SAN ANTONIO. Tex. December q
Will developments in Mexico bring
about a situation that will result in
our removal to a border stationo
This question is being turned over
in the minds of the militiamen from
the District of Columbia these days
and many of them feel confident they
will see service along the Rio Grande
before returning to the National Capt.
tai. The published reports of Villas
activities are being read by the militia
men with greater interest than ever
before for they realize that the move
ments of the bandit leader may have
an important bearing on the length OF
their stay at this point.
Still Anxious for Service.
The District militiamen still are anx-
ious to see service at a station that
is actually on the border. They feel
they We're called into the federal serv-
ice for that purpose. They have aban-
doned all hope of being home by
Christmas and there are few who
would not welcome border assign
ment at this time.
There are few of the militiamen from
the District who are not anxious to be
home by Christmas, but feeling conf
dent this no longer is possible they are
not greatly concerned about the length
of their stay in the border country fol-
lowing that time.

Whether they get home in January
or February does not seem to make
much difference to a large number of

effort to thus show the District men
in camp on the border that the people
at home, outside of their own fami-
lies. appreciate their self-sacrifice and
devotion to public duty. We hope that
the business men of Washington and
all the citizens of the District will re-
spond with generosity and make the

ital truly representative of how we
leel toward these men in the field.

CAUSED BY Thin BLOOD

Many people think they have kidney
trouble because they have backache but
more backache is caused by overstrained
and undernourished muscles than by
anything else. In such cases the blood
needs building up.
Many rheumatic people suffer pains
that could be avoided by building up the
blood. When rheumatism is associated
with thin blood the rheumatism cannot
be cured to stay cured until the blood is
built up.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills build up the
blood and sufferers from backache would
do well to try thistreatment before giving
way to worry over fancied organic dis
ease. Rest and the tonic treatment with
DR.. Williams Pink Pillswill correct most
forms OF backache, even rheumatic.
For people who work too hard or dance
TOO much and sleep too little, better habits
pnd course of treatment with Dr. Will
liams' Pink Pills are all that is needed
to drive away the pains and aches that
are warnings OF a coming breakdown.

and Nervous Disorders" will be sent
free, if you are interested, by the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,

Pills at the nearest drug store or by mail,
