HARRISBURG WOMEN
KEEP HAIR SOFT
AND BEAUTIFUL
Next time you go to the theater look
around you and notice how the women
with well kept hair stand out from
their sisters with wispy, lusterless.
scraggly locks. Even if their faces are
not beautiful, you will observe how
they seem to just radiate attractive
ness. If your hair is not all you de
sire. you can make it and keep it so by
following just a few simple directions.
Start doing this to-day: first pour a
little Parisian Sage into the hollow of
the hand, then wet the hair roots thor
oughly with it. rubbing briskly into
the scalp until dry.' Do this for a few
days and you will surely be surprised
at the difference it makes in your ap
pearance. Lustrous, thick, long, glori
ous hair is not always a "gift of na
ture:" it may be acquired by carefully
and faithfully following these few little
suggestions for cleanliness and in
vigoration. Be sure you get the real
Parisian Sage, as there is nothing just
like it. It is not expensive, very easy
to apply, and you will notice a pleas
ant perfumed odor which seems to
emanate from your hair, making your
presence doubly attractive.
Parisian Sage is absolutely guaran
teed to contain no harmful chemicals.
H. C. Kennedy as well as all the better
druggists in this vicinity sell it with a
guarantee of satisfactory results or
money back.

SUCCESS OF A NEW REMEO? FOR
BACKACHE, KIDNEYS, RHEUMATISM.
Jlrnr Mr. Editor —l suffered for years
■with backache. Last. March I tried
"Anuric" and have used this new kid
ney medicine recently discovered by
Dr. Pierce, and <t was woudertul the
way it eased the pain and gave me
relief in such a short time. I have
tried several medicines, but "Anuric"
is the only one that gave satisfaction.
1 feel it my duty to recommend
"Anuric Tablets "to any one who suffers
as I did.
( Signed) MRS. MARGARET E. SNIDER.
NOTE: Folks in town and adjoining
counties are delighted with the results
they have obtained by using " ANUHIO,"
the. newest discovery of l)r. Fierce, who
Is head of the INVALIDS' HOTEL and
SURGICAL INSTITUTE, in Buffalo, N. Y.
Those who started the day with a back
ache, stiff legs, arms and muscles, and
an aching head (worn out before the
day began because they were in and out
of bed half a dozen times at night) are j
appreciating the perfect rest, comfort
and new strength they obtained from
Dr. Pierce's Anuric Tablets. To prove
that this is a certain uric acid solvent
and conquers headache, kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism, if
you've never used the "Anuric," cut
this out and send ten cents to Doctor
Pierce for a large sample package. This
will prove to you that "Anuric" is
thirty-seven times more active than
Jithia in eliminating uric acid —and the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor
rector. If you are a sufferer, go to your
best druggist and ask for a 50-cent box
of "Anuric." You run no risk for Dr.
Pierce's good natne stands behind this
wonderful new discovery as it has for
the past half century for his "Golden
Medical Discovery," a general tonic
made from roots with pure glycerine
which makes the blood pure, bis "Fa
vorite Prescription" for weak women
and "Pleasant Pelleta" for liver ills.

spirit of mere protest. They ought not i
to, and I believe they will not, be con
tent >nerely to change the present ad- '
ministration, for one equally timid, j
equally vaccinating, equally lacking in ,
vision, in moral integrity and in high i
resolve. « * » \v e must clarify and I
define our policies. We must show I
that our belief in our governmental i
ideals is so real that we wish to make ;
them count in the world at large, and ,
to make the necessary sacrifice in or- !
der ihat they shall count surely. We
of tills great republic have a eontri- ;
button to make to the cause of
humanity and we cannot make it,
unless we first show that we can se- ]
cure prosperity and fair dealing among j
our own men and women.
Crisis is (irate
"1 believe that in a crisis so grave!
it is impossible too greatly to magnify
the needs of the country, to too
strongly dwell on the necessity of j
minimizing and subordinating the de
sires of individuals. The delegates who
go to Chicago will have it in their
power to determine the character of
the administration which is to do or
leave undone the mighty tasks of the
nest four years. That administration
can do an incalculable amount to
make or mar our country's future, j
The men chosen to decide such a ques
tion ought not to be politicians of
average type and parochial outlook.
Still less should they lie politicians
controlled by sinister influences from
within or without. They should be i
the very best men that can be found j
in our country, whose one great mis- ;
sion should be to declare in unequiv- [
ocal terms for a program of clean-cut.
straight-out. national Americanism, in j
deeds not less than in words, and in
internal and international matters
alike, and to choose as a candidate a j
man who will not merely stand for j
such a program before election, but !
will resolutely and in good faith put it ;
through if elected. ® • »
".Tune is a long way off. Many'
things may occur between now and
then. It is utterly impossible to say •
now with any degree of certainty who ,
should be nominated at Chicago. The
crying, the vital, need now is that the
men who next June assemble at Chi
cago from the forty-eight states and |
mingle the views of the entire country
shall act with the sane and lofty devo- !
tion to the interest of our nation as a
whole which was «hown by the origi- j
nal Continental Congress. They should
approach their task unhampered by
any pledge, except to bring to its ac- |
complishment every ounce of courage,
intelligence and integrity they possess." ;

