HUERTA TO PERMIT NO
ANTI-FOREIeN DEMONSTRATION

Mexico City, Feb. 4.-Students in the
capital today made plans to hold
public demonstration tomorrow against
the American government, but the
governor of the Federal district, act
ing under instructions from President
Huerta announced tonight that no an
ti-foreign demonstration would be per-
mitted.
The students purposed to take adj
vantage of the fact that tomorrow is
a national holiday and that a demon
stratien on such occasion would
draw thousands of idle men.
Satisfaction was expressed at the
American embassy tonight over the
prompt manner in which the authori-
ties denied the students permission to
hold a meeting.
Although the newspapers continue
to print bitter articles dealing with
the lifting of the embargo on arms by
President Wilson, the public generally
has yet displayed no active interest in
thu subject. Nothing has yet devel-
oped to indicate that President Huer-
ia intends to hand Charge D'Affaires
Shaughnessy his passports.
The management of the National
Railways today notified shippers that
the company would accept for trans
portation only perishable goods such
as are necessary for the maintenance
of the public. This action was taken
because Of the scarcity of fuel oil and
coal. President Huerta today cabled
to the newspapers in Buenos Ayres,
London, Paris and Madrid and to q
few in the United States that he had
an army of 135, 900 men and expected
soon to issue a decree increasing this
number by 10000

How to Cure a Ham.

Now, If Mr.. NJ. P. Cato did live some
1000 years and more ago, he had an ap-
petite not far different from that of any
20th-century statesman who got his
first training back on his fathers mar
row-acred farm. So it is that Cato felt
like writing down something about how
to cure hams A Virginia farmer has
translated what Cato has to say on this
subject in DE Agriculture This is in
cluded in Roman Farm Management
which is published by Macmillans. At
ter giving Cato's instructions, the trans
lator goes the great Roman one better
with some suggestions OF his own. Here
is what Cato says;
This is the way to cure Hams in jars
or tubs. When you have bought your
hams trim off the hooks. Take half
peck (semodus) of ground Roman salt
for each ham. Cover the bottom of the
jar or tub with salt and put in ham,
skin down. Cover the whole with salt
and put another ham on top, and cover
this in the same manner. Be careful that
meat does not touch meat So proceed,
and when you have packed all the hams
cover the top with salt so that no meat
can be seen, and smooth it out even.
When the hams have been in salt five
days take them out with the salt and
repack them, putting those which were
on top at the bottom. Cover them in the
same way with salt and press them
down.
After the 18th day remove the hams
finally, brush off the salt and hang them
for two days in the wind. On the third
day wipe them off clean with sponge
and rub them with olive oil. Then hang
them in smoke for two days, and on the
third day rub them with mixture OF
olive oil and vinegar.
"Then hang them in the meathouse,
and neither bats nor worms will touch
them
There Cato drops the ham, but ms
translator who is supposed to be Fair
fax Harrison. recently elected President
of the Southern Railway as successor
to the late w. w. Finley. takes it UP
again and carries it on to the table.
Hating by the way he has 1T cooked,
for he says: "a ham, however well
cured is of no use to civilized man until
it is cooked" And this is the way he
would have it cooked, the way they do
it in Virginia:
Soak overnight in cold water, having
first scrubbed the ham with small
brush to remove all the pepper, saltpeter,
&C., left from the curing process.
Put on to boil next morning in tepid
water, skin downward. letting it sim
mer on back of stove, never to boil hard
This takes about four hours COR until 1t
is done) when the ham is supposed to turn
over, skin upward, of it's own accord, as
it will If the boiler is large enough). Let
aside over another night in the water 1t
has boiled in.
1.-The following day skin and bake in
the oven. having covered the ham well
with brown sugar, basting at intervals
with cider. When it is well baked take 1t
out of the oven and baste another 10 to
20 minutes in the pan on top of the stove.
The sugar crust should be quite brown
and crisp when done"
Even if Cato was coarse and vigorous
old fighter, it's likely he would agree
with this Virginia farmer that Ito be
thoroughly appreciated ham should be
carved on the table by a pretty woman.
A thick slice of ham is crime against
good breeding. kansas City Times.

MEXICAN PAPER DENOUNCES
ACTION OF PRES. WILSON.

Mexico City. Feb. 4.-"President Will
son has dropped the false mask of the
Puritan and declared himself the
friend and protector of the rebels" is
the seven-column headline placed by
Ell Pals over it's account OF President
Wilson'S action in raising the embar-
go OH the expectation from the United
States to Mexico of arms and NUM-
tions of war.
The newspaper declares that Presi-
dent Wilson's motive, while alleged
to be based on high preteXts of neu-
trality, originates in reality in COM
mercial interests. It continues;
TT was known that European and
Japanese factories were turning out
war materials for the Mexican gov
ernment-similar establishments in the
United States were dissatisfied and
brought pressure to bear on the gov
ernment at Washington to put an end
to the embargo and not block their
business"
The article continues:
THE humanitarianism of President
Wilson has been put aside to make way
for mercantilism. The worthy Yankee
believes that everything in life should
be reduced to dollars and cents. He
could not bear to see pass without
profting such a propitious opportuni-
ty to give US what he surely believes
to be o decisive blow.
1T is the first step of the Yankee
toward our frontier. Afterwards will
come intervention. The phantom grows
more distinct beyond the Rio Grande. a"
El Pals then calls on the Mexican
people to have faith in the good Mex
leans and in the government Of General
Huerta, declaring:
The only thing that President Will
son will accomplish will be to place
in bold relief the figure of Vietorianc
Huerta who, due to American intrigue,
symboliZes today on this continent the
soul CT the Latin race"
FL Impartial under the headline
President Wilson declares himself
barefacedly and opprobriously the ac-
complice Of bandits" says it can hardly
credit the news that 1.-The Yankee gov
ernment" permits the passage of arms
to the Williams of Villa, who rob, burn
and assassinate or that the directing
regime of q cultured people under the
influence of a headstrong functionary
should become the accomplices of such
a horde of outlaws. 1t continues:
TT appears impossible that Presi-
dent Wilson can be a man devoid OF
conscience or shame. If the American
people approves the stupendous meas
ire of the White House. it will deserve
tie exercration of all honorable ma
tons" - 81
