Truman Plantz is another Hancock

Rumor VS.. Fact.

New York World: 1t is noticeable
that most of the alarming reports as
to conditions in Mexico are 1nveri-
ed rufimors that circulate freely on
the border, where the wish for inter
vention is very strong. The few brief
chronicles that come from the Amer

neither panic nor desperation.
Whether this expedition results in
the bandits capture or not, 1t has
been a wonderful success thus far in
convincing the Mehcans that it was
undertaken honestly and without
thought of the aggression which so
many interests on this side Of the
line have constantly in their hopes.

get instant relief.

Most of US neglect coughs and colds.
We brush suggestions aside with the re-

Kings New Discovery does it! Search
as you viii, you will not find better
remedy.
DR.. Kings New Discovery is made of
Pine Tar mixed with soothing ba1sams
and laxatives. It's antiseptic and kills
the germs, a1lays the cold-fever and
soothes the irritated, infamed throat.
The very first dose gives you relief. Yop
cough with less strain And if you have
a hacking or dry night cough, grateful
relief follows and you soon drop into q
restful and refreshing sleep. Get bot
