WOULD RESENT
INTERVENTION
Head Of Villa zapata Government
Warns Uncle Sam.

Washington, June 10. - In q note
from Francisco Lagos Chazaro, presi-
dent OF the Villa-Zapata convention
government at Mexico City, the Wash
ington government is informed tnat
II President Wilson's recent statement
warning the Mexican factions to com.
pose their differences should signify
pressure or threat" the convention
ist government, "still harboring the
conscience "f its sacrifices, will main.
tain the y Of the Mexican peo-
pie"
The communication, transmitted by
the Brazilian minister at Mexico City,
states, however, that the convention
continues ito conjecture that the gen
eral idea of the government of the
United States is to help us in friend
ly way to bring to an end our fratri
cidal struggle, which would be for the
greatest good OF the country"
This note from the convention gov,
ernment was drafted after conferences
with the Narata leaders. The state
department previously had received n
note OF the same general character
from General villa which, while deny
ing the right of the United States to
intervene IN Mexico, said that the sug-
gestton for unitication of the fac
tions should be adopted. Proposals for
peace ere repeated in the ChaZaro
note, but as yet no word has been re-
ceived from General Carranza as to
his attitude.
Negotiations Just instituted by the
United States are likely to force cri
sis in Mexican affairs within the next
thirty days, The administration nas
practically abandoned hope that tho
warning factions will compose their
| differences, and has accordiLRly
framed policy TO meet this situation
II has instituted inquiries to deter
mine whether Carranza will eliminate
himself as a candidate for the provis
ional presidency and subscribe to q
program through which the United
States will cooperate with him to re
store order south of the Rio Grande
This program also is likely to resul,
in cooperation, to certain extent, OF
the part Of financial interests of tnS
United States.

TALLY cooked before being stored away.
Care should be taken, however, so see
that the recooking is thoroughly done.
Hot weather also calls for addition
al precautions on the part of the
housewife in regard to canned pro-
ducts. Once these have been opened
and exposed to the air, they spoil as
quickly--if not more quickly-than
fresh food The contents of can
should therefore be disposed Of with
out delay. In no event should they
be left in the can after it has been
opened, but should be used at once
unless the housekeeper wishes to "air''
the canned material which some be.
lieve is desirable. If this is done, the
can contents should be transferred to
clean earthen or glass dish and put
away for an hour or two in a cool
place where dust will not reach it.

Riley Devaul and Edward Huffman,
Jail for several weeks, charged with
turglarizing the Tiger jewelry store
in Mt. Vernon, were removed to Wes
terville, Franklin county, late Thurs
day afternoon and were placed in jail
there. They will be tried in Franklin
county for burglarizing the Jones
store at Westerville.
Prosecutor Bermont was in Colum-
bus on Tuesday and learned that
pal of Devaul and Huffman had given
out sworn statement in which he
blamed the two men for the Wester-
vile burglary, a burglary at Athens,
o., and at other places. The pal tod
the Columbus officers that Devaul hid
large amount Of jewelry in an ash
pile and upon investigating the Off
GERS found the jewelry in the par
ticular place described.
The Franklin county officials wers
very anxious to try Devaul and Huff
man In that county at the earliest
possible date, so Prosecutor Bermont
consented to the withdrawal of the
two prisoners from the Knox county
jail Late Thursday afternoon the
marshal of Westerville and another
officer arrived in the city and the two
prisoners were taken to Westerville
in the evening. They will be indict-
ed and have their trial at once.
Prosecutor Bermont states that De-
yaul and Huffman will be indicted by
the grand jury at the october term of
court for burglary and If for any rea-
son they should not be convicted in
Franklin county they will be brought
; back to Mt. Vernon aud tried here
On the other hand should the men be
convicted in Franklin county and sen
fenced to the penitentiary or reforma
tory, the indictment against them In
Knox county will still stand and they
will be tried here at the expiration OF
their terms IN prison.
The pal who "peached' on Devau|
and Huffman stated to Franklin
county officials that they were mixed
up with burglaries in Athens, Wester
Vile, Mt. Vernon and other cities. Az
ter investigating the Franklin county
officials have secured sufficient evl
dence to prefer FIVE different charges
against Deyaul and Huffman.
The case against Huffman and De
yaul will also be strengthened, 1t Ii
said, by the plea of guilty entered by
Dunn in Westerville this week. Dun
was arrested for burglarzing the llge
store, but was later turned over tt
the officials at Wesieryille and whel
his case came up for trial in Frank
lin county he entered a plea Of guilt,
and was sentenced to the reformator,

