blood can readily absorb and distribute
throughout the body. The effect is
quickly felt. Reported gains in weight
OF from ten to twenty five pounds a
month are by no means infrequent. Yet
its action is perfectly natural and abso-
lutely harmless. Sargol is sold by Nc
Bride & VIII Drug Co. and leading
druggists everywhere and every pack
age contains positive guarantee Of
weight increase or money back.
Caution :-Sargol Is widely used as a
general body builder and for many
nervous troubles, but when used for
such purposes alone and where patient
does not desire an increase Of weight
it should be taken. not less than one
hour after meals. II taken at meal
times it will almost certainly produce
an increase In weight that some may
not desire.
