GALVESTON, Texas, Aug. l2.-The
statement that foreigners in Vera
Cruz are in danger is false. the Con-
stitutionalist government guarantees
the life and property OF individuals OF
whatever nationality"
The foregoing is the text Of cable.
gram signed by General Carranza and
received here this morning by Juan
I. Burns, his agent.
Another cablegram from Jesus Acu-
ma, Carranza's minister of foreign re-
lations, denies there has been any
anti-foreign demonstratNn in Vera
Cruz, but admits that the suburbante
official made speech the other day
in which the peace conference par
tiCipated in by the United States and
Latin American countries was sharp
ly criticized. This speech was de-
nounced by higher officials, and was
made without the sanction OF the Gar.
rama government the dispatches say.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-General
Funston reported today that he had
sent battalion of the Ninth infantry

He made no request, however, for ad-
ditional troops in response TO Secre.
tary Garrison's message OF yesterday,
saying all the mobile force not now
on the border would he sent II needed.
War Department officials would not
discuss the reports that secret or
ganizers in Texas were aligning Mexi.
cans under the "ptan Of San Diego"
Whether General Funston has re-.
communicated these reports was not
disclosed. II was apparent, however,
he had decided to concentrate a con-
siderable force in the Brownsville dis
trict, where the trouble appeared to
center.
BROWNSVILLE. Texas, Aug. 12.--

In the meantime the Russian rear

MAYOR BOWEN
HELPS CHILD

Mayor Bowen did a clever piece Of
detective work today as q result of
which a small lad was returned to his
parents before his absence had caused
any serious alarm. The child, little
chap Of about two years, and of a
most engaging personality, had spent
a part of the morning on Main street
and his lonely condition arrested the
attention OF resid ents In that vicinity.
He fatty refused any information as
to his identity and was apparently
unconcerned as to his lost state. He
was finally cajoled into entering the
Weber flower store, where he mount
ed chair and appeared TO be very
much contented, answering all ques-
tions with cherubic smile and moth
ing more.
Police headquar rters were communi-
Gated with, but no inquiries for lost
child had been made there. 1t was
here that Mayor Bowen took up the
case. He visited the Weber store and
made an attempt to interview the lost
boy, but on receiving no information
he offered a penny on the condition
that the little chap would go with the
Mayor.
Consent was gained and when a Sec
ond penny was offered II he would
take the Mayor to his home, he slid
out OF the chair with great alacrity.
and beat his way down Main street,
the Mayor following close behind. He
made stop at Mike Amatos where he
invested his rihces, then continued
his way down Main to Madison street, |
where he turned toward the depot.
He at last turned in the Tavern, where
his parents reside.

FINDS A CURE
FOR PELLAGRA

Harvey, La.-Mrs. S. W. Spruiell, of
this place, writes: IT suppose it will be
a great pleasure to you to know that you
cured my child. She had pellagra very
bad and the doctor said she never would
get well. She is well of pellagra and
looks fine.
"You may use this letter as a testimon-
ial if you wish. Great benefit have you
done my daughter, Mindie Abrams"
There is no longer any doubt that pei
lagra can be cured. Don't delay until it
is too late. 1t is your duty to consult the
resourceful Baughn.
The symptoms-hands red like sunburn,
skin peeling off, sore mouth, the lips,
throat and tongue flaming red, with
much mucus and choking; indigestion and
nausea, either diarrhoea or constipation.
There is hope; get Baughn's big Free
book on Pellagra and learn about the
remedy for Pellagra that has at last been
found. Address American Compromising
Co., box 2OS7, Jasper, Ala, remembering
money is refunded in any case where the

SHOULD COOL Off GRADUALLY
M'st5 to Turn the Hose on Per-
spring Team, Is the Assertion
Of Veterinarian.

In this hot weather there are al
"&yS number of fools who think
they are kind to their horses when
they turn hose on them and drench
them with cold water to thoroughly
cool them off, said veterinarian as
he stopped a driver from throwing
water over his perspiring team. If
the horse is oyerheated,' he contin.
Ued, the shock of such bath on
the region where the kidneys are sit
uated IS enough to kill it, and even if
1t does no apparent harm the horse
VIII SGccumb much more readily to
the heat afterward. After a horse has
been working in the br0iling sun it
should be cooled off as gradually as
possible. The first thing to do is to
take sponge and wash out its mouth
This removes the saliva, which is poi
sonous, and refreshes the animal
greatly, before it can be allowed tt
have drink After this the horse
should have its four legs bathed-tht
hind ones as far as its launches, the
front ones up to the chest, Then j
is safe to wet its head, neck and th'
part of its back Immediately behint
the neck. Care should be taken, how
ever, to keep the region of the kid
neys perfectly dry. This habit o
driving a team up before a fire Ell
CINE house and playing a hose mdis
crminately over their bodies is al
countable for the death Of many goo
