Efficient Friend of the Allies.

Col. Isaac n. Lewis, U. S. A, re-
tired, who has been authorized by the
French government to construct an
ordnance factory at St. Etienne for
the manufacture of the Lewis rapid
fire gun, is an American, whose in
vention was submitted to the war de-
partment while be was on the active
list, and was not accepted. He then
tried Germany. who, quickly realizing
the Importance of the weapon, asked
for the sole right to use and manufac-
ture the gun, but was refused. Next
he tried England. The British gov
eminent consented to the sale of the
guns to her allies, but at that time
would not guarantee to purchase all
that Colonel Lewis could manufac-
ture. so he went to Belgium, where
he was given orders without restric-
tons. Final delivery was only twenty
DAYS before the European war broke
out. The Belgians were the only sol
diers having the Lewis guns. The
English army is being supplied from
the Birmingham factory. France will
receive the gun in large quantities
as soon as the new Etienne plant is
ready.

Get the Habit of
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel riqht
with the system full
of poisons.

Millions of folks battle internally
now instead Of loading their system
with drugs. What's an inside bath %
you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per
form miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, Immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass Of real
hot water with a teaspoonfuI of lime
stone phosphate in 1t. This is very
excellent health measure. It is in
tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid
neye and the thirty feet Of intestines
OF the previous days waste, sour bile
and indigestible material left over in
the body which, il not eliminated every
day, become food for the millions of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
which are then absorbed into the
blood causing headache, bilious at
tacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds,
stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleep
lessness, impure blood and all sorts
of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged TO OBJ
tain q quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate from any druggist or store
keeper. This will cost very little but
is sufficient to make anyone a real
crank on the subject Of internal SAM
tation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so limestone phosphate
and hot water act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. 1t is vast
ly more important to battle on the in,
side than on the outside, because the
skin pores do not absorb impurities in
to the blood, while the bowel pores do.

GOOD REPORT
Doctor Proved Value of Postum.

Physicians know that good food and

lief of disease but to maintain health
even when one is well.

count, with its valued companion

Coffee was banished from my own

regularly in its place" Coffee is in

that it is properly made according to
direcaons, then it has a clear, seal
brown color and rich, snappy taste,
as well as health giving qualities.
The above letter, received over ten
years ago, is fully confirmed by a re-
cent letter from the doctor, in which
he says:
1T is a pleasure to render a good
report covering a product of which

CarranzistaS Concentrated ALONG
u. S. Lines.
VILLA CHASE AT STANDSTILL
Army Officers Fear Attack If Ameri,
can Troops Are Withdrawn From
epubIic-SoIdiers Will Move
in Large Numbers.

Washington, April 21.-Confirma
ton of reports that CarranZa troops
are being modified in the path OF
General Pershing's forces was re-
ceiVed at both the state and war de-
partments.
Mexican troops lately stationed at
Chihuahua have been sent to a point
south of Pershings most advanced
troops. Troops which were withdrawn
from Sonora are being held with the
apparent purpose of being thrown
across the American line somewhere
between Casas Grandes and the Amer.
lean frontier.
Pershing's Line Menaced
General SCOTS mission to the Dor
der for consultation with General Fun
ston is now generally known to have
been the result of authentic informa
ton that Pershing was menaced from
the south and that his line Of com.
munication with the north was inn
periled
Secret movements OF American
to this emergency, SO that high army
officials now confidently state Gen.
eral Pershing is in position to meet
the worst contingency.
A fact to be ascertained by General
Scott, the officers state, is whether the
movements of the Mexican troops have
been dictated by Carranza or whether
they have been sponsored by the gov
ernOr of Chihuahua or various subor-
dinates.
Danger in Retreat.
Fears are openly expressed by
army officers that should an order
come to withdraw the American
troops the Villa and other marauding
bands will raise the cry that the Amer.
lean troops are in retreat, with the re-
suit that the American army will be
subject to constant night attacks and
sniping as they retire from Mexico
To prevent such warfare against
his columns, General Pershing is pre-
pairing to be in a position to move
his forces in large units. If necessary,
he may call upon some of the new
troops that General Funston has trans
ferred recently to the army base at
Columbus, N M. The belief is general
at Fort Bliss that the United States
troops will encounter more difficulties
in withdrawal than they did on their
rapid 400-mile drive from Colum bus
to Parral.
To Press Demand.
Ell Paso, Tex, April 21.-That the
American troops in Mexico will mark
time for the next ten days is the view
expressed by Mexican officials in
Juarez. At the end of that time, they
believe, the withdrawal of the United
States expedition will be ordered by
the Washington government.
Fear that longer delay by the Ameri-
can authorities in reaching a decision
will result in increased antagonism
on the part of Mexican citizens was
openly expressed at General Gavira s
headquarters, but it was stated that
every precaution was being taken by
the Carranza troops to prevent fur
