That khaki-clad land troops would Boon begin the march on Mexico City "became apparent today when the news iwas received direct from Charge O'Shaughnessy at Mexico City that General Huerta had handed him his passports and that he would leave the i Mexican capital today or tomorrow. iThe departure of Senor Algara, the Mexican charge, will sever the last .thread of diplomatic, communication between the Mexican dictators and the "United States. Huerta has decided I Xor war and has so notified the forelgn nations. The most serious of the- over-night i developments and one which convinced the army, heads that it is only ia matter of hours until they are called upon to move, was the defiant attitude of General Carranza, supreme tchief of the Constitutionalists, in his reply to Secretary Bryan's statement of the feeling of the Washington administration toward the Mexican peo- ' pie. Forces the Issue. , Carranza's demand on the United States to withdraw its forces at Vera I Cruz and deal directly with the Constitutionalists relative to the demands of this country, has convinced officials that the United States will have to fight the whole of Mexico.

FORGER GETS CASH BY BUYING RANGES

First the Peter Johnson company delivered a cooking range to the home of William O. Miller, 407 North Fourteenth street, a bachelor who lives with his mother. Just as the Johnson wagon was relieved of its burden, along came the delivery wagon of the Weiss Furniture company, and its driver started to unload a range at the Miller home. ' "We didn't order any stoves," expostulated Mrs. Miller. "We have a perfectly good one." Both drivers then explained that Mr. Miller had given the orders, but returned the ranges when Mrs. Miller

explained that there had been a mistake. An investigation by the police later revealed the fact that the bombard-

; ment of the Miller home with cooking ; ranges was the net result of the operation of a clever forger, who secured ' $44 he was not entitled to and who is ' now numbered among the missing. He passed himself off as W. O. Miller, but his real name is unknown.

Presents Check." The forger first called at the Johnson store yesterday morning, selected a range and presented a check on a Winchester (Ind.) bank for $74.50, purported to have been issued by a Winchester business man. He said he was W. O. Miller, a railroad conductor.

I Change could not be made on the ! check, so the crook ordered the stove taken to his "home", saying he would

pay for it when it arrived. Then he hurried to the Weiss Furniture store and selected another

I range, tendering the same check in ' payment. He received $44 in change and left after ordering the range taken to his "home." ! "Business men will 'fall' for these bogus checks without making investigations despite all our warnings." remarked Chief Goodwin today. The forger is described at five feet eleven inches tall, weight 175 pounds, blue eyes, blonde, smoothly shaven and wearing a derby hat and a dark suit of clothes. He is probably miles away from this city at the present time. The case was not reported to the police until late yesterday afternoon.

TISSUE BUILDING

Tissue is the doctor's name for body -cells. It is to our bodies what coal is to an engine. Every day we burn up a certain amount of tissue. Therefore new tissue must be builtito take the place of the lost fuel. The food we eat makes this new tissue and in a persons gives enough fuel to replace the loss. People get thin and "run down" because they do not get enough nourishment from -their food to supply the needed fuel. When the weakened system does not do its duty you must have a "tissue builder." Father John's Medicine is a real tissue builder because it actually makes new flesh and tissue. When you take Father John's Medicine, the actual food elements of which it is composed give you new strength, and enable the organs of the body to resume their work. Father John's Medicine soothes -and heals throat and lungs, treats colds, bronchitis, asthma. People gain weight steadily while. taking it.
