FORMER DICTATOR HUERTA
DIES At HOME IN TEXAS
DEATH WAS NOT UNEXPECT
ED AS HE STEADILY
GREW WORSE.

FL Paso, Tex, January 13.-Vic-
toriano Huerta, former dictotor of
Mexico, died at his home here today
at S:35 o'clock.
General Huerta, who succeeded
Gen. Francisco |. Madero in execu-
tive power in Mexico City and later
left Mexico, died of sceerosis of the
liver. He was surrounded by his
family when the end came. His con-
dition had steadily grew worse for
the past few days and his death was
not unexpected.
Gen. Victoriana Huerta was a
professional soldier, and as such he
had, up to the overthrow of Madero
been known for his loyal support OF
the existing governments. He
fought loyalty for President Porto
rio Diaz until his fall, and when Diaz
was no longer chief executive
fought for Francisco de la Barra
the provisional president. After Ma
dero was elected Huerta found it te
be his duty to support one who haC
so long fought as a rebel. His loyal
ty was not challenged until the Fell,
Diaz revolution in Mexico City ii
February 1918. when the Maderc
government was completely over
thrown, and Huerta himself elevate,

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home. which IS
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth s
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about 80 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge Or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy
