Suffered Eczema so Ye.r.-Now well

cure.

MEXICO HUNGRY; CROPS NOT
SOWN; THOUSANDS IDLE

MEXICO CITY.-Mexico is getting
hungry, and early in July it was evil
dent that this condition would become
much worse before relief could De
had. Failure to plant crops in thou
sands of fields formerly cultivated
the increasing number of idle men
due to the closing down of number
less industrial concerns, and the in
direct siege instituted against scores
Of cities have resulted in reducing to
q deplorable condition regions where
great majority of the population
asked only to be permitted to work.
Lack of money resulting from lack
Of work has had it's effect in increas-
ing the prices, but the most direct
cause has been the cutting of the rail-
roads in all parts of the country.
The fall Of Durango revealed that
the people of that town had been pay
ing fabulous sums for certain ordi-
nary commodities and that meat was
an unobtainable luxury. Torreon for
q time was in a situation almost as
bad. Reports from Chihuahua were
that one egg was bringing peso
and that 8 pesos were paid for
kilo, or two and two-fifth pounds Of
sugar.
Conditions in Ssltillo and Monterey
became serious Notwithstanding that
the government was able most Of the
time to keep open the line from Tam
pico.
In all towns the neighboring coun-
try is depended upon to supply a large
part of the food supply, but even
where railroads were kept open ma
rauGing bands Of rebels made it their
bushes sto prevent the entry of sup
plies from the neighboring truck
farms brought in on the backs of In
dians or in carts. The effect of these
tactics has been keenly felt in the
capital itself, where prices have more
than doubled in the last year.
Failure TO plant crops has not yet
had its full direct effect. The sea-
son for the maturing of most crops
has not come, but when it does, it is
inevitable that the country will find
itself forced TO buy abroad, and money
is scarce. In previous revolutions the
planting has not been so seriously him
dcred, but since this is the most wide
spread revolt the country has ever
seen there are hundreds Of thousands
Of implanted acres.
Keen expectations Of success were
created by the determined efforts to
reopened the railroad from the capital
to Laredo, but in spite of some success
the rebel movement continued to grow
and the government was forced to con-
ccde the seriousness of the situation
In the extreme south Of the states Of
Campeche and Tabasco, as well as in
the north, while the rebels operating
in Vera Cruz along the coast line be-
tween Vera Cruz and Tampico forced
the attention of the war department.
Rebels on whom Pascual Orozco last
year conferred the title Of commits
stoned officer, and whose title was
used with quotation marks in the
newspapers Of the capital, have come
into their own. They were taken into
the army with the same rank, but In =
