coupons on its government bonds to

Every country so interested, through

ty Of the Mexican republic, is an in
huence on the side Of peace and or
der in Mexico. In very real sense
the Mexican nation has given bonds
to keep the peace by selling govern
ment securities to foreigners living
under many flags.
Less directly, but still in ways that
count heavily the sales of private
property to foreign investors are also
equivalent to giving bonds to keep the
peace. In the last quarter of a cen

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician, Of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says:
II have always believed that the

with treating the sick, but that we

to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.

public that in my own experience and

APPLE CULLS

Il Wi1I Prove Profitable TO
Squeeze Juice Out of Discards
and Sell in Natural
State.
CBy JOHN ]. TENNEs.)

The amount of money lost by farm
ers every year through lack Of interest
or knowledge of the means to dispose
of unmarketable apples has never
been estimated. That is one of
the big wastes on every farm where
many apples are grown and where
commercial fruit raising is made the
main feature of the farm.
Even the orchardist who is in the
business as specialist must suffer
more or less in his culls.
AS 95 per cent of ripe apples is Juice
which sells for good prices either in
its natural state or as vinegar, 1t pays
big to squeeze out this product
through a press instead Of allowing It
to go to waste.
There are many kinds of cider
presses, but an hydraulic machine ex.

tlons. railroads and other Mexican
property. European money has poured
into Mexico in a similar stream.
OF course. no Mexican government
ever guaranteed the security or the
profitableness OF such investments.
No government of any great power
would undertake to collect from the
Mexican people, as a nation, money to
make good the losses sustained BY
Americans making unwise invest
ments in Mexico. 1t is not a question
of such compulslon.
But every power which has many
subjects who have staked money upon
the stability Of the Mexican republic,
the Justice and solidity of the Mexican
government, and the general sanity
and regard for business obligations Of
the Mexican nation, will exert more
or less pressure upon Mexico II that
country should ever default as a ma.
ton or encourage its citizens to re-
fuse to pay their just debts. In the
aggregate these forces brought to
bear upon Mexico can be trusted to
have a deep and wide influence there.
Such international business bonds
of peace are constantly becoming more
important in many parts of the world.
Every year the financial and CONNER
cial ties which knit the nations to-
gether increase In strength. Always
the tendency of the times is toward
the creation Of closer international re-
lations and a surer sense Of common
interest In the preservation Of peace.

The buying of foodstuffs by weight

nearer getting the worth of her money.

It entails no incidental hardship that

such a plan produce these results Z?
theoretically, one is inclined to an.
swer yes, for It does seem that one
would be paying for what he got by
buying by weight and not measure, or
article, says the Omaha Bee. Yet in
places where the plan has been in
vogue has 1t accomplished this? Cali.
fornia has always bought by weight
even potatoes, fruit-nearly every
thing In the edible line-and yet the
people of California have been caught
by the high-cost-ofllving wave along
with the rest Of us. In Cuba, It is
said, the plan works with good results,
It being applied even more thoroughly
there than in California. Eggs are
bought BY the pound in Cuba and the
American advocates of the plan pro.
pose that we buy eggs the same way.

CLOSE upon the heels Of the radical
~ shake.up in the ranks Of the
United States bank examiners, by
which 20 men were shifted to new
fields, Controller Of Currency Murray
announces that he will make a per-

upon this course of action the con
troller says:
'In almost every case Of a national

later give them clear skim milk, but
let them have what water they want

skim milk at once, but be careful and
not give them too much to commence
