Stunning 'prodigious quantities OF

tralians encamped in Egypt have eaten
all the chocolate to be had in Cairo.
Scientists contend the sugar has
much food value and is a good sub
stitute for alcohol. Chocolate. for ex-
ample. is harmlessly stimulating. Sol
diers have discovered what scientists
knew before, that sugar will relieve
fatigue quickly and give sense of
strength that is real without the sub
sequent depression experienced by
those who use spirits. Sugar and can
dies are found to be useful not only
to the physically tired. but to those
who suffer mental exhaustion.-West

CARRANzA EXPECTS
FULL RECOGNITION
CAPTURES CITY OF MEXICO
AFTER FIERCE FIGHT WITH
FORCE UNDER ZAPATA.
Orders Three Hundred Carloads Of
Food for Famine Sufferers, and is
Laying Plans for Recognition
by United States.

Wash1ngton.-Official dispatches to
the state department from Consul
John X. Silliman at Vera Cruz con-
firm the capture OF Mexico City by
the forces OF the Carranza govern
ment and announce that General
Gonzales will take in 300 carloads OF
food for the famine sufferers in that
city.
The next step is expected to be
that General Carranza will present
his claim to the state department for
recognition as the de facto power in
Mexico
Such a claim must be passed upon
by President Wilson personally, as he
has taken over entire direction of
Mexican matters.
The fighting on the outskirts OF the
city was described as severe, Ia
patistas having lost $500 men. four
pieces OF artillery and great guam
tity Of small arms and ammunition.
General Gonzales says that the re-
treating Zapatistas were pursued by
portion OF his army to cut off their
retreat.

SUPPLIES ALWAYS ON HAND
British Claim to Have Made Transport
System to the Front as Perfect ss
is Possible.

When 1t is mentioned that 1000 tons
Of gcOds-fOod and other necessities
are sent every day from the base de-
DOTS to the firing line of the British
army, some idea of the gigantic task
II the army service will be gathered.
This enormous weight of goods, says
Harold Begbie, comes almost entirely
from England, for we are not buying
in France even SO perishable a neces-
sity as milk. Vast stores are brought
from England and loaded into sheds
at the base depots.
All day by motor dory and railway
truck supplies for the troops are sent
out from these base depots TO stores
as near as possible to the firing lines.
And just as reserves are accumulated
In the docks, so reserves are accumu-
lated near the front, since an accident
to the railways might cut off the fight
ing soldiers supplies.
On one occasion there was a delay
on the railways of sc hours, but not
only did the soldier at the front gel
all his food and ammunition, but he
did not even have to draw on the re

Good roads are what we need.
MODEL ROAD EXHIBIT.

BY agreement with the central good
roads committee an exhibit was today
placed in the show window Of the
Edge Dry Goods Company, showing
two kinds of permanent road con-
struction, which is attracting a GOOD
deal Of attention. The exhibit was
furnished by the highway engineering
department of the A. & NJ. College,
and shows two kinds of ideal road
construction-macadam and concrete.
A little study of these samples in ap-
plication to our present roads
throughout the county makes one en-
vious and should make many friends
and converts for the bond issue now
pending before the people of Brazos
County. With system Of roads
made of permanent character as
outlined by the commissioners court
old Brazos would be at the top Of the
banner counties of the State and an
ideal place to live.
