President Wilson has received an emphatic rebuff from Mexico in his efforts to bring about an a justment of conditions in that turbulent coun- try. The propositions which he sub- mitted through former Governor Lind of Minnesota, the personal represent- ative whom he sent to the Mexican capital, have all been rejected with thinly veiled scorn by the Mexican dictator, and it must be confessed that the Mexican officials had the better of the diplomatic exchange. The President’s proposals were based upon information which, has not been made public. by the administration. They included some statements of tact which on the surface were easily controverted by the Mexicans, and nothing has been published by the administration to show that the Mex- jean statement of the case was not correct. Presumably, the Wilson ad- ministration had information which it believed to be reliable on which ‘it pased the statements of fact in the American note. If that is true, the President is no doubt not nearly so disturbed by the Mexican denial as he must be by the fact that such a denial ‘of true conditions in Mexico must inevitably increase the menace in the already serious state of affairs. The President knows that no re- sponsible person in the United States wants armed intervention in Mexico, he-himself least of all. He no doubt measure and pledging the members | of the caucus to support the bill to | its final passage without amendment, except that the Committee on Bank- ing and Currency may bring in amendments if they see fit. epee CURES PIMPLES EASILY. Simple Remedy that Claars Skin Quickly of all Eruptions. For several weeks past 8. E. Thor- ley has done a big business in selling Hokara, the skin healer that has won so many friends in Meyersdale. It has been found to heal not only all minor skin trouble like pimples, blackheads, acne, herpes, scaly scalp, complexion blemishes, itching feet, piles, etc., but also the worst ulcers or even chronic eczema and salt rheum. There has yet-to be found any form of wound or disease affecting the skin or mucous mem- brane that Hokara does not help, JUST WHAT HENS EAT, raat Is Usually in Form of Bugs and Worms.

He is avowedly resolved to exhaust every resource of patience before consent- ing to resort to force as the only only possible means of settlement. The fact is that American interven- tion in Mexico would mean many months, and probably years, of " diffi- cult guerrilla warfare. The real trou- ble in Mexico is that a large number of irresponsible persons have obtained arms and have found that life is eas- ier by pillage than by toil. The prob- lem, therefore, that will face thé American army in case it is sent into Mexico is that of disarming the Mex- jcan populace. Peace will be restored in Mexico only when the arms have been taken from those who are now using them for pillage and plunder under the guise of revolution. The military problem of capturing or dis- persing the reyolutionary or the gov- ernment armies in Mexico would be of no consepuence, but to find and se- cure the scattered rifles would be a vast undertaking, necessitating the employment of a large army for a long time. It would be a prdblem imilar to that which faced the army in the Philippines after the disruption of the Aguinaldo government and the dispersal of the insurrectionary forces. The tariff debate in the Senate has found a new lease on life through the discussion of the income tax provis- jons in the Wilson-Underwood bill. Under the strain of the long and heated session, eyen the most ingrain standpatters had grown weary of dragging out the contest with long- winded discussions of trivial and in- consequential details. Considerable progeess was made in the handling of questions of duty during the last few dayf. Bdt the income tax has given a new impetus to the gab fest. It has served, also, to disclose a difference among the Democrats greater than any brought forth by purely tariff items. It develops that there is a considera- ble element of radical Democrats strongly in favor of amending the proposed income tax provision so as to very greatly increase the rate of tax to be levied on large incomes. There is an element among the so- called ‘Progressive Republicans” also in favor of this proposition. Some of them would like to see the tax on incomes of $100,000 a year, or more, raised to I0 per cent, or even above that. An effort is now making to effect a coalition between the Democrats and Republicans who are of this mind on the income tax, so as to amend the bill if possible. The Democratic leaders in the Senate are somewhat worried over the situation and are talking of caucus and inyok- ing the’party rule to hold their radi- cal colleagues in line. Thejladministration currency bill, after nearly three weeks of discus- sion, has} finally been approved by the Democratic caucus by a vote of 163 to 9. No amendments were adoptedfby the caucus which mater- ially®changed the important provis- ions not the bill as it came from the Committee on Banking and Currency. It is expected that the House will take ittup for consideration promptly and that it will be passed within a compdratively short time. After agreeing to the bill the caucus adopt- ed a resolution declaring it a party CASTORIA For Infants and Children, The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the ZT TZ, Signature of 2 | act providing for this having been The.

Moreover, the quantity must be about right of sach. If they are not given enough, they will have to use it all for body building and heat production, and will have nothing left over to make eggs with. If we feed too much of some kinds the surplus will go to fat, and the hens will get too lazy to lay. It takes considerable studying and experimenting to find out just what the hens need, and how much they ought to have, but we must learn as goon as we can, or we will find our Condensed Report of the Condition of the Second National Bank of Meyersdale, Pa., At the Close of Business August 9, 1913.

