NEW AGREEMENT PROPOSED
 FOR JOINT PURSUIT OF VILLA
Terms Discussed by Carranza Agent
 and Acting Secretary Polk.


 Washington, March 2O.-Eliseo Ar redOndo, General Carranza's ambas- sador and Acting Secretary Polk to- new agreement for a joint pursuit of Villa by American and Mexican troops to replace the present agree ment by which General Carranza agrees to the American punitive ex- petition.
 MT. Arredondo also discussed with Mir. Polk, the American request to use Mexican railways for the transporta- tion of supplies to General Pershing's column. Speed is regarded by state department officials as of the utmost importance and every effort is eX- pected to be made by Mir. Arredondo to have General Carranza act upon the proposals at once. It was point ed out that the United States looks upon the request to use Mexican rail- ways as purely a commercial proposi- tion. It was said after the confer ence that MT. Polk and the ambas- sador were in general agreement of the matters discussed. The new pro- posed agreement will be submitted to General Carranza.
 The plan is to have the new agree ment take the form of a formal con- vention, to remain in force until vfl- la is captured. It would provide for oint pursuit of a common enemy and so far as possible meet all of the va TiOus questions which might arise, setting forth specifically the rights in Mexico accorded the American ex- pediticn and just what work would be expected of the cooperating forces

WHY CHILLY WEATHER
 BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says skin pores are closed and .s uric acid remains
 in blood.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human affiictions it is one of the most painful. Those sub ject to rheumatism should eat less meat, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and, above all, drink lots of pure water.
 Rheumatism is caused by uric acid which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accommodating and circu- settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness. soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first tWinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts: put a tablespoon ful in q glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas ant, efferVescent lithia-water drink which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well.

OUTLINING THE DEFENSE OF LORIMER
Counsel for Former President of La Sae Street Trust and Savings Bank, Chicago, Enters General Denial of the Charges-The Defendant is Going to Take the Stand and Tell the Story of His Life.

Chicago, March 20-Outlining his defense of William Lorimer in his opening statement in the trial of the former president of the La Salle Street Trust and Savings bank, accused of conspiracy in connection with the fail ure of the bank, Attorney Albert Fink today took exception to virtually ev- erything charged by counsel for the state.
 He asserted that he would prove many of the acts charged by the state were unknown to MT. Lorimer; that the failure of the bank was precipi- tated by adverse action by the Chicago Clearing House association; that Mir. Lorimer's instructions regarding loans made to him had not been obeyed and that the political prominence of the defendant had contributed to the feel ing which eliminated in the bringing of charges against him in relation to the conduct of the bank of which he was the head.

Object to Too Much Bacon at Massa-

Worcester, Mass, March 2O.-Be- tween 50 and 75 patients in the state sanatorium at Rutland went on a hun- ger strike today in protest against too much bacon for the breakfasts served in the institution. The men who de- clined to eat the breakfast served to- day say their reason for doing so is that bacon is served too frequently. There was no disturbance. The sana- torium officials say the strike was without reason, as the brealIfa sts served are from selected material and the only reason they can sec for the strike is that the inmates have been prevented by the deep snow from en- gazing in as much out of door exercise as they have been accustomed to and they struck to work up some excite ment.
