Failure of Military

Efforts to relieve famine and suffer-
ing among the destitute civil popula-
ton of Mexico are hopeless. The physi-
cal conditions OF the railroads and lack
of co-operation Of the military author

This is the report of Brigadier Cen

border directing efforts at relief. He
Is thoroughly discouraged by the fall

INITIATE TIRES
FOR BEST WEAR
Bulletin Says Many are Ruined Be
cause Not Enough AIR
Pressure 10 Given.

"Seventy-flve percent Of all tires are
damaged by being run under-inflated.'
,is the assertion made In a new bulle.
| tin issued by the engineering extern
| sion department OF Iowa State college
The bulletin goes into the causes OF
tire break down and contains photo
graphs of many kinds OF tire abuse.
Since, during last year. motorists In
Iowa spent $12,500,000 for tires and
| only $6.O00.000 for oil and gasoline,
surely II Is time to awaken to the fact
OF the harmfulness of under-infation
of tires as the cause Of part OF this
expense.
The remedy for this is the purchase
and use Of pressure guage. 1t is
one Of the best investments that can
| be made about car. Instead OF try
ling to feel. kick or look at the outside
| OF the tire to determine the pressure,
Il use the gauge. It should register 20
pounds per square inch for each inch
| OF tire diameter.
The popular belief that tires should
carry less pressure in summer time
than in winter is entirely wrong. The
heat from the road. together with the
heat generated within the casing when
soft tends to destroy the tire more
RAPIDLY than It would II fully inflated.
The blowout OF tire on hot day,
when II Is properly inflated, results
not from an increase in pressure. but
generally frors damaged fber, which
has been caused by injury. or more
often by being run under-infated at
some earlier time.

BY writing to the engineering extern

What a World Famous Dieti.
tian Says Of
ManarOni
MaCarOni

If we Americans selected our food
from the standpoint of nutrition,
we would hear less OF the high cost
OF living. We find, especially among
families of very moderate incomes.
that meat is eaten to excess, the idea
being that an abundant meat diet Is
essential to maintain and repair the
system.
We can we'll afford to cut down ma
teriaily on meat and look elsewhere
for nutritious and much more, econ
omica1 foods. Take Faust Macaroni
for instance. OF macaroni. DR..
misunderstanding as one OF the
worlds famous dietitians-says: The
energy value of macaroni compared
with beef is In the ratio of 100 to
co.; and that "Macaronf is absorbed
almost in its entirety" which means
that 1t is practically all utilized to en-.
rich the blood and build tissue.
Faust Macaroni is a highly glutin-
o1Is food-muscIe and energy builder.
Can be prepared in many tempting
ways. Costs but 10c q large package.

Major hoffman Replies to Quincy
Mans inquiry Regarding Amount
Being Spent on Six Foot
Channel Work.
FAIR TREATMENT TO ALL
Some Shipper Had Idea Ono Section
Was Getting More Than Other,
According to Quincy
Man.

Because some Of the shippers along
the river thought some sections OF
the river we're receiving better treat
ment IN the matter OF six-foot chan
mel work, L. B. Boswell, freight com
missioner for the Quincy freight bu
reau. addressed letter to Major g.
g. Hoffman asking him to set them
straight as to the matter. The let
ter from Major hoffman proves con-
clusively that all sections are getting
fair treatment. The work from st.
Paul to Keokuk is to -be carried on
precisely the same as from Keokuk
to st. Louis.
The letter to Mr.. Boswell Is pub
lished in the Quincy Herald as fol.
lows:
War Department, United States En-
gneer Office. Rock Island. Ill. Sept.
%. 1915.-M.-. L. B. Boswell, Com
missioner, Quincy Freight Bureau.
Quincy, HI. Dear Sir: Reply to
your INQUIRY OF September 10 has
been delayed through my absence
from the Office.
There is no foundation for the state
ment that greater attention is gwen
to the river Improvement above
Quincy than below. Up to this year
expenditures on the 6-foot project are
as follows:
st. paul to Quincy (521 miles) So
52S per mile.
Quincy to Missouri river (137
miles) 1922 per mile.
This year proposed expenditures
are distributed as follows:
st. Paul to Quincy (521 miles) 81
278 per mile
Quincy to Missouri river (137
miles) $1.643 per mile.
It is probable that. as progress Is
made on the more easily advancing
work on improved sections above
Quincy, still larger proportion OF
the available funds will be spent IN
the lower division.
The work Just below Quincy, which
is now being undertaken by contract
and day labor forces assisted by a
suction dredge,-is for the purpose OF
eliminating the shoal crossing known
as Whitney's bar. With this com.
pleted, there will be an excellent
channel from Quincy to Hannibal and
thence to Saverton, the point where
systematic. improvement work is pro-
.ceeding down stream. Similarly the
crossings at Hop holloX, above Alton,
at Mason's Island, and at Dardenne
island. above Grafton, are being Inn
proved.
Very respectfully.