The following question, in regard to gum oozing from trees, was referred to Prof. H. A. Surface, State Zoolo- gist, Harrisburg: Ihaye cherry trees that haye bunches of gum. Can you give me a remedy to rid the trees of the trouble? ANSWER; The gum oozing from the bark of your trees may be from one of three or four causes. It may be (1) Mechanical injury, in which case the best thing to do is to clean away the gum and paint the wound with melted grafting wax or bees wax, ered backward in the equal suffrage movement but the new law is regard- ed as a step toward the ultimate ‘*Votes for women’’ in that common- wealth. The new law, however, does not extend women the right of sufirage even in school matters, merely provid- ing that women may be chosen as school directors. Senator. George W. Norris, of Ne- braska has lined up with other men in the upper branch of Congress who are pledged to vote for the proposed amendment to the federal constitution establishing national equal suffrage. “Woman is just as intelegent, just as honest and just as patdiotic as man,” says Senator Norris. ‘‘She is govern- ed by the same law.” He adds that woman being man’s equal in all mat- ters she should unquestionably be equipped with the same instrumental- ities of citizensnip including the ballot. Women as jurors in Illinois, since equal suffrage was extended in that state, are proving themselves inval- unable. Judge Owens, who presides over the court for the insane and un- der whom two juries composed of women have sat recently says thav women are giving the thought that is needed in insane cases and their com- petancy as jurors is beyond question. The sunny south has taken its rank among those sections of the country where woman is stepping into places heretofore held only by the male sex. Mrs. Cora B.

NAUGLE, P.M. a ———— Oats sprouted to supply green food when none Is growing in the open. The arrangement of the trays shows sowing at week intervals. Then trays can be slipped out and placed in the poultry house as needed. poultry is not so profitable as it ought to be. The feeding question is one of the most important in the whole poultry business. A\ Experts tell us that a hen needs about six ounces of food a day. A flock of ten, then, will need about three and three-fourths pounds a day, or a trifle over twenty-six pounds a week. Of this amount two-thirds by weight should consist of grains. The grain should be a mixture of equal parts of wheat, cracked corn and oats. A few handfuls of sunflower seed, cane seed or buckwheat should be added for va- riety. They are to the hen what pie is to the boy-—and you know what that is. 2 The other third should be a “mash,” which is a mixture of bran and other finely ground feeds, usually fed dry. Some poultrymen moisten the mash, but the majority claim that it is bet- ter to feed it dry, and let the hen moisten it in her crop by drinking what water she wants. If fed dry there is less danger from certain kinds of disease. A good formula for a mash is as follows: One-half bushel of bran, 4 quarts alfalfa meal, 2 quarts each of ground oats and corn meal, 1 table- spoonful of charcoal, 1 pint of beef scrap, 1 tablespoonful of salt and 1 teaspoonful of pepper. This furnishes both meat and green food in about the right quantities. Where these elements are given in other ways the alfalfa meal and beef scrap may be omitted from the mash. These ingredients should be thor- oughly mixed together, and the mash kept where the hens can get it any time they want it. It is a bulky food, but not a fattening one, so there is no danger of their eating tco much. The bran is one of the best “condition powders” poultry can have.. It keeps the system vigorous and healthy and furnishes a large part of the egg-mak- ing elements. The grain food should always be thrown into a deep little of straw or chaff, where the birds will have to “scratch for a living.” If you have ever watched an old hen digging about in the yard you will know that it is as natural for her to dig as it is to breathe. Grit and lime, usually given in the form of oyster shells, are two other: necessary elements. They should be kept before the fowls all the time. A very convenient hopper for feeding the mash, grit and shells may be made, like the illustration, the compartment’ for the mash being much larger than the others. \ ‘| or even common house paint, and let Nature take care of it. (2) A fungus disease somtimes call- ed ‘“‘nommosus’’, in which case severe pruning back of trees,cultivation, fer tilization of the soil and watering are about all that can be done, as the purpose should be to stimulate the growth. This can not be reached by spraying, as it is beneath the bark. (3) Bark Borers or Shot hole Bor- ers. These are the larvae of very minute beetles that make tunnels be- neath the bark and are also call- ed ‘Engraver Beetles.’”” When they mature they bore through the bark and leave holes about the size of those made by a gun shot, or about the size of a pin’s head. They attack only trees that are declining. There is no way of reaching it in the sense of a remedy, but the best thing to do is to prune back the trees, cultivate the soil and water abundantely and fre- quently with water containing a tea- spoonful of nitrate soda in each gal- lon of water. Thisis to stimulate growth, and often is successful. (4) The fourth cause of gum is a larger kind of borer, such as is to be seen in peach and plum trees frequent- ly. This can be killed by inserting a soft wire with a sharp point, or by cutting out with a sharp knife, slitting ‘engtbwise rather than crosswise, in the bark; or by using the best possible remedy for borers, which consist of a liquid called carbon Dbisulfide, put in a spring bottom cil can and in- jected into the hole they occupy. Close up these holes with mud or clay and pests will be killed at once and the tree not injured as it might be by cutting. This remedy is recommend- ed for all borers. ————————— Fezema spreads rapidly; itching almost drives you mad.

The series of rules is em- blazoned with the Safety emblem of the railroad company and reads as follows: Proper Flagging :—When necessary to flag be positive you go back far enough to absolutely ‘protect your train. See that you have torpedoes, flag®and red and white lantern. Kicking Couplers:—Do not kick couplers or attempt to adjust with your hand asfcars come together. =Walkingeon] Track: —Where it is necessaryfiito walk on track form the habit of looking in both directions for approaching trains. Stepping off one track on to anoth- er:—Step clear of all running tracks. Do not step off one trackon to anoth- er. The noise of passing train often drowns®the sound of the bell or whis- tle offapproaching train. Backing Up:—Be especially care- ful in backing up or when cars are being¥pushed ahead of the engine.
