GALVESTON, Texas, Feb. ia
private despatch received here iris
afternoon declares that Gustavo Ma
dero, brother Of the deposed presi-
dent Of Mexico, was executed In
Mexico City at the order OF General
Huerta.
Gustavo Madero was known as the
most hated man in Mexico" 1t
was charged that 1t was his influence
that led President Madero to refuse
to carry out his pledges to the people
as to the distribution OF lands and a
reform in the election system. Gus
tavo has been credited with being the
real financier of the Madero family.
The arrest Of Gustavo was one OF
the most dramatic incidents In the
sudden overturn Of the Madero re-
gime yesterday. Gustavo and sewers
al friends had been invitel to take
luncheon at the restaurant near the
palace where all the officers Of HUI
erta's army and the officials of the
Madero government had been dining
during the ten days fighting.
Gustavo was seated witr friends
chatting over events OF the day when
General Huerta and group Of on
GERS entered the cafe. The general

smiling and waved the general toward
a vacant chair

Huerta grimly, Il have come to put
You under arrest. The Madero govern

Gustavo sprang to his feet with an
exclamation Of anger. but seeing the
officers standing behind Huerta with
drawn swords and revolvers, shrug-
ged his shoulders, smiled and said:
At your service, General,

however. there is little doubt but that
he win be treated with more consid-
ieration than he received when first
imprisoned as the enemy Of Porferio
Diaz.
Madero first appeared as a candi-
date against Diaz on March 8, 1910.
He conducted an active campaign.
On June 5, while speaking from the
balcony of his home in Mexico City
he was arrested by federal troops on
charge of sedition. The troops
broke into the house. threw aside wo-
men members of the family who
sought to stop them or warn Madero
and dragged Madero to the Jail. Late
at night he was taken from the Jail,
placed aboard special train bound
for San Luis Potosi and lodged In
prison there.
to Texas and returned to Mexico Nc
vember 10 as revolutionary leader.
The revolution progressed rapidly
and May 5. 1911. Juarez was taken.
Diaz resigned and Madero was cleo
ted president Oct. 2.
During 1912 the new president put
down the Orozco revolt.
The first uprising headed by Felix
Diaz at Vera Cruz was then crushed
but this was the beginning Of the end.
AS result OF the second revolt led
by Diaz, Madero now is prisoner,
guarded by the troops he relied up
on to keep him In office.

How TO FLY Flag.

The following circular has been issued
from the Office of the State superintendent
of schools for the guidance OF all con-
cerned:
4. Under no circumstances, either in raising
or lowering flag, should it be allowed to
touch the ground.
II. Care should always be taken that the
union is at the top of the flag. In hanging a
flag horizontally from a building the union
should be ON the side away from the building.
Ill The national flag should be above the
State flag when both are displayed from the
same staff.
". When flag is displayed at half-staff
it should first be raised to the top Of the staff
and then lowered to the proper position
which is half way between the top and the
middle of the staff - literally at three-quar-
ters-staff.
v. A flag displayed at half-staff as mark
of respect should be returned to the top Of
the staff at the conclusion of the funeral SER
vices of the person thus honored.
vi. For Memorial day flags should be at
half-mast from sunrise until noon. At noon
they should be raised to the top Of the staff
and remain there until sunset.
VII. Flags should not be allowed to remain
flying at night.
VIII The union Of the national flag now
consists Of forty-eight stars, in six rows,
eight stars in each row.

TACT IN THE SICK ROOM.
Cheerfulness as Potent as Medicine
Serenity Essential.

Serenity Essential.
We cannot all lay claim to those qualities
that make . satisfactory professional
nurse, but we can de seiop along lines that
will make our presence in the sick room
Joy rather than an annoyance.
remember when was a little girl, at
the time OF my fathers last illness, that
grandmother came from the country with
every intention OF being of service, says a
writer in the Daily Mirror and American.
Part of her equipment was pair Of slip
pers that squeaked so loudly that the at
tending physicians had to tell the old
lady she must keep out of the room or get
noiseiess footwear.
With the best motives in the world abe
would beat up my fathers pillows Just as
be wss dozing of into titful sleep.
Equally solicitous, she would constantly
ask him what be wanted to eat.
In contrast to these methods, my
mothers gentle touch, soft step and I'M
obtrusiye attentions left their impression
on me even at that early age. Instead OF
annoying the patient by asking him what
he wanted to eat, she would appear from
time to time with something daintily
cooked and served, and many times could
coax the failing appetite without the
worriuent OF selection or decision.
Trained nurses are made, bat real
nurses are born. After all, the best nurse
is the one temporarily adapted to the
service. GentIeness is the prime factor.
All business should be left at the portals
of the sick room, and unmoved serenity is
also valuable asset.
This is perhaps the hardest of all quail
ties TO cultivate, particularly il the
patient In one near and dear.
Cheerfulness is as potent as medicine
when the sick one is nervous and filled
with alarm and grim forebodings.
1t often happens that the woman who
has never been in sick room shows her
self in an emergency better qualified as
nurse than those who have had previous
experience and training.
This fact was brought home forcibly
to me recently when dear friends fell
and fractured his skull. He WAS carried
to his residence, there being at that time
OAif the tNO AOGsSiuhiuc AZ uOIst-
Without a mnrmur they went about his
care, following the doctors orders inn
plicitly. They did not Shrek at the awful
sight Of blood besmeared stairs AM pill
lows, and one knelt for two hours by the
bedside holding the futtering hands that
in delirium endeavored to tear away the
bandagcs.
What those maids did was prompted by
their regard for the sufferer, not through
any professional knowledge OF what was
required.
1t resolves itself, therefore, into q creed
of kindness and consideration IL the best
service is to be rendered in the sick room.
Remember the few points / have given
you, for we never know at what moment
we may be called upon to act as nurse TO
friend or stranger.

