HUERTA NO LONGER THOUGHT
BY WILSON TO BE DANGEROUS

Washington, Sept. 1O.-President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan now con
slider that President Huerta is no long
er an important factor in the Mexican
situation. That he will no longer insist
on retaining the provisional presiden-
cy or upon appointing a successor to
himself is now assured
This information has been received
from Nelson 'Shaughnessy, charge
d'affairs in Mexico City Oral assur-
ances have been given him that Huer-
ia will not be a candidate for re-elec-
tion and that he will abide by the dec
laration in the last note sent to Senior
Gamboa, in which the administration
at Washington declared that if Huerta
resigned the provisional Presidency
only to make for himself a successor it
would be considered breach of faith
before the world. Moreover it is ap-
parent that Huerta has withdrawn his
demands on the United States for rec
ognition, and thus two important steps
in the presidents peace program have
been achieved.

Horse Committed Suicide.

According to the humane society OF
Spokane, a horse deliberately commit
ted suicide there the other day. The
animal was decrepit and had been de-
serted. Too weak to eat solid food, he
was tethered in front of a patch OF
clover. He sampled the clover, and
then, according to the report, delibeI
ately plunged headlong off a bluff
overlooking the river, few feet away,
and was later found dead.
NatuTalists have frequently related
the suicide of animals through grief
Probably the oldest one of all is that
told by Dr.. Ezekial Henderson, the
traveller OF a tigress whose cubs had
been taken from her by the agents of
one Of the large circus menageries OF
the United States. The party came
upon the tigers den while hunting in
Asia for exhibits. They took four cubs
and crossed a nearby river with them,
destroying the primitive tree trunk
bridge after they had reached the 9TH
er side
The t!gress returning and finding
her cubs gone bounded by scent down
to where the party had crossed the
stream. She knew OF the tree trunk,
having made use of it herself before.
When she saw it was gone she uttered
the most piercing and lamentable
howls and cries. The party with her
cubs came back 10 the river bank, at
tracted by the noise. When she saw
her cubs the tigress gave vent to an
unearthly shrek. Then, crouching.
rising and recrouching again several
/ times. she deliberately sprang from
the river bank. The river was five
times wider than she could have been
expected to spring, and leaping ami
mails are close calculators. She tell
tenty-five feet into the stream. She
came up once, turned toward the dis
tant shore, threw her head back and
sank for good. A clear case of sui
eide, the doctor called it.

Poisons in ;he Household.

II Is. perhaps. a good idea to bring
mp children TO have a wholesome fear
OF some useful but poisonous sub
stances commonly found about home
No one but persons OF a responsible
age should be allowed to touch or

too great cera in the use OF the above
or In cleaning or disposing OF their
containers so that children or animals
cannot possibly be poisoned or eN-
posed to other dangers. A common
cause of accidental poisoning is the
careless use or misplacing Of bottles.
resulting in the victim mistaking the
bottle OF poison for some less harm.
less drug or substance. To obviate
such mistakes. first, keep all poisons
and other chemicals plainly labeled
and entirely separate from medicines
and drugs to be use internally; sec
ond. never take anything internally
in the dark: third, devise ways TO
readily distinguish bottles and other
containers OF poisons from harmless
substances even In the dark. This may
be done by keeping carboiio acid, for
instance in a three -cornered or CORFU
gated bottle OF special shape. Have
the druggist put little copper sui
phate solution In the corrosive subli-
mate solution. so that the blue color
is a warning. even II the label is lost
or nlegible. The odor OF a number of
chemicals is usually sufficient 10 iden-
tify them. as carbolic acid. cyanides

line and chloride of lime tbleaching

tidotes TO every poison that is brought
into the house and TO see to 1t that

Parents Primarily to Blame

We need return TO some of the
salutary customs of days gone by. We
have. unQuestionably. made much pro
gress in many things. but some of the
things We do in the name OF progress
are reactionary to lower standards and
our boasted progress will avail us little
if it be at the expense OF morals.
There is. of course. one reassuring
feature in the present era of apparent
lack of morals and decency. 1t is that
We have gone so far in that direction

We have violated the proprieites to

that the public conscience, shocked by

sharp reaction which will awaken par

Banks for Farmers.

Senator owen announces that his
committee already has given much at.
tention TO the subject of agricultural
banking. and by the end of the year
will present bill TO establish banks
especially for farmers
The Glass-owen bill provides that
country banks may lend on farm mort
gage; but the loan must not exceed
half the value of the land or run for
more than nine months; and no bank
capital on land. That Is as far. GER
tainly, as a commercial bank can safe
ly go; yet nine months loan on land
does a farmer little good. for it takes
a farm about ten years to pay for IL
self
