Dollars Trying to Cure
His Stomach Trouble

1t has been estimated that there are
at least five million adults in the
United States upon whom dangerous
diseases are working, without the
knowledge Of the victim. 1t is a matter
of record that 80 per cent. Of the hun
dreds of people rejected last year by
one of the largest insurance companies
on account of disease directly tracea-
bic to the stomach, liver and kidneys
were unaware of their danger until the
examining physician informed them of
it To these people the new herbal sys-
TEN tonic. Plant Juice, is like a ray of
hope. 1t is a modern remedy for mod
ern ills caused by the rush and hustle
Of the times. and is the best tonic
to be fouRd for all ailments of the
stomach, liver. kidneys and blood.
Only recently the following testimo-
NAL was received from Mr.. Joseph KO-
rolishin. who resides at No. POI Plumer
Avenue, Detroit. Mich, and is we'll
known, being Interpreter for the Ford
Motor Car Company. He SAYS:
I had been sick for long time with
stomach, liver and kidney trouble and
had spent over six hundred dollars in
money on different remedies and treat
ments. and / was left in a worse con-
ditiOn than I was before. I had been
reading in the Detroit papers about
Plant Juice and decided to try il. After
7 had used only about half a bottle my
stomach started to improve. 1 have
only used one bottle and my health is
so good that L can't praise Plant Juice
too highly"
Plant Juice is sold in FL Paso at

Chicago. Ill, Feb. 16.-The ban OF
dancing and card playing in the doc
trine Of certain branches of the Metho-
dist church was assailed today by rep
resentatives of the Methodist church,
south at the conference on union OF
NIethodism. in session in Evanston
Prof. fitzgerald S. Parker, general
secretary of the EpwOrth league, Nash

The Methodist church, south. Prof
Parker pointed out, has adopted in its
general rules new phrases eliminating
The specific naming of the prohibited
indulgences. Those named in the doc

are dancing. card playing, attending
theaters and circuses.

HIDES TO BE KEPT In MEXICO
TO ENCOURAGE SHOE MAKING

The shipment to the border recently
OF two carloads Of hides. said to have
been confiscated by the Carranza gov
eminent and sold by Cen Luis Her
rera TO a New York hide house. has
raised the question Of what effect such
a shipment would have upon the de-
cree that no hides are to be shipped out
of Mexico.
Asked 20 give n view upon this sub
ject. the CarranZa consulate stated
Wednesday that the reason for the de-
cree was the desire Of the Carranza
government to re-establish the shoe
manufacturing industry in central
Mexico. and especially in Leon, where
a number Of big plants operate: and
that the prohibition Of hide shipments
was to keep them i'm Mexico for home
consumption
This" it was said. did not bear
upon the northern states. where no
such industries exist and for that rea-
son the hides might be shipped into
America under the proper procedure

Farmers Losing Money

weather is weather so don't
complain" says the philosopher.
But philosophy is considered
rather untimely by the practical
farmer. Two weeks ago the har-
vest was a pleasant thought
good crop of hay, good wheat
and bumper crop of oats was
the promise. Today, after heavy
and constant rains, we hear OF
ruin oats, sprouting wheat and
bad hay, much of it lost. Hay
that has been down in some in
stances has been hauled to the
barnyard. Not for several years
has the losses of harvest been so
great. One farmer remarked yes
terday that his losses in hay and
oats would more than offset his
prospective profit for the year
Along with this, comes the in
crease in price of dairy foods
without any attending increas'
price of milk.
