Biting the Nails Is a Serious Habit
That Children Should Not Acquire

Give the child all the fresh air posi-

ciaily IN the summer time. II you have

and summer. Dress him in nanNels,
put a nightcap on his head IL Necessary,
bundle him up so that he positively
cannot take cold. II he must sleeu IN
tom, always placing the bed out Of q
direct draft.
In many cases a cure Is effected lust
as soon as the condition is
overcome by extra nourishment or diet

by marked increase in the power of SELF
control and a direct and earnest appea.

While attending TO the general health
the local condition must not be neg.

are free from tartar.
Question the Child.

Possibly the very best way 20 over.
come the habit I'm very small children is
TO tie up the fnger-tips in such a way
that the child cannot get at them. The
mother must have her child in perfect
control however, or all devices Will fail
Backing the fnger-tips has been known
to work a cure, especially In older chill
dren who were anxious TO overcome tho
habit and simply need a reminder.
Constant employment for the hands Is
advocated Tor any and every case OF
nail-biting. Give the child employment
Tor MS hands for every waking hour.
Furnish him with inexpensive mechaui-
col devices, n then see to il that ne
uses them. Get a small blackboard and
diferent-colored crayons. a sand-board,
a paint-box, a little printing-press. or a
stafnping-outht. Give the child some
thing or his or her own 20 care for

PEACH CUP MAKES
DAINTY DESSERT

This is the time of year when few
persons want hot desserts. Anything
with fruit is acceptable. As the doc
tors all advise cooked instead of raw
fruit for summer eating, the new way
of making peach cup should be learned
by every housewife.
It Is prepared as follows. Pare eight
large. soft. ripe peaches: cut them in
halves. Put aside twelve halves and
mash the remaining quantity. Add 10
them the yOlks of two eggs. a half
cupful Of milk, q tablespoonful Of but
ter which has been melted. half a tea
spoonful of salt, one and a half cups
Of flour, u one t~easpOonful Of baking
powder.
Put a layer Of the batter in the bot
tom of buttered custard cups, put on
top of a half a peach, cover with
graduated sugar. and bake in a mod
crate ven for twenty minutes. Turn
from cups and serve hot with cream.

SCRAPS OF VELVET FOR CLEANING

Don't throw away your scraps Of velvet. They can be
used as cleaners for all sorts OF things.
ANY one who has tried to keep a velvet hat or frock
clean does not need TO be told II is a dust collector. This
irving trait may be turned TO account.
a bit of velvet is u fine potsher for brass. II quickly
removes the dust from WOODWORK, or shoes sOied from

one housekeeper even used a big piece of old velvet to
NH her stove to a high polish after IL has been bIacked.
For busting a felt hat there is nothing better than a
niece of chiffon velvet 1t is also good TO keep the bottom
of a silk skirt free from dirt.

To gather this information under the
old way Of individual house-huntlng
would mean a tramp day after day to
the offices Of gen and 20 houSes.
Probably 80 per cent. of these visits
would be absolutely useless. since some
point about the house eliminates It
from consideration
The greatest value OF the new plan is
not alone in the time It saves or in the
trouble il eliminates It insures the
renters getting the house that Is near
est TO what is wanted.
The man who rents a house, even
after he believes he has seen all the
houses that might suit him, is likely
to have a lurking suspicion that just
around the corner is a house that

A SLAVER's STORY.

The whole secret of the Yauui affair was
revealed to him, says Mr.. Turner. by a.
Mexican army colonel in charge of depor-
tations. as follows:
In the last three and one-half years l
have delivered just fifteen thousand seven
hundred YaQuis in Yucatan-deliyered
mind you. for you must remember that the
government never allows me enough ex-
pense money TO feed them properly and
from 10 to 20 per cent die on the tourney
These Yaquis sell in Yucatan for ss5 apiece
men, women and children. Who gets the
money? Well. SO goes TO me for my SER
vices. The rest is turned over to the Sec
retary OF War. This. however, is only a
drop in the bucket, for know this to be a
fact, that every foot of land, every build
ing, every COW. every burro. everything left
behind by the Yaquis when they are carried
away by the soldiers is appropriated for
his private use by the official in authority
over the locality from which they have
been removed.
WHO gets the exiled YaQuis?" repeated
the colonel in reply to one OF my ques-
tions. well. that depends entirely upon
certain high government officials. All the
henequin planters want Yaquis. but unless
you are a friend of one of these officials
you can't get a single Yaqui. All those
sent TO Yucatan are consigned TO the one.
all those sent on TO Campeche are con-
signed TO the other, and these men let
their friends have them as they desire.
In the past six months / have handled
1900 Yaquis-J00 a month. That's the
capacity of the government boats be-
tween Guaymas and San Bias, but ! hope
10 see IL increased before the end of the
year. | have just been given orders TO
hurry 1900 more to Yucatan as quickly
as ] can get them there. An. yes. | ought
TO have a comfortable little fortune for
myself before this thing is over, for there
at least 100000 more Yaquis to comet"
Mr.. Turner tells of the miserable lot OF
the Yaqui slaves on the hemp plantations
and describes the beating OF a youth with
Tor The crime OF not ACCOMPLISHING mis-
stunt or work. The punishment took place
al early dawn in the presence Of several
AChoTeo slaves. The victim was held on
The BACK OF a giant Chinaman and fifteen
lashes were laid his naked shoulders
at six seconds intervals so as to prolong

says the author. are separated from their
husbands and compelled to marry China
men. This IS not only to make the Chinese
Iaborers contented but, as a planter ex-
pressed 1t, with a view to the cash value
OF the offspring, ranging from $500 TO $1,000

with the alternative OF the Seris themselves
being exterminated. DR.. Boido took snan-
shot with a kodak and you could see In II
the governor laughing at the sight OF a.
punch OF hands that had been brought TO
him and that were dangling from the end
Of a cane"
The deportation Of Yaquis to Yucatan be-
gan about four years ago and is continuing
at the rate Of five hundred a month. Presi
cent Diaz issued decree two years ago for
the wholesale and complete deportation of
this people from their homes or wherever
they happened to be. Every human being
that resembled Yaqui, regardless OF age.
Sex and condition, was captured and exiled.
Neither the evidence Of a peaceful life nor
the protests OF employers who preferred the
YaquIs as workmen to Americans or Mexi-
cans prevailed with the authorities.
