Eamuel G. Blythe,
 Author and War Cor
 respondent, AZ Today

Samuel George Blythe, author of political novels, entertaining com mentatoF on American. public men and affairs war correspondent and, obe-trotter will be forty-seven years old today. MT. Blythe went tc Europe soon after war was declared and spent some time in England and France, writing articles on the hu- man side of the conflict He made no attempt to. go to the front nor to report news of battles or military matters, but he drew many i11uminat- ing pictures of the side-issues ofA the gigantic struggle. Since then MT. Blythe has visited Japan to get first hand information about the feeling in that country, and his deductions are very comforting to those citizens of the Pacific coast who have long expected to wake up some fine morn ing and find an armed and uniformed son of Nippon patrolling the street in front of his house. MT. Blythe has interviewed many prominent Japan ese statesnen and financiers in re gard to the possibility of war between their country and the United States, and has reached the conclusion that Nippon has already reached the limit in the burden of taxation, and could not finance a great war even if she wanted to.9 The correspondent of the Saturday Evening Post finds that ssthe chiefest concern of Japan is not to expand her territory, put 10 teX- pand her commerce; not to increase her martial. glory, but to increase her bank balances; not to fight but to acquire.''
 MT. Blythe ranks with Mir Box, MT. George Horace Lorimer and MT. Irwin S. Cobb as among the most Celebrated of MT. Curtis young men. He has been on the staff of the Sat urday Evening ost since 1907. Born | in Geneseo, N. T., May 19, 1868. he started his Journalistic career on the Buffalo papers, and at the age of 1 twenty-five was managing editor of 1 the Buffalo Express. He was after ward ed1tor-fn-chief of the Buffalo Courier and Enquirer, managing edi- tor Cosmopolitan magazine, and chief ! Washington correspondent of the New York world. Both MT. Blythe
 and his friend and colleague. Irwin s. I Cobb, gained their first literary fame while employed by the Pulitzer pa I pers.

CARRANZA TO MOVE CAPITAL TO PUEBLA,
 IS LATEST REPORT

Galveston, Tex, May 19.-A reliable statement of some of Carranza's mill itary plans, coming from Carranza himself was given out here to-day by an American who has just returned from Vera Cruz. Reports are ire quent in Vera, Cruz that General Car ranza intends soon to remove his cap ita1 to Puebla, then to retake Mexico City and there permanently establish the constitutiona1ist government.
 General Carranza frankly says he has no immediate intention of return ing to Mexico City, notwithstanding the effect the return might have upon other nations.
 This question was recently put to Carranza: ''The conclusion is drawn in some quarters that your being in Vera Cruz is an admission that you are not strong enough to hold the cap ital;4 that you sought that port as a means of personal safety. Is that true"
 tsI am not conducting my cam paign according to the views of for eigners,'' replied General Carranza ..The holding of Mexico City is only an empty honor. It has no value from a military standpoint. We could take it with little effort if we wanted to. This is shown by the fact that our army under Genueral Obregon is fighting northward of the the capital after having gone around it. When General Villa is crWhed in the north, Mexico City will faI into our hands without our fighting for it.''

CLUE NOTES.

I will gladly answer all inquiries for information on health subjects from readers of this publication if same are addressed to Home Health Club, 5039 Cottage Grove avenue. Chicago, III. Send full name and address with 4 cents postage.
 Dear Doctor: A little over a year ago had an operation for a cyst. It was a very bad operation and since then have had peritonitis at least that is what the doctors say it is. have pain in the abdomen and in my back, and it goes into my hips and down into my limbs. I pass a great deal of pus and blood through my bowels almost every day. I have pain in my head and am sick at my stomach. When the pains get severe I put cold applications across my bowels My for me, except tell me to keep quiet and give me pain tablets. am get ting worse all the time.
 Peritonitis is an inflammation of the membrane covering the inside of the abdomen, also of the stomach, iu- therein. Almost invariably it is sec ondary to inflammation of one of these organs and a large percentage of cases follow surgical operations upon the abdomen. Ulcers of the bowels from a dysentery or typhoid fever, ulcers of the stomach and in- f1ammation of the gall bladder may be the origin of the trouble Con unuous fever is present in peritonitis and this serves to distinguish it from collie with distenston, in which there is pain and no fever. Your physician is right in prescribing absolute rest but do not approve of opiates, al though this is perhaps more used in cases of this kind than in most other diseases. No cathartics should be aI- lowed. To relieve the distension o1 the abdomen a quart of warm water containing a tablespoonful of oil o1 1 turpentine may be injected at ire. quent intervals into the bowels Cloths dipped in turpentine ana | wrung out of hot water or cloth. dipped in ice water should be applied | to the abdomen with frrauen-
 changes until relief is obtained. Some l times the one and sometimes tht

