FRIDAY
PLEASURE TRIP.
MIS i. LIND;
NOT I MISSION
Former Special Envoy to Mex-
ico on Way to Visit
Carranza.
UNOFFICIAL HE ASSERTS
Denies Political Reason for
Excursion —Others Leave
for Torreon.
I “Oh it’s just a pleasure trip.
Senor Arredondo invited me to go
with h»m to sec First Chief Carranza
and I am glad to he able to accept
his invitation.” •
In these words. John Lind for-
mer governor of Wisconsin special
envoy of President Wilson during
the period that VKtoriano Huerta
maintained himself as dictator of
Mexico parried questions Friday
morning at the St. Anthony Hotel
• concerning the object of his visit to
Carranza.
. Former Governor Lind after some
further remarks allowed the infer-
ence that while his trip is wholly un-
official. he may be the bearer of a
few “suggestions” to Carranza. It
was noted however that the ex-
envoy stressed the statement that he
is not connected now and has not
been connected for eighteen months
with the official family of President
Wilson.
(iocs Merely as a “Friend.”
According to what information
could be obtained from the man who
is said to have shared the presi-
dent’s confidence in regard to the
policy toward Mexico former Gover-
nor Lind goes to Torreon simply In
the capacity nf a “friend’’ who is
anxious to see Carranza “make
good” now that he has secured rec-
ognition.
“Tou must remember.” he said
“that for eighteen months I have not
been connected with the official
family of the president. Of course
I have kept more or less in touch
with Mexican conditions but have
not been called on to serve the presi-
dent in any manner. I have no rea-
son to assign for the present trip Into
Mexico except that between Senor
Arredondo and myself there exists
a friendship which probably prompt-
ed him to invite me to be with him
when he presents to Governor Car-
ranza the formal note of recognition
from the United States. T want it to
be known that there is no political
reason for me to go and I am not the
representative of President Wilson or
the bearer of anything from him.”

Nobody Can Tell When You
Darken Gray Faded Hair
With Sage Tea.
Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sul-
phur. Whenever her hair fell* out or
took on that dull faded or streaked
appearance this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect. By
asking at any drug store for “Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound.” you
will get a large bottle of this old-
time recipe ready to use for about
50 cents. This simple mixture can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair and Is
splendid for dandruff dry itchy
scalp and faP4ng hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth’s Sage
and Sulphur because It darkens so
naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied—it’s so
easy to use too. You simply dampen
a comb or soft brush and dMW it
through your hair taking one strand
at a time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application
or two it is restored to its natural
color and looks glossy soft and
abundant.
CATARRH CAUSED
BY A GERM
Mnst Be Destroyed Before Catarrh Itself
Can Be Cured. Wonderful Results From
Breathing Medicated Air.
Medicine that acts on the blood alone
will never cure catarrh. And neither will
the sprays douches lotions creams and
other temporary reliefs that so many ca-
tarrh victims make a habit of using. To
cure catarrh so it won’t come back you
must first drive from your body the mil-
lions <»f germs that are flourishing In the
inner recesses of your nose and throat
and are causing the disease.
Thore Is a preparation used to do this
called Hyomsi (pronounced Hlgh-o-me>.
Hyomei is a glrm killing vaporised air
formed from the pun st oil of Eucalyptus
combined with other healing and antisep-
tic ingredients. You breathe Hyomei
through the mouth and nose by means
of a little hard rubber inhaler which drug-
gists furnish with it. This medicate ger-
micidal air penetrates into every fold and
crevice of the mucous membrane of your
nose and throat kills the catarrh germs
that lodge there soothe reduces and
heals the swollen- membranes stops the
discharge and opens up the clogged nos*
and air passages in a truly wonderful
way. It gives blessed relief in five min-
ute® from catarrhal distress of every kind
and if you make a practice of breathing
Hyomei for a few mlnues each day for
just a few weeks not only will all the
symptoms of catarrh vanish but the d‘s-
ease itself will be a thing of the past. No
one n«ed try or buy Hyomei on pure faith.
Many leading druggists in San Antonio
and vicinity sell it with the positive guar-
antee that it must cure catarrh or that
the money paid for it will be refunded.
Hyomei is very inexpensive and with this
protecting guarantee behind your pur-
chase there is absolutely m reason why
any sufferer from Catarrh should not rive
it a fair trial.

days after which he will return
through San Antonio. In conversa-
tion with Postmaster George Armi-
stead who was among his callers
he said he hoped to be able to spend
several days here on his return.
FRIENDSHIP OF 0. S.

quet Proves an Enjoy-
able Affair.
The banquet given by members of
the Sociedad de la Union in honor of
their American friends Thursday

The toasts which breathed a spirit

Col. F. A. Chapa of Governor Fer-
guson's staff served as toastmaster
and among the guests were repre-
sentatives of the city county state
and nation. The society’s rooms at
Pecos and Matamoras streets where
the banquet was given were decor-
ated with Mexican and American
flags and all the diners stood while
the Mexican band flayed “The Star
Spangled Banner.”
The first speaker of the evening
was Ed Wilkens assistant city at-
torney. who responded to the toast.
“The City of San Antonio.” He was
followed by Gen. Frederico Garcia
Alva whose toast was “Mexico.”
Capt E E. Booth aide-de-camp to
Gen. J. Franklin Bell responded to
the toast. “The United States Army”
while W. B. Tuttle’s toast was “Th"
President of the United States." Ra-
fael Gonzales spoke on the “Mexi-
can Press in Texas.”
The aims and purposes of the So-
ciedad de la Union which in the
course of the last year has spent
$9OOO for the relief of its members

by Colonel Chapa in which he ex-
pressed the hope that the last drop
of blood has been sir Ml xico.

