port has just reached headquarters

listas to the south of here.
A number of Villistas were Killed

part in the raid at Columbus.
Two of this number were suffering
from wounds which made it impossi-
BILE to move them. The other six were
taken to camp and will be sent back
to Columbus.
Villas Death Unconfirmed.
San Antonio, Tex, April 12.-Gen-
eral Funston said that General Perish
ing had made no request for additional
troops.
Headquarters officials were frank in
their expressions of amaZement that
General Pershing had gone SO far with
the forces he has and almost hourly
have expected word from him that he
dare not send further into Mexico the
cavalry columns now about Parral, 400
miles south of the border, unless more
men for the extension Of the line of
communication are provided.
In the absence of any news from
an official source indicating Villas
death, the routine work incidental to
the conduct of the punitive expedition
work in Mexico was continued at de-
partmental headquarters.
No Report of Villas Death.
General Funston was shown press
dispatches from various quarters con-
tanning the rumor that the bandit
chieftain had succumbed to his
wounds southwest of Chihuahua, but
no communication containing even the
rumor was received from any army
officer, it was said General Funston
made no comment On the reports that
Villa was dead.
General Pershing now has some
thing less than 10000 men and along
the border there are something more
than $4,000. General Funston does not
consider it wise to remove any of those
now on duty along the border, unless
their places are taken by others.
There are only about 1000 others
available, it is said.
General Pershing is expected to
reach Satevo, 40 miles south OF Chi
huahua, tonight, according to report
received by General Funston.
Villa Reported Dead.
General Pershing's Headquarters at
Front, April 70, via Mexican Telegraph
to Juarez, Mex-Renewed reports
have been received here by General
Pershing that Francisco Villa is dead
and buried. These reports are under
investigation.
Meanwhile the hunt for the Villa
bandits is proceeding with renewed
vigor with the arrival at the front of
General Pershing.
Mexicans who had seen Villa on his
fight south said that the bandit
looked thin and emaciated week
ago.

Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sluices of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, staenant matter.

Those Of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom.
acll, lame back, can, instead, both
look and feel as fresh as daisy always
by washing the poisors and toxins
from the body with phosphated hot
water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
Is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and 1t
is said to be but a little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate will cost very little at
your druggist or from the store, but
is sufficient to make anyone who is
bothered with biliousness, constipa-
ton, stomach trouble or rheumatism
a real enthusiast on the subject of in
ternal sanitation. Try 4 and you are
assured that you will look better and
feel better in every way shortly

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and ioggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
