PRESIDENTS MEXICAN POLICY

The newspapers of the country are
indulging in considerable specuia-
ton as TO whether the democrats
will win or lose in the fall elections.
Its a common thing in American
politics for a House of Representa-
tives unfayorable to the administra-
ton to be elected two years after a
presidential election. 1t seems like
bir. Wilson's conduct of home affairs
has been satisfactory to the people.
His foreign policy was also satisfac-
tory until he accepted mediation

ton OF the members of the high
brow class, who often forget to vote.
feels irritated and Inundated. After
putting up with over a year Of re-
peated indignation from the Next
cans, the administration suddenly
exploded into action over the COM
paratiyely Insignificant Tampico In
cident. Even this might have been
Strengthened out but for the in
sistence of the administration that
the flag be saluted. After allowing
the flag to be used as a foot wiper
and spit target all over Mexico for a
year, this sudden and fierce demand
that it be saluted by body Of men
who had shown no particular disre-
spect to it would have seemed funny,
If the results hadn't been so tragic.
The fleet was ordered to Vera Cruz,
and then, to keep a German ship
from landing arms for Huerta, that
port was seized after a fight that
cost a score of American lives and
nobody knows how many Mexican.
If the administration had gone right
on, it would have, had the solid sup
port OF the American people and i'm
pressed proper amount of respect
on the Mexicans. But it accepted
the interference of the South Am
orleans, who are just about such an
other bunch of greasers as the Mex.
fcans, and has made itself ridiculous
ever since. The flag hasn't been
saluted, and outside the range Of
our guns it is less respected than
ever. The German ship went to an
other port and unloaded its cargo in
|peace, while our powerful fleet was
tied up with diplomatic red tape.
An American soldier strayed from
his comrades and was wanton1y
.butchered, and nothing was done.
All this looks weak and ridiculous
to Americans, Mexicans and al the
rest Of the world, and il it Is kept up,
It will not be surprising II the Ann
erfcan people signify an 0verwheIm-
ing distaste for grapejuice diplomacy
at the polls in NOVEMBER.

Consumption of Cigar
cites.

Consumption of cigarettes in
this country is increasing rapid
ly. This is indicated not alone
by the figures of the Internal
Revenue department at WASH
ington, but by statistics supplied
by state boards of health through
out the country. Reports of the
latter indicate that in spite of
legislation prohibiting the sale
of cigarettes to minors, cOnsump-
ton is increasing among them
as we'll as among the women of
the country. In the city of st.
Louis consum Dtion of cigarettes
has increased 100 per cent,
within a year, the increase be-
ing largely due to sales to wom-
en-.
One of the most significant
facts disclosed by statistics is
the increase in consumption of
imported cigarettes, larg ely
Turkish cigarettes made of the
strongest brands of tobacco; and
of Cuban cigarettes some of
which are equally strong. Ac-
cording to tobacconists consump-
ton of these brands by women
is on the increase. even school
girls of 18 years old being large
consumers. According to the
Journal of the American Medi-
cal association, the effects of ex.
cessive cigarette smoking among
women are already to be detect
ed sufficiently to cause alarm.
All of which questions the eff

Fun at a Bacon Bat.

If you boys and girls have
never had a Bacon Bat" you
certainly have something to live
for. This kind of a party or
picnic is held out of doors in the
summer or early fall-and there
are plenty Of "eats"-mostly
bacon.
Some romantic woodland spot
is selected for the "Bat" and the
young folks meet at the given
place, then proceed to the ap-
pointed place via carriage, motor,
boat. or on foot, taking with
them baskets of "eats." Bacon
sliced as thin as paper, with fresh
laid eggs, pickles, rolls, or bread,
crackers, sweets, coffee Sarato-
ga chips and any other goodies
that the heart or stomach may
desire.
Arriving at the place selected,
a fire is built. The coffee is put
on to boil and the table" spread
under the trees. Then long slen.
der sticks are cut from maple or
oak trees and the sliced bacod
pierced with them stringing a
dozen or more pieces of bacon on
each stick. These pieces of bacon
are held over the fire until it
is all surled up and fried a crisp
golden brown color. The eggs
are fried or roasted, and served
with the bacon on paper plates.
The other goodies are served
whenever and however you wish
them.
If you are fortunate enough to
select a place where stones
abound, build a fire place with
the stores and make the fire in
it, then you will have less trouble
with the cooking. An easy way
to cook the bacon is in the corn
pepper held over the glowing
embers.

Light in the Home.

Many women solve the prob
lem of lighting dark rooms by |
having gas or electricity burning
all day. This is hard on the pock- |
etbook and is not absolutely nee
essary.
A dark room is not merely I'M
attractive, it is bad for the spirits.
If you are fortunate enough to
own a room where the only light |
you can get is close by the win !
dow, do not rest until you have
achieved an appearance of light.
Much can be done with white
paint, sunny yellow paper, thin
net curtains against the pane
and no shades-this lets in light
through the whole window space.
Do not furnish darkly. Picture
frames of dark woods are best
form just now, but not for a
dark room. Here should be used
white or bright gilt frames and
the subjects of the pictures
should be light and cheerful.
Mirrors are excellent in a dark
room to give an effect of light.
Watch every opportunity to buy
the old ones, as their mouldings
are in more artistic lines than
most of the modern designs. Re-
| gliding can be done at home with
Japanese gilt. 1t wears nicely
and costs less than half the price

Cincinnati. From Cincinnati he went
to the Boston Nationals in 1906, to the
New York Giants in 1908, back to the
Bostons in the latter part of 1911, and
from Boston to Chicago in 1913.