A Washington dispatch says there is
much quiet comment at the capitol
because Senator MARITIME, of New Jer-
sey, has introduced a bill to increase
the salary of the collector of customs
at Portland, Maine. He says he did
this simply because he thought the
salary too small for so large customs
district. Incidentally it may be men
toned that Senator MARITIME is friend
of ex-senator Obadiah Gardner, slated
for the Portland berth.

Miss M. A. Greedy, secretary of the
sanitary committee of the Village
Improvement society, in commune
cation elsewhere in this issue, makes
an appeal for a cleaner Ellsworth.
From another source, in communal
cation headed "Arbor Day., similar
appeal is made, with the added sug-
gestion that Arbor day, next Friday,
be devoted to the cleaning up work.
This is matter that should need no
appeal to the househoiders and prop
'erty-owners of Ellsworth; hint
should be all that is necessary. There
are many pretty and well-kept homes
and grounds in Ellsworth; there are
other spots that mar the whole. If
each would do his or her part toward
a cleaner Ellsworth, these spots would
soon disappear, and the compliments
now paid to Ellsworth by summer
visitors would be multiplied many
fold.

Correspondence.
For a Cleaner Ellsworth.
ELLSWORTH, May 10, 1918.


To the Editor Of The Amerfcdn:
Through the columns OF your paper,
may the sanitary committee of the V. 1.
a. extend its usual spring greeting to the
citizens, and ask their cooperation in its
efforts for cleaner Ellsworth?
The same arrangement has been made
as in preceding years whereby card sent
to f. d. Smith, X. F. d. 3, will secure the
removal Of load of rubbish for the very
reasonable sum of forty cents.
Within a few days the v. l. A. barrels
have been placed on the streets, and the
sanitary committee urges that use be
made OF them as receptacles for waste
paper, fruit Feelings, etc. II would also
respectfully call attention to the fact that
the city ordinance against expectorating
on the sidewalks is still in force, although
notices TO that effect may not be posted.
A little thoughtfulness in thes matters
on the part on each man, woman and child
will do more to bring about the result we
all desire than will the expenditure of a
large sum of money for STRENGTHENING.
We realize that each year brings an in
creasing number of summer visitors to
Ellsworth. The admission OF automobiles
to Bar Harbor will insure a much
greater number of strangers than ever
before, passing through our streets and
county roads, and the Merchants sssocia-
tion tells us ''there is going to be some
thing doing in Ellsworth this summer;
so it is time to ''get ready for company.
We like 20 hear our visitors praise our
scenery, our pretty homes and weii-kept
grounds; now let us give each one reason
to say that Ellsworth is celebrating her
15oth anniversary by having the eieanest
streets and vacant lots in all New England.
There is no reason that this cannot be
done, and to that end the sanitary com
mittee not only asks the cooperation OF
the citizens in its plans, but invites cor
respondence, either private or through the
press, with any we'll wisher OF Ellsworth,
residing here or elsewhere, who will sug
gest any means of accomplishing that
end. NJ. A. GREEDY,
Chairman Sanitary Committee.

docks, in a communication this week
announces it's acceptance of the gem
erous offer of @. P. DeLaittre, of
Aitkin, Mimi, for cash prizes for boys
and girls in corn and potato growing
contests. The value of such a con-
test goes far deeper than the prizes to
be earned. Its greatest value is in
stimulating the young people on the
farm to larger interest in farming,
which will result from their individ-
ual efforts to raise the prize winning
crops.

To the Editor Of the american:
This is a plea for long pull, strong
pull, a pull all together for q thorough
cleaning OF all the streets of our city ON
next Friday.
The governor has appointed Friday,
May is, as Arbor day. In his proclama-
ton he ssys: 'As nature assumes new
life and beauty, so let our people assume
new life and hope with an enthusiasm
which comss with the proper observance
OF this day by such appropriate exercises
as seem fitting with the return OF spring"
Many OF the towns have planned sys-
tematic work, organizing the school
children and boy scouts for regular
cleaning.
While it is too late for us to do that,
let every citizen-man, woman, boy and
girl-iend a hand; let every individual
make an effort to clean up the back yard
as well as the front lawn, and the street in
front Of the house or store, on next
Friday, thus making our naturally
beautiful city more attractive to all
people. III.
