THIRTY-0NE KILLED
IN FIRST ENCOUNTER

Ell Paso, Tex, April -Four hun
dred American cavalrymen, under the
command of Colonel George A. Dodd,
whirling down from the granite slopes
of the great continental divide, have
fallen like a thunderbolt on the main
body of Francisco Villas bandits at
the San Geronimo ranch, scattering
them like chaff in the wind and driv-
ing the bandit chief, wounded and
crippled, to seek hiding place in the
mountains over which he has ruled for
so many years.
The bandits made brief but help
less stand before the fierce charge of
Colonel Dodd and his troopers. Then
they broke and fed, leaving thirty-one
dead on the field, including their COM
mander, General Eliseo Hernandez.
Two machine guns, a number of
horses, rifles, ammunition and equip
ment fell into the hands of the victors.
Among the known dead is Pablo Lo-
peg, Villas lieutenant in the Column
bus raid.
The American casualties were four
privates wounded.

sI4.L(S IS FINE FOR
KIDNEYS, OUT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at once when Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which clogs the kidney pores so they
sluggishly filter or strain only part OF
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then you get sick Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish kid
neys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts, or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by sensation Of scalding, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
pharmacy and take tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
b.ned with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine SO it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which all reg
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kid
ney complications

SCOUTS HUNTING FOR TRAIL
Six Columns of American Cavalry Are
Securing the Country in vicin-
ity of Recent Battle.

San Antonio, Tex, April 4.-The
fear expressed at army headquarters
that Francisco Villa had escaped from
the region in which General Per-
shing's cavalry columns are operating
became a conviction.
No report from Mexico said he had
disappeared, but all information OBJ
tanned indicated that he was gone.
General Pershings report contained
the news that at least part of the
dispersed Villa force that was driven
from Guerrero March 20, still was
moving in the district northeast OF
that place, but no mention of Villa S
whereabouts was made.
Six columns of cavalry were still
riding the plains in that section, while
scouts were endeavoring to pick up
the trail of the scattered bands, as
we'll as that of their fugitive chief.
One force of Villas men, estimated
at 100, commanded by Colonel Bel
tram, was located near Bachineva
about twenty-five miles northeast OF
Guerrero, and information was gath
cred that indicated the remainder OF
the 400 or 500 still were in that re-
gion.
No reference was made in that re-
gion of an encounter that was men
toned in press dispatches from the
front

THEY PUZZLED HUXLEY.
Terms In Which He Found 1t Difficult
to Define His Belief.

Huxley once wondered whether he
was a deist, an atheist, an agnostic,
pantheist, materialist or skeptic, an
idealist, Christian, an infdel or a
freethinker. And the more he reflect
ed the deeper his problem. What an
swer will any one make? DR.. James
G. Fernald in his work Synonyms and
Antonyms" defines each according to
his own belief, as follows:
1.-The deist admits the existence of
God, but denies that the Christian
Scriptures are a revelation from Him.
The atheist denies that there is God
The agnostic denies either that we do
know or that we can know whether
there is God. The skeptic doubts di-
vine revelation.
1.-The inf1del Is an opprobrious term
that might once almost have been said
to be geographical in its range. The
crusaders called all Mohammedans in
fidels and were SO called by them in
return. The word is commonly applied
to any decided opponent of an accept
ed religion.
"a freethinker Is inclined or addict
ed to free thinking, especially one who
rejects authority or inspiration in re-
ligion. A materialist takes interest
only in the material or bodily necessi-
ties and comforts Of life. A pantheist
accepts the doctrine of pantheism. An
idealist idealizes or seeks an ideal or
ideal conditions. A Christian is one
whose profession and life conform to
the teaching aud example of Christ.
"Pantheism is the doctrine that God
and the universe are identical. 1t con-
trasts with atheism as the positive de-
NAL and with agnosticism as the dog
matte doubt of the existence of God.
1t opposes that form of deism which
denies the divine immanence and sep
arates God from the world"

STORY OF A WEATHER VANE.
Why a Grasshopper Tops the Royal
Exchange In London.

Why Grasshopper Tops the Royal
Exchange In London.
If you ever go to London among the
places of interest there you will visit
the public buildings known as the
Royal Exchange. There Ia cupola at
the top of that building. Rising from
that cupola is an iron rod with d huge
grasshopper on it for a weather vane.
And there is an interesting story con-
nected with that grasshopper. 1t is
this: One day, more than 300 years
ago, mother in England had an in
FAINT, a few months old. which she
wanted to get rid of. So she wrapped
it up in a shawl and laid it down I'm
der bush in a field and left it there
to die unless some one should find it
and take care of it.
Shortly after little boy was coming
home from school AS he passed by
the place he heard a grasshopper chirp-
ing in the field. He stopped moment
to listen to it. Then he climbed over
the fence to get it. But just as he was
about to catch it he caught sight Of
the baby close by. He let the grass
hopper go and, taking the baby in his
arms, carried it home to his mother
She took charge of the baby and
brought him up. He turned out to be
a good, pious boy. He was always de-
cided in doing what he knew was
right and in not doing what was
wrong.
When young man he went to Lon
don and entered into business there.
He was successful in business and be-
came rich. He was not only rich, but
great. He was knighted and Is we'll
known in English history as Sir Thorn
as Gresham. The Royal Exchange
was built in honor of him. And he had
the grasshopper put as weather vane
ON the top Of it in memory of the won
derful way in which when an infant
his life was saved by the good provi-
dence of God.-Richard Newton in BIZ
BILE Models.
