Ticking, Aug. s1.-The Chinese gov
ernment is considering the recall of
= Wu ring Fang, Chinese minister at
washington, on account of recent dis
closures ON his part which are believed
here to have been indiscreet.
The government for some months
past has been embarrassed by Minister
Wu,s platform and utterances, and by
his attitude as public character IN
America
Lfang Tuen-yen, assistant secretary
of the board of foreign affairs, is the
leading candidate for the position at
washington in succession to WI Ting
Fang.
WASHINGTON, Aug. s1.-When
Minister Wu was apprised of the Pc
king dispatch this afternoon he said
he had heard nothing about his peins
recalled, and smilingly added that he
did not care If he was.
..The only indiscreet speeches or IN
terviews that know of are some whlcn
I never made or gave out. Inc WORDS
were put into my mouth by other peo-
ME. / understand that in some Japan
ese newspapers were stories that had
been indiscreet and that should be
recalled If such was the case"
Mr.. WI later admitted ms goVerH1c :
ment was considering the question OF
his recall, and mentioned the name OF
his possible successor, declaring MS
government had not in any way intl-
mated to him that 1t was dissatisfied
with anything he had done, and IL hau
not called him to account for any
thing that he may have said.
He appeared rather amused and puz-
zled over the statement that the gov
ernment had been embarrassed by his
attitude as "a public character IN
America" and his disposition was to
smile in talking about it. The minister
added:
Minister Wu's Statement
what few speeches I have made
since my return to America have Deen
mainly to colleges and in universities,
and have been educational in character
and in furtherance of the effort to ce-
ment the friendship between China and
the United States. 1 have scrupulous-
ly avoided touching on politics. II the
utterances credited to me which the
Peking dispatch says have embarrassed
the government relate to so-calied
American-Chinese alliance, I wish TO
say have not committed myself in any
way on that subject more than to re-
mark that it was interesting.
Liang Chen-tun, mentioned as possi-
BILE successor to Mr.. Wu, heretofore
actually has been named for the posi-
tion of minister at Washington. This
occurred when he was customs taotai
of Tien Tsin, and followed the retire.
ment of Sir Chen Tung Liang-cheng,
Mr.. Wu's predecessor. Liang Chen-tun
went to Peking for an audience with
the authorities and was kept there be-
ing appointed to the position he now
holds Mr.. Wu was then again ap-
pointed minister at Washington.

1t would seem that the obvious an
swer to the question, Why do you
eat? is, Because am hungry" Yet
one who habitually eats too much can.
not be hungry. The desire for food
arises frequently from that gnawing
sensation resulting from the fer
mentation of superfiuous food, pro-
duciig condition of auto.intoxica-
tion. In fasting there is an almost
Irresistible desire for food the first
two or three days; then the appetite
leaves one for several days; there is q
gain in strength with loss in weight;
and when distinct desire for food
returns 1t Is natural hunger, easily
satisfied; but this natural appetite In
many cases does not come for 80 days
or more, showing that the former ap-
petite was unnatural.
We do not feed horse on the the
ory that he should be guided solely
by his inclinatfons in eating and drink
ing, but largely by our knowledge Of
what is best for him under the arti.
ficial conditions under which he lives
anu tnaC he may Ue aUie W uo LIS
best work. And why should not a
human being have the benefit of such
knowledge? Should not the child, es-
pecially, have the.benefit Of right feed
ing?
With all due allowance for the fact
that one mans meat may be another
mans poison, that authorities are not
unanimous on foods and feeding, yet
1t is true that there is science Of
human feeding, that we have lost our
instinct for determining what the sys-
tenn needs for nutrition and therefore
appetite should be to some extent
guided by reason. Certainly one
should eat because he enjoys it, but
also, whether he be an athlete, la
borer or professional man, because,
eating largely determines efficiency,
and because health depends upon food
more than upon anything else except
pure air, pure water, and right think
ing which is fundamental.

Savaaes in Civilization.

Civilization does not change pas
sion. The savage lives. Nothing
alters the elemental emotions. Love
changes to jealousy, jealousy to hate
and hate to murder as swiftly and
ruthlessly on some quiet little back
street of small homes or on some wide
and respectable thoroughfare as in the
jungle. No savage land has more
murders than parts of our cities and
states.
The customs, the restraints and the
outer veneer of civilization perpetual
ly deceive. Men and women, particu-
lar1y women, look on life as a mere
merry dance, in which partners can
be teased by change and changed at
a whim. But man remains, even more
than woman, under the guise and dis
guises of civilization, the elemental
savage whose passions boil to love or
death at touch.-Philadelphia Press.