A Mexican scout gave an Intima

! night that he saw two parties of Villa's

directly south below here.
Colonel H. J. Slocum, commanding

Burn Dead Mail
Carranza customs guards at the bor
j der gates three miles south "of Colum
bus had dug a few rifle pits for the
j fifty Carranza soldiers who fled
| Palomas when Villa appeared in the
j vicinity several days ago.
] Villa's men apparently came over
j the line at this point and the Carranza
| soldiers were reported to have joined
j them, deploying in open order. Villa
| sent them up a deep ditch running up
! from the border and paralleling the
; road skirting the United States Army
i camp, the customs house and the rail
j road station.
The fight began here in town, and
1 the families of A. L. Riggs, customs
| officer, and that of L. Jager. station
agent, of the EI Paso and Southwest
ern railroad, were in the midst of it.
i but no member of either was hurt.
I M. Puche, a merchant, was shot
through the hand.
J. J. Moore, a merchant. 17 miles
west, was killed. A chauffeur, driv
ing an automobile with an El Paso
license, name tin known, was killed and
I his body burned.
Villa Directs Men *
Lieutenant Casteman, officer of the
•lay, turned out all the men remain
ing in the camp. Shrieking battle yells,
j the Mexicans in overwhelming num
bers rushed savagely into the town j
north of the railroad tracks. A courier'
was sent to Major Lindsley, at Gib- 1
bons ranch, fifteen miles east, fo bring
up the troops posted there. The first,
volley of rilles woke all the towns
people.
Villa is said to have heen seen by
several Americans directing his men.
He cut the telegraph wires east, to
El Paso to prevent any call for Ameri
can troops stationed there. The tele
phones also went out of commission.
While part of his forces fought tho ;
hastily rallied American troops. Villa
is said to have detailed snipers and i
soldiers to fire houses. Houses l
throughout the town were riddled with '
bullets.
Woman is Shot
Rlggs, his wife and two children in
the living quarters of the customs
house barricaded themselves behind
mattresses on the floor. L. Jager and
his wife and two children on the sec
ond t'oor of the railroad station build

man S. H. McCullough and his wife
and their four children sought safety
on the tloor. Bullets tlew over their,

C C. Miller was shot dead as he
dashed from his drug store to the'
Hoover Hotel, across the street.
A woman dragging a little girl by
the hand was wounded and stumbled
over the druggist's body.
Shot sis Tliey Med
Snipers posted in front of frame
buildings which had been set on fire :
shot at the American inmates as they '
sought refuge from the flames fast de
stroying several buildings. These Mex- i
lean snipers moved deliberately in the |
dark. The lighting of lamps by house
holders and hotel guests startled out!
of sound sleep by the rifle fusillade
promptly brought a shower of bullets.
Every house in town and nearly every j
window appeared to have been hit j
from once to a dozen times.
Civilians armed themselves and;
from vantage points within their homes
answered the shots of the Mexicans.'
Some ot the bandits sought to entice
Americans out into the streets by [
speaking English. • j. s. Dean was I
caught in this way. A Mexican who
spoke excellent English called to him. j
Dean emerged from a doorway and j
his reply in English betrayed him to i
be an American and brought his death, j
At the same time another American
shouted;
"Hey, who are you?"
"Viva Villa," came the reply.
"I don't know who he is," the j
American answered, "but have some |
of him left here scattered in the
street."
The American pointed to a street in
tersection where half a dozen dead I
bandit raiders lay in the pale light of |
dawn. The quick flash of a few pistol [
shots were visible and disclosed lying s
forms in the street.
Villa apparently left when Colonel
Slocum's troops began pressing the '
Mexicans toward the south.
Villa's buglers began sounding the
retreat shortly before 8 o'clock. The
town was cleared of them by 6.30 and
the remaining people of Columbus be
gan to take account of casualties and
losses. Walter Walker, who was shot
at the Central Hotel with (he pro
prielor, W. T. Ritchie, was a dele- j
gate to (he New Mexico State conven- !
tion of Sunday schools. His body was j
burned in the ruins of the hotel.
Mrs. Rachel Walker, also a delegate |
to the convention from Playas, N. M., j
was saved by Jolly Garner and his ;
partner, Ben Aguire, United States |
customs border riders, who tied slieels
to her arms and lowered her from a
window.
Taken From Wife
Walker was taken from the arms
of his wU'e by one of the bandits who
invaded the hotel. Despite her cries
and appeals for mercy the bandit told
her he wanted her husband to go ;
downstairs and shake hands with his
captain. A moment later Mrs. Walker
heard the Shots that killed her hus
band and the hotel proprietor.
Shortly afterward oil was thrown on '
the building and a match applied. As
the tlatnes spread Garner and Aguire I
reached Mrs. Walker's room, rescued
her and escaped safely.
To Korce Intervention
The Mexican told Colonel Slocum
that Villa left the Bosques Grandes
ranr h Tuesday, made leisurely journey
north and about 4 yesterday afternoon
left a point on the Boca Grande and '
started for the border.
"Traveling north they crossed the
boundary west of Columbus.' said the
Mexican, "and entered town by a ditch
running past the cavalry camp. Villa |
was In personal charge and declared
lie was going to kill every American j
because the American Government did I
not treat hjm right. Villa declared !
Carranza could not brintr peace in
Mexico. With Villa were: Pablo Lopez, '
Martin Lopez, Colonel Candelares Se
vants, Colonel Cruz Chavez, General I
Jose Fernandiz and General Beltran.'
The Mexican, who urged that his j
name be not used, confirmed a report i
previously given out by Carranza of
ficials that before leaving the Santa
Ana district In Western Chihuahua,
Villa had freely stated that he Intend- j
eil to force intervention by the I'nited
States by raiding American territory
and killing civilians and soldiers.
Death to Americans
The Mexican fugitive said that Villa
addressed his men yesterday just be
fore he ordered an advance on Colum
bus and declared the watchword
would be "death to Americans." add
ing that the "killing of Americans
was Just because citizens of the United
States were responsible for the
wretched conditions of Mexico."
" 'The United States intends to
swallow Mexico,* Villa shouted." said
the fugitive, "Met. us do what we can
to make it stick in their throats.' "
A. L. Ritchie, proprietor of the
Central Hotel was dragged from a
sick bed and killed. Mrs. Ritchie was
roughly handled, the bandits tearing

