After many months of patience with the bandit Villa
Uncle Sam has slipped off his kid gloves and gone him
with the mailed fist Although Uncle Sam sincerely wan
ted to keep of that eacheous country he could
any longer put up with the depredations occurring
almost every day
If the president had not said Go get Villa dead or
alive the pebple would have raised such a hullabaloo
about it there is telling Just what the frenzy Of the
country would have So the soldiers are last
on Villas trail and they are eager for the fray
The Mexicans so wishywashy it would not be
prising if Carranza should declare the United
States He is receiving too much ammunition from the
states and it may be trick he playing to make the
people think it for the pursuit of Villa in cahoos with
the American army After he gets big supply Of fight
ing material it is possible for him turn against his ben
eacors If he does will be of the most treacherous
deeds done by anybody anywhere. We hope though
he will 90 and help the best he for should
Villa be captured Caranza would be the undsputed ruler
of Mexico He has good future he works his noodle
Uncle Sam may yet have to either annex Mexico or
subdue the whole push The Wllachase may take anoth
er week and it may take year Guerrilla warfare will
be the natural mode fighting Has anybody here seen

STOP The cold
And AVOID Grip
Coughs and Colds Should Not Be
Neglected.

The lack OF resisting power that
precedes all kinds Of ill-health causes
coughs and colds. The theory of
some people to "let a cold run its
course should be supplanted by the
safe rule to never neglect a cold"
because it is from coughs and colds
that grippe. pneumonia and other
serious ailments usually develop. So
it behooves all who are prone to
take cold" to find a remedy to fore
stall it. In this connection Duffys
Pure Malt Whiskey will prove one of
the most effective remedies you have
ever tried, if taken in tablespoon
doses in equal amounts of water or
milk before meals and on retiring.
Because Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is
an absolutely pure tonic-stimulant, IL
assists in building up the weakened
and run down system by its beneficial
action on the stomach, the source of
most ills. II the system is in a
healthy condition it is invariably able
TO resist and throw OFF coughs, colds,
grippe and bronchitis prevalent at
this season. Remember. do not ne
glect a cold but get Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey al once from your local
druggist, grocer or dealer. S1.00. Il
