DANGER Signal

IF the FIRE bell should ring
would you run and stop it or 60
and help to put out the FIRE? 1t
is much the same way with a
cough. A cough is a danger
signal az much as q fire bell.
You should no more try to sup
press it than to stop 4 fire bell
when it is ringing, but should
cure the disease that causes the
coughing. This can nearly
always be done BY taking Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most bene-
fetal results. It is especially
valuable for the persistent cough
that so often follows a bad cold
or an attack of the grip. Mrs.

Men in Saddle at SIS
Miles a Stretch Bearing
Up Well; Proud of Horses
BY .issociaicd Press

At the Front in Mexico, General
Pershinss Camp, April 5, by Aero
plane and Motor Courier to Columbus.
\. NJ, April "a cavalry officer, COM
ing in from an SO-mile ride last night,
said:
Il never saw a country where men
could ride as hard without sleep and
still keep well as in these mountains"
This officer has ridden as a scout
with the ESQ picked men of the
cavalry.
1T seems to be the air at the alti-
the men up" he added.
The troopers in the course of their
SO miles ride in two days made a
00-mile ride literally up and down the
tops of a ridge of mountains. The
So miles was made in Sc hours,
through canyons, through heavy snow
at 10000 feet high, and up and down
mountain sides. There is neither road
nor trail.
Proud of Their Horses
After taking their mounts safely
through this ride the cavalrymen made
25-mile dash across country to head
off the possibility of a Villa rally at a
place which has been under suspicion
for several days. In the mountain
work the cavalrymen led their horses
over the worst places. The horses
have shown that they can climb almost
any mountain that a man can ascend.
Pride in their horses has become a
passion with the cavalrymen in their
mountain riding. Our horses" one
officer asserted. are just as good to-
day as when they crossed the river
They are fit for a charge right now
Just let us get on Villas trail and we
will get him sure"
Finds Smallpox Victim
An officer here tells how he re-
treated from a house where he be-
lieved he was about to discover a Villa
bandit. It was during the search of
mountain district where there was a
suspicion that Villa might be concealed
until his wounds healed.
Many houses were under search
when this officer saw what he took TO
be a wounded man lying in bed in a
room. He swung open the door, pistol
in hand. and hurried across the room.

Chase Halted?
For the last three days not a single
Mexican or American has arrived here
from the interior and the scanty news
given out by the Mexican officials at
Juarez as received by telegraph threw
no light on the operations of the
troops pursuing Villa, confirming the
impression that the chase has been
practically halted, at least temporarily.
Almost Hopeless
Army officers here show no hesi-
fancy in expressing their opinion that
to attempt to pursue Villa farther
without the aid of the railroads is al
most a hopeless task. Unless, of
course, some luck accident intervenes.
The one incalculable factor is the
question as to whether Villa is
wounded or not. The Mexican COM
manders are emphatic in their asser-
tions that the bandit chief is seriously
disabled but their belief is not shared
by the American commanders. That
Villa should spread a report to the
effect he had been shot is so charac-
teristic maneuver hat it is received
with considerable reservation.
The alarmists on the border have
been remarkably quiet during the last
few days. While no one disputes the
fact that the international situation is
very delicate one with grave posi-
bilities hinging on a misstep by either
side the control which General Car
tanza has shown he possesses over
his lieutenants and the calm with
which the Mexican people have
treated the crossing of the border by
American troops has brought about q
decided feeling of optimism.

MOTHERS--YOUR
CHILDREN'S HAIR
NEEDS CARE
Seeds of Badness Often Come From
Neglect in Youth

The hair of some children is natur-
ally backward in healthy growth. The
rapid mental and body development of
these boys and girls makes tremend-
Gus demands upon their vital forces.
And usually, when there is not enough
of that vital force to supply all needs,
it is the hair which suffers. Dry, dull,
scanty, brittle, lifeless- looking hair
and dandruff is the result, and Mother
is sure to be distressed because of its
lack of abundance and beauty.
Partisan Sage is the ideal hair and
scalp treatment for growing children
as many mothers can testify. This
delicate and wholesome scalp VitaliZer
is entirely harmless and its nourishing
ingredients supply just the elements
of nutrition that properly invigorate
the hair and scalp, dissolve dandruff
and promote healthy, normal hair
growth.
Many mothers are personal users of
Partisan Sage because of the good it
has done their children. Certainly a
preparation that is tender and whole
some enough to invigorate baby's scalp
is a preparation well suited for
mother. Partisan Sage is sold by II.
c. Kennedy and good druggists every
where. The cost is trifling and per-
feet satisfaction guaranteed or pur-
chase price refunded.
