profitable means Of earning money.
Most women want to dance nowadays

Warning against the use of kero-

given by the State board OF health
yesterday in connection with the re-
peated deaths from burning during
the last few weeks.
The board reports that its records
and current newspaper articles show
that many persons. trying TO kindla
fires during the recent cold spell, u.s.
ed kerosene oil for the purpose and
were seriously If not fatally, burned.
Regarding these as deaths from pre-
xeatahie accidents, the board cautions
all persons to refrain from the use
OF kerosene oil for this purpose.
1T is almost impossible" says the
warning Of the board given out yester-
day. ito use kerosene in kindilng 4

kindling the fire with fatal results.
Citizens should remember that kero-

and cannot be ignited safely In a close
room, If at all. We earnestly advise
the people never to use kerosene in

Mr.. F. Tennyson Nicely, the pub
Usher, traveller and lecturer, is in, the
city at the Jefferson hotel for few
days. prior to delivering his lecture
in this city entitled, The Truth
About Mexico"
The public interest is very high at
the present time in relation TO all
facts pertaining to Mexico. Mr.. Nee
~ is able TO speak with authority as
he has had considerable experience in
various enterprises in Mexico during
the past fifteen years. He illustrates
his lectures with more than two hun
dred hand colored views from actual
photographs showing conditions as
they exist and the manners and Gus
toms of the rich and poor in many
parts of this wonderful land
Congressman Henry D. Flood, Of
Virginia. chairman OF the committee
on foreign affairs. on behalf of his
committee, invited MIR. Nicely to deliv-
err his lecture and show his views at
the capitol In Washington last Sat-
urday morning. and after the lecture
had been delivered, the committee ex-
tended a vote of thanks to Mr.. Nicely
for the valuable and Interesting in
formation which he had impaired to
them While ,at Washington. Mr..
Nicely lectured twice at the Columbia
theater and twice at Polls theater
to appreciative audiences
Let Mexico Fight 1t Out.
Mr.. Nicely makes, no effort to ex-
cite the public in the direction OF In
PREVENTION; on the contrary, the key
note of his discussion OF the subject
is to let Mexico fight ii out He says
that the country Is rich enough, so
that at any time we may have de-
mands for just claims of any kind
that we shall find wealth enough
and that we are abundantly able to
collect the principal and interest
whenever we may elect to demand ii.
He says that the conditions make
the blood boil, but adds that Ii is far
better to let 1t boil than spill. and
that ''the nation should stand back
of~the president as unit that he may
solve the problem without firing a
single shot or shedding single crop
of American blood"
