SLEEP IT NIGHT
Tried Different Medicines,
But Nothing Did Her Any
Good Until She Took
Cardui . ,
' MarksvIIle, La.—Mr*. Alice Johnson,
V Ot this place, wrltaa: “For one year I
suffered with an awful -misery in my
back and, aides. My left side was
.hurting me all the time. The misery
was something awful.
I could not do anything, net even
sleep at night. It kept me awake moat
of the night • • 1 took different
medicines, but nothing did ms any
good or relieved me until I took
Cardul. I also suffered with my back.
I was not able to do any of my work
for one year and I got worse all the
time, was confined to my bed off and
on. I got so bad with my back that
when I stooped down I was not able
to straighten up again.
One day t picked up a Birthday Al
manac and after reading It through, I
decided I would try Cardul. By time
I had taken half the bottle I felt a
great Improvement In myself and by
time I had taken the entire bottle I
was feeling pretty good and could
straighten, up and my pains were
nearly all gone.
I shall always praise Cardul. I con
tinued taking It until I was strong and
well.”
If you are tired and worn-out with
female complaints, Cardul may be
just what you need. Try it.

TEMPORARY FIELD HEADQUAR
TERS PUNITIVE EXPEDITION, OJO
FEDERICO, CHIHUAHUA. Feb. J.—
(By Aeroplane to Columbus.)—With
drawal of the American punitive ex
pedition from Mexico, accompanied by
rumors of Villa attacks’and a curious
collision of refugees, has teen quite ss
many dramatic and picturesque Inci
dents as Its entry ten months ago.
Major General-John J. Pershing.re
ceived the formal withdrawal »rw
from Washington at 10:32 p. ra.. Jan
uary 27, but preliminary preparations
were begun more than a week prev
ious. When the order Anally ‘came
truck trains had carried out all bpX*1
gage in excess of that required by
equipment. c
Assemble at Palemaa.
When the first 'provisional cavalry
brigade btoke camp at Colonla Dub
lan, January 31, the 10,750 American
soldiers In Mexico were moving with
clock-like precision toward the bor
der. In the van were the Infantry regi
ments who left before the cavalry in
order, that they might arrive at Palo
mas. six miles south'of Columbus, with
the cavalry. At Palomas It la plan
ned to assemble the entire expedition
which will cross the line Into Colum
bus as a unit on February 5.
Because of rumors that Villa forces
were close on * the heels of the retiring
troops and occupying the camps as
soon as they were evacuated, cavalry
patrols and airplanes were used Is
numerous reconnaissances. Two ma
chines were held at Dublan until Jan
vaiv 30 and flights made far south of
El Valle. A temporary base was then
established at GJo Federico and recon
naissances made until Thursday when
the two planes left for Columbus.
Refugees Guarded
Preparations for sending forward
and guarding the refugees who began
to move as soon as it was evident that
the Americans were leaving were im
provised hurriedly. The bands were
registered, 'kssigned to camps near
the lines and escorted north by cavalry
as soon as the parties threatened to
become too large to handle.
Many of the vehicles, patched and
bound with wire, appeared as though
they would collapse. The ponies and
burros, emaciated, seemed senreely
able to move. Swarms of children,
ragged and wide-eyed, watched the
mounted escort or equalled in chcr.us
when the night wmd bit through their
garments a* they huddled about the
camp fires. When transportation was
Inadequate mothers with children at
their breasts trudged through the dust.
Child Is Bern.
The trip from San Joaquin was an
especially hard one for the refugees.
The wells’ at CharcOs were dry when
they reached Chocolate Hass and the
animals were unwatered for two days
and rtights. Investigation of the rea
son for the delay of one cart disclosed
that a child had been born, the march,
however, was delayed only a few mo
ments.
Those who have had dealings with
the troops fear to stay in Mexico in
view of threats by Villa against the
lives of any who profited through the
expedition. Others, openly announcing
their fear’ to stay after the Americans
leave, state that no serious attempt
would be made to keep Villa out of
northern Chihuahua. Almost all the
Mormon colonists in Colonia Dublan
and Juarex have left. Less than fifty
are left in Colonla Juarez.
Bishops Leave.
Both A. B. Call, bishop of Colonla
Dublan, and C. J. Bentley, bishop of
Colonia Juarez, have left for the
states.
With the departure of the troops the
populous adobe cities that sprang up
at Ojo Federico, Dublan, San Joaquin
and El Valle have vanished. Every
thing Inflammable was burned and
practically nothing remains except
charred timbers. The sole monument
probably will be the truck road built
at a cost of hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
Cereatonles Conducted.
Simple but impressive ceremonies
marked the hauling down of the stars
and stripes when Dublan was abandon
ed Wednesday morning.
Encamped at Palomas, Just south of
the border, when the rear guard re
ports at that point February 4. will be
the entire strength of the punitive ex
pedition in Mexico. That part of the
expedition which has served on foreign
soil numbers 288 officers, 10,463 men,
9,441 animals and 400 wagons. The i
grand total is 405 officers. 12,513 men,
9,532 animals, 404 wagons.
The expedition’s deatb toll, both
from battle and disease, has been: Two
officers have been killed and one has
died; forty enlisted men have succumb
ed. battle and disease claiming equal
shares. Not a single death was caused
by maladies usually epidemic among
troops unused to this country, such as j
typhoid, smallpox and typhus.

Submit Plans For the
Bridge Over Potomac
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2—Plans of the
bridge which the Washington New
port News Short line railroad proposes
to contruet across the Potomac near
Wetomkln Point. Va., were submitted
today to General Black, chief of en
gineers of the army. Both houses of j
congress have passed a bill authoriz
ing the construction and It awaits the

it would be a menace to navigation.

Is “Peace Without Victory!
A Dream, or a Prophecy?
• “ , » - , • V**-sji
Two unprecedented incidents have been recorded in the cable dispatches since VfJ
President Wilson outlined before the United States Senate the kind of peace that “ the V
peoples of America could join in guaranteeing. ” On the day following his speech a great
ference of the British Labor Party in England rose to its feet and applauded for five minutes ' ,•
at the casual mention of President Wilson’s name—and then enthusiastically voted .its ne* -^
qualified support to the British Government in carrying the war to a victorious conclusion!
i I r The other incident was the sending to President Wilson from the Allies* trenches
‘in France^of a number of circular letters each signed by three hundred soldiers, thanking
him for his generous intervention, but asking him to “dream no longer of the chimera
of peace until victory is gained.”
In‘THE LITERARY DIGEST fot February 3d, the feature-article shows what
the rulers and the newspapers of the worl.d think of President Wilson’s attitude. Since
it is not possible to know immediately what the common people think of it. It will give
considerable satisfaction to read this comprehensive survey. v
