JOINT COMMISSION CLOSES
Commissioners Trying to Effect Agree
ment With Mexico Gives Up
In Disgust.

New York.-The Mexican-American
Joint commission which failed to ef-
feet an adjustment of the questions at
issue between Mexico and the United
States after a series Of conferences
that began four months ago, was form
ally dissolved.
The Americans impressed upon the
Mexicans that with the dissolution of
the commission the Mexican problem
reverted to President Wilson. They
were careful not to leave in the minds
Of the Mexicans the conviction that
President Wilson would accept the
recommendation that an accredited
diplomat be sent to Mexico and that
General Pershing's forces be with
drawn.
In spite of the Americans care, how
ever, the Mexicans assert that full dip
iomatic relations between the two gov
ernments would be re-established soon
and that American troops will be re-
moved from Mexican territory within
a few days.

VILLA GETTING BUsY AGAIN
Arrives at Gates Of Chihuahua After
Decisive Defeat Of Chief Car
ranza's Forces.

Ell Paso, Tex.-Francisco Villa and
his main command again are at the
gates Of chihuahua City, reports pas.
sengers arriving from the state cap.
ital. After defeating Gen. Hernandez
and his Carranza command Of 1900 IN
the vicinity of Satevo, Villa drove the
de facto column to La Jolla, eighteen
miles north of Satevo, where another
defeat was administered and the col.
umn was forced to retreat to Santa
Ysabel and then to Palomas, only eigh.
teen miles west OF the city.
Gen. Francisco Murguia, who had
entrained to come to the border, went
to Palomas with 500 troops and took
personal command.
The presence OF Villa troops west Of
Chihuahua City, government agents
believe, is the forerunner of the third
attack upon the state capital by Villa.
AS Villa now controls the western
part of the state, the agents say they
fear he may attempt to occupy the ter
ritory held by American troops as soon
as Gen. Pershing withdraws.
The occupation of the border port
of Ojinaga, opposite Preside, Tex, is
expected to be the next move of the
Villa forces.
Rumors OF disaffection in the state
Of Sonora have been received here and
the fact that pro-Carranza American
newspaper was stopped from going
into that state has strengthened the
rumors that de facto troops may join
Villa.

sure it will do all that it claims to do.
I took three or four bottles before It
began to show effects. After that ]
improved rapidly and gained in health
and strength. I took nine bottles in
all. This is the only time I have
taken it. I was down to 108 pounds
and I gained to 122. I felt like a new
woman. 1 couldn't sleep before and
had to be rubbed, would get so nerv-
Gus and numb. And all this was
stopped by Cardui."
The true value of a medicine can ba
determined only BY the results OBJ

grateful users Of Cardui, are powerful
tributes to its worth and effectiveness.
