How many timea at the end of the
New Tear did you make up your mind
to •‘Quit drinking”—to free youreelf
from the dreadful fangs of the *l*v-
enr of boose? How many times hare
you “Quit drinking”—only to fkll
back worse than ever after a few
days, a week or a month?
Cannot a man quit on hie own ac-
count—by exerting hie will power?
MOST A88URBDLY HR CANNOT.
The desire for strong elcohoiic
drinks is not a diaeaae—it is a poison-
ing of the entire system—and unless
you have a way of removing this poi-
son from your system, there Is no pos-
sibility of stopping.

Associated Press Dispatch,
Princeton, N. J., Jan. 1.—Governor
Woodrow Wilson intimated tonight
that If It were possible he would like
to go afoot between the White house
• and Capitol when he takes the oath
of office as president on March 4.
“The story that Jdfferson rode on
horseback to the capltel and hitched
his horse to a post while he went
in to take the oath of office ia not
true,” said the governor. He was told
that Governor Suiter walked to the
.capitol at Albany and had abolished
the parade. Mr. Wilson spqke ap-
provingly of this. He was asked if
he had made any plans for his own
inauguration in this connection.
“I haven’t thpught out the method
at all," he said. “I simply have sat-
isfied myself with impressing the in-
augural committee with my desire to
have the Inauguration as simple as
possible. I dare say the great crowds
in the streets of that day would make
walking to the White house and Cap-
itol difficult.”

COL. OBRRGON RETURNS.
Dating Commander Bring, MM Mayo
Mayo ladlaaa to Agwa Prieta
Special to The Timet.
Douglas, Aria., Jan. —Col. Obregou.
te ero of the battle of Fronterae, is
due to arrive in A gun Prieta within
the days, with a force of 660 Mayo In-
diana, following an overlgd march
from the south of the state. This
report which comes from a reliable
source, seta at rent the atory that
General OJada ia ao confident of the
present peaceful status continuing
that he had decided to reduce hts
force to a peace footing.
The story of Ojeda’s apparent com-
placence and belief that :-.everything
is lovely and the gooae honk, high.”
gained credence because of ols having
sent the larger part of h1s force to
Cananeo or Hermoelllo for duty. The
news that Obregon is coming with
his $06 Indiana, for border duty, Indi-
cates that the government is not so
certain that the reports of the open
tng of another revolution In January
are baseless, an wolld appear.
Col. Obregon and his Mayes left
here about two months ago for the
south to engage the Yaqula. Accord-
ing to reports received, the Yaqul*
are not quelled. The withdrawal of
the Mayos. who are conceded to be
good fighters and bringing them to
the border, would serve as a stronger
indication that the Kaderistas are
somewhat worried by the reports.
Special to The Timet.
Fort B umher, N. M-, Dec. 31.—Three
shots wero herd last night between 11
and 12 o’clock, but nothing much
thought of It until this morning.
Clyde Slane, who runs the feed store
for C. J- Gerhard on 4th street, went
to Mr. Gott’s residence and asked for
a pan of water lo wash blood out of
hi hair. He seemed to be -rational
at the time but when later examined
he was unable to give any account of
the shooting.
One of the bullets from a Colts 45
made a scalp wound about three In-
ches long on the right side and top
of his head. It did not penetrate
the skull, but I* powder burnt and
the bullet has probably fraotured hi*
akuk, as he soon became uncon-
scious after walking to the Doctor’s
office.
There Is some mystery about the
shooting for his bed shows that he
went to bed after being shot. Also,
three shots were flrsd, and three bul-
l.t holes arc In the front of the feed
store building. One about five feet
high which went, through the win-
dow casing, one about six feet high
through the window and one lodged
in the celling just above the wlrtdow.
It seems there is no explanation of
the shooting until he revives and
gives an account of It. At present he ■#
still unconscious.

Do some foods you eat hit back

Into stubborn lumps and cause a sick,
aour, gassy stomach? Now, Mr. or
Mrs. Dyspeptic jot this down:
Df&pepsin digests everything, leaving
nothing to sour and upset you. There
never was anything so safely quick,
ao certainly effective. No differ-
ence how badly your stomach is dis-
ordered you wilt get happy relief In
ftvo minutes, but what pleases you
most is that it atrengthens and reg-
ulates your stomach so you can cat
your favorite foods without feer.
Most remedies give you relief some-
times—they are Blow, but not sure.
Diapepsln is quick, positive and puts
your stomach in a healthy condition
so the misery won’t come back.
You feel different as soon as Dla-
pepsin comes In contact with the
stomach—distress Just vanishes —
your stomach gets sweet, no gases,
no belching, no eructations of undi-
gested food, your head clears and you
feel fine.
Go now, make the lyest investment

pulled off a good Joke on a coup!*
of San Juan county attorneys. When
the prisoner was arraigned he told
the court that he did not want to plea
until after he had had a talk with
the district attorney. The Judge told
him that this was Impowdble, but
Informed him that an attorney would
be appointed for him If he did not
have the means to employ one him-
self.
When the Judge called for an at-
torney to volunteer one of the law-
yer# stood up and stated that he and
another attorney would volunteer to
look after tho prisoner’s interests.
The latter turned hi# head to one
side and took a look at his new at-
torneys. then turned back to the
court and to tho surprise of all pres-
ent and the special mortification If
the two attorneys stated In a clear
voice;
"1 plead guilty now, your honor.”
The court room was convulsed
with laughter and It has been unnafe
since that time for the two attorneys

case to attempt a joke on anyone
