Hot Water for
 Sick Headaches
Telis why everyone should drink hot water with phosphate
 In 1t before breakfast.

! Headache of any kind, is caused by auto-intoxication-w means self poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons called toxins, sucked into the blood, through the lymph ducts, excite the heart which pumps the blood so fast that it congests in the smaller arteries and veins of the head producing vio- lent, throbbing pain and distress, called headache. You become nervous, de- spondent. sick. feverish and miserablei your meals sour and almost nauseate you. Then you resort to acetanilidet aspirin or the bromides which tempor- arily relieve but do not rid the blood of these irritating toxins.
 glass of hot water with teaspoon ful of limestone phosphate in it, drank before breakfast for awhile, will not only wash these poisons from your sys- tom and cure you of headache but will cleanse, purify and freshensthe entire alimentary canal.
 Ask your pharmacist for a quarter pound of limestone phosphate. It is in- expensive, harmless as sugar, and all most tasteless, except for a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant If you aren't feeling your best, if tongue Is coated or you wake up with bad taste. foul breath or have colds indigestion. biliousness, constipation or sour acid stomach. begin the phos- phated hot water cure to rid your system of toxins and poisons.
 Results are quick and 1t is claimed that those who continue to flush out the stomach, liver and bowels every morning never have any headache or know miserable moment.-Ads.

 politic/and wielded an influence in na- tional campaigns.
 Early in his political career Cox was elected to the city council. That, how ever, was the only elective office to which he ever aspired. He found the inner circle conferences of his party far more to his liking than the open work of the platform. As leader of the republican party in Hamilton county. lie selected as, his chief lieutenants August Hermann, now chairman of the president of the Cincinnati baseball club, and Rud Hynicka, who later be- came closely associated with MT. Cox in theatrical ventures. In the division of authority between these two, Cox assigned Herman to the city of Cin- cinnati and Hynicka to Hamilton coun- ty outside of Cincinnati. For years the word of these two men in their separ- ate fields was final.
 When Cox announced his retirement from politics in 19O9 Herman and Hynicka continued the organization which was considered intact until it was beaten in the mayoralty race in Cincinnati little more than three years later.
 Cox as a young man was an enthuTf- astic baseball fan. He organized and was a member of the "Osceolas," dur ing the strenuous days of baseball when fights were frequent The motto of the club was Win, Tie or Fight"

The state department has made no move in that di reotion and so far as known has contem. plated none. State department official. are understood to have been confiden that General Carranza would receive iron General Obregon clear impression O the attitude of the United States.
 Since General Scott's return with full report on the conferences state depart ment officials have expressed great satis. faction over the results he accomplished Apparently the whole basis of the Car ranza request for withdrawal was the suspicion of Mexican officials as to tn, real purpose of the expedition sent after Villa and his followers.f /
 SUSPICION REMOVED
 The first meetings of the conferees at E Paso were devoted to efforts by Generals Scott and Funston to clean General Obre. gon's mind of this suspicion.
 General Scott was able to say authorita- lively that American troops would not be withdrawn so long as danger of new raids existed but would be promptly re- called if the Carranza government lent official aid in crushing out brigandage He was able to assure General Obregor that the task of policing districts south of Namiquipa would gladly be left to him, while General Pershing withdrew to- ward the border as rapidly as the region was properly occupied and cleaned UT by Mexican troops.
 In reply to the arguments General Obre- gon issued orders to General Trevino to begin clearing up the territory south o1 the American forces and placed 10.0Ot troops at his disposal. Reports from border and from Mexican towns indi cate that Trevino is carrying out his in. structions promptly.
 The state department received encour- agin reports today. also from the TampicC region, where fears of anti-American out breaks have been expressed in recent ad- vices. No actual demonstrations have occurred and today's message said there was an improvement in the feeling of the Mexican officials and population toward Americans generally.

Federaliza ton of the National Guard would be accomplished through federal pay and through a re- quirement making the Guardsmen subject to the orders of the President.
 Eighteen republicans, five democrats, one progressive and one socialist voted against adoption of the conference re- port. Republican Leader Mann, who be- lieves the measure inadequate, was one of those voting in the negative.
 AGAINST THE BILL Republicans who voted against the bill l were: Britten, Walsh, Guernsey Gard neF, Gillette. Rogers, Tinllham, Wheeler, Mann, Hadley. Humphrey, Johnson Washington. Husted, Platt, Sanford, i Moores, Morgan, Nelson.
 Five democrats, Buchanan (lllinosl, Lavender, Johnson (Kentucky), Thomas and Randall voted against it, as did Lon don, socialist. and Schall, progressive. Guernsey voted for the bill on the second
 roll call and later had his vote changed. Republican Leader Mann attacked the bill as inadequate and predicted that if war ever came history would never tire of telling of the faithlessness of those who vote for the conference report Representative Mckenzie of Illinois, re- publican, supported the conference report, but Representative Gardner, republican, | insisted that the bill was so shorn as to

DEATH SENTENCE
FOR STRIKERS IN
MEXICAN CAPITAL
ELECTRICAL WORKERS CHARGED
WITH TREASON IN STOPPING
MUNITIONS WORK.

Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. 1.-THE text Of
decree wherein First Chief Carranza
evoked the death penalty against the
strikers who paralyzed Mexico City
through general electric strike, ap-
pears in copies arriving here today of
El Pueblo, a daily published in the
capital.
In tying up transportation, plunging
the city in darkness and cutting off it's
water supply, the strike Is held by
Carranza to be no strike at all, but an
extent of pure treachery against his
government whose enemies will re-
ceive encouragement by 1t.
Carranza's decree amplifies the law
of 1862, dealing with public disorders.
It threatens with death those connect.
ed In any way with the strike. Not
only are those who preside at strike
meetings, advocate strike or persuade
others from working, either by elo-
quence or threats, amenable to this
act, but even those who fail to leave
strike meetings on learning the sub
ject.
The strike was declared son July 81
by the Confederation Of Syndicates.
The paper, dated August 8, gives a
list of the leaders then in prison on
the charge of rebellion It is said that
the strike was assisted by North Amer
lean syndicates and that 1t stopped
work In arms and munition factories,
which was construed as treachery to
the de facto government.

other than arbitration, while the men

A formal request for a twenty-four
