Mrs, Wright Former AIabam-

Ell PASO, Tex, March 11.--Afrs. Maud
Hauke Wright, the former Alabama
woman who rode nine days with the
Villa troops preceding the raid on Co.
lumbus, N. NJ, is here today awaiting the
arrival of her baby which was taken
from her and given to a Mexican family
at their home near Pearson, Mexico. The
baby is safe and she expects it TO be
brought to her today or tomorrow. Her
husband was killed by the bandits.
II want to so to my baby" Mrs.
Wright said, lit would only take ME
three days to walk TO Pearson"
Because she suffered in silence and
held herself aloof, she was called La
.royna," queen of the Villistas, by the
troops. Villa had told one of the Of
ficers he preferred to have her die of
exhaustion rather than to kill ner out
right-and because she proved to be able
to withstand hardship better than his
own men, he promised to release her aft
er he had sacked Columbus. He also
agreed to give her 500 in gold, and 4
permit to travel upmolested throughout
Villa territory.
AVOIDED VILLA.
villa only talked TO me twice. Mrs.
Wright said. II avoided talking with
MIN because he would have thought L aG-
mired him and would have forced me TO
accompany him. He told his officers
how he would wipe out the town of Co
lumbus and then, when the United States
tried to invade Mexico, Germany and ia
pan would step in to interfere. Villa
believed this firmly. / have overheard

The first night 1 was allowed to sleep
in an abandoned adobe hut About thir-
ty saddles were piled in front of the
door. The guards slept with their heads
to the door and their feet to a fire just
beyond.

midnight l peered through the opening
of the saddles and spied Villas charger,
splendid steed, about fifty feet from
the hut. One by one 1 removed the
ddles and stepped over the sleeping

THE horse was tangled in his rope. /

Il was announced in Noveniber that
she Atlanta retailers and jObbers had
sold 1862 bottles since Taniac's intro
duction about six weeks before that
time; but now the gran dtotal for this
city alone has reached 100000 bottles
and the ratio OF increasing demand con-
tinues. over sec. O0e bottles have reach
cd the public through Nashville retail
ers and tobbers. Birmingham has sold
over $4,000. bottles; Knoxville over co.
600. and the Macon trade, which is just
getting I'm good swing, is beginning TO
handle Tanlacr IN carload lots. the last
car shipped there having been sold In
less than one month F
II the present rate continues, the
south alone will require considerably
over a million bottles per year. This
Ia a tremendous figure. If all OF the
TanIae users were gathered into an
army arranged single file, with space
allowed for marching and for baggage
trains and supplies, the line would
reach from the Gulf of Mexico to the
great Iakes-a mighty army that could
sweep across the country and defend
every inch of the Atlantic coast against
all corners.

today, according to a dispatch received
late tonight at the Mexican army head
quarters in Juarez.
WASHINGTON, March 11.-General
Funston asked the war department late
tonight for four additional regiments of
cavalry for patrol duty on the border.
General Scott, chief of staff, immedi-
ately issued orders for the Eleventh cav
airy, Fort Oglethorpe, Ca; the First cav
airy, Monterey. Cal, and the Twelfth
cavalary, Fort Robinson, Neb., to pro-
coed at once to the border. The Fifth
cavalry, which is divided into three
scuadrons stationed at Fort Sheridan,
III. Fort Leavenworth, Kan, and Fort
Meyer, Va, was ordered to hold itself in
readiness to move, as General Funston
said the Fourth regiment was not needed
Immediately. Late tonight Secretary
Baker said the department had no report
that any troops had crossed the border.
Army officers estimated 1t would take
from three to five days for the three cav
airy regiments to reach the border.
While no announcement was made, the
order was construed to mean that Gen.
eral Funston intended to employ the four
cavalry regiments now on duty along
the border both to the east and west of
Columbus as part of his expeditionary
force, which. IL is understood. will be
under the direct command of Brigadier
General Pershing. A regiment of noun
tain artillery with its twenty-four guns,
packed on mules, also is available in
that district and, this force. with nee
essary engineers to repair railroad
bridges DESTROYED by the bandits.

These enormous sales" said Mr..
willis. mean but one thing, and that
is-m@rit. TanIac is wen advertised
II is true, but such a large and rapidly
growing demand could not be brought
about BY advertising alone. It's what
the neighbors say that counts one
bottle Is sold in neighborhood through
advertising. but ten more are sold IN
that community after that first bottle
produces results: and that's right where
TanIac scores, People are always will
ing to talk about their ailments, but
they are more than willing to tell others
OF tae medicine that helps them. It's
something they couldn't keep to them
selves if they tried, for the impulse
to sympathize with neighbOrs and want
TO help them is one of the strongest
as well as one Of the biggest things in
human nature.
'sTanlac Is producing these results,
he continued, "and that is why nothing
on earth can keep ii out OF the homes
OF the people. II is not only the most
talked about medicine in the world to-
day. but, IN my opinion. IL is the best
ana most efficient. And. although prom
fnent officials and leaders throughout
the south have indorsed Tanlac. Its
greatest prestige is firmly based on
the unqualified Endorsement of the mass
S OF the people"
Not day nor a week passes thar
does not bring hundreds of statements
from the people concerning the good
this medicine is doing and reciting the
circumstances OF remarkable cases that
would convince the most skeptical These
are alone sufficient to explain the phe-
uomenal demand for Tanlac, but the
figures are more. The figures contained
in these enormous orders speak elo-
quentiy and convincingly OF the great
good Mr. Cooper's great medicine is
doing
