Cross Eyed Msntnilx.

Do you ever start to say something and find yourself using the word you hadn't the faintest idea of using? Just a little cross eyed mentally, aren't you Did you ever mean to jam your foot on the accelerator and slam it down on the brake fnstead2 Have you ever put salt twice on the same ,plateful of food when one of the applfca tions should have been pepper? Did you ever laugh at the wrong time at the theater, or sneeze unnecessarily at a funeral, or fall to sleep quietly in church, or soicitously inquire where So-and-so is nowadays when the poor chap has been dead six months? Sure you have. Everybody does it. We're all just bit mentally cross eyed some times, and we don't look where it seems that we are looking. What we really need to look out for is not doing queer things too often. If we do there's no telling what may happen to us. We may get into the papersl- Springfield Union.

I am not going to stop, said the Lax-a-Tone man at Hartigan's Drug Store, S1 Fairfield avenue, until have published the fame of Lax-a-Tone throughout the state of Connecticut. The article has merit and the people are finding it out fast, and by the way that the satisfied customers come in it will surely only be short time until all will know what Lax-a-Tone is. If you have a friend or neighbor that is using it ask them don't take my word. MT. ServiIla, who is a well known man in Bridgeport, and is employed by Cornwall & Patterson, says:
 My wife has had indigestion and sour acid stomach for the past eight years she had to be very careful as to what she ate as many foods would start the gas and bloat, she felt tired out and 1anguid as most stomach suf- ferers do. we decided to try Lax-a- Tone and much to our surprise she can eat anything at all without distress. I ann pleased. to indorse it to my friends

 It is not alone in spying after the Villa forces, however, that the first squadron will be employed. The fly ing men are expected to pick out cam ping places, watering spots and in some cases pathways over the noun tafns which the mule trains can fol- low

Fl Paso, March 21.-Further news of the battle reported to have been waged late yesterday near Namfquipa be- tween Carranza troops and a force of bndits led by Francisco Villa is being impatient1y awaited along the border today.
 A strong .Carranza force has been stationed at Naniquipa, forming a part of the chain of defenses which the de facto government has thrown across southern Guerrero. If Villa has been able to break past this obstacle the way is open for a flight into north can proceed eastward into the fast nesses of the high ranges shutting in the NamiQuipa district.
 News of the battle was received first the Carranza troops stationed at Jua- reg. General Gaviera's despatches did not state the number of Villa men en- gagged, but Col. Caho, commanding the Carranza troops, is said to have had a force of 900.
 Interest was shown in wireless des- patches from the front stating that six bipIanes of the first aero squadron, commanded, by Captain Benjamin D. Foulois, had joined the American ex- peditionary forces.
 Henceforth, aeroplane scouting is expected here to play an important part in the progress of General Per- shings's columns. At Eli Valle and Cruces, according to travellers in the Santa Maria valley, there are 1oca- tions suitable for aeroplane bases. From these points the army airmen are expected to make frequent recon over the lofty reaches of the Sierra NTadre range.

HOLLAND HOUSED OVER SINKING OF
 LINER lTUBANTIA

The Hague, Netherlands, March 21.- The official German declaration that no German submarine was responsible
 for the destruction of the Dutch
 steamship Tubania, has failed to sat isfy the Dutch people and press whose resentment has increased to bitter an-
 ger since receipts of the news that other ships have been sunk, supposed ly by torpedoes. The question of ut most importance to all neutra1s, the Niewe Rotterdamasche Courant says, is whether neutral shipping in entirety is to be placed outside the community of nations and as possessing no rights whatever. This newspaper urges combined neu- tral action-a line of argument also taken by the vaderland and the Niewe Courant. of The Hague.

PROTOCOL IS PROPOSED
 TO U. s. BY GARRANZA
 FOR VILLA OPERATIONS

would be enabled to cooperate with out misunderstanding. Acting Secre- Itary Polk made it plain to Senor Ar redondo that the United States was i looking for the privilege of shipping supplies over the Mexican Northwest ern Railway to supply the columns of General Pershing. There was 8, strong; prospect last night that such a pro- toco1 will be negotiated, and signed by the two governments.
 While the United States would be hampered by a refusal of the de facto government to grant permission for the shipment of military Supplies over Mexican railways, it was explained in a State Department quarter last night that this government would not be in position to take offense, because the request is for something that the United States could only ask a privilege and not as right.
 Carranza Seeks More Data.
 While the protocol will provide for all matters such, as the use of Mexican railroads by American troops, the spe- cific request for permission to ship supplies from Fl Paso will be disposed of separately General Carranza has asked for additional information upon tht subject, and it will be forwarded to him immediately. State Depart ment officials declined to discuss the nature of the information desired, on the ground, that, while negotiations are in progress they must be held to be confidential.
 Officials fail to see why there should be any objection to such shipments It is not planned to use the rolling stock of the Mexican road-merely the tracks.
 The United States, it is understood, is prepared to make every concession possible under the circumstances to the de facto government. It is the de- sire of officials that nothing be done which would tend in the slightest way to eTnbarrass the de facto government or bring about any adverse feeling of any kind.
