 LAREDO, March e4.-In spite of the persistent rumors that the ~arranza forces at Torreon are inclined to go over to Villa, the officials of the Carranza govern .nent at Nuevo Laredo today re- terated their earlier statement lenying that there is any detec- ion in the Torreon garrison. The officials declare that there is not he least fear that the troops will not remain loyal to the Carranza government. The reports that the troops are stfongly inclined :oward Villa is alleged to be due to nothing more than the gener- lily accepted belief that Torreon s hot bed of sedition and re- bellion. The officials admit that he inhabitants of the city are argely inclined to Villa but in
 ist that the troops are in no de- rree inclined to share in their

Greater Powers

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. ga
bill that was introduced in the senate
by Senator j. T. Mcintosh of Durant
is calculated to relieve taxpayers OF
the burdens that are imposed upon
them by the existing unreasonable law
as to errors in assessment and in pay
ment of taxes. The bill gives the coun-
ty commissioners greater discretion
any powers and will result in better
conditions in the conduct of the al
fairs of the several counties as errors
may be corrected under it that have
in the past gone without redress. The
bill is as follows:
"The board of county commissioners
of each county are hereby authorized

PUT STOMACH IN
FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results from an tH-
cess OF Hydrochloric Acid

Undigested food delayed in the stom-
ach, decays or rather, ferments the
same as food left in the open air, says
a noted authority He also tells US
that Indigestion is caused by hyper
aciditv, meaning there is an excess OF
bydrochloric acid in the stomach,
which prevents complete digestion and
starts food fermentation. Thus every
thing eaten, sours in the stomach
much like garbage sours in can, form
ing acrid fluids and gases which In
flate the stomach like a toy balloon
Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery
in the chest, we belch up gas, we eruc'
tate sour food or have heartburn, HAT
ulence. water-brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in glass ol
water before breakfast and drink while
it is effervescing and furthermore, tc
continue this for a week. While re
lief follows the first dose, it is import
ant to neutralize the acidity, remove
the gas-making mass, start the liver
stimulate the kidneys and thus pro
mote a free flow Of pure digestive
juices.

said ffty-one undersea boats would
be needed for this purpose.
General Murray, who was formerly
chief of coast artillery, said expert
ments had proved that militiamen
could be taught in few days to
handle coast defense guns.
He said he had organized a regi-
ment of volunteers in 1899 and after
three months training under an IN
tensive system had developed as well
drilled and disciplined force as any
regiment in the service, regular or
volunteer. Other officers had agreed
with him. he said, after seeing the
regiment on duty in the philippines.
Favors Short Enlistments.
Basing his judgment on these eX-
periences, General Murray proposed
that the enlistment period be cut to
one wear for infantry and eighteen
months for other arms, with no OBJ
