TEXAS BREVITIES
El Paso, Texas.—Asserting that
there Is no warrant of international
Jaw or treaty under which the 5,000
'Mexicans who fled to the United
States after the battle of Ojinaga and
who are Interned at Port Bliss can
ho held, representatives of the Huerta
government here are preparing to in-
stitute habeas corpus proceedings to
obtain their liberation. Harris Wal-
thai and 11. R. Gamble are acting
for the Huerta government under
the immediate direction of Miguel E.
Diebold, Mexican cc>nsul general at
large.
''I assume the clause on which
these Mexicans are hielrw ■leaf ,u- .he
one Jn rrua **« •«•- "HfV which-states
mat if a group of belligerents from
one country warring with another
takes refuge in a third, the third
sountry must interne them for the
period of the war," Mr. WaltSial said.
"The United States and Mexico are
signatories to the .treaty, but that
Instrument contains no reference to
a situation like the present, where
the conflict is internal. Mexico is
not at war with any other country
and yet that was the only contin-
gency foreseen by the authors of the
treaty.
"Before going into the court we
will approach the state department
on the subject. If we fail there, we
•will apply for a writ of habeas cor-
pus, for the right is suspended only
in time of war or where martial law
has been declared. Neither condition
exists here."
WON'T ACT ON BENTON CASE.
England Looks to United States at
Present.
London.—The British government'?
view that no immediate action could
he taken by it in connection with
the deadlock over the investigation
Into the death at Juarez of William
Benton, the British subject, was
made quite plain Tuesday in the
house of commons by Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary.
Sir Edward was, however, equally
explicit in pointing out that if Great
Britain failed to secure satisfaction
through the United States, the Brit-
ish government reserved to itself the
right to secure reparation whenever
it was able to do so.
Nogales, Sonora.—Commission to
investigate the Benton caBe was ap-
pointed Tuesday by Gen. Carranza.
The decision was taken after a long
session of the provisional cabinet.
Ruling on Liquor Shipments.
Jefferson City, Mo.—The right of
express companies to refuse to de-
liver C. O. D. shipments of liquor
Into Texas was upheM by the Mis-
souri supreme court. The decision
of the court was based on the Texas
law prohibiting such shipments. A.
liquor dealer of Kansas City claimed
he had delivered shipments of liquor
to the Pacific Express Company and
to the Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express
for Texas points. Before the ship-
ments were delivered the Texas law
prohibiting such shipments became
effective.
$250,000 Fire in New Orleans.
New Orleans.—Two sheds of the
Louisiana Hallway and Navigation
Company on New Basin canal, con-
taining 4,600 bales of cotton and sev-
eral freight cars, were destroyed by
fire. The loss is estimated at $250,-
000, The amount of insurance is
not known. A negro who gave his
name as James Turner, was asleep
1n the cotton and was rescued, badly
burned. Turner told the police that
he saw a negro walking through the
cotton yard throw a lighted cigarette
among the cotton.
Fix Blame for Ship's Loss.
Boston, Mass.—Responsibility for
tho wreck of tho tank steamer Okla-
horn a, which broke in two off the
coast of New Jersey on Jan. 4 with
the loss of 21 lives, is placed wholly
on the failure to put in force a legal
provision that would control and

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur
and Nobody Will Know.
Almost everyone knows that Bage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound-
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to tho hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, Itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to got thle mixture
was to make It at borne, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul-
phur Hair Remedy." You will get a
large bottle for about 60 cents. Every-
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, ae it does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with It and
draw this through your hair, taking
ono small strand at a time; by morn-
ing tho gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

"At what timo was the ham stolenT"
" 'Bout lebben er-clock, dey say."

WHEN KIDNEYS ACT BAD
TAKE GLASS OF SALTS
Eat Less Meat If Kidneys Hurt or Yow
Have Backache or Bladder Misery
—Meat Forms Urle Acid.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can mako a mistake by flush-
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
ble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache In
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, ofTensiVe, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at-
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful In a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fa-
mous salts Is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon Juice, combined with
Uthla and has been used for genera-
tions to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids In urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts 1>I inexponslvo snd ennnot
Injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent llthla-water drink which all reg-
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean nnd
the blood pore, thereby avoiding te-
kidaey complications.—Adv.
