ASK MEXICANS TO DO THEIR FIGHTING AWAY FROM BORDER (By United Press Leased Wire.) Washington, Oct. J9. Negotia tions were under way today to pro tect Americans in Douglas, Aria., from the threatened fire of Mexicans entrenched Just across the border at Agua Prleta. Both state and war departments tried to induce the Car- rania troops near Agua Prieta to move farther from the border. Con sul Carothers had "authorization to treat unofficially with General Villa to induce him to avoid further firing into Douglas. Meantime General Funs ton, commanding the United States border troops, sought to estab lish a neutral tone. Funston's orders permit him to Ore across the border with artillery If the Villl8tas sttempt to make a flank attack by crossing Into Ameri can territory. At the same time, danger from flying bullets is great because the Carranzista line Is direct ly along the border, facing the VII llstas only a short distance back. The battle, It is thought, can not be delayed much longer. Reinforce ments for the Carranzista garrison entrained today at Eagle Pass, Texas, and will soon be on the scene. The struggle is destined to be decisive, military experts think. The last remnants of Villa's once powerful army stand ready for a last ditch battle,' in an effort to inflict a blow that would give Villa's revolt a new lease on life. His chances, however, are considered slim. : Old papers, 6c per package, at the Courier office. Baskets!

Prior to three years ago the me- dlclnes ordinarily employed In the cure of this disease were drugs, sprsys, lotions, etc. In some instance they benefited, but the Improvement was not lasting. With Hyomel you take Into the air passages of your throat and head a ualaamlo air that goes into the min utest cells, and should effectually kill all germs and microbes of catarrh. Its purpose Is to enter the blood with the oxygen, killing to germs in the blood, and restore health to the whole system. Msny astonishing tes timonials have been received from thoso who have been helped by Hyo mel. A complete outfit Is Inexpensive and Includes an Inhaler, dropper and sufllrlent Hyomel for several weeks' trestmvnt. Perhaps the strontiest evidence that can be given to doubters is tho fact that C. H. Demaray has so much faith in Hyomel that he sells every parkaxe under a positive guarantee to refund the money If It does not relieve. VALl'E OF HVHHY'8 LOVE WAS 10,000 IIANKS Portland. Oct. 29.
