CHAMORRO CALLS
TO SEE KELLOGG
General Is Apparently Well
Satisfied After Visit With
Secretary.

Gen. Emiiano Chamorro, deposed
ex-President of Nicara qua, who is re
ported to be ambitious of regaining
control of Nicaraguan affairs. held a
brief consultation with Secretary OF
State Kellogg today. He was ac'
companied to the State Department by
DR.. Don Alexandra Cesar, the Mica
raguan minister.
Despite rumors to the effect that
Gen. Chamorro is here to obtain the
consent of the American Government
to run for the presidency in the elec:
tions next August, it was explained al
the State Department after the con-
ference. that Nicaraguan affairs were
not even discussed. Since the audi
ence lasted only five minutes, it was
confined merely to an exchange OF
CourteSieS.
Mission to Washington.
whether Gen. Chamorro is later to
take I'D his case with the State De.
partment was a matter which or.
ficials did not care to discuss. AT
any rate, the general returned to his
suite at the Mayflower Hotel ap'
parently we'll satisfied with his recep-
ton.
1t Is generally understood here that
Gen Chamorro has virtually no hope
Of receiving any more than polite at.
tention from the Washington admins
tration. Former Secretary of War
Henry L. Stimson. the Presidents per.
sonal representative in handling the
Nicaraguan situation. is said to be op-
posed to Gen Chamorro figuring in
the next elections which are to be
under American supervision. The
State Department. it was explained,
will take its cue from Mr.. Stimson.
Part of Gen. Chamorro's mission to
Washington, it was learned. is to in
vestigate these senni-official reports
that the State Department is opposed
to him becoming q candidate for the
presidency. The situation of a for
eigner coming here to find out II he
can run for office in his own country
is said to be almost without parallel.
Best Military Commander.
Gen. Chamorro is stocky. burly
man with a vigorous outdoor COM
plexion. He is said to be the best
military commander in Latin America
and he looks it. For years he has
been one of the most dramatic figures
IN the disSensions that literally have
torn Nicaragua asunder by revolu-
ton. Gen. ChanOrro was linked up
with Adolfe DiaZ, now President of
Nicaragua, in the revolutionary move
msnt that eliminated in Diaz being
made President.
AS result of clash between the
two, Chamorro went to Europe as
minister general, and has had a row.
Ing assignment ever since. American
Intervention, which kept Diaz in
power, has served to bar Chamorro
from any active part in Nicaraguan
affairs during the past year.

PLEA TO RELEASE D0TY
BASED ON AGED MOTHER
American Lawyer Appeals to
France to Discharge Him From
Army in Algeria.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, October 1.-The Paris edi-
ton Of the New York Herald Tribune
says an American lawyer has ap-
pealed to the French war ministry
to give Bennett j. Doty, American
war veteran. his discharge from the
French Foreign Legion on the ground
that his mother IS old and infirm and
bitterly disappointed over his return
to the regiment.
Upon his recent release from a
French prison after serving part OF
an eight-year sentence for desertion
while on active duty in Syria, Doty
was ordered to rejoin the regiment
and serve the four years and one
month remaining Of his five-year en-
listment.
If the legal adviser to the ministry
decides that the discharge can be
granted without creating an unwel-
come precedent. the final decision will
rest with NJ. Painleve, the war min.
lister. Doty Is now with his regiment
at Sidi-Bel- -Ahbes. Algeria.

When Nature
! Operates
Sleep an Important Factor
in Health
BE CAREFUL OF YOUR
BED FOUNDATION

The open space between the
side rails and the head and foot
of a double bed is approximately
27 square feet. ANY bedspring OF
proper dimensions will fill this
space. That is if all you required
was a spring. But you need some
thing more. Therefore, it may
come as a surprise to many to
hear the lowly bedspring spoken
of as Natures Operating Table.
But this is essentially just what
it is and there's a reason.
The nightly duty Of Nature Is
to restore the human body-to
rebuild lost vitality-to restore
the worn and weary nerve and
muscle tissues -to replace ex-
hausted cells with new.
Thus when you go to bed, Ma
lures gentle anesthetic 8 lee p
watts you into inconsistencies
and the process Of rebuilding your
body begins.
If your bedspring says or
drops away in the middle, caus-
ing discomfort and wakefulness,
or if because of a poor spring
you sleep in a cramped or
strained position, the body natu-
rally suffers and you feel the ef-
fects in the morning. II, on the
other hand, you sleep on a bed.

spine suppors, absolute comfort
and true nerve relaxation, you
get the maximum benefits Of Ma
ture's simple yet exhilarating op'
Grafton and this is why the choice
of the best bedspring is q real
investment in health.
1t will pay any one to keep this
thought in mind. 1t may ever
pay to change your present bed

a good spine and well-orderec
nerves are much to be preferred
to a poor bedspring.
