Patting the nation’s best youth and manhood in peril solely that a disrupted, miyguided people may not become @ nuisance and @ men- ace if there is any way to bring them to their senses! ‘No man seeme to see or lead the way settled order.” A year ago this month President Wilson used these words to describe the state of Mexico, ‘Tenfold more dark and ominous ie the truth of them to-day. ‘ A year ago one man in Mexico—albeit neither genius nor atates- man—offered reasonable hope of peace and reconstruction. To-day that same man etands for the ruin of all hopes. Instead of “leading the way to peace and settled order” he hes brought his country to the verge of war, threatening it with incalculable cost and dire confusion. Because of him the United States, which has patiently sought means “to help Mexico save herself and serve her people,” now faces the possibility that ahead lies a task nothing ehort of a conquest of Mexico. But what a conquest! What could this country do with a conquered Mexico except to reatore constitutional government and righte to the Mexican people? From the point of view of the United"States, what could the ovou- pation of Mexico mean save an immense responsibility to be borne at Heaven knows what trial and expense? Two years ago, before we ousted Huerta, The Evening World pointed ont the kind of programme to which our attitude toward Mex- feo seemed ultimately to commit us. If ever we were to occupy Mexico the problem of winning popular confidence would become all important. Where should we look for public opinion in Mexico? Amid the remnants of defeated armies? Among the’8,000,000 Mexicans who can reed end write, or among the 12,000,000 who cannot? Among the 8,000,000 whites, the 5,000,000 Indians or the 6,000,000 half-breeds? Among the 8,000,000 who pay taxes or among the peons, many of whom rarely eee a piece of money? A few years since, newspapers and periodicals published in Mexico numbered 459. How many survive and how far do they reflect pop- war sentiment or influence it? Over a territory of 765,000 equare miles, among a population of Dorn fightere—perennially inflamed against eomething or eomebody— deceived, deluded by their leaders and employers, kept in a state of ignorance end euspicion—how could we spread a leaven of national conscience and self-respect together with belief in our own honor and good faith? How—eave by a vast campaign of education involving the estab- fshment of schools, together with patient effort in a hundred other directions, to create a “public mind”? How—save by the most scru- pulous and painstaking administrative system calculated to develop to peace or capacity for eelf-government? How,.in short—save by a programme} infinitely larger, longer, more elaborate and more costly than was vequired for the Philippines or Cuba? When we occupied Vera Orus The Evening World ventured the prediction: ‘When we discover the full measure of the task we are considering it will prove to be nothing Jess than the conquest of Mexico by enlightenment. ‘A job to cost the doer heavily in men and money. All we could gain for ourselves would be a better neighbor. It would be about the most disinterested undertaking credited to any nation in history.

Things You Should Know The Appetite Juice ROBABLY most of us have heard persons eay that the very men- tion of some favorite food was enough to make their mouths water, and we may ha 4 that experi- ence at the aight of something we greatly enjoyed eating. Dogs, when watching people eat, will be seen to have saliva drip from their jaws, and for the same reason; when this occurs both human beings and animals are following @ law of nature, and the law of suggestion as well, for the mind has much—very much—to do with desire. ‘The salivary glands ere situated in the mouth—under the tongue, mostly, and when o greatly increased quan- tity of blood Is sent te them they at once elaborate and pour out into the mouth a portion of their contents, S80 the hungry mam who emelis the odor of cooking food waters at the mouth, thus showing one way in which the mind governs the body. Now the action of the glands of the mouth, whieh produce the saliva, is exactly like the action of the glands @lsewhere in the body. There are glands which produce gastric juice, panereatio juice, bile and other body fluids, through the associated action of which the process of digestion Is carried on. When the hungry man smells the odor of food there te @ rush of blood to all the digestive organs—in the mouth, the stomach, ver and the emall intestines—and as @ result of thie increase of circulation there are suddenly poured out more digestive fluide—not only saliva—but from al) the others as well all along the line ‘The gastric Juice begins to flow, the pancreas and the liver get ready to do their part and the entire digestive system is prepared and able to take care of any food whioh is reasonable and fit in kind aod quantity, The point of greatest importance tn all this story ie that these fluids are poured out only when the mental con- dition is right, and that 19 when there ie in the mind @ desire for food, Should there be any feeling of 4te- inclination for food, if there should be even an indifference to food, what- ever ‘s eaten under such circum. stances would not and could not be a! perfectly digested.

You read in the papers items like this: ‘Weeping Ditterly and wringing her jewelled hands, the handsomely gowned young woman declared that she was pen- niless and hadn't a friend in all the world.
