HUERTA SENDS MESSENGER TO
WASHINGTON.
SOME OPPOSE HIS RECEPTION
Will Likely Gain Audience Because
of Courtesy Shown Mr. Lind
by Mexico.
Washington, D. C.—Developments
in the Mexican situation probably
will await the arrival in Washing
ton of Manuel De Zamacona e Inclan,
personal envoy of the Huerta gov
ernment, to continue with the Wash
ington administration the negotia
eions begun by John Lind, personal
representative of President Wilson in
Mexico.
Administration officials had not de
cided whether they would receive
Senuc De Zamacona unless he
brought positive assurances of
Huerta’s elimination from the situa
tion in Mexico and was ready to act
upon the other points in the Amer
ican proposals for the establishment
of peace.
Some of the Washington officials
feel that the United States has made
its position sufficiently clear through
the parleys conducted by Mr. Lind
and the address of President Wilson
to congress. Further negotiations on
the same points they regard as use
less and merely a process of delay.
There is a disposition, however, to
receive Senor De Zamacona in view
of the courtesy shown Mr. Lind.
Senor De Zamacona’s mission is
said to contemplate not only the
furtherance of the negotiations look
ing toward peace, but the floating of
a loan that would be encouraged by
the American government.
Senor De Zamacona’s departure
from Vera Cruz took Washington of
ficials somewhat by surprise, for
while the suggestion had been made
to them by the Huerta government
that he might be sent to Washington
to conduct further negotiations, the
Huerta administration ordered him
to proceed to the United States with
out awaiting the answer of the Amer
ican government.
Thaw Gains More Time.

authorities. Two of his counsel, J. N.
Greenshields and N. K. Laflamme, ob

whirled into Coaticook on a special
train where not long before the immi

T. Dooling in the United States dis
trict court ordered a fine of $2,000 im

CHARLESTON A HISTORIC CITY
South Carolina to Become a Factor
In the Industrial History of Next
25 Years.
Charleston, S. C.—In the develop
ment of southern seaports with the
opening of the Panama canal and the
steady increase of trade with South
America, Charleston, S. C., does not
merely intend to follow the proces
sion. The historic city, which played
an active part in both the Revolution
ary and Civil wars, desires to become
a factor in the industrial history of
the next twenty-five years. Delegates

Birthplace of Independent Government In
America.
from Charleston business men are
now visiting Cincinnati in an effort to
divert a larger portion of our export
trade to the magnificent harbor where
Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie still
stand as sentries.
There is a sentimental attachment
to the old southern city, which has
evidently awakened definitely from
the pleasing lethargy suggested by
Owen WIster in "Lady Baltimore.”
Sullivan's island, now the location of
a resort with a remarkable surf-bath
ing beach, was the scene of Edgar Al

makes the modern analytical detec
tive story a rather pale affair. The'
government has expended millions of
dollars on the harbor and naval
yards, but lo the imagination the im

MACHINES HURT MEN’S MINDS
Dr. Herman Schneider Says Mental
Lethargy Is Due to Mechanical
Devices.
Cincinnati, O.—Dr. Herman Schnei
der of the University of Cincinnati in
a report on New York vocational
schools submitted to the board of esti
mates and apportionment, said that
mankind is rapidly dividing into "a
staff of mental workers and an army
of physical workers,” and that the
minds of the latter are becoming
lethargic. The mental development
of those who enter the machine feed
ing occupations, he said, is the seri
ous problem that confronts the pub
lic schools. "Energizing work is de
creasing; enervating work is increas
ing.” he said. “The physical workers
are becoming more and more auto
matic, w’ith the sure result that their
minds are becoming more and more
lethargic. The real menace lies in
the fact that in a self-governing indus
trial community the minds of the ma
jority are in danger of becoming less
capable of sound and serious thought."
He said that work on farms, railroads
and in the building trades where the
labor is done outdoors, is energizing.
The labor of a toolmaker, locomotive
assembler and cabinet maker, indoors
Is also energizing. Rut the routine
of the garment worker, the punch

Backache Warns You
Backache is one of Nature's warnings
of kidney weakness. Kidney disease
kills thousands every year.
Don't neglect a bad back. If you r back
is lame—if it hurts to stoop or lilt—if
there is irregularity of the secretions—
suspect your kidneys. If you suffer head
aches, dizziness and are tired, nervous
and worn-out, you have further proof.
Use Doan's Kidney Pills, a fine rem
edy for bad backs and weak kidneys.

she can tell from the way a woman
rocks cn her front porch what condi
tion the house behind her is in. If she
sways back and forth with a floppy,
comfortable motion, plumping both
feet down in a relaxed sort of way.
then everything about the house is
absolutely clean and neat. But if she
rocks in little nervous jerks, tapping
her feet down at short and irregular
intervals, it signifies that there are
unmade beds behind her and stacks of
unwashed dishes and dusty floors.—

THE DOCTOR’S GIFT ■■
Food Worth lt« Weight in Gold.
We usually expect the doctor to put
us on some kind of penance and give
us bitter medicines.
A Penn, doctor brought a patient
something entirely different and the
results are truly interesting.
“Two years ago," writes this pa
tient, "I was a frequent victim of acuta
indigestion and biliousness, being al
lowed to eat very few things. One day
our family doctor brought me a small
package, saying he had found some
thing for me to eat.
“He said it was a food called Grape
Nuts and even as its golden color
might suggest it was worth its weight
in gold. I was sick and tired, trying
une thing after another to no avail, but
consented to try this new food.
“Well! It surpassed my doctor's
fondest anticipation and every day
since then I have blessed the good
ioctor and the inventor of Grape
Nuts.
“I noticed improvement at once and
in a month’s time my former spells of
indigestion had disappeared. In two
months I felt like a new man. My
mind was much clearer and keener,
my body took on the vitality of youth,
and this condition has continued.”
