Believe Rebels Divided

1T is believed that the constitutionalists
themselves are divided on the question
of seeking formal recognition by the Uni
ted States. A considerable portion of
them are said to incline to the view
ascribed to General Villa, that such rec

ent condition might encourage a move
ment for the separation OF the northern

of responsibility on the part of the rebel

these officers in turn are gradually ex-

restraints over their subordinates.
Some semblance of civil authority also
is beginning to appear in the northern
states, and is meeting with recognition at
the hands of the military leaders. Alto

a regularly organized civil government
is about to be evolved from the chaotic
conditions that have prevailed in that
section of Mexico for the past nine

Lemonade g oermieide.

Lemonade made with soda water seltzer or carbonic water is one of the most perfect germicides that can be taken into the body, according to the London Lancet.
 Tt has long been known that water charged with carbonic acid gas loses after awhile what meteorological ac- tivities it possessed" says that au- thoritative medical paper. ''This ob- Bervation has been confirmed, the evi- dence showing that the germicidal eff fleets are greater as the pressure of gas is increased. It would seem to fol- low that deep natural waters charged with carbonic acid gas must be sterile. at all events before they reach the sur face, and numerous examinations have shown that natural aerated waters ex- hibit a freedom from active germs. In the case of lemonade, however. there is present, besides carbonic acid gas, the citric acid of the lemon, and citric acid, even in weak solutions, is a germ de- stroyer."

4tI have always been convinced that New York takes the lead in most things" said the comedian, ''but,I was unaware until lately that the clothing saIesmen here are expert anatomists also.
 tI had occasion to visit downtown business office, where I heard a clerk telling the other employees of a suit of clothes which he bought and paid for, but which did not fit properly. He decided to return the suit and insist upon receiving another in place of it. Acting upon this decision, he left the office. Shortly afterward he reappear- ed with the same suit of clothes and a disgusted look.

Keen Pots and Pans In Sight.

The efficient kitchen should be so ar ranged that it is not necessary to hide all the pots and pans under doors and in cupboards away from sight. Did you ever visit a factory or large estab- Hshment where the boilers and the ca1drons and the belting and the thou sand tools were stuck away from sight when not in use? Your kitchen equip ment should be so attractive and good . that it looks well and doesn't need to be tucked away Every time pot is pushed into a shut closet we increase the dangers of uncleaniness, and it takes us twenty unnecessary motions to stoop to place it in low. cupboard and fish it out again. Hang up, place on shelves, put knives in strips of can vas, screw eyes on small pieces, use no closet doors if possible and let your kitchen be a real workshop.-Philadel- phia Ledger.

A Spendthrif4 Duke.

The sixth Duke of Devonshire, son of the "Gainsborough' duchess. came into a colossal fortune on attaining his majority. The whole of his property was in his own hands. The entail had been cut off, and his fathers death had interfered with the resettlement. ''There was, therefore, no curb on his extravaganza" says his biographer, "and so great were the inroads that his mode of, life made on his wealth that toward the end of his life he felt constrained to sell the Yorkshire estate of Londesborough.''

ttGouffre'' is term applied in Haiti to mysterious acoustic phenomena, probably of subterranean origin, be longing to the class of sounds known as Ffbrontidf'' or tfbrontides,'' reported from various parts of the world. They seem to be much more varied in char acter than the typical brontides of Italy or Belgium. Sometimes they resemble the boom of cannon, but again are de scrfbed as deep rum blings, howlings, a rushing sound, as of wind. a deafening crash, 'tas if a mountain of glass were shattered They have been known in Haiti from early times.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Young Girls and Makeup
BIZ BLANCHE BEACON

Several mothers have written to me asking me to say something concern ing this all-too-vita1 alter. They seem to take it for granted that I am going to preach they are right. I hereby give fair warning that have every intention in the world of preach &ng-and being as nasty and definite about it all as can. So, any young girl who has not a broad enough view of things in general to read this in the right spirit had better stop right now.
 No, I do not approve of young girls using makeup By young girls I mean girls of from the early teens to say twenty-five. The girl over twen- ty-five usually has a more balanced outlook and sees such things in their true worth
 You may argue that there is no moral wrong in applying the rouge to your lips and cheeks or the eyebrow pencil to your brows. Literally speak ing, the very act of so doing is not wrong. If your instincts are not puri- tanica1 enough to decry the very idea al presented in the abstract of youth resorting to artificia11y, think of this: that it has been scientifically proven that every time young girl uses the rouge-pot her own self-esteem and, therefore, Gin a certain degree) her moral standard is lowered. This may sound very vague and up in the air to you, little Miss Elsie, ~but you can prove it to yourself. Buy yourself little pot and when all is quiet, apply it. Then look in the mirror.
 Indeed, it is yourself you see, this uper-bright-eyed, over flushed, car nined-Iipped young woman. But if you look a moment longer you will see a queer, feverish, restless gleam in your eyes The beautiful blush will begin to spread, and you will feel yourself burning-actually burning.

 "Yes, he was," he said-''that is, I think he was. He was away from here when skipped out, and he didn't get back till '61 or therabouts''

Twas that deef idiot, Debby Beasley, Cy; that's who twas. Her name was Briggs afore she married Beas1ey, and she was hired help for Emily Thayer when Mary was born and until John died"
