BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE
DEEP BLUE SEA.

If General Huerta is guilty Of VIC
alton of the United States neutrality
laws, and should be convicted of the
crime, then what is before him in this
1ountryY Ii has been suggested that
he nominal bond Of $500 is not suf-
ucient to hold him, and that pro-
Dably he will forfeit the bond and
ross the Rio Grade. 1t is not to be
forgotten, however. that across the
Rio Grande there is a very large CON
tingent that hold Huerta guilty of the
assassination of President Madcro and
Vice President Zuarez. If he had made
the entry into that country at the
head of an army. with a hoard of mo-
ney TO scatter broadcast, he might have
made il successfully. But. going as a
fugitive from the United States laws.
with his revolutionary scheme nipped
in the bud and exposed TO his enemies,
he would hardly come into Mexico
with the eclat which he may have an
~ticipated. Indeed, it is not beyond pos
sibility that he might be captured and
held 10 answer the charge of murder.
Ii he should be convicted, then what
would General Huerta have TO face on
the other side of the Rio Grandeg
On the whole. il looks very much
like a toss-up for him as to whether
he should take chances on this side or
on the other side of the Rio Grande.
1t is not improbable that just about
now, recollections of the attractions Of
Barcelona may be recurring very en-
ticingly to the ex-dictator.

ANOTHER SURF TRAGEDY.

Two more lives were sacrificed
lnday night at a bathing resort on
e Texas coast. The victims were wO-
men. The cause of their drowning, a
'treacherous hole" in the beach.
This useless sacrifice of lives is enough
to cause a general feeling of Indigna-
tion. One cannot but ask by what right
do the keepers Of bathing resorts reck-
lessly, wantonly expose the lives Of
people by failure 10 exercise due pre-
cautions 10 prevent such tragedies If
there be no law requiring that the lives
of surf bathers be saTc-guarded by
those operating bathing resorts. then II
is high time the lack should be sup
piled.
The law should require a daily sur
vey of the bottom ove the beach which
is frequented by bathers, TO ascertain
whether any ''treacherous holes" may
have been washed in the beach by the
last tide. II should require also that
heavy ropes or cables be maintained
at such distance from the shore as may
be safe for bathers who cannot swim
TO venture. 1t should require also that
every bathing resort be provided with
guards whose business il shall be- 10
rescue unwary bathers who may ven
ture beyond their depth or be caught
by the undertow and unable 10 resist
its soft but deathlike grip upon the
feet.
There are no more delightful bath
ing beaches anywhere in the world than
nay be found AT many places along
he Texas coast. Nowhere are the
snowy-capped breakers found in great
r perfection. Indeed. it may be- said
with truth that few bathing places any
where really approach those Of our
coast. where IN may take a bath in
the surf almost any day of the year,
summer or winter.
Yet, every once in a while. we hear
of pleasure seekers losing their lives
in the embrace Of those beautiful. play
ful breakers. and such tragedies must
mar the attractions of the beach for
many. Texas lawmakers should do.
cir best 10 throw protection about
cry form of public amusement, and
ny amusement which involves the ele-
ment of death should guarded by the
most stringent regulations. There il
no more justly popular pastime than
that of surf bathing, but it should be
made as safe as possible for those who
indulge in it.

THE WEIR MITCHELL SYSTEM.

In one sense the Weir Mitchell treatment
for obesity i pleasing 10 the average fat
person-no exercise i necessary. But on

any fat person. The diet j. gradually cut
down. skimmed milk being gradually in
creased. until at the end of a week the pa
tient gets nothing but SKINNED milk and
encouragement Meanwhile massage and
Swedish movements are applied syStemati-
lcally. with the purpose q eaahlIng the err
%cuIation TO carry off the oXi .ized waste
material.
Under this regimen the patient may lose
half a pound or more per day. The heart
and kidneys are carefully watched
throughout.
In some eases n small quantity of beef
chicken or oyster soup j. allowed to re-
lieve the monotOny of the diet.
The patient j. kept in bed-with q
trained nurse-for about ten days or two
weeks. After that the liberty Of the room
is granted, but most Of the time must be
spent holding down a lounge.
THIS Is LIFE.
Massage j. performed once or twice =
Iday III first and the Swedish movements
ARE added later on.
After four to six weeks of this delight
fully lazy existence the diet l. gradually
enriched by the addition Of lean meats. fish.

must still be- vouch-afed the victim each
day.
