DEATH-WATCH CAT IS HAPPY
Poe-esque Animal, Whose Cries Re-
vealed Master's Body, Gets New
Home at Los Angeles.
Jake, the black cat whose wails led
neighbors to the dead body of Frank
Hamble of 216 West Sixty-ninth street,
Los Angeles, after life had been ex-
tinct a week, found a new home. He
slept for hours fn the sunshine, ap-
parently unmindful of the harrowing
hours spent shut in the room with the
remains of his late master.
Neighbors adopted the cat when, al
most starved, it was taken Sunday
from the little two-room house where
Hamble passed the last tjours of his
life. Jake was almost a skeleton, and
great care had to be taken at first in
order not to overfeed him, but,
stretched in a rocking chair, his sides
bulging and his big green eyes closed
to mere slits, Jake was the picture of
contentment.
Hamble’s mother, Mrs. F. A. Saun-
ders, offered to care for the sole com-
panion of her son for many months
prior to his death, but when she found
Jake apparently happy and content to
remain with a neighboring family, she
left him in his adopted home.
The body of Mr. Hamble was found
by Patrolman Johnson after the
mournful cries of the cat had aroused
the neighborhood to the fact that
something was wrong in the little cot-
tage.

Saltillo, Mexico—General Carranza
was officially advised of the fall of
Guadalajara before the constitutional-
ist forces. The news was received
with the utmost elation at constitu-
tional headquarters where it was re-
garded as preliminary to the occupa-
tion of Mexico City itself.
The rout of the federals was com-
plete and they have been cut off from
Mexico City by forces of General
Blanco which had detoured from Arne-
ca to destroy the federal lines of
communication. . The federals were
reported scattered in all directions
and great punishment inflicted upon
them in retreat, but no figures of
losses on either side were available.
General Obregon led the main at
tacking force. For several days It
had hammered the Guadalajara garri-
son which came out from their de-
fenses In the effort to scatter the
besiegers. After a disastrous conflict
In which the federals lost ten- troop
trains and more than 600 prisoners
they retreated, leaving an unobstruct-
ed road to the second largest city of
Mexico which offered little resistance
when the constitutionalists appeared.
Further details of the conflict at
Guadalajara said five thousand fed-
eral prisoners with much arms, am
munition and supplies were captured.
The line of combat extended over
fifty-five miles with General Blanco
commanding Obregon’s advance
guard. The constitutionalists are in
complete control of the city, includ-
ing the federal palace.
General Jesus Carranza is prepar-
ing to attack San Luis Potosi and as
he has a force of 18,000 men and the
federal garrison nearly all has been
withdrawn, he is expected to encount-
er little difficulty.
UILLA WANTS NO CONVERSATION
Federal Chieftain Prefers To Meet
Huerta at Cannon's Mouth
Washington—General Villa has vot-
ed against informal conferences be-
tween constitutionalists and Huerta
representatives as proposed by the
South American mediators. His at-
titude was revealed in a telegram sent
to General Carranza, copies of which
have reached here. This information
with the knowledge that General Pab-
lo Gonzales, chief of the division of
the east of the constitutionalist army,
opposes the conferences, has upset
the hopes of constitutionalists here.
General Alvareo Obregon, com-
manding the northeast division, is the
only one of three chiefs commanding
the main columns of the constitution-
alist army who has not been heard
from but it is believed he will not
agree to the parleys at this time.
Carranza and Villa, temporarily at
least, have patched up all their dif-
ferences.

The fussy lady had noticed that the
rude man sitting beside her on the

came in to see what wae wanted.
“Do you allow spitting in this car?”
demanded the fussy lady.
“Well, no,” replied the conductor.

if you want to, lady.”—Cincinnati En-

ITCHING, BURNING ECZEMA
R. F. D. No. 1, Box 15, Corapeake,
N. C.—"My baby began with the ecze-
ma Itching and burning. It broke out
all over his head and face, legs anif
arms with little pimples. I did riot
sleep any In about four months. He
cried and Itched all night and day for
four months until his head and face
were matter all over. He was disfig-
ured badly. His clothing would be
difficult to remove at times.
“I tried two treatments with no suc-
cess at all and I had almost decided
there was no cure for It. I was told
by a friend that Cuticura Soap and
Ointment would cure it. I washed the
child with the .Cuticura Soap and
warm water two or three times a day,
then anointed him all over with the
Cuticura Ointment. He took a great
change and slept night and day. I
used Cuticura Soap and Ointment six
months and he w^s cured complete-
ly.” (Signed) Mrs. Arma Lee, Mar.

Beauty Rules for Summer.
Avoid heavy and very rich meals,
light and digestible fare is required,
c* sisting chiefly of fish, eggs, poul-
l -alads, cheese and fruit, sweets
made with milk, cream and eggs, and
so on, mostly cold, though too many
ices should not be taken. They are
responsible for most summer mala-
dies. Iced drinks should also be taken
in moderation; and the refreshing
lemonade or "cups” m*de with light
wines, hock, moselle or with fruit
sirups, are best. If- spirits are taken
at all it should be Infrequently.
The face should only be washed
with soap and water last thing at
night, but it is very refreshing to
spray it and the back frequently with
rose or elder-flower water to which
simple tincture of benzoin has been
added, drop by drop, in the proportion
of one teaspoonful of the tincture to
a half pint of rose water. Dry with a
soft handkerchief, then apply a little
non-fatty face cream, smooth this off
with the handkerchief and dust on a
little good powder. The face wash
mentioned is wonderfully cleansing,
and, with the cream, provides a great
protection against freckles and sun-
burn.

Saving the Innocents.
“Just as the twig is bent the tree’s
inclined,” wrote Pope, and as he was
discussing "man” and not arboricul-
ture, he undoubtedly had the babies
and their welfare in mind. The season
is near at hand in our larger cities, if
not already here, when the health of
our infant population should be a mat-
ter of philanthropic and public con-
cern, as we know to a considerable ex-
tent it will be. The floating hospital
will put to sea with its precious freight
in quest of air that is purest and
breezes that are most reviving. The
milk stations will do their best with
the resources at command, though the
city should have a larger part in this
beneficent work. We have been mak-
ing progress along this line. We have
arrived at a larger perception of both
public and private responsibility for
the conservation of infant life and
health, but the field is such a compre-
hensive one that much more remains
to be done.—Boston Transcript
An Attractive Thesis.
“This university offers me a degree
if I will write ’em a thesis,” remarked
the eminent millionaire.
“Um.”
"But what sort of a thesis can I
write?”
‘"Pay the bearer’ ought to fill the
bill,” suggested his cynical chief of
staff.
The rescue and perpetuation of the
rapidly disappearing prong-horned an-
telope is to be undertaken by the Ca-
nadian government. It has enlisted the
services of Ernest Thompson Seton,
th.e naturalist, and Maxwell Graham,
chief of the zoological division at Ot-
tawa, who have outlined a plan which
promisee success. They propose the
establishment of three fenced parks
for antelope In different parts of the
animals’ favorite range, on areas not
desirable for agriculture and in regions
that still contain wild antelope.
The first step was to outline the an-
cient and present range of the ante-
lope, then to ascertain the probable
number at large. The combined evi-
dence of many game wardens and
mounted police shows that there are
between 1,000 and 1,500 antelope still
at large in the Canadian northwest.
Prior to the hard winter of 1906 and
1907, there were at least ten times as
many; but that long, fierce spell of
frost and deep snow killed them off by
thousands.

A Stitch in Time
Colds, fevers, congestion and germ dis-

matic pains, headache, dizziness or

Kidney Pills is a stitch in time that
may avoid serious kidney disease.
