FACTS ABOUT
 MEXICO WELL WORTH KN0 WING


 It is interesting to note, as proof of the vitality of the Republic of Mex leo, that in spite of the disturbance snerce of the country has baen to no appreciable extent affected, and that S-s fact from the figures of Mexico s fiscal year ending June 30 1913 (for ene year 1e1z-1e13) it's foreign com merce was tihe largest in it's history
 Details. as just furnished by Direc- tor General Barrett of the Pan Amer fcan Union, can now be given to sub stantiate this statement For exam pie the entire foreign trade of Mexico. both exports and imports, amounted In 1s1z-L9I3 to $24S,0SS. .977 ,(Ncte that all figures are given in the Uni- ted States gold dollar), while in the corresponding period of the previous wear. it amounted to $240. .525.719. If the exports are considered separately it will be found that there is an en- couraEing incr ease in that movement, the total quantity exported being S1B0.zo2k208, against $14S, ,S94, 56 4, and that even compared with 1e10- 1911 gain was shown. In imports for 1sI2-1s13 Mexico; used $97, ,SS6.- 1ee. and this too was above the amount in the previous year. although the banner year. 191 1O-1911, was high CT by very small amount
 The interest in such figures can be continued by studying: the character of the goods imported to supply the needs of the ueople of Mexico. For example. in leather goods which in c1,iaes shoes and such manufactured articles. the country required almost $3. 500. GOO worth of goods: in textile fabrics of cotton. wool and silk, tn e big tumaa of close to SIS, 900, 900 was req rz1ed: of machines and tools there was an lrnportatfon of over $12,000s- oe8 Tn fNe matter of the source of tt1sse importaf1ons, it can Toe stated that as usual, the United Stfaes fur nished relatively the largest amount, it's goods sents to AEaxhco, over s 5000, OHo being rnorest than equal to the sum France and Spain in fact. than all Europe put together Argentina. in south America has fncreased it's trade with KeHico decidedly during the past year, sending to that country it's food rrotuc4s just as 1t has begun to send them to, the United States.
 In the matter Of exports, it is re- r1arkable that. according to .the ta-' bles from which the Pan American Union gives this information, indus try in general kept on with but small influence against it during the period ported fe1j from $24D0O. .00o to s1s,- coo. .0oo- On the other hand copper ex- ports increased to over SIS. s.0OO. 900, where it hRd been less than ' .000.- GOO the year before. Coffee and rub Der dropped. but ch1cle (ehewing gum inEredfent), hides. and henequin (hbre materially increased. Tobacco and vanilla increased in export quan- tity. but sugar and straw hats fell off. While these variatfons can be marked. the total exports advanced satisfactor- fly The countries taking, these pro- ducts of Mexico occupy the same rel- ative positions The United States stands easily first, for it received $116,- 01 ,o0O. nearly t11ree-quarters of the total exportatfon, but Great Britain Germany and France follow with quantities sufficient to preserve com forfab7e balance of trade.

 Dear Doctor:-Our sons baby, four teen months old, has always seemed to have good health until this spring. When she takes her daily maps and at night when she sleeps she sweats un- tily her clothing is soaking wet, and her sleeping quarters are not warm, but cool with plenty of air passing through. Her sweating causes her to have a cold all .le time and it has settled on her lungs. What causes her to sweat so, and what can we do for her? What is best to do for her lungs? She has always been a healthy baby until this spring. She does not eat much but takes her mothers milk heartily. Please let us know as soon as possible. We are anxious Our doctor does not do any good.

 The condition is more or less alarm ing and should inspire you to use ev- cry effort to combat it. The symptoms should not be suppressed but the cause removed or this child is liable to consumption. The Club book, Vol. 2, has a series of lectures on the home treatment, prevention and cure of con- sumption. It also contains, which is more important just now, a, simple home method of treatment for night sweats and that is what is troubling the baby at the present time, and un- less it is cured at once the excessive weakness which would be brought about would be very dangerous
 This treatment is as follows: Take one pint of vinegar, a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper and the same amount of common salt, boil it down one halk Strain through muslin and ap- ply while it is as hot as can be borne. For such a small child it will prob ably be well to take only half tho quantity of vinegar and use water for the other half. This should be ap- piled before the child is put to bed at be rubbed thoroughly with warm olive oil It should be rubbed thoroughly into the skin so as not to leave the ably be we'll for you to test the vim dilute it with water. Repeat in three days usually three or four appIica- .tions are sufficient
 This treatment will not iniure the child in any way, but will give tone and vitality to the terminating nerve f1aments, thus aid in overcoming a weakening difficulty. Do not try to overfeed the child because she Is bet ter off not to tempt her to eat too mucr; the mothers milk Is best for

