OLD LYONS MILL
SLOWLY PASSING

Long Deserted.

Solitary and aloof. as II proud OF its
former glory and historic associations,
and now disdaining its more ornate but
also more modern neighbors, stands an
/ old mill by the side Of Rock Creek, a
/ short. distance south Of the MassachU-
sets avenue bridge.
To those who are not Students Of
Washington's varied history the place
might be passed by with scarcely more
than a passing glance, and perhaps the
usual uluttered exclamation, y wonder

Two Battles,

Porfirio Diaz gained national promi-
hence anG won his spurs at the battle
of Puebla, where the Liberal forces
made gallant but Intellectual stand
against the French. who had invaded
Mexico for the purpose Of erecting a
throne for Macmillan. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Mexican forces
were defeated. their defense against
superior numbers was so gallant that
the anniversary of the battle of the
9Th OF May became national holiday
in Mexico.
A brusque American once asked
Diaz. why do you Mexicans celebrate
a defeat when you know that the
French took Puebla?"
President Diaz. with twinkle in his
eye. replied. perhaps we have imi-
tated the Americans even to the extent
of celebrating our defeats. for | have
been told that the British defeated the
colonists at Bunker Hill, and yet you
built monument to commemorate the
event."

food. we are unable to determine, but
it is reasonable to suppose that gastric
disturbances are greatly aggravated If
not induced by so doing. In every
community there are those who are
enthusiasts on the subject of pure air
and wholesome food but whose
mouths are in such a neglected condi-
ton that the air which passes
through them is almost as polluted as
that of a crowded tenement. and every
mouthful of food swallowed carries
with it to the stomach millions of bac-
terra. The almost entire futility of
sterilizing articles of diet for patients
