RECOGNITION

1t is settled that the United States
will not recognize the Huerta govern
ment until conditions are settled there
This means that whoever holds the
reins of government in that country
must produce some show of title to it
under some established laws of the Mex
lean republic. An election held in due
legal form will ensure to the victor the
recognition of this government. We are
not concerned as to the name of the vic
tor or as to his personal sentiments on
Mexican politics. He should have at
least color of authority for his claim.
All the rest is for the people of that
country to determine.
Perhaps it may be asked why we are
prepared to recognize the Chinese re
public, since it too is the result of Il 20
litical upheaval, upsctting a government
established for centuries.
The answer is easy. The war in which
the Chinese republic came into being
ended in a victory for the republican
party, and the victory ended in a treaty
in which there was a surrender by the
l~mperiafists, and IA distinct understand
ing by which they recognized the rebels
as a treaty making power.
SO far as the world can see the result
ing government has been able to main
tain order quite as well as their prcde
cessors were. The people Of Chin2 have
a government which gives protection to
foreigners, and TO lives and property
among the Chinese. 1t would in fact be
hard to find in all history a newly cS-
tablished republic better entitled to
recognition by all other nations. The
United States will recognize any leader
in Mexico who can prove he is able to
maintain order in Mexico and has some
color of right TO govern derived from the
constitution Of that country. The whole
question will De settled, as far as the
United States are concerned. when an
election duly held in conformity to the
laws of the n5t.Hn shall name a citizen
of MeXicO-Hrlrta or another-as pres

CURING TUBERCULOSIS AS AN

ing the same average earnings to all pX-
patients Of the sanatorium living in
1911 and 1912. DR.. Barnes concludes that
their income in these two years was

times the cost of maintenance of the san

CHICKAMAUGA'S DEATH LIST.

AN American battle that surpassed
in its ratio of carnage the blOodicst con-
flicts in history outside of this country
ought to be better understood by the
American people. S~harpsburg, or An
tietam, | believe, had a larger proportion
of killed and wounded than any other
single days battle of our war; that
means larger than any in the worlds
wars. Chickamauga, however. in its
two days of heavy fighting brought the
ratio of losses to the high water mark.
Judged by percentage in killed and
wounded, Chickamauga nearly doubled
the ~sanguinary records of MarcngO and
Austerlitz; was two and a half times
heavier than sustained by the Duke of
Marlborough at Malplaquet; more than
double that suffered by the armies under
Henry of Navarro in the terrific Slaugh-
ter ut COutras; nearly three times as
heavy as the percentage of loss at Sol
ferinO and Magenta; five times greater
than that of Napoleon at Wagram, and
about ten times as heavy as that of
Marshal Sake at bloody Raucoux. Or if
we take the average percentage Of loss
in a number Of the worlds great battles
Waterloo, Wagram. Nalmy, Magenta.
SOiferninO. Zurich and LOdi-we shall
find by comparison that Chickamauga's
record of blood surpassed them nearly
three for Onc.-Gen. John b. Gordon in
"Reminiscences of the Civil War, page 1919.
The reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans association will be held at
Chattanooga May 27-29. Chickamauga's
bloody field is reached from that city by
trolley line III forty minutes at a cost of
fifteen cents. No better opportunity
could be made possible for intelligent
study of this field. as Gen. Gordon. now
dead and gone, advises. The battlefield
has been preserved by the government.
and bcautiiied by the expenditure of
many millions Of dollars, and the battle
lines are indicated by historical tablets
and markers. The old Confederate sol
dicrs who fought on this field will be
valuable teachers in May TO the yOunge
generation in the study of Chickamauga.

SEE THAT THE FRUIT IS RIPE
Bananas and Apples Especially Are
Unfit to Eat II They Have Least
Suspicion Of Greenness.

A fact OF special interest at this
time of year is that some of the com.
monest fruits contain starch instead
Of sugar until they have fully ripened.
Raw starch is very indigestible. which
explains the frequent necessity for
"green-apple medicine"
Most conspicuous in respect to their
starch content are bananas and APP
pies. Reports from the National Bu-
reaa of Chemistry show that Baldwin
apples examined contained more than
4 per cent. of starch while green, less
than one-quarter of l per cent. when
ripe, and none at all when overripe.
The percentage of sugar, on the other
hand, had increased more than four
times, showing that all the starch had
been converted into sugar during the
ripening process. Bananas show SINH
lar changes as they ripen.
These facts teach us that only thor
oughly ripe fruits are most suitable
for eating raw; that scarcely ripened
apples and bananas. like gooseberriss
and currants, are best adapted to cook
ing; and that all persons who eat raw
fruits should chew them thoroughly
on account Of the starch they are liza
BILE to contain.

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving OFF Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day aft

and greater endurance by using Post
um instead OF coffee. An Ills. Woman
writes:
II had drank coffee for about twenty
years. and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart / was nervous
and extremely Respondent; had little
mental or physical strength left, had
kidney trouble and constipation.
THE first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
"Then / became less Respondent, and
the desire to be active again showed
proof Of renewed physical and mental
strength.
81 am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. ] formerly
did mental work and had to give it up
on account of coffee. but since using
Postum am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"