 once heard of man who said that whenever he opened his mouth to say something he always put his foot in it.. A young lady present looked at the size of his foot and said she did not believe he could do 1t.
 My helpers in the Heme Health Club office say that I certainly sput my foot in puddle when I asked for 100 volunteers to demonstrate that the Home Health Club methods would really cure constipation when it was already demonstrated. Within three days after the article appeared the de1uge began. knew that constipa- ton was the real cause of so much sickness, but I-dfd not realize that so many were willing to admit the fact and really try to effect a. natural cure. I asked for 100 volunteers. but there will be no limit. I can see now that one or two ciphers must be added to that 100 figure, and all can say is you are welcome all of you; we are here for the purpose of doing some thing good for somebody all the time and if we make 1000 people happier and more comfortable by showing them how to be well and comfortable. we know by experience that we start an endless chain of helpfuIness, be- cause each one of you will pass it on'' according to our Home Health Club motto, and help another thous- and. It will be like the cheerful smile that caused so many other smiles un- til there were smiles and smiles and miles of smiles. and all had to 10 with this smile was to leave off let ter S, to make miles of smiles.
 This is as you know the multiplying season, all nature is striving to pro duce abundantly, and while we are striving to multiply our helpful efforts let's not forget that if the gardener let's one noxious weed live among his plants and it goes to seed, there will be thousands of weeds later on. So also if you let one fly live and deposit it's eggs in the barnyard manure piles, there will be more than a million Of it's descendants to contend with before the season is over. To destroy them is a comparatively easy process They breed almost exclusively in horse n1a- nure It takes ten days for them to mature.
 They must have both heat and moisture Manure will not heat if it is scattered thinly over the surface of the ground, neither will it hold the necessary moisture, therefore if 1t Is carted to the fields twice each week and scattered where. it is of great com mercial value the eggs and larva of flies will be nearly all destroyed.
 Isn't that a cheap and easy way. will you help? Also will you swat every fly you see this spring. don't let one escape Remember one killed now prevents the annoyance of a million before fall One fly may start an ep- idemic of typhoid fever in your com r1llnity that might carry off one of your loved ones It's easier to pre- vent than to cure and one swat .

Suspension Against
Mcfarland to Stick

MILWAUKEE, WIS, March 3.-The
suspension Of Packey Mcfarland from
Wisconsin sull stands to-day, because
he failed to appear before the Wiscon-
sin Boxing Commission here yesterday.
The news of the death of the father of
McFarland's fance did not stop the com
mission from taking the testimony of
witnesses on hand inasmuoh as no mes
sage had been received from Packey.
1t was reported that Packey had sent
a telegram. but Secretary Vaughan said
he had received no word from him. Per-
sons who saw the bout testified to the
effect that Mcfarland slammed" and
the commission passed the ruling that
MCtarland's suspension for one year
stood,
1t is not likely that Packey will press
his suit, as he is supposed to have signed
for a trip to Australia.

on the viaduct tonight
Staten has booked a ten-round
bout between Young Jackson. of In
dianapolis, and Gus Sharkey, the SOL
der, and these boys promise some
interesting milling. Both are light
heavyweights and have been working
for ten days for the bout. Although
neither has done much boxing around
here, Staten has promised the winner
a match with some good boy at his
next show, which should make them
battle hard for victory.
The second go of the evening will
be a ten round affair between Bat
Ting Jones and Walter Monahan.
The latter has been training Eddie
Hanlon for several of his fights and
looks to be tough ringman. Jones

The opening set-to will bring to-

TT is difficult for the average At
lanta golfer who has never spent
d winter in California. to realize
that well-kept golf courses are scat
tered all .up ana down the Pacific
Coast, and that Californians are
among the most enthusiastic Of golf
ers. 1t is true that very few of them
journey Eastward for the big events,
but within the confines of their own
State they enjoy numerous tourna-
ments, not only among themselves,
but with the Eastern visitors, who
avoid tho cold in the golden land of
flowers and fruit Almost every hotel
of considerable size in California pro-
Vldes either a golf course of its own
or has an arrangement with private
clubs whereby It's guests may enjoy
their favorite game.
ATriend who has spent a few weeks
recently on the Pacific Coast has just
called my attention to a pretty little
course near Santa Barbara.
CANT BARBARA is only one OF
- the many California towns be-
loved of tourists. Almost encirced
by mountains, its long shore line runs
nearly east and west, thus~ giving an
unusual southern exposure. This
double influence of sea and mountain
provides one of the most equable eli
mates in sthe world, where the real
meaning of heat and cold is practical
ly unknown.
About five miles from Santa Bar
bara is situated the golf course of lie
Potter Country Club. 1t can be east
ly reached by automobile bus, or hy
private conveyance over excellent
roads, The automobile bus runs ON
schedule time from Hotel Potter to
the club. \ pretty, Well equipped
clubhouse. with a charming approach
called Palm avenue, is delightfully."-
situated on an elevation above Lagu-
nd Blanca. This is a picturesque lit
tie sheet of fresh water, about 20
miles in extent
| y addition to the golf course, the
Potter Country Club boasts Of u
polo field and a race track, and sport
ing events on all these grounds are il
full view of the clubhouse windows
and verandas.

Much More Work to
 Be Done in Belgium,
 Says Jean Van Branden

London, November 2O.-(S:4O D. m. ) Notwithstanding the extensive relief work already done in Belgium, condi- tions there are becoming more serious. Jean Van Branden of the Belgium na- tional relief committee, who arrived here today from Brussels. said refugees were pouring into that city at the rate of 25,000 a day.
 This influx" he said, lis due to a lack of fuel as well as food. Brussels has plenty of coal. but interruption of transportation makes 1t impossible to carry 1t to remote villages Refugees also are flocking to Lege and other large towns.
 ''The people are dependent entirely on kerosene for heating and cooking and the supply of this fuel also Is be- coming scarce.
 ''The committee now is supplying 600, 900 meals daily in Brussels to 300. 900 persons. These meals consist oi potato soup. some rice. and . piece ol bread At first the allowance of bread was six ounces daily, but this has been reduced to three ounces. Even the rich l find 1t almost impossible to obtain bread | in Brussels and soon the whole popula-
 ton will form into vast bread line.
