THE MEXICAN SITUATION

The Oregonian has had much criticism Of President
Wilson over his Mexican policy what it perhaps con-
siders his lack of it. Our big contemporary insists we
should go to war with Mexico if necessary to bring the
murderers of Americans in Mexico to justice 1t does not
say so in words but by every implication it does. In
three years 72 Americans have been killed by Mexican
bandits In the preceding three years AT killed and
at that time during most of there recognized
government to deal with Yet Taft did nothing more
than Wilson has done towards bringing murderers of
American in Mexico to Justice. During President Will
sons term there has been government in that unhappy
country with which this country could DEAL OF which it
could hold responsible The country was in state OF
anarchy and such Americans went there remained
there under the circumstances did so at their peril
True they are and entitled to the protection Of this
government so far as it could be given them but there
are circumstances where the protection of government
becomes impossible and cannot be expected.
Suppose the United States should be held responsible
by every foreign country whose citizens murdered in
this country and should tell must put stop to it or
they would make war u.s. would we or could we comply
with the demand? Yet there foreigners muir
dered in the United States ten times over yearly than
there are Americans killed in Mexico
Carranza is apparently making an honest effort to put
a stop to these killings and to punish the murderers
What more can be done?

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

If you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; if your
head is dull or aching; if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or YOU are bilious, eonstipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
Just right, begin inside bathing. Drink
before breakfast, a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will flush the
poisons and toxins from stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels and cleanse,
sweeten and purify the entire alimen-
tary tract Do your inside bathing inn
mediately upon arising in the morning
to wash out of the system all the pre-
vious days poisonous waste, gases and
sour bile before putting more food into
the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body I'M
purities, get from your pharmacist a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
which is inexpensive and almost taste
less, except for a sourish twinge which
is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hct water act on
the skin. cleansing, swcetening and
freshening, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Men and women
who are usually constipated bilious,

Crossing the Track.

3 Bossier Parish people, we belive, are
more cautious in crossing railway tracks
than the people of Amite. Nevertheless,
the following record taken by an official
of the I. C. Railroad Company at that
place may serve, TO- show just how
careless people can be and, incidentally,
it may furnish a clue to- the cause OF the
numerous accidents that. occur at rail-
way crossings. This official stood at a
crossing at that place all: day and took
notes of those who looked one way be-
fore crossing, of those who looked both
ways and Of those who looked not at all
but went blindly on: ;.at = -, :, - ~