An indictment may be returne
against Dunn by the Knox count
grand jury. II this is done he will b

Next Thursday Mrs. F. B. Gary,
of Abbeville, will be in Seneca for
the purpose of viewing the site Of
fered by Mrs. NJ. W. Coleman for
the Girls Vocational School. A
number of club women and repre-
sentative citizens will lunch with
Mrs. Gary at the Oconee Inn and
afterwards accompany her to the
property offered for this school.
There is another offer which the
committee is considering, and it be-
hooves Seneca citizens to consider
the matter seriously, because a de-
cision will be shortly made, and it
is now or never with us. The local
value of this school cannot be esti-
mated in dollars. 1t is not the pur-
pose of the promoters to rival Win
throp. but to build a school where
poor girls can learn vocation.
Seneca is ideal for this school from
many standpoints. Climate. acces-
sibility, a splendid natural environ
ment, all go to make the situation
worth the consideration of our
citizens.

"The bread is dark in color, and
heavy. with thick and crisp crust.

at least so per cent more than a
loaf of wheat bread of the same di-
mensions. Four pounds of rye flour
one pound Of potato flour and 2
ounces of salt, mixed with "sour
dough" as substitute for yeast, will
produce nine pounds of war bread.

soldiers and prisoners one-half
pound a day is allowed each person.

down to the poorest person in the

allowance. War prisoners are al

ILL., The Duty of the Physician to
His Professional Brethren.


1st, In all cases, when one ply
sician is called to visit the patient OF
another, a consultation with the
physician first in attendance should
be proposed. and no circumstance
would justify a second physician in
commencing a course of medication,
but the positive request of the pa
tient or friends. :,
End. Consultations in difficult
and obscure cases are advisable,
and in every instance, the consulta-
ting physician should treat the ply
sician first in attendance, with pro-
found respect, and allow him the
privilege of giving the. directions
for the future management of the
case.
3rd. In all cases, the consulting
physician should decline paying a
second visit, unless at the particular
request of the physician first in at
tendance, the patient, or friends.
4th. When one physician is
called to visit the patient Of another
during the absence of the first, he
should, on no account, manifest q
disposition to continue his services
any longer than the services Of the
physician first in attendance can be
procured.
5th. In all cases of consultation,
should the consulting physician ar
rive first, nothing but the imminent
danger of the patient, would justify
him in entering on a course of medi-
cation; and even then, his course
should be palliative, if the circdm-
stances of the case would justify it.
9Th. 1t occasionally happens, that
large doses of medicine are given in
anomalous, as we'll as other, cases of
disease, which may have terminated
fatally; and under such circum-
stances, it is extremely common for
physicians, (who may know nothing
of the case but by report) to be
called on for their opinion of the
necessity of such doses of medicine,
or of the utility of such course of
treatment. No circumstance what
ever, would justify physician, un-
der such circumstances, to give an
opinion dishonorable to the attend
ing physician.
7th. Physicians should attend
upon the families of their profession
al brethren, gratuitously; never.
theless, where a large amount of
services is rendered, and a fee is
rendered, it shall not be considered
dishonorable to accept it.
9Th. Whenever physician calls
as a friend, to see the patient of
another, he should be extremely cau-
tious in giving an opinion.
9th. In all consultations, the
attending physician shall be chair:
man, and the junior physicians shall
give their opinions first, according
to their age.
10th. 1t is the duty of physi-
clans, in each section of the coun-
try, to agree upon certain rates Of
charges, and make them uniform,
as far as practicable; always re-
serving ample scope for the exercise
of charitable benevolenct.
Finally: physicians should adopt
the golden rule of doing unto others
as they would that others should Go
unto them," in all their intercourse
with their professional breclren.