Massacre May Result
in Sending American
Troops Into Mexico
Washington, March 9. Faced by
a new crisis in Mexican affairs by the
Columbus massacre, administration
officials admitted that President Wil
son might find it difficult to refrain
longer from actual interference.
What the administration leaders
who favor a watchful waiting course
fear is an outbreak in Congress with
its consequent effect upon the country.
The Senate particularly, which con
l tains many vigorous critics of the ad
ministration's Mexican policy has just
settled down from the llurry over the
Cusi massacre of several weeks ago.
At the White House the only word
given out was that steps would be
taken to punish the Villa bandits but
it was not indicated whether General
Carransa would be called up'on to do
| so, or whether American troops would
be sent over the line.
The State department is understood
to have begun the craft of a memor
andum to General Carransa. based on
the report of General Funston.
Five American Soldiers
Killed; Stood Attack Off
With Machine Guns
El Paso, Texas, March 9. Five
. American soldiers were killed in the
; battle at Columbus, N. M.. with Mex
ican bandits, according to a message
• received early to-day at the general
offices of the El Paso and Southwest
i em Railroad in El Paso.
The pumper for the railroad at
Columbus was wounded and his wife
i killed, the message stated.
The bandits attacked the town
shortly after midnight, according to
railroad officials, and set fire to many
buildings. American soldiers fired
upon them and the battle followed.
Only fragmentary details came to
i El Paso of the fighting.
Just before daylight a long distance
telephone message to the El Paso po
: lice said the bandits had attacked the
I depot at Columbus and that United
I States soldiers were beating them off
. with machine guns.
Later a telephone message came
from Conductor Lumley, of an extra
; freight train on the El Paso and
| Southwestern railroad, who telephoned
Ito the general superintendent that he
was six miles east of Columbus and
was afraid to take the train into (he
town because of the fighting. He re
ported that two soldiers had stopped
his train with the declaration that
lighting was going on between Mexican
bandits and soldiers near Columbus.
The soldiers told him they were in
need of reinforcements .
A. Daniey, chief clerk, ordered the
conductor to cut the train in two and
proceed on the locomotive to Colum
bus. or as near as he could without
endangering himself and crew, tq,as
certain the facts. The train crew car
ried a telegrapher.
Lieutenant M. C. Shailenbergcr, aid
to General J. J. Pershing, received in
ormation that Mexican bandits during
the night had attacked the railroad
depot at Columbus, had burned the
depot and the coal chutes, and when
fired upon by American soldiers had
returned the firo. Lieutenant Shallen
berger was inclined to doubt that the
American troops were in need of rein
forcements and thought the two sol
diers who talked to Conductor Lumley
were unduly excited. There is a full
regiment (the Twelfth Cavalry) at
Columbus, under command of Colonel
Slocum. The regiment has four ma
chine guns.
Lieutenant Shailenbergcr said plenty
of troops were available at Fort Bliss
to be sent if needed.

HERE'S A CHEW
THAT WILL
CHEER YOU UP
"American Navy" Has No
Equal For Tobacco Taste
FULL OF CHOICE FLAVOR
The fact that the chew is the
best way to use tobacco is proved
by the refreshing effect you get
from it.
t he sweet, flavory juices, which
a chew of American Navy brings
directly against your tongue, give
complete tobacco satisfaction.
That accounts for the
and comfort American Navy gives
you.
American Navy is made from
the same kind of leaf used in good
cigars. But instead of being loose
"cuttings," it is whole long leaf,
pressed into clean, pure plugs.
Try American Navy. You'll be
surprised to sec what a splendid
quality it is, and what a big cut
you get for your money. Your
dealer has it—sc and 10c cuts.
