HerrerO Admits
 CarranZa Suicide
 Theory is Hearsay

Mexico City, June 11.-Admission by General Rodolfo Herrero, who has been charged with responsibility for President Carranza's death, that he did not have personal knowledge that Carranza committed suicide, but that he was told so by one of the presi- dents officers, featured the hearing last night before the federal court investigation the chief executives death. A clash occurred between Her rero and Genral Francisco Murguia, former minister of war, when the lat ter denied that he had offered Her rero money.
 Herrero declared the officer who gave the information that Carranza had committed suicide was Ernesto Herrero, his cousin, who brought the pistol with which it was alleged the president shot himself. Herrero ad- mitted having professed loyalty to Carranza and of having afterward or dered his forces to attack the presi- dent, but said this was done to obtain information regarding the strength of the presidents escort. He stated he had received orders indirectly from Obregon to take Carranza alive. The presidents forces, however, learned of the intended attack and began fir ing, preventing his capture.

HOW ATLANTA WOMAN PR0F|TED BY ADVICE
 OF HER S0N.|N-LAW

the rustling of newspaper would worry me. I couldn't sleep at nights, and would get up in the mornings feeling more tired than when l went to bed the night before. l had no appetite and never felt the least bit hungry and was getting weaker all the time. I had tried almost every kind of medicine I could think of without getting any relief, and l sure was worried about my condition.
 "The reason my son-in-law advis- ed me to try Tanlac was because he had heard so much about Tanlac help ing troubles like mine. l am thank ful I acted on his advice, for now after taking one bottle 1 am feeling just fine. My stomach doesn't both CT me any more, and can eat just anything l want and never have trouble from gas or palpitation of the heart. My nervousness is all gone, I sleep like a child all night and get up in the morning feeling rested and full of life. I think Tan lac is grand medicine. It helped me when everything else failed, and I strongly recommend it to everyone who suffer as I did,"
 Tanlac is sold in Pine Bluff by Central pharmacy; in Altheimer by A. w. Leake, and in Rison by Boggs Drug store. Adv.
