PATHETIC GROUP OF

 Track Near EI Paso.

Fl Paso. Tex. Dec 3O.-Fifty men, women and children. soldiers and camp followers of the Mexican de facto army. were left huddled in a pathetic group beside the railroad track today when l.20O CarranZa soldiers en route from Sonora state to Juarez. detrained at Pelea, N M-. six miles from Fl Paso.

 The soldiers and camp followers left behind were said by physicians who witnessed the detraining. to be suffer ing from fever. Many are in a se- riOus condition. it Nas said. and those unable to continue with the troops were left to look after themselves as best they might
 With the sick were left several bodies of those who had succumbed en route either from wounds or from fever. These were carried across the international boundary by the sick and buried in shallow graves in the sand. One mother. herself desperately ili. was seen digging a little grave for the body of her baby on a mound be- side the railroad track

Lack of cooperation on the part of the prosecuting authorities in the matter of enforcing quarantine, inability to secure policemen to enforce quarantine lack of moral and financial support of the court of common coun- ell and lack of understanding between the health authorities and the medical Inspection committee of the school board in the matter of contagious dis eases.

EDUCATED ENGLISH WOMEN
 REGISTER FOR WAR WORK
Their Value Due to a Knowledge of
 the Higher Mathematics.

London, Dec. 30.-There are nearly 10000 highly educated women in Eng land who have registered for war work under the Federation of Univer- sity Women. Among the new posi- tions open to educated women that have been supplied by the Federation are the post of draughtsrunn rn an aeroplane factory, due to a knowledge of the higher mathematics; of expert accountant in an insurance office be- cause of cleverness at figures and su- pervisorships in munitIon factories given to trained social workers. A good part of the women registering have offered their spare time only, and it is hard to find jobs for those wanting to work portions of days or alternate days. The secretary of the Federation explains also that em- ployers whose male workers have en- listed have a tendency to undercut the old wage, and these women do not wish to shave the wages of the men

REALIZING MERITS
 OF THE scJA BEAN.
Of Chinese Production. Its Usefulness
 IS Universal.

London. Dec. 3O.-DiscUssion of the food blockade against Germany has served to bring attention to the merits of the sofa bean, to which ls given up more than g per cent. of the culti- vated area in Manchuria- Although the sofa is well known and highly re- garded in Germany and tht Scandi- navian countries. and Is now the sec ond on the list of China's exports, it has hitherto achieved small general reputation in the English-speakinE countries. and even the latest diCtion- aries dismiss 1t with the brief desCrip- ton: An Asiatic legIminous herb. Giycine Soja, the seeds of which are used 10 prepare sauce called soy"
 Although the Chinese have used the sofa bean extensively for at least two thousand years. the first important shipment 10 Europe was made in 1908 by a British firm. The Germans al- most immediately began to experiment with it and five years later were using the major part of an importation esti- mated at over S2. .OOO. 900 a year.
 The secret of the sofa bean is its universal usefulness. A British gov ernment report gives the following list of sofa products: Vegetable food Qike marrOwfat peas), soups. meat substi- tute. chocolate substitute. macaroni preparation, flour. artificial milk. cheese, coffee substitute, artificial | horn, biscuit and food for diabetic pa N cake for fodder. fertilizer, beancake.r % | The same report points out that the ] oil from the bean is used in the manu- | facture of the following articles: by namite and high explosives. soaps. Iin- | oleum, rubber substitute, margarine paints, varnishes. toilet powder, water | proof cloth, paper umbrellas and lan- | terms salad oil, lubricants, lamp oil | preservative for sardines, substitute | for lard"
 The pod of the sofa is about two
 inches in length and the plant has an | erect stem two or three feet high
 There are three principal varieties of | the bean-yellow or huangtOn, green ol | ellington. and black or wuton. The yellow contains more nutritive ingredi-
 ents than the others, and this is the l variety almost exclusively used for eN- port The quantity of oil extracted
 from the beans runs as high as 19 pei cent. of the total weight.
 Sweden uses large quantities of the
 bean cake as food for milch COWS; Denmark has a large pressing factory
 at Copenhagen: France has a factory
 built in Paris by a Chinese firm, ana
 South Africa has recently begun C
 grow the bean in competition to tn,
 Manchurian farmers. Germany in 19I.
 rescinded her former import duty anC
 installed reduction plants for the far,
 eastern vegetable product in all hel
 oil mills. importing the beans directly from Vladivostok by the shiplcad.

Ing Medicatcd Air Co the Infected
 Membrane.
 Nearly every one who has catarrh knows how foolish it Is to try and cure U w.tr sprays. lotions. and the like. Temporary relief may be given. but a cure seldom comes
 Until recently your physician would proh0bly have said the only way to help catarrh would be to have a change of climate; but now with a simple preparation called Hyomei you can carry health giving climate in your vest pocket and by breathing it a lew minutes four times a day success fully treat yourself
 The complete HyomeI outfit Is inex- pensive and consists of an inhaler that can bH carried In the vest pocket a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyo- mel The Inhaler lasts a lifetime, and n one bottle does not give permanent relief. an extra bottle Of Hyomei can be obtained at any time for a trihing sum IL Is more economical than all remedies advertised for the cure of ca tarrh, and is the only treatment known to us that follows nature in uer method OF treEting diseases Of the respiratory organs
 Ice & Osgood have sold a great many Hyomei outfits and the more they sell the more convinced they are that they are perfectly safe in EuaranteeinE to refuI'G the money if Hyomei does not relieve.

illuminated Sign for Baptist Church.

An electric sign, 16x3 feet in size and having on 1t the words Central Baptist Church, in oplex letters, 10 inches wide, was on Thursday placed above the main entrance to the Gen. tral Baptist church by Contractor F E. Beckwith.
 The illuminated sign idea is taken from the west and is an innovation in the east. While on a visit to his daughter Mrs. Henry B. Osgood, in Chicago, MT. Beckwith saw a similar sign above the entrance to the church which Mrs. Osgood attends. MT. Beck with recommended the erection of such a sign to the officials of the Central Baptist church; the idea was taken up and has materialized through volun- tary subscriptions by the attendants at the church. The sign, which was manufactured by a Buffalo concern, is in black enamel trimmed with alu- minum and will require about 20 Mazda lamps. The sign will be il- luminated when there are services in the church and on special occasions.
