It is inconceivable that any
true American could want war
for war’s sake. We are not that
kind of people, and our interests
do not lie in that direction. But
? are confronted with a sit-
uation in Mexico which is calcu-
lated to exhaust the patience of
any person with an ounce of red
blood in his veins.
It is time for us to stop quib-
bling and do some real acting.
Our states bordering on Mexico
are raided with impunity by the
outlaws and cutthroats who in-
fest the northern section of that
country. Our citizens are mur
dered or outraged and their prop-
erty stolen or destroyed. The de
facto government of Mexico is
not only powerless to prevent
these forays, but we have every
reason for the belief that the
authorities are making no effort
whatever to cheek them.
Every American city or town
on the border is in constant dan-
ger of invasion by the bandit
followers of the Mexican leaders.
No home is safe from, the destroy-
er, no feminine heart is ever de
void of the constantly increasing
fear of the brutal ravisher.
Under these conditions the
duty of the United States is
clear.
The citizens of our border
states are our own people, thev.i*
It is an easy matter for any woman to remain young and
fresh in appearance these days. It is all in the care you
exercise and in the quality of the face creams and other
toilet preparations you use.
Our Toilet Articles are very high grade, and yet we sell
them at popular prices regardless of their great merit.
We will be delighted to show them if you will honor us
with a call. • *1^.

Summer
Suits
There are quite a few farmers
m tills county who are coming to
PmLieah, gathering up the Ber-
muda grass that is growing
around the curbs at the court
house and setting it out on their
farms. Every farmer in the coun-
ty ought to try to get a start of
this grass. You can gather it
from the court house yard, un-
der the direction of Uncle Tom,
without doing any injury to the
lawn. In fact, it will have to be
removed in some way, and you
had as well take it as for it to
be thrown away. A good Ber-
muda meadow will support more
milk cows and work animals
than most any other grass you
could have. When a good start
is once secured there is no de
stroying it. The season at pres-
ent is especially favorable to re-
setting Bermuda. Get a start of
it while you have the opportunity.
OUR DUTY IN MEXICO
And if the Mexican government
and the Mexican people do not
like such action and offer any
united opposition to the cleaning
up of this territory, then a great
volunteer army of half a million
or even a million men should be
spread over that country like a
blanket, and not a man should be
withdrawn until every bandit lias
been hung or driven from the
country, law and order restored,
a stable government established,
and the Mexican people them-
selves demonstrate their ability to
govern themselves in a manner
acceptable to other nations.
Wo do not covet a foot of Mex-
ican territory. We do not want
any trouble with Mexico if it can
be honorably avoided. But con-
ditions in that republic have
reached the state where nothing
but American bayonets and shot
and shell will be of the slightest
avail.
They should get it, and without
an unnecessary hour of delay.
And they should get it in such
quantities and with such force
as to forever breed a wholesome
respect and fear in the heart of
every Mexican for the power and
might and justice of the United
States.

Most merchants condemn the
practice of buying of mail order
houses, and yet they will do it
themselves. They may not think
so, but many merchants are just
that inconsistent. They will al-
lo\v a postmaster to persuade
them into the use of government
envelopes. They take just what-
ever kind of print the govern-
ment wishes to give them. They
have no choice in style of type
or composition, and they can
only have a certain amount of
printing placed thereon Of
course, it is bound to be a cheap
job, for the government is losing
millions of dollars on the print-
ing of envelopes alone. This loss
the taxpayer has to pay. The
merchant who uses the envelope,
the farmer, the school teacher and
all other classes of people who
have to pay-taxes at all have to
go down in their pockets and
make up the deficiency that the
government loses in printing en-
velopes. We have never been
afraid of any just and fair com
petition, but when the govern-
ment deliberately ^teps in and
goes to giving people money to
use its p-oducts we think it
time that some protection should
given the men who are trying
to do business on business prin-
ciples. The government will not
only lose money on the printing,
but they will send their product
through the mails without paying
any postage whatever. Someone
has to pay this expense—and it

says Mto Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, K>., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
ionic. She says further: “Before I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as rtm a big water mill.

bad,
a trial. 1 still use Cardui when I feel a little
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, e!c., are sure signssof woman-
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.