STRANGESr MINE
IN WHOLE WORLD
Being Worked In Flat Texas Coast
Country Yields Vitalitae
Mineral.
The strangest mine in all the world
is the one located in the flat coast
country of Texas yielding the mineral
substance known an Vitalitas. No
where else has such a deposit been
found. The spot is marked by a
large mound believed to be of vol-
canic origin and the mine opens into
one side of it. Geological investiga-
tions show that the stratum extends
upward from the interior of the
earth and is capped over within the
mound. It is estimated that there is
almost an unlimited supply of this
wonderful substance.
Chemists are familiar with the
main properties of Vltalitas. which
include iron sulphur sodium mag-
nesium aluminum and others. These
minerals in fact form the base of
many of the most used medicines but
as blended in Vltalitas they have a
therapeutic value that exceeds any
combination of earth minerals that
science has been able to produce. Vl-
taHtaa has the forces and properties
that are essential to normal health
and Its effects in overcoming disease
conditions has made it one of the
medicinal wonders of the age. Many
chronic disorders of stomach. Mver.
kidneys bowels and blood are qtiick-
ly relieved and cured by it.
You can get Vltalitas at Sommer’s
Drug Store and all other druggists.

DEAD FISH IN POOL
MENACE 10 HEALTH
Water in Gravel Pit Near
Riverside Park School
Dries Up.
A condition menacing to the health
of children attending Riverside
School as well as to the health of
I residents in the neighborhood has
| arisen through the death of fish in
the old gravel pit near the school
! building. Millions of minnows and
I hundreds of fish some ten inches
; long have perished in the stagnant
| water and the stench from their de-
caying bodies pollutes the atmos-
phere for blocks. The Riverside
School being to the north of the
pool especially suffers from the
smell.
According to H. L. Gibson who
resides at 216 Hansford street wlth-
Ing 200 feet of the gravel pit. the
fish began to die Sunday because the
water in the pit had become too
shallow. By Monday evening he
said the surface was dotted with
dead fish. A reporter for The Light
Thursday afternoon saw windrows of
rotting minnows along the edges of
the pool. Hundreds of catfish perch
and crappie could be counted tn the
middle of the pit. The odor per-
vaded the atmosphere for blocks
around. The school is only 300 feet
from the pit the playground run-
ning to within 30 feet of the bank.
Swarms of flies and other insects
were feeding on the dead fish.
"Two years ago. when the San
Antonio river overflowed” said Mr.
Gibson "It brought many of these
fish into the pit. This spring dur-
ing the overflow others were added.
The month of sunshine has evapor-
ated the water. We have tried for
three years to have the pit drained
and I personally have taken the mat-
ter up with the city health depart-
ment and the school board the
school board owning the pit but
have never been able to get any-
thing better than a promise.”
So far as could be noted Thurs-
day afternoon no oil had recently
been placed on the water. Residents
near the pit assorted the pit Is the
breeding place of swarms of mos-
; qultoes which have made life un-
! bearable In that vicinity.
SAYS EDUCATION MUST
DEVELOP INTELLIGENCE
Dr. Winship Asserts It Is Not
a Cramming Machine
for Facts.
The development of intelligence so
that the pupil may be able to grap-
ple with new Ideas with a fair de-
gree of success is the test of edu-
cation according to Dr. A. E. Win-
ship of Boston editor of the Journal
of Education who lectured at the
high school auditorium Thursday
night. Dr. Winship an entertaining
and inspiring speaker was greeted
by a full house.
"Real progress." he said "is some-
thing entirely evolutionary. and
therefore different from improve-
ment. Great idea change the trend
of the world from time to time and
are improved upon from year to year.
The Improvements however are
merely the details of perfecting the
great Idea. The idea marks real
progress; the perfection of the de-
tail of using the idea Is Improve-
ment nothing more.
Take for Instance the automo-
bile. It Is Improved from year to
year but no Improvement that can
ever be made will equal the great
first Idea of a horseless carriage.
The same holds true in aviation. The
idea which has been improved from
year to year is the heavler-than-air [
machine.
"Now. the great idea in educa-
tion is that education must educate
that It must not be a cramming ma-
chine for facts but a method of de-
veloping intelligence. A child may
have facts pounded into him until
by the mere fact of memory he may
he able to pass excellent formal ex-
aminations and still his Intelligence
may never have been mused. If he
has a real new problem to grapple
with he is helpless and his educa-
tion Is dead lumber for all the good
that it has been to him in teaching
him to think.”
Dr. Winship paid a compliment to
Superintendent Meek In telling how
Massachusetts had tried to get Mr.
Meek as deputy state superintendent
but had not succeeded. He concluded
San Antonio must offer greater edu-
cational advantages than Massachu-
setts for the salary offered Mr.
Meek was the same and Mr. Meek
elected to come to San Antonio.
