Level Bridge Opposed.
Commissioners said Saturday that
they believe the sentimen. throughout
the county is opposed to high level
bridge, which would cost approximate
twice the amount of a bridge at the
same site and would entail extensive
litigation with the railroad company
as we'll as with the property owners,
since much property would necessar-
lily damaged both east and west OF
the river
Pressure has been brought to bear
on the commissioners within the last
few weeks by business men on West
Main and on East Main between the
river and Seventh street who say that
the closing of the Main street bridge
has materially affected business, par
ticularly the transient trade which now
goes across the Doran bridge.
One of the principal reasons for TAX
ing immediate action on ordering plans
for the bridge and getting the work
, st~rted as soon a. possible is to re-
lieve the strain on the Doran bridge
Commissioner Cheesman said Satur-

However. the latest American note
has apparently left little ground for
the hope of such compromise.
Many publicists and statesmen ad.

these vessels would unquestionably be
seized by the United States.
The loss of shipping, however, is a
small matter compared with the eco
nomic strength and military power
which the United States could give tc
the allies.
Considering the difficult situation
and the possibilities that exist there
was naturally an under-current of opin
ion that higher craftsmanship would
find way of preventing a reinforce

Teutonic allies.

if Ford would advance the money

Further than this, il is declared,
Fowler agreed that the Matthew Addy

instead of having thirty-acre mine

mine that had been operated for sew

OF coal remained in this, unmined, and
the property was practically worthless.

will make the trip in a schoonermobile
which was recently completed for him
at the Pathfinder automobile factory.
indianapolis The schoonermobile has
a regular automobile chassis with a
body that resembles an old prairie
schooner. Ten years ago he passed
through Richmond over the same route
in a prairie schooner drawn by oxen.
At that time he was setting monu-

from his home in Seattle, Wash, to
Washington. d. C. He said Saturday
night that he expected to pass through
Richmond on the return trip in about
three weeks.

THIN PEOPLE GAINED
WEIGHT QUICKLY
BY Following This Simple Suggestion

BY Following TINS simple suggestion
Thin men and women who would
like to increase their weight with 10

fat should try eating a little Sargol
with their meals for while and note
results, Here is good test worth try
ing. First weigh yourself and measure
yourself. Then take Sargol-one ia b.
let every meal-for two weeks. Then
weigh and measure again. 1t isn't a
question of how you look or feel or
what your friends say and think. The
scales and the tape measure will tell
their own story. and many thin men
and women we believe can easily add
from five to eight pounds in the first
fourteen days by following this simple
direction. And best of all, the new
| flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make fat,
but mixing with your food it aims to
| turn the fats, sugars and starches of
what you have eaten, into rich, ripe
aft producing nourshment for the It's
sues and blood-prepare it in an easily
assimilated form which the blood can
readily accept. Much Of this nourish-
ment now passes from your body as
waste. But Sargol works to stop the
waste and do it quickly and to make
the fat producing contents of the very
same meals you are eating now devel-
| op pounds and pounds of healthy flesh
! between your skin and bones. Sargol
is. safe, pleasant, efficient and mex

and other leading druggists in this vi
! entity sell it in large boXes-forty tab

weight increase or money back as

Give UP HOPE
OF CAPTURING
GENERAL VILLA

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April "a
All hope of the immediate capture of
Francisco Villa, dead or alive, has
been abandoned by the American ex-
petition, which entered Mexico for
the one purpose of destroying the
scourge of the border. This much was
admitted today by army officers when
they found that General Pershing' g
punitive expedition had been had been
turned into a defensive organization.
The Washington announcement that
General recommendations for re
disposition" of the American troops in
Mexico had been approved was taken
here to indicate that conditions south
OF the border would become similar
to those which preceded the with
drawal from Vera Cruz.
General Funston to Leave.
It is expected that General Funston
will soon leave the border and that
Major General Scott. chief Of staff, will
remain here General Scott has alter
ed his plans for immediate return to
Washington.
If Funston goes south, he probably
will go into Mexico to inspect the
American positions there. He has as
vet received no official notice that
General Obregon, Mexican minister OF
war, is coming to the border TO con
fer with him.
While admitting that the pursuit OF
Villa was at a standstill, II not abso
lutely abandoned, General Scott today
failed to make clear the object of re
tanning troops in Mexico. When asked
the purpose of the decision reached
at washington he replied:
ASK Washington"
In the reply to an inquiry as tc
whether the resolve to keep the Unit
ed States soldiers in Mexico meant Ill
innate Intervention, General Scott re
plyed:
