Mitchell, former manager of the Bank of London in Mexico City, told the house rules committee to day that the sending of two Ameri can military expeditions into Mex ico and their subsequent withdrawal is largely responsible for the anti Ameritan feeling in the southern republic. The committee is consid ering a resolution authorizing inves tigation of the relations between the two countries. "Do you think that the feeling against Americans was strengthened by the belief that America or its people were afraid to assert their rights?" asked a member of the committee. Twice Entered, Twice Withdrew. "Yes," said the witness. "Twice American expeditions entered the country and then withdrew." "The Mexicans then had contempt for Americans?" "Yes." Mr. Mijchell said there was a strong anti-American spirit in the Carranza administration. Americans are not being treated with the same consideration as other foreigners, the witness said, adding that Henry P. Fletcher, the Ameri can ambassador, was openly insulted on the streets of Mexico City while enroute to attend the inauguration of President Carranza, while the German ambassador was cheered. 35,000 Bandits Operate.

( The report asserts there is a cer tain degree of co-operation between the various rebel forces in the north, as well as in the south. Villa Disbands Forces. El Paso, July 23.

'The committee represents 12 smaller packing con cerns throughout the country, as well as the "big five" here.

The forest service estimated 400, 000 acres of land have been burned over during the present season, 250,000 acres in Montana and 150,000 acres in Idaho. The damage in Montana was estimated at $325,000, and it was said that 100,000,000 feet of timber has been destroyed in Montana and 75,000,000 feet in Idaho. Breaks Out of Control.

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH THEIR OWN HAIR Thay do, not because it Is a fad. but because they wish to obtain the greatest possible hair beauty and be sure they are not using anything harmful. They have found that in washing the hair it is never wise to use a makeshift, but is always ad visable to use a preparation made for shampooing only. Many of our friends say they get the best results from a simple home-made canthrox mixture. You can use this, at a cost of about 3 cents a shampoo by get ting some canthrox from your drug gist and dissolving a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes enough shampoo liquid to apply to all the hair instead of just the top of the head, as with most prepara tions. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear in the rinsing water. Your hair will so be fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is. Its luster and softness will also delight you. Adv. A Combination Sale of Household Needs Next Saturday at Union' Outfitting Go. Five Big Special Purchase Brings the Lowest Prices of the Year.

' "I weigh just fourteen pounds more than I did when I commenced taking Taniac a short time ago, and my troubles have been completely overcome," said Mrs. iNancy to wards, who lives at 5620 East 12th Street, Kansas City, Mo., while ; talking to a Taniac representative the other day. "About two years ago, con tinued Mrs. Edwards, "I began to have stomach trouble, and until I commenced taking Taniac, my con dition had gradually grown worse ., all the time. In fact, I had reached , the point where I was so weak and y run down that I was hardly able to get about. Everything I fcte dis agreed with me, and the gas that;. formed from sour, undigested food. would make me miserable for hours at a time. I would have raging headaches nearly every day, and was so nervous all the time that the least noise would upset me, and when night came on it was a hard matter for me to get off to sleep. I often had such bad dizzy spell that I could hardly stand on my feet. The different medicines and treatments I tried didn't do me any good at all. "My daughter had been taking Taniac, and it had done her so much good that I decided to give it a trial myself, and I can honestly state that by the time I had fin ished my first hotrle I was feeling like a different person. Well, I lust kept on getting better, tfnd now since taking thre or four bottles of Taniac, I am enjoying the best of health in every wayi 1 never had a better appetite, - and what I eat agrees with me per fectly, and I never have a sign of indigestion or stomach trouble of any kind. The nervousness has left me, and I get plenty of good sound sleep every night, and I have gained -so much in weight and strength that I can do all my housework without the least trouble. Those , awful headaches are gone, too, and that alone would make me praise Taniac the longest day I live.
