Washington, May 2S.-President
Wilson has decided to serve notice
on all the warning factions in Mexi.
Co that conditions in that country
have become intolerable and that un.
less they, themselves compose the
situation, some other means may
have to be employed to accomplish
the result.
The first intimation of the presi.

came today in his appeal issued as

tunate people of many parts of Mexi.
co have been reduced to the verge
of starvation and urging contribu.

Easy Ways of Increasing Your Weight and Height

During the day, when a persons body is in a vertical position for many hours, the cartridges become some- what compressed, and so at bed time the person is not as tall as he was in the morning. As ne sleeps at night, however, these cartridges have a chance to get back to their normal size and shape, and so in the morn- ing a person is always taller than at night.
 If the person who wants to show an increase in height stays in bed for day or so he can certainly make himself slightly taller. He should go to be measured immediately on getting out of bed.
 It is also considered possible to in. crease the height permanently by a system of stretching exercises cover ing long period of time. Thus If a person has mechanical device to stretch his backbone for certain time every day for several months it is deemed possible in some cases to make the cartridges finally grow to fill the increased space between vertebrae.
 Of course there is also the method of injecting paraffin under the scalp to make it hump itself," or the

much braver method of allowing some one to strike on the very top of the head to cause a temporary bump, which will result in the meas uring-stick's registering at least a fraction of an inch in height.
 One of the most curious devices for increasing height which ever came before the notice of the au- thorities was a pair of false feet. These were discovered on an appli- cant for admission to the New York police force. They were perfectly made, and fitted on the regular" feet tightly They tapered up to the ankle, where they were joined to the natural skin with flaps. The point of juncture was concealed with cleverly applied skin-color liquid plaster.
 The false feet had full inch of false bottom in them, thus giv- ing the wearer full inch additional of height.
 They were betrayed only by a bit of the top coming loose from the ankle during examination. The de- jected wearer admitted that a num- Der of men had used similar devices, the inventor being paid a percentage of the first months salary if the trick was successful.

. FTENTIMES a candidate for e a Civil Service or other
 position is turned down be-

VA Civil Service or other
 position is turned down be- cause he is a fraction of an inch under height or pound or so under weight. There are some very simple methods of overcoming these dis abilities if they do not happen to be too great.
 For instance, if a candidate drinks just as much fater as he can hold just before taking the test, he can add several pounds to his weight. A pint of water weighs about a pound, so if he can drink three pints, three pounds added weight will be his.
 Of course, on a hot day the water soon evaporates as precipitation, so the drinking should take place as short time before the test as possi- ble. This would certainly seem to be legitimate way of increasing ones weight.
 The height proposition is little more difficult, but can be accom- n!ished with care. Of course, every one knows that the human backbone is made up of many little bones separated by layers of cartilage. Thsi cartilage is nothing but what is commonly called gristle, and is to a certain extent compressible.

Why Nations Are Fighting.

Why Nations Are Fighting
A Chinese boy in a mission school
wrote the following composition,
which was printed in the Central
China Post:
Now there is a great battle in
Europe. This began because the
prince of Austria went to Serbia
with his wife. One man of Serbia
killed them. Austria got angry and
so fight Serbia. Germany writes
letter to Austria. l will help you.
Russia write a letter to Austria, l
will help you. France did not want
to fight but got ready their soldiers
Germany write a letter to France.
you don't get ready or l will fight
you in ninee hours. Germany to
fight them. pass Belgium. Belgium
say, am a country, am not a
road. and Belgium write a letter to
England about Germany to them.
So England fight ior Belgium"
And this is about as plain as the
explanations of the diplomats as to
the cause of the war.
