JUAREZ BARRACKS GIVEN
INSPECTION BY GAVIRA
Gen Gavira, commanding the Juarez

instead in an inspection of the barracks
under his command. Ills aides stated
that no news had come up from the
headquartera of Gen Luiz Gutierrez,
and that they were in the dark as to the
whereabouts of Villa.
The general feeling among the of
ficers stationed in Juarez is that the
crux of the border situation has been
reached and passed and that the Wilson
administration will have no cause to
complain of the lack of cooperation on
the part of the Constitutionalists.

Explains Why
Coffee Hurts Many
Dr. W. A. Evans, prominent Chicago physician, who edits the "'TJow To
Keep Well" columns of the Chicago Tribune, said in that publication, under
date of March 7, 1915:
"Coffee is a drug. Those who are addicted to its
use are drug addicts." "From the standpoint of
public hygiene the coffee question is worth while.
It is the most widespread form of drug addiction."
Some coffee drinkers go on for years without seeming harm, but with
others the telltale effects of the drug, caffeine, in coffee, show in various ills
and discomforts, such as headache, biliousness, indigestion, nervousness, sleep
lessness and heart disturbance.

RADIO STATIONS
High Power Plants May Be
Installed at El Paso and
Fort Huachuca.
Washington, D. C. March 29. High
power radio stations may be built along
the bqrder to provide for continuous
communication, night and day. The
army now has a 250 kilowatt station at
San Antonio, and the construction of
two more, one at HI Paso, and one at
Fort Huachuca, Ariz., has been recom
mended. It is possible that some army
plant elsewhere in the United States
ma be moved to the border for this
purpose
1 Ith the high power stations it w ould
be possible, signal officers say. to reach
the field troops far south in Meilco at
any time The low power field equip
ment would not be able, however, to
reach the border stations except under
favorable conditions.
The San Antonio plant is now able
to talk with Omaha, direct.
N Excitement in Mexico.
Official reports from consults in Mex
ico again today dwelt on tho lack of
popular excitement there over the en
try of American troops. Consul Letch
er at Chihuahua city, s6nt the follow
ing "Gov. Enrlquez published yes'erdav
(March 26) an address to Chihuahua
citizens recounting circumstances of
the Columbus incident and the Ameri
can expedition consequent thereupon
and calling upon their patriotism to
remain calm and give the Mexican gov
ernment the fullest support in the pres
ent crisis. This address. In my opinion,
will have a favorable effect locally, in
v lew of frequent publication at the bor
der of alarming reports regarding con
ditions here.
'Under these circumstances. It ap
pears most regrettable that border news
agencies should continue to Impute to
authorities and people here, actions
eontrarj to the foregoing facts."
Vb llnnslnc of Mexican Troops.
The following paraphrase of n offi
cial telegram from Douglas also was
made public:
' I have Investigated statements tele
graphed from here to the effect that
there has been concentration of Mexi
can troops at Agua Prieta. opposite
Douglas
"I saw Gen. Calles. in command of
the forces of the do facto government,
who gave me permission to Investigate

STATION MAY BE BUILT
AT FORT BLISS, BELIEF
A high powered radio station may be
erected at Fort Bliss for communicat
ing between the American troops in
Mexico and the fort. Three months ago
an officer of the signal corps was here
and made an inspection of conditions at
the fort and in Kl Paso with a view to
establishing a powerful wireless sta
tion at the fort. It is understood that
this recommendation favored the erec
tion of such a plant In Kl PaBO.
The present radio plants In use for
communicating between the border and
the front in Mexico are said to be too
small to carry the valume of business
made necessary by the operations in
Mexico.
The original plan of using the old
federal wireless station near Washing
ton park has been abandoned. The
equipment is not of the same design as
that now in use by the army field wire
less and the only things that could be
used about the old plant would be the
high towers These, however, are not
suitably loiated for the use of the army
and it Is doubtful if anj part of the
plant will be used by the army
