The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and Is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it.

SUMMARY OF THE EVENTS Facts Leadilhg Up to Recognition of Carranza Government Sent to Senate In Form of Letter. Washington.-President Wilson has sent to the Senate his response to the Fall resolution requesting him to re port on facts leading up to recognition by the United States of the Carransa Government of Mexico. It was in the form of a letter from Secretary Lans. ing, summarizing the events which preceded recognition and transmit ting a great volume of data. The President through Mr. Lanoing declined to comply with that part of the Fall resolution asking for diplo matic and consular reports on politi cal conditions and events in Mexico. The senate was informed that it was not compatible with public interests to furnish this correspondence inas much as it was of a highly confiden tial nature and "submitted by consu lar officers of the United States, by diplomatic or consular officers of oth er governments which have gracious ly consented that their officers might supply this government with informa tion during the necessary absence of American representatives and by oth er persons residing in Mexico." As to the ability of Carranza to fut fill his promises to protect foreign lives and property, Mr. Lansing said that under all the circumstances, the de factor government, which at the tuma of recognition controlled more than 75 per cent of Mexico's terri tory, was affording "reasonable ade quate protection to the lives and prop erty of American citizens." The data disclosed that 76 Amer cans were killed in Mexico in the years 1913, 1914, 1915 and compared with 17 in the three years preceding. and that 20 civilian Americans and 16 soldiers were killed on American soil in the last three years as a re suit of Mexican troubles. The response to the resolution is expected to stir up a new discussion of the Mexican situation in the' sena ate and too bring a vote quickly on the nomination of Henry Prather Fletcher, as Ambassador to Mexico. SEABOARD LIMITED WRECKED. Third Accident in Two Weeks Occurs Near Richmond. Richmond, Va. - Eleven persons were injured, several of them ser iously, when the northbound Florida Limited No. 10 on the Seaboard Air Line Railway, crashed through a trestle spanning Kingsland Creek, eight miles south o Richmond. The engine p~assed over- the trestle in safe ty but the baggage car leaped from the track tearing. up the ties and rails and through this gal) four coachee liunged and turned over on their sides at the bottom of the 20-foot embank ment. Fifty-seven passengers were aboard the train and that there wvas nIot heavy loss of life is attributed to the fact that all of the derailed Pull man coaches were of heavy steel con struction.

Tne bar opened a switch where the track branches off toward a gravel pit. As the front trhek of the baggage car struck the open switch it left the tracks and ran on the ties a distance of 1,000 feet until it sqtruck the guard rail on the trestle.

"I have had a soreness in my side so that I could not lie on it to sleep. The back of my head hurt me a great deal too, so that I had to lie with my head high on the pillow. Once a month I would' have a great deal of back ache... Then I would suffer from dizziness, which would be so bad I could hardly sit up and would have a very queer feeling in my head. The neighbors all advised me to have a 4.octor, but I had heard a great deal of Cardui and decided to take that. I swelled a great deal too... When that first began on me I would want to stretch and when I would stretch, the pain would run to my hips and shoul 'ders. "Blut I began to take Cardul, and be fore I had taken a half bottle I began to feel better and the swelling began to go down. The pain began to dimin ish and by the time I had taken two bottles I felt well enough to quit tak ing It. . . I think it is the grandest medicine that women can use." Take Cardul.

YOTE FOR RATIFICATION. OPTION ON CANAL ROUTE Also Naval Base In Gulf of fonseca atod Pays Nicarauga Government $3,000,000. Washington.-The senate by a vote of 55 to 18 ratified the long-pending and persistently opposed Nicaraguan treaty, whereby the United States would acquire a 99-year option on the Nicaraguan Canal route and a naval base in the Gulf of Fonseca for $3, 000,000. Included in the ratification resolu tion was a provision declaring that the United States in obtaining the naval base does not intend to vio late any existing rights in, the Fon seca Gulf of Costa Rico, Honduras and Salvador, which had protested against the proposed acquirement. Five Democratic senators voted against the treaty. They were Cham berlain, Martine, Clarke of Arkansas, Thomas and Vardaman. Fifteen Re publican senators joined the adminis tration forces in support of the treaty. Immediately after the senate had acted, Senator Chammorro, the Nic araguan Minister, said he would at once communicate with his govern ment and that he expected ratifica tion of the convention by his gov ernment would soon follow and ex changes made to put the treaty in force. Senator Clarke of Arkansas led the Democratic opposition to the treaty, while the Republican opposition was headed by Senator Borah and Smith of Michigan. During the long debate declarations were made in the senate that Ger many had offered Nicaragua more than had the United States -for the canal route option, and this is said to have been used as an argument for ratifica tion. Senator Stone, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, will call up the Haitien financial portec torate treaty next, this to be followed by the amended Coolombian treaty. Regarding the Coldmbian treaty there is grave doubt whether it can receive the necessary two-thirds vote for rati fication. LEGISLATORS IN FIGHT. Oklahoma Solons Throw ink Bottles and Paper Weights.
