TREACHER0US MEXICAN GUIDES
DECEIVE AMERICANS ENABLING
VILLA TO WORK WAY OUT OF TRAP

Ell PASO. Tex, April 4-Francisco
Villa has been compelled by the rapid
pursuit of American cavalry to aban-
don his plans for an attack upon Chi
huahua City. On Sunday afternoon
the bandit leader. accompanied by
eight members of his personal body
forty-one miles straight south of Chi
huahua. At that time his American
pursuers were twenty miles behind the
fleeing chieftain.
This was the news that came today
by courier from Cases Grandes. It ap-
peared to be the most reliable informa-
tion received during the last three days
as to the whereabouts of Villa. The
same courier reported that fntermit-
tent rifle firing had been heard for sew
eral hours on March 81, near EI Vale,
the sub-base .of the punitive expedi-
ton He said he believed a skirmish
had followed an attempt by band of
mounted Mezicans to cut the lines of
communication between Casas Grandes
and Ell Valle. @
From the story told by the courier
it appears that Villa had a narrow es-
cape from capture when his forces
were beaten in the fighting at San
Geronimo ranch in the Guerrero dis
trict last Wednesday. The Americans
were close on Pancho's trail, but were
deceived by their Mexican guides and
were along a rough and almost i'm
passable trail. In the meantime, Villa,
taking shorter and much easier path,
got several miles beyond the point
where Colonel Dodd had hoped to
catch him.
Nightfall forced the wearied Ameri-
cans to halt. Villa travelled all night
and by morning had successfully eluded

troops will be used, it is said to
strengthen the growing line communi-
cation of the expedition.

FLY TALK IS DIRTY

When people discuss the fly evil
frankly and seriously they s dirty
talk necessarily. It is a nasty subject.
but we are bound to consider it FOR our
own protection. and to take steps to
abate the evil. .
How does typhoid fever spread?
Generally it is communicated when
the solid and liquid food to be eaten
by healthy persons is contaminated
in some manner with human excre-
ment from someone who has the dis
ease.
This is where the house fly gets in
its filthy work. Suppose your next
door neighbor has typhoid fever. The
waste matter cast from his intestinal
tract is emptied into the outside toilet
on his premises. Flies swarm about
the toilet vault until dinner time at
your house. Then some of them at
tend your meal. They alight on the
food and poison it with germs either
from their hairy feet OF by depositing
a speck which also contains germs.
Do not p~ooh-pooh this statement.
Ask your doctor IL it is not the gospel
truth. Then get busy and help kill the
dies. Thus you may keep death out
Of your own home.

yards, provide for proper disposition
Of garbage and for sanitary outhouses.
Another grade might make fly traps
and sell them to the various grocers
and butchers for use at their places of
business and to the city authorities for
use in public places. That was done
successfully in Holland, Mich, last
year.
