HAS NO HOr FOR A SHORT*CAMPAIGN General Pershing Does Not Look For Early Capture of Mexican Bandits. Columbus, N. M., March 26 - A speedy termination of the American exped:.tion into Mexico; is hooked for by General Persh ing, commander of the forces in: the:field, according to advices re ceived here tonight. It is asserted that following a staff conference General Pershing announced that the people of the United States should not place too much con fidence in reports that Francisco Villa, the factional leader, whose command attacked this town sev eral weeks ago, aad been bottled up either by American forces cr Mexican troops. The nature of the country it was pointed out renders it difficult for any force to surround effectually a small band in the wourtain passes with almost impassable trails offering! a means of escape. While it- was understood that Gen. Pershing does [not attempt to predict the length of time American troops may be in Mexi- I can territory, it was intimated that the period may extend into months. Other reports also received to day from unofficial sources, indi cated that with (deleted) troops in the field, American military authorities believe a sufficient number of men of all arms of the service have been concentrated at La Ascencion, Casas Grandes, Colonia Dublan and other Ameri can points to meet any emergen cy that may arise. Several thous and negro infantrymen and two squadrons of cavalry, who have arrived in the last few days are to remain on station here, it was asserted. The cavalrymen will assist in the bor'der patrol and the infantry will garrison Colum bus. Capt. Richmond Smith, in com mand at Boca 'Grandes, reported by wireless that his men had found and buried the body of Cook O'Neill, murdered by Villa's command on its way to attack Columbus. * ~ O'Nei4iw.as one of the three ~ ach hands oitirPatomas Land &.Cattle Co., murdered at that time. The body was ,the second * of three to be found. That of H. J. McKinney was round sev eral days ago horribly mutilated and hanging from a cottonwoodI tree. Reports received from the front indicated that with moderating weather today American troops are not suffering so greatly from the cold for which they wvere not equipped. Efforts of the New Mexico authorities to cooperate with the regular troops in the policing of a number of towns in the State was discussed at a conference between Major W. R. Sample, commandant of the base here and H. D. Herring, Adjutant General of the New Mexico National Guard. Several towns where Mexicans are employed in mines have ap pealed for protection. Among these are Deming, Hachita, Lords burg, Rincon. Silver City, Santa Rita and Morenci. General Pershing said he is making a personal investigation of conditions in these townis: and if he finds any basis for fears which have been expressed, the State has available for duty a full regiment of militia and a battery of artillery. How to Save Waste. Such as cotton and woolen rags, old papers including maga zines, news, wrapping, and card-: board. 1. Keep waste material clean 2. Separate rags from old papers. 3. Separate cotton and woolenI rags. 4. Separate magazines from other papers. 5. Tie in bundles for conven ience in handling or put in bags. 6. Call in the nearest dealer in' junk and rags. It is patent to aniy well-in formed person that what pros perity we have enjoyed the past: year has been due almost wholly to the decreased production of. cotton last season. It is equally Safe to assume that our farmers will be wise enough to safeguard their own interests this year by diversifying and holding down their cotton acreage,-Darling ton News.

SIENT $1,000 BEFORE H1 SOLVEO PUZZlING CASE Shadow Lifted From Home of Prominent Merchant. HOPE LOST TOO SOON Mrs. D. G. Free Regained Health in Almost Miracu lous Manner by Tak ing Tanlac. A home made happy, a lift given renewed strength and relief from suffering which had continued six years and which had reduced her health almost to that of an invalid-that is thE result of Mrs. D. G. Free's tak. ing Tanlac, The MasterMedicine. According to the statement giv en by her husband, who is pro prietor of the D. G. Free Furni ture Co., of 1430 Assembly St., Columbia. "I have spent at least $1,000 to secure relief for her, but Tanlac is the only medi cine which has given her relief,' he declared. "I sometimes believe Tanlae iZ the medicine the Lord sent her,' added the grateful husband. "] shall always be glad to reccom mend Tanlac for it is a wonder ful medicine. I intend sending my mother several bottles for she needs it. "My wife suffered terribly with indigestion and for siN years she was supposed to be threatened with dropsy, of the stomach, which caused her con stantly increasing suffering. She had no appetite and was con fined to her bed the greater part Df the time. She employed ser vants to do all her housework. When she began taking Tanlac, Mrs. Free was a physical wreck, and seemed steadily becoming worse. Despite all that medical science seemed able to do for her. I was spending an average f fifty dollars per month for medical services for her. "We had finally come to the onclusion that her case was be yond relief. I was in a despar te frame of mind. Seeing Tan lac so extensively recommended for stomach troubles. She de cided to try it and the irmme diate i-esult was wonderfuh~ "4Mter she had-.ta!.O tvlo bot ties, tne servants were discharg ed, and Mrs. Free again is doing her housework, something she has not done in years. Her ap etite is good now, and she eats anything she wants, She is regaining weight rapidly, and her pallor has been replaced by a rosy color. And she is in fine spirits. "It is almost unbelievable thai ny medicine could bring such wonderful results; but Tanlac aas done so in the case of Mrs. Free, and it can not be praised too highly. 'She is now taking her third bottle." Commenting on this endorse ment, T. W. Galyon, State agent f Tanlac, said: "Such statements s this, telling of marvellous reliefbrought by Tanlac, should onvince the thoughtful of the edicine's merits. Tanlac, which~ is a combatant of disorders. A tonic, appetizer, and invigorant, is what hundreds of ailing per sons need. It seems to build up the entire system, and creates a healthy appetite, promotes di gestion and assimilation of food, vitalizes the blood and brings back good health."..