BiIIy's Naive Remark That Caused
Hearers to Doubt His veraoity.

Billy had been taught that 1t is q
sin to lie. 30 of course he never
meant to tell lie. Whenever he did
stretch the truth, which occasionally
happened in spite OF his good inten,
tions, he did 30 merely through the
exuberance of his lively imagination.
Cne day, just as Billy perpetrated one
of his whoppers. the recently mended
heel of his shoe came off. His mother
noticed that the accident and the
lapse from truthfulness coincided.
There she said, severely, "see
what haprened to you as a result of
your wickedness, Hereafter. when
ever you tell a falsehood, something
terrible will happen to you.''
"Will my boot heel always come
off?r asked Billy "Quite likely" she
replied. .'If It isn't that, it will be
something equally bad"
For several days after that Billy
talked but little, and what few state
ments he did make were carefully

The first printing press In the
United States west of the Missouri

last century. History does not dis
close the date of it's origin or its own
ership, but there are extant printed
proclamations dated 1921 and having
the Santa Fe imprint antedating by
IA years the first newspaper Ell Gre
pusculo, prophetically named the
Dawn, which was first published in
1885 at Taos and was in the main a
periodical tract to make propaganda
for the peculiar religious and neral
ideas of Padre Martinez. The first
English newspaper in New Mexico ap-
peared in 1S47, shortly after the oc1u-
patton of Santa Fe by Gen. Kearpy.
They were the Santa Fe Republican

WHAT DO YOU
EAT AND WHY?

II eat what / like" would be the
answer OF the average person scan
ming the bill Of fare In the average
restaurant. And to eat what you like
because you like 1t, is the best pos
sible reason. To eat what one doesn't
like is good for nobody. It has been
shown in the laboratory that "appe
tite Juice" is the first requirement for
good digestion.
Animals in their natural state never
eat when they are not hungry, and
they never eat what they don't like;
and this together with abundance of
fresh air, water, exercise and normal
mental conditions, inhibits sickness,
except by accident, while man is al
ways ailing more or less. And the
chief cause of all the ailments, not
mechanical or mental, to which flesh
is heir, is wrong eating.
1t is generally admitted that most
sickness, temporary and chronic
originates in the arrangement of the
digestive system; auto-intoxication,
that is, self-poisoning, induced by alb
sorbing into the blood the poisons
produced in the food tube by fermen-
tation resulting from eating too much,
from hurried eating, from eating too
many kinds of food at the same meal.
Many of the most advanced students
Of the cause of disease now believe
that the one cause is the retaining Of
waste matter in the system, which is
a necessary result of wrong feeding.
OF course these abnormal conditions
nre traceable, in the last analysis, to
wrong thinking, and they can be set
right only by changing the thought.
And 1t is happy sign of the times
that the study of the food question is
receiving so much attention.
Il eat what can get" This would
be the answer of many an unfortun-
ate; but whether his case is worse
than that of him who can get what he
wants to eat, is doubtful. Is the for
eigner who comes to America and
changes his diet from black bread, a
few vegetables, apples and grapes to
an abundance of highly-seasoned
foods, meat, fine white bread, pickles
and pie-is he fortunate, in the mat
ter of diet? The statistics say, No.
It is a peculiarly interesting fact that
the mortality from cancer is much
higher among foreign-born Germans,
Irish and some other nationalities in
this country than among the Ameri.
can born of those races. Cancer, in
the opinion OF the late. DR.. Nicholas
Sem and other eminent authorities,
Is a disease of over-indulgence, and,
we believe indulgence in flesh meat.
The Italians, Greeks, Bohemians and
others who continue to live ON the
simple diet Of their home countries
show low rate Of death from these
diseases. The foreign-born Irish and
German peasants sooner fall victims
to cancer and tuberculosis when they
adopt the extravagant mixed diet of
the average American family, because
they are more susceptible than those
who have become habituated, to Ger,
tain degree, to the more extravagant
diet Of the new country.
It has been said that we are ma
tion of dyspeptics. and the cause is
easily found. Certainly, the natural
way is to eat what one likes. But,
unfortunately, many, If not all of us,
are not natural. in eating as In many

The Raging BOtna

The rain last Friday night was one
of the heaviest downpours we have had
this season. According to the record
the fall was about three inches in Au-

other parts of the county. The result
of it was that on Saturday the Botna

dangerous and difficult to cross. Ar

said he tried two or three places be-
fore he found one he was willing to
ford. A good many people came to

back rather than run the risk OF cross
ing. G. l.. Carter attempted to cross
