are made of rich pine, and would be
good fuel for flames, should fire break

So far as officials here are advised,

Of that leader have not detracted from
the high standard of Francisco de la
Barre, at present Minister to France,
attained when President Diaz was
forced to abdicate. Senior de 10 Barra
then was brought forward as the
leader who could placate all factions
pending a new election. Some diplo-

A DIET OF. ONIONS.

This much abused vegetable, which
annot conceal its presence because
# it's righteousness, Is one OF our
most valuable vegetables. Nature
provides for her children by sending
an abundance Of these little, tender
green stalks to us early in the spring,
and in the fall stocks our cellars with
them for the winter using. There is
no salad, except perhaps a fruit, that
Is not improved by the appetizing zest
of a bit of onion or onion juice.
When the appetite becomes keener
In the cold wintry days, care must be
taken not to over-eat. If onions are
served twice a week at least the sys-
tenn is in good tone to Withstand any
drain Of disease or extra work, for
they are valuable scavengers IN the
system.
A disordered system will result in a
cold, which is often directly caused
by o~ver-eating. We cannot expect the
department Of the interior to 60 on
overworking year in and year out
II we cut our food In half and multi
ply our exercise by two in the open
air, we would have less Of colds, grip
and pneumonia.
