BAD WATER ARMYS
WORST FOE IN MEXICO

New York April 24.-Bad water will
be the army's worst foe in Mexico if
war is declared. according to Col. NJ.
L. Maus, chief surgeon of the first
army division, which has headquarters
on Governors island. The water sup
ply and sanitation system of Mexico.
he explained. were so far behind mod
ern methods that If an army should
be sent into Mexico City, an entirely
new system would have to be pro-
vided. He estimated that millions Of
dollars would be expended by the
United States for sanitation and that
from a health standpoint American
occupation of Mexico would be a good
thing for that country.
To ensure pure drinking water, Col
Maus said that filters would be a part
of every army department equipment
and if the water proved too impure
for alteration 1t would have to be
boiled. He did not express concern
because of disease among the soldiers
except from typhus in Mexico City.
With the sanitation system that the
army would provide in the capital
city even typhus. he declared could
be conquered

MENT, SHIPS STEAMED SEA.
WARD DOWN RIVER, sALUTING
MOSTLY BRITISH CRUISER.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Tampico. Mex, April 24.-There was
great apprehension here today shortly
after an order had been issued advis-
ing all the American residents in Tam
pfco and vicinity to leave the country
Immediately the scout cruiser Chester
cleared for action and steamed sea-
ward down the river.
The gunboat Dolphin also cleared for
action and followed her. Both vessels
noisily saluted the British cruiser Her
mtone as they passed. A little later
the Des Moines steamed away with
her gun crews standing ready at the
guns.
The disappearance of the protecting
ships caused establishment and dismay
among the American residents who
were unable to believe they had been
deliberately abandoned on what ap-
peared to be the eve of hostilities in
the midst of a population known to
cherish feelings Of bitter hatred
against Americans.

But Mrs. Table Grey did not take

dren We're made slick and clean every

hind" Mrs. Table brought back the
mice, bnt the kittens did not want
them. After a while, however. they
had to eat what their mother had pre-
pared. For a long time Mrs. Table
Grey was kept busy hunting mice for
her children, and at last she said: you
are old enough to hunt for yourselves;
come with me and l will teach you.
The kittens followed slowly after

far when Black said: II am tired, and
here is a nice warm spot. I am going

looked at her kittens as they stretched
out in the warm sun, and she realized
now that 1t was too late; that her in

made them far from a blessing to her,
and off h trotted to hunt mice for
her lazy children. She passed Mrs.

beautiful han all the other roses In

Then another told her that she had

and her cheeks more rosy. Another
said n had made a rich man happier
by giving him more gold, and so each
one old of helping some one to be
happier than he was. AT last a little
fairy kneit before her queen and said:
oh! queen, ! fear you will think I

helped only one very poor little boy.
He Is Jack, the cripple, who lives in

warm suit Of clothe.,. into which I had
changed his old ragged clothes, and
wondering who had done so much for
him. I hope you Will not think my
time wholly wasted good queen, and /

The queen touched her with her
wand and said: Rise, good fairy; you
have done the best work Of all, for you
gave help where it was needed" Then
h turned to the other fairies and
said:
You did not give happiness to NOR
tails, for the roses are so beautiful they
DO not need to be more 30, and the
pretty girl had charms enough without
our help. And the rich man did not
need more gold to make him happy;
o should have taught him to spend
his money to help others and make
them happy; that would have made the
rich man happier in the end and given
him a pleasure that he knows not of.
You must all follow the example of
your sister who helped the cripple
Jack" she said, "if you wish to give
real happiness. Go into the alleys and
seek out the wretched; they are needy
