MR.. HuERTA DOESN'T UNDER
STAND, SECRETARY RRY-
AN SAYS.
WOULDN'T Be 50 COOL TOWARD LIND
Embassy Hastens to Explain His Mis-
sion-No Statement Made as to Why
Envoy Was Sent, So Mr.. Huerts
Must Be Calm.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Tension over
the Mexican situation was conspicuous
throughout today in official circles,
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan in an early conference, discuss
ed the message from Manuel Cara
Adalpe, actcing minister of foreign al
fairs, stating formally on behalf Of
President Huerta that unless John
Lind, personal representative of Presi-
dent Wilson, en- route to the Mexican
capital, bore credentials recognizing
the Huerta government, his presence
in Mexico would be undesirable.
Later the American embassy at Mex
leo City, through Nelson Onslaught
messy, chacrge d'affaires, was instruct
ed to explain to the acting minister
of foreign affairs that the condition
on which his statement must nave
been based, could not have come from
the state department here, as no Of
fetal declaration of Mr.. Lind's pur-
poses in visiting Mexico had been
made
Mr.. Bryan also issued the following
tatenent:
THE statement of the Mexican for
eign office was based on misrepre-
sensations for which this government
is not responsible. In sending Mr..
Lind as advisor to the embassy, the
president is entirely within his rights,
and this department will not assume
that his going will be regarded as un-
conditional when the character of his
mission is understood"
1t was also announced by Secretary
Bryan that Mr.. Lind would not arrive
at Vera Cruz before Saturday even
ing.
Administration officials take the po-
sition that objections to Mr.. Lind's
presence in Mexico are unfounded, as
the general public is not acquainted
with the proposals which he carried
nor the method by which he intended
to submit them.
On Mr.. Lind's arrival these propos-
ais will be made public in Mexico City
and Washington simultaneously, and
transmitted here to all the foreign gov
ernments represented in the United
States. Further emphasis was laid by
administration officials upon the point
that Mr. Lind as advisor to the Ameri-
can embassy, would occupy no unpre-
cedented positions that other embas-
sizes and legations had their counsel
lors and attaches.

DRoUTH MAKES BIG CORN LOSS
Feedral Report Shows Reduction Of
300 Million Bushels.

Washington, Aug. "a loss of 300,-
100000 bushels of corn, the nations
greatest farm crop, has resulted from
the great damage wrought by drought
and other conditions since July /, the
governments agricultural experts es-
timated today in their August crop re-
port. A total production of 2,672 ,000,-
900 bushels Of corn was predicted.
This is ASP million bushels less than
last years crop.
The general condition of corn was
placed at 1858 per cent OF a normal
compared with 500 on July l. Kansas
was hit hardest, the condition there
having been reduced from 81 per cent
in July to so per cent on August |.
Oklahoma came next with a condi-
ton of A against 81 in July. and
Nebraska reported 67 against 81 July
l These three states have almost 10
per cent of the total area planted to
corn this year.
bright spot in the monthly grain
report however was the preliminary
statistics showing production of 5ll,-
100000 bushels of winter wheat, This
is the greatest harvest of wheat ever
gathered in the United States, exceed
ing the record crop of 1902 by 10000
900 bushels. Today's figures exceed
ed by 2S,OOOOOO bushels the estimate
made by the department in July wheat,
too, was given an increased estimate
of production, it being fifteen million
bushels more than the July estimate.
the total being placed at 233,000000
bushels. With the bumper winter
wheat crop and a fairly good spring
wheat production the total harvest
of all wheat is estimated at 744.OO0,00O
bushels. A crop this size would place
the years production second only to
the record crop of 1901 vixen 74S,O0O,.
900 bushels were produced.

COCA COLA HABIT, A eAosr.

We have all heard Of ghosts. but none
Of US have ever seen one. It's the same
way with coca cola "fiends;" you can
hear about them but you might search
for them until doom's day and you
would never find one. Physicians who
have treated hundreds of thousands Of
drug-habit cases, including opium, NOR
phine, cocaine, alcohol, ETC., say that
they have never seen case where the
use of Coca-Cola has SO fastened itself
upon the individual as to constitute
habit In the true sense Of the word. AL
though millions of glasses of Coca Cola
are drunk every year, no Coca-Cola
fends have ever made themselves Wis
ible at the doors Of the sanitariums for
the treatment ofIdrug habits.
The Coca Cola habit is analogous to
the beefsteak habit and to the straw
berry habit and the ice cream habit
People drink Coca-Cola first because
they see it advertised and thereafter
because 1t tastes good and refreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink 1t
when they can get 1t and contentedly
10 without 1t when they can't get it.
II you had ever witnessed the rawlings
of real drug fiend when deprived Of
his drug, II you had ever observed the
agony he suffers, you would never
again be 80 unfair as to mention Coca
Cola in the same breath with the
"habit-forming" drugs,-Adv.

Made Daddy casp.

A certain small Chicago laddie is
quick-witted as initiative, and SO given
to considering himself as quite an
adult in comparison with his baby
brother, that he now and then talks
and acts in a manner that might by
the uncomprehending be judged i'm.
pertinent. Not long since at the fam.
lily table the boy attempted to relate
recent experience. His father, who
was talking, paid no attention, and
the childs anger got the better OF
his poiiteness. Raising his voice
shrilly and speaking with an absurdly
unconscious resemblance to his IA
theirs tone and manner under similar
circumstances, he demanded.

sIlohtly AduIterated.

Mandre de Fouquieres, the celebrat-
ed Partisan cotillon leader, talked to
a group of reporters, before his de-
parture for France, about the Ameri-
can woman.
1T is a mistake to suppose that
the question Of money plays an i'm
portant part in American marriages,
said NJ. de Fouquieres, "The love
match is not rare. Indeed, 1t is much
more common here than with US.

II she was marrying for pure love,

Z Opportunity for "shot."

President A. Lawrence Lowell Of
Harvard said at dinner in his honor
In Chicago:
EARLY marriages are the best. 1t
Is neither good for the man nor for
the community that he should wait
until he is twenty-eight years old be-
fore marrying"
President Lowell paused a moment
and then. smiling, he continued:
Another trouble about late mar
rlages' is that the mans habits-his
bad habits-are formed, and it's hard
to break him of them. You know,
perhaps, the story of the cigarette?
"a man of the old-fashloned manly
mdn' type-the soft, full-stomached
type that drinks too much, belongs
to too many lodges, and must be SUI
perior to woman in everything-this
man took umbrage over his wife's
cigarette, the one modest cigarette
that she took after dinner, though he.
Of course, smoked like a chimney all
day long. And 30 he said one even
ing:
"T believe you think more OF that
nasty, poisonous cigarette than you do

Special Hospitals Needed.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
estimates that there are over a mil
lion consumPtives in the United
States, of whom probably at least one,
third are unable to provide for them
selves the necessary treatment at
home. Most of these cases are a men.
ace to the health of their families and
associates, and should be in special
hospitals. At the present time how
ever, even If every case we're known
1t would not be possible to provide ac-
commodations for more than one in
eight or ten. The removal OF these
foci of infection demands more and
better hospital and sanatorium pro