TOD SLOAN

Many athletes famous in various
 branches of sport are now enrolled
 under the banners of Europe's war ring powers. Not the least of these
 celebrities of the world of sport is
 Tod Sloan. once internationally fa-
 nous as a jockey, who has been serv-
 ing in the hospital corps of the
 French army since the beginning of
 the war. When hosti1itieS commence ed the man who was once consi dered
 the greatest of all Jockeys was rum
 ming a cafe. in Paris. He inm ediately> resigned his job and offered his ser
 vices to the hospital corps, in which
 he has served as cha uneur, ambu-
 casiona1Iy. as cook. In his time Tod
 Sloan was a millionaire, but he has
 since gone through the bankruptcy
 courts, and now has little of his for
 mer fortune. He began his career
 as a jockey wearing the colors of
 Pittsburgh Phil, the celebrated turf man and plunger. at the Pacific coast
 courses He made a fair reputation lon the New Y York tracks, but it was in England that his fortunes reached their hi ghest tide He rode for the late Lord Beresford and in, a. short time became the favorite of the sporting nobility and the wealthy pa tstrons of the sport of kings. He was
 paid fabulous sums for riding. In 1900 he returned to New York and won the Futur1ty or that year riding William c. Whitneyss Ballyhoo Bey. Some years later, when. his star was
 beginning to decline, he got into trou- ble with the French racing authori-
 ties, and was advised not to apply l for a license. The British and Amerf- lean turf kings took similar action, and although Tod was not actually
 ruled off the turf, he was forced to
 quit the game in which he had won
 fame and fortune. A few years ago
 he tried to 'tcorne back as a, jockey, but he had lost all his. o1d-time form.

 Health in the Garden:-There are more than one way in which health may be found in the garden. First and most important is the value of the fresh, green vegetables, better than all the mineral dope and poisons ever, collected in the largest drug store, better by far because it is safe and pleasant to use. Next in inn portance is the value of the fresh, outdoor air and sunshine that one gets while making garden and then comes a. factor of which presume most people never take account; the elimination through the pores of sweat glands of poisonous waste mat ter that is brought about by vigorous work during the hot spring days.
 There is no way of getting this waste matter out of the system that is so effectual as by active exercise in the open air, exercise that will cause free and copious precipitation.
 The tired business man in the city knows the value of a good sweat so he goes to a turkish bath and lies in stirling hot room until the water comes from every pore of his skin and while he feels greatly benefited, especially after the thorough massage and the shower and a plunge in the swimming tank, which follows, as a matter of fact he has not received 1 one-haR the actual benefit he would have received by a discharge of vast 1y less water that is thrown out dur ing exercise. All these things can isbe accurately and scientifically proven by a simple chemical analysis 1 of the exudate
 Take a sample Of the water thrown out from the pores of the skin while i in the turkish bath and it will be found to contain less than half the impurities and waste or poisonous matter that will be found in the same 1 quantity of sweat that is thrown off take the open air as against the heat 1 ed air of the best ventilated bath l house in the world and the garden has ten to one the advantage.
 l There is an element in the free 1 outdoor air that cannot be had in- | doors. There is something that helps life to be stronger. freer and more worth while. Just as there is more life and health in the fresh, ripe fruit and the fresh, raw vegetables I than there is in the best cooked meal l that was ever served by 3, great chef | By all means have a garden and I pick the fresh, crisp vegetables jaaa l before you are ready to eat them
 The city man cannot buy such a l luxury. they must come direct from l the bountifuI hand of Mother Ma
