An intelligent 7yearold girl working her way through
high school, observed by her employer this to be
sadly lacking in the ambition and energy which made her
services valuable the previous vacation.
Her employer investigated" her family in the modern
spirit and discovered that the father skilled mechanic had
been of work half the year. The family of six had meat
but week. and then mother buys more than 20
cents worth at tme! Formerly the mother had been able
to provide one comfortable meat meal day.
In Short the family had been deprived suddenly and al
most completely Of the protein energy builder found IN
meat The children had grown well diet which lacked
this important food element but two of them had failed in the
school examinations They had not passed an embarrass
ing incident hitherto unknown in the family history.
What happened to his individual family may easily hap
pen to the group of families called the nation.
The high prices of all provisions reache the danger point
when pushes up the meat cost and deprves half the fam
lilies Of the land of protein. the power builder.
Thus the price of meat becomes the thermometer which
guages the countrys welfare And rises to the
danger point means falling off in the highest qualities OF
the people.
That's the lesson in the that the cost of living has
again jumped

600 men, and navy of 81, O54 men with a naval

Some of the difference lies of course, in the
fact that our men are better fed better clothed,
better housed and better treated than the men of
other armies and navies, which is WELL but the
bulk of difference lies in the inefficency of our
method of handling funds

CUBAN TROOPS
BE REORGANKED
AND DISCIPLINED

HAVANA, March 13.-The long-stu-
died plan for the reorganization Of
the Cuban army, by which its efficiency
will be increased, is now going into
operation. The most important fea-
ture is the extinction, as separate
corps, of the famous Rural Guard. This
corps was organized as mounted con-
stabulary force by Colonel Hubert Slo-
cum of the United States army and
based on the fine body of men known
as the Guardia Civil of the days of the
Spanish domination.
The Rurales will be merged in the
cavalry of the regular army which will
be composed Of six full regiments.
armed and equipped on the model of
the United States cavalry, of which
five regiments will be assigned to SER
vice as rural constabulary and one to
regular military duty, to be stationed
in all probability at Havana.
The number of infantry regiments
will be reduced from two to one, to be
stationed in garrison at Camp Colom-
bia. The artillery will consist of one

the long -protracted negotiations for
the cession to the United States of
certain lands in the vicinity of Guam
tanamo Bay, which are supposed to be
essential to the effective fortiEcatfon
of the naval station.
For the moment there is lull in pol
itical activities. The Conservatives

regiment including batteries of field
and mountain guns and corps of
coast defense artillery which will also
be trained as infantry. The machine
gun force, which has hitherto been a
separate organization, will be divided
into squads to be attached to the var
ious cavalry and infantry units in ac-
cordance with modern practice. There
will also be general staff and the GUS
tomary staff corps.
The whole force will aggregate
somewhat more than ten thousand men
of all arms and the president for the
first time becomes the commander-in-
chief of the forces on land and sea.
Major-General Mendieta will be the i'm
mediate commander of the army and
under him Brigadier General Avalos,
for many years commander of the Ru-
raj Guard, and generally esteemed by
American officers who have served here
as the best soldier in Cuba. Plans are
also in contemplation for the formation
of a reserve force, and reorganization
of the navy
The placing of the national forces on
strong footing meets with the gem
eral approval of Cubans. Some fears
were entertained that in event of the
United States being drawn into the
European conflict Cuba might not be
able to hold aloof and that an attempt
might be made by some European
power to violate her neutrality. For
the same reason interest is reviving in
