Last Friday morning at 8:00 a.
m. we left here expecting to be
in Suol. by 5:00 p. in. All along
the road we saw evidence of ban-
dits; stations burned and cars
wrecked and burned. We seemed
to be getting closer and closer to
them all the time and finally
came to Penjamo and the depot
was still smoking. There were 36
cars of coffee, rice, wheat and al-
cohol burned, and all connected
with the depot shot. 1 took a
bunch of pictures there. On the
wall was written, “Esta estacion

how ignorant they are; they
couldn’t even spell Villa. We left
there and had gone about four
miles when the train suddenly
stopped and the soldiers began
loading up. The women began
crying, ami then suddenly a
bunch of men dashed over the
hill and fired into the train.
There you could have seen some
fancy ducking. They backed the
train up and got out of their way.
The conductor had changed his
uniform for other clothes ;md
wanted to take us on. The pas-
sengers demanded that he return,
but he was so drunk that he
would not pay them any attention.
He tried to go forward several
times and then saw a big smoke
and fire in the distance, so we all
returned to Penjamo. We stayed
there a long time trying to de-
cide what to d<>. The scare seem-
ed to make everyone sleepy as

Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric,
Drops and Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant. It contains
neither Opium, Morphine nor other narcotic substance. Its
f.ge is its guarantee. For more than thirty years it has
been in constant use for the relief of Constipation, Flatulency,
Wind Colic and Diarrhoea; allaying Feverishness arising
therefrom, and by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, aids
the assimilation of Food; giving healthy and natural sleep.

Shake Off That Grip
When Spring comes, with its changeable weather
and your exposure, it is best to clear away all the
symptoms left after an attack of grip. That evil
disease leaves you weakened, and when its victim
attempts to “do his bit" he exposes himself to the risk of a second
attack, for which he is less prepared, and which may have graver
consequences.
There’s Danger in Delay
April and May are pneumonia months. In this time a weak-
ened system is a constant source of danger, for the pneumonia
and grip infections are in the air, and after a long winter the
body is so clogged with waste it cannot resist them. Fortify
the health, remove the catarrh, and improve the digestion.
F<J5Sek PERUNA
This reliable tonic is recommended to remove the waste
from the body, counteract the catarrhal poisons and allay the
inflammation that is catarrh, restore the regular appetite and
tone up the entire system to resist disease. A well man is safe.
As a tonic after grip it has won many commendations, while its effect-
iveness in catarrhal conditions is unquestioned. Take no chances—Take
Peruna.
Peruna Tablets are always ready to take. Yoa may carry a box
with yoa and ward off colds and chill. The liquid medicine in your
home is a great safeguard. Protect your family.
