UP TO FINDING THE
 MAN. NO HEADWAY ON
 THAT JOB AT NIAGARA

NIAGARA FALLS, June l3.-The crux of the Mexican problem, the se- lection of a man for provisional president who will be acceptable to an factions in Mexico and to foreign gov ments generally, was reached in a conference between the mediatOrs and the American-Mexican delegates today For more than an hour. names Of various individuals were discussed, but on none of these was there the .semblance of an agreement
 Tomorrow there will be another con- ference on the same subject. The de- tails of the peace plan are practically set aside now for the greater task of finding the man of the hour-he who can reconcile the warning factions and maintain peace while a cOnstitu- tional election is being held.
 It can be stated on the highest au- thority that the American delegates at no time have suggested the name of Villa or Carranza and that they do not propose doing SO. They think that some one whom the revoluuonists will trust should be placed in power, but do not themselves favor a man who is SO violently partisan that he might be guided by his preiudices in the per ] formance of his functions
 The American delegates have not yet suggested all the names which | they think might be considered, but todays discussion has shown them that the Mexicans of prominence who have been active in the constitutional party will meet serious opposition from the Huerta delegates. There are
 no indications that an agreement will
 be reached on the provisional presi dent for many days at least.

An uncroxded Profession.

From the west comes the wall of the
unemployed workman. In eastern
centers, thousands of able bodied men
are constantly on the verge of starva-
tion. In our own towns and cities,
many intelligent young men and women
exc out bare living. The telephone
girl earns her pittance of about IL
cents an hour. Yet, round about US
everywhere, there is an excellent field
of employment overlooked by thousands
of intelligent boys, young men and
women; and this is the teaching pro-
fession. In order to train young Lou
isianans professionally for this business,
the State maintains a magnificent in
stitution. The State Normal School
at Natchitoches represents an invest
ment Of $500, 600 in land, buildings, and
equipment; it has an excellent faculty
of nearly fifty teachers: and in its sum-
mer school opening June /, 1914. it will

who are looking for good business to
engage in should send for the normal

State Board of Health Warns Dealers
in Ice Cream.

State Board of Health Warns Dealers
in Ice Cream.
To Manufacturers and Dealers IN Ice
Cream:
Your attention is called to Food
and Drug Regulation %, which
defines ice cream and fixes a
standard for butter fat in these
materials.
REGULATION g.
l. Ice cream is a frozen pro-
duct made from cream Tor cream,
milk and eggs and sugar, with
or without a natural fiavoring.
and may contain not to exceed
one per cent Of harmless filler,
and shall contain not less than 10
per cent of butter fat.
2. Fruit ice cream is a frozen
product made from cream Tor
cream, milk and eggs), sugar
and sound, clean, mature fruits,
may contain not to exceed one
per cent of harmless filler, and
shall contain not less than 8 per
cent of butter fat.
3. Nut ice cream is a frozen
product made from cream Tor
cream, milk and eggs), sugar
and sound, non-rancid nuts, may
contain not to exceed one per
cent of harmless filler, and shall
contain not less than 8 per cent
of butter fat.
These standards were fixed af-
ter ice creams from reputable
factories all over the State were
analysed, and represent the av-
erage of these analyses. 1t is
believed that these standards are
fair and that the enforcement of
Regulation % will not work a
harship on the manufacturer.
1t was found necessary to make
standards for ice creams as the
food value was constantly being
lowered by adulteration and use
of the cheapest materials, thus
encouraging low grade and insan-
itary manufacture.
We wish, therefore, to warn
manufacturers and dealers that
after April 1, 1914, a Statewide
campaign will begin to enforce
not only the chemical standards
but the sanitary standards of
production and handling of ice
creams.
The dealer can only secure pro-
lection by requiring the manufac-
turer to guarantee his goods to
conform to all requirements CT
