MEXICO'S HANDICAP. _ If there was half the disposition to set together and do something that thére is to start & revolution and epill blood, Mexico would not be in its existing condition “today. Many are the misunderstandings and slight the pretexts for declaring war in that Apparently dittle effort is wasted in endeavoring to avoid a fight or litlle judgment used in proceeding to the settlement of questions upon which leaders might Tightly differ. Force seems to be the only acceptable method- of adjusting big questions in, that republic, greatfly to the distress of that nigtion and to the regret of its friends. The present break between Villa and Carranza has heen threatened for a ong time. It developed long before Huérta was driven out and it was only by the activities of those who realized ‘he seriousness and probable result.of t that the more “serious rupture had deen prevented until now. Their ri- valry has been such that hed the re- volt been avoided it would have mark- >d one of the greatest steps ahead for Mexico in a long time. Such, however, -alled for sacrifices which neither w: willing to make. It is a case of per- sonality before patriotism, regardless »f what the cost is to the country and ‘he people. Unfortunately there appears to be 10 other way out of the difficulty. Slimination by force is Mexico's way »f overcoming obstacies and it wilt ‘equire many years of a higher civili- ation before it is changed.

When it is announced that New Tork has'the Jowest infant mortality ale of any of the first class cities in he country, it reveals among other ‘hings just how much can be accom- rlished by proper direction in over- :oming adverse cornditions. There is wt a rity in the country, regardless »f its size which does not have a re- iponsibility in insuring proper health :onditions and in deing its utmost to ower the death rate among babies by urnishing instructions as to the care f young children, and wherever there = & decrease in infant mortality it can n a large measure be attributed to uch efforts. 35-3.

Even after the submarines of two hostile navies have madé dam- 'aging inroads on ‘each other’s line of ‘battle strength the mastery of the sea avill still have to be fought for and awarded to.the bigger and better fleet of fighting ships.” - 3 .

The very best way to keep fish in camp (or any where without ice) is to scale, clean and behead them; then string them by a cord through their, tails and hang them, head downward, in a dry, breezy, shady place. No fish should be eaten that have been lying in the sun or that have begun to soft- en.

A very good way to prevent moths from nesting in yvour clothing is to pack the trunk or drawer where the same may be stored a bottle contain- ing two ounces of chloroform. Have the cork of the bottle fastened in firm- ly, but punctured in two or three places, so as to allow the fumes to es- cape. ‘This is not only & protection from the matured moths but kills the eg#s without injuring the fabric, TO SHARPEN SHEARS. ‘When scissors become dull put a pin between the blades and rub it up and down, working the blades as in cutting. This will put 2 new edge on the scis- sors and takes but 2 moment’s time, SILK SHIRTS. To launder silk shirts which have the tucked bosom that cannot be ironed proceed as follows: Afier washing the shirt, wring and fold in a Turkish towel, roll up solid and let it lie a while. Then iron the shirt except the bosom, which you place over a bosom board and pin firmly to it and place where it will dry, and it will look as good as new. KEEP SKEWERS. Do not throw away skewers—either the metal or wooden kind. The metal ones are excellent for turning broiling steaks and chops—making only one puncture, where a fork makes two— also for lifting boiled‘and roasted po- tatoes.

Mr. Editor: For the sake of suffering humanity, will you reprint the enclosed appeal in The Bulletin? “The greatest war the world has ev known is devastating Europe. Many thousands have already perished and thousands more are dying of their wounds. The continent has become a great slaughter house. “We in happy, peaceful, prosperous America: have little comprehension of the frightful character of the suffering among the European peoples caused by this overwhelming war.

We invoke your pity and your practi- cal help, not for the soldiers in the fleld, nor for those in the hospitals, where they are being patched up that they may fight again, but for the num- berless widows and orphans in whose behalf no voice has yet been ralsed. They are, in a very real sense, the worst sufferers by the war. Today they sit sad and helpless in their deso- lated homes, knowing that their dear ones will never cross the threshoid again; put there are, alas! many more who have no roof to shelter them and who are friendless and forsaken, their little homes destroyed and all their worldly possessions, save what they can carry away in their hands, de- voured by this insatiable war. “All thiough Belgium.
