ADMITS failure!
Mexican Peace Commission
Turns Work Over to Wilson.
The President Must Take the
Situation in Hand Again.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The entire
Mexican situation has been placed IN
the hands of President Wilson. The
American section of the American
Mexican Joint commission visited the
president and left with him the rec
concentration as to the reply which
should be made to Carranza's refusal
to sign the protocol for the withdrawal
of American military forces from Mex
lean soil and the protection of the
border
The whole question is now up to the
president, who had with him Col. E.
M. House of Texas, his most trusted
adviser.
Again the report that the American
expeditionary force under General
Pershing would be Withdrawn has
gained circulation. The members of
the commission were silent on this
point but it was made clear that en-
bodied in their recommendations to
the president was the suggestion that
the soldiers would better subserve the
interests of peace and order along
the international boundary line, if they
were Withdrawn from their present
base and distributed along the Rio
Grande.
Won't Make Statement.
Subsequent to their meeting with
the president, the members of the
commission, including the chairman,
Secretary of the Interior Laness=-re-
fused to discuss their Recommended
tons. They let it be known that there
would be one more formal meeting of
the full commission, probably this
week. AS to the purpose of such a
meeting the commissioners were 81
lent. 1t is believed, however, that the
meeting will be a pro-formal affair
for the purpose of bringing to a digni-
fled end the sessions of the commits
sion which have spread over the past

The moment it touches the infamed,

throat and air passages, the healing be-
gins, the ,phlegm loosens, soreness

Cocoanut Oil Fine

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain TOO much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
jrely greaseless), is much better than
ne most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing as

ter and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of

rinses out easily, and removes everv
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and

age.

cheap, and few ounces is enough to

And CHRONIC
RHEUMATISM

The exact cause OF rheumatism is un-
known, though It is generally believed to
be aueitO an excess of uric acid IN the blood.
1t may be also said with equal truth that no
remedy has been found which is a specific
IN all cases. In fact the literature of rheu-
matism shows that there are but few drugs
which have not been given trial. In the
hands OF one observer we find that a certain
drug has been used with the utmost salts
faction; others have found the same remedy
to be a great disappointment. All physi-
clans however agree that every method OF
treatment is aided by the administration of
some remedy to relieve the pain and quiet
the nervous system and DR.. w. 8. Echultze
expresses the opinion OF thousands of prac-
titioners when he says that anti-kamnia
tablets should be given preference over all
other remedies for the relief of the pain In
all forms of rheumatism. These tablets can
be purchased in any quantity. They are
also unsurpassed In headaches, neuralgtaS
and all pain. Ask for A. Tablets.

KNOWS U. S. SECRETS
Woman Clerk of Foreign Relations
Committee Violates Precedent.

Washington, Jan. Ats an old
story that a woman can not keep a
a secret. But here is one who must
keep many and these secrets concern
the honor of the United States.
This woman who must go thru what
is described as an ordeal for her SsX
is Miss Jessie L. Simpson of st. Louis.
She has just been appointed clerk of
the very important senate committee
on foreign relations. Incidentally at
an annual salary of $4,000 she will be
the second highest paid woman in all

UP 49 BILLIONS
War Increases National Debts
of Belligerents.
10 Billion Added to British:
Central Powers, 20.


Washington, Jan. 4.-The increase
in the national debt of Great Britain.
France, Russia, Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary is estimated by the fed
eraI reserve board at $40, 455, 900, 900
from the beginning of the war to the
of Austria Hungary, in whose case the
estimate extends only to May, 1916.
Twenty-nine billions is the three en-
tente nations share OF the total, and
twenty billions is that of the two CEN
trail powers.
This estimate, the board stated, in
tabulations made public today, is ap-
proXimate and does not cover the cost
of the war as large revenues of unde-
termined amounts have been raised by
internal taxation.
Great Britain leads in the increases,
with an estimated nineteen billion dol
lars having been added to her national
debt.

PEACE PRoCLAMATIoN.
In the beginning of the new year, with
most of the nations beyond the seas at war,
the minds of men everywhere turn to
ways and means by which future conflicts
may be prevented.
iy to an incalculable extent by the misfor-
tunes of war-stricken lands, thoughtful
men and women are organizing to place in
fluence which shall have for its object not
only the disseminating of. peace propa-
nificance, a movement to insure its per-
manence. The League to Enforce Peace
presents what seems to be the most prac
may be achieved.
Despite the fact that the European war
in excess of any other year, no person at
all familiar with his state doubts for a
moment that the people Of this part of the
Middle West are emphatically opposed to
war. No material advantage can serve to
change that opposition in an enlightened
state where man-values are SO high. Kan
sas never has been slow to take its part
in such movements. As state 1t has re-
sponded promptly and generously in every
great crisis. Its people have world grasp,
an intelligent understanding. a quick sym
pathy, and inflexible determination once
depended upon always to see their duty
and to perform it. They will not be con-
tent to stand before the world as oniookers
through any. fancied geographical isolation
or geographical security. They will ignore
material considerations in favor of human
itarian impulses such certain to
move a big minded, big hearted people to
whom patriotism means something more
than powder and she'll
