WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi.
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" care they truthful !? !"
"Why do women write such letters? !"
In answer we say that never have we
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands Of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis

irregularities, nervousness, weakness,

MUST USE PAPER
Carranza Forces Mexican Mer-
chants to Honor Currency.
To Punish All Who Demand
Gold and Silver Coinage.

Ell Paso. Texas. April 2O.-The Off
Gals of the de facto government are
making a desperate effort to bolster
up the value of the Carranza paper
money. This has now dropped in val
ue to less than cents on the dollar. A
week ago it was forced up above 3
cents, due to the manipulation of the
market from New York
Because the native merchants are
demanding either Mexican silver or
United States currency for their chat
tells, it is announced a decree will be
issued penalizing all business houses
which make such determinations. At
present the operation of the money
market in Mexico is one-sided.
All mining companies, lumber con-
Germs and other business enterprises
enGeavoring to exist are forced to pay
a part of their salaries in silver and to
pay the government obligations in sill
yer or gold. Merchants are not pre-
vented from using silver or gold in
their purchases, but the soldiers and
civil employees of the government are
paid in practically worthless paper
money.
Leading bankers in Ell Paso who
are familiar with the resources of Car
rama say the economic situation will
result in a complete disintegration of
the de facto government within thirty

FORCE WAR WITH U. S
Carranza Only FigurcIiead for Faction
of General Obregon.
BY TIT. III. sTANSBURY.

Ell Paso, Tex, April 2O.-The Obre-
gon faction in the de facto government
of Mexico is making a desperate ef-
fort to force First Chief CarranZa to
declare war against the United States
Immediately.
This information was received here
Wednesday in a code message to news
service from Chihuahua.
The war party of the Carran7a
government is said to have taken
complete charge of the conduct of af-
fairs, and Carranza has become no
more than a figurehead.
The Mexican poems are being told
if they go to war with the United
States they will find an ally either in
Japan or Germany and will be able
to avoid annexation. The rnanifestos
assert that this initiative step is nee
essary to Illustrate plan on the part
of the United States government to
seize and retain possession of the
country.
That a crisis has been reached in
the negotia lions with General Car
rama is declared to have been re-
ported to the state department.

ERROR WAS FATAL
Bill Dupree Carried Stolen
Wheat in a HOIey Sack.
1t Killed All Chance of Escape
From the Law.

"BilP' Dupree, Crane street. be-
moaned the fact today that he was
just naturally careless in picking out
a sack in which to carry wheat. The
fact that Dupree stole the wheat both
erS him not at all. But if the sack
hadn't had a hole in it Dupree would
not have been caught and that both
ers him.
Early this morning, before it was
quite light, man were unloading wheat
in a pit at the Topeka Milling COM
pany on E" st Crane street. The men
worked inside the car. The wheat fell
through a space of three or four feet
after it left the car and before it
reached the pit. Dupree crawled un-
der the car, held the mouth of his
sack open and the golden grain fell
inside. Then he carried the sack to
his home, about three blocks away,
and went back with another sack.
Three sacks he filled and carried away
before the workmen learned that
someone had been stealing wheat.
Officers at the police station were
notified and they looked over the
ground. Daylight had arrived by that
time and the most noticeable thing in
the neighborhood was a trail of wheat
leading away from the "off side" of
the wheat car. 1t didn't take a blood
hound to follow the trail. Even po-
licemen were able to follow it and it
led to Bill Dupree's house. He was
there and the wheat was there. Both
We're taken to the police station.
An hour later Dupree was called be-
fore Robert Yates, police judge, to say
whether he was guilty or not guilty
"Now, Bill said Judge Yates, did
you steal this wheat? Are you
guilty?"
Il reckon, Your Honor" said Du-
pree, Il might just about as well plead
guilty. But another man brought the
wheat to my house. He stole it
"All right, BILL said the judge,
you're fined twenty-five dollars
1T was just naturally careless to try
to carry wheat in a sack with a hole
in it, said Dupree as he was guided
back to the bull pen.

HOLD CONFERENCE
Ambassador Discusses Crisis
With Secretary of State.
Says Germany Can't Reply in
Four Days; May Take Ten.

Washington. April 2O.-German
Ambassador Won Bernstorff discussed
with Secretary of State Lansing today
the possibility of averting break be-
tween Germany and the United States
The conference lasted 25 minutes.
The ambassador obtained the secre-
tary's views on steps necessary to
make Germanys submarine campaign
conform to this country's ideas of in
ternational law and humanity.
Although the ambassador refused to
comment on the talk, which he said
was entirely continental" it is un
derstood that as a result of the con-
ference he does not take a hopeless
view of the situation. 1t is understood
the secretary was given good reason
to believe that another incident such
as the Sussex disaster will not occur
while present negotiations are being
conducted.
1t was pointed out to Lansing that
since the United States has asked for
a definite change of policy in Ger
many's submarine warfare, there will
naturally have to be numerous con-
ferences of officials in Berlin.
May Take Ten Days.
After the conference it was learned
that German diplomats regarded the
receipt of a reply from Germany
within three or four days as physical
" impossible 1t was thought a reply
could not be received here before ten
DAYS 1t was pointed out that Easter
Monday is a holiday in Germany and
that necessary consultations of Off
Gals would cause almost another week
to elapse before the German decision
could be transmitted here. Ambas-
sador Won Bernstorff refused to dis
cuss his conversatio nwith Secretary
Lansing, but indicated his call was
not prompted by the arrival of in
struction from his government.
Regarding the hope held by German
officials here for an amicable settle
ment, one official described the pros
pect as toss up.
Whether all German consuls and
consular agents would be dismissed
and such American representatives in
Germany recalled, in case diplomatic
relations are severed, was discussed
by state department officials. 1t was
stated that a rupture would not nee
essariIy extend to consuls, although
diplomatic custom generally included
all such officials.
