EXECUTED CURSING AMERICAN PEOPLE
Mexican Brothers Pay Death Pen- alty for Killing Texas RanCher

El Paso, Tex, Jan. 24.-W1th curses upon their lips against the American people, two young Mexicans, brothers, were shot to death by Carranza firing squad in the Juarez cemetery at 6:07 yesterday morning for the murder Friday afternoon of Bert L. Akers, an American rancher of Ysleta, Texas Bernardo and Federico Duran, the executed men, went to their deaths standing shoul- Ger to shoulder against the white washed adobe wall of the cemetery. They faced the firing squad with un- Gaunted bravery, refused to be blind folded and fell together at the first volley.
 The execution was witnessed by fifty Americans, including two women. Watch How Mexicans Die Almost their last words was this challenge, flung at the small group of American newspaper men and friends Of the murdered Akers:
 Watch and see how Mexicans die, you Americans - The only plea of any sort was made by Bernardo Duran, the elder brother, few minutes before the end
 Standing beside the cemetery gate, he said:
 We are dying for you Americans, Tell the world that. I shot the American because he was trying to force entrance to my home. I was defending my rights, as any man would have done.
 Brother Entirely Innocent.
 My brother here is entirely inno- cent He didn't fire a shot but they are going to kill him, too. Tell me, is that justice? He is being sacrificed to your American public opinion. We are not afraid to die, butt why should an innocent man be killed? He is

Scripture that needs often to be

If the churches to-day would adopt

offices in a congregation is a grave
mistake. 1t cuts in several directions.
The busy good men do not put their
whole powers into any one task so
that the work suffers. Others who
might do the work, are kept there
from, to the loss of themselves and the
church. That is a wise fashion which
is growing in many churches of adopt

are groaning for more of power in

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most. if not all. OF, your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it. no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy. silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work.-Advertisem

Christians were not as well looked
after as the Jews-a natural condi-

the apostles quickly took action. They
did not hesitate to assume all the
blame themselves, and to recognize
that an injustice had unwittingly been
done.
More than that. The first spirit
of the church appears in the fact that
all the seven deacons elected had
Grecisn names. This was lin honor

WHY "ANURIC''
is AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATHl
Sufferers From Backache Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will
take a risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are a good risk When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
gout. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience-sucha as DIR. Pierce. of the
InValids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, n. Y. Send him 10c. for large
trial package of his new discovery
"Anuric." Write him your symptoms
and send a sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
"Anuric" is the most powerful agent
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-02-25

in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar, besides being absolutely
harmless and is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in a healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being so many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration of the blood-vessels, as
we'll as regulating blood pressure.
"Anuric" is a regular insurance and
life-saver for all big meat eaters and
those who deposit lime-salts in their
joints. Ask the druggist for "Anuric"
put up by DR.. Pierce, in o0-cent pack
ages.

Cold and Windy Weather interferes

The condition of the city water sup
ply remained about the same this fore
noon as il was at the corresponding

wells in the last twenty four hours has
been just little less than enough to
supply the water consumed. The sup
ply in the reservoir fell about a foot
since Tuesday forenoon, Superinten-
dent Madsen, said today. This was ;
trifle less loss than during the twenty
four hours ending Tuesday forenoon.
The water pumped in the twenty
four hours ending Tuesday noon was
1855, 900 gallons, about the daily aver
age recently. But today Madsen said
more water was being consumed,
probably due 10 the increasing cold 1t
is always a noticeable fact that more
water is consumer, or wasted, when
ever the weather drops below zero,
than when It is warmer. II Is pre-
sumed that many consumers keep their
MIGRANTS running 10 prevent freezing
While the water being drawn from
the wells is about sufficient TO supply
the average present normal needs of
the city, no surplus is being accumu-
lated IN the reservoir for an emergency.
