Rigid Censorship Mystery.
The fresh activity of the Columbus
censor not clearly understood here.
Military observers conjectured. however.
that it might have connection with
further movements northward of units
of Gen. Pershings eXpeditionary force.
This belief was strengthened by the an
norlncement of Gen. Gabriel Gavira, Car
rama commander in Juarez, that he had
heen informed that large bodies of
American troops We're marching north
ward past CasaS Grandes.
For the last day or two, il has been
rurored here that the 10th Cavalry was

and il was believed possible that this
remnant constituted the troops refer

no contirmatory Information was OBJ
tainable. Army men profess to see in
the new movements an intent more far
reaching than the mere strengthening

that all the troops now scattered south

1t is pointed out. however. that no

recalled that Gen. Funston's entire cam
l,aign against Villa bandits has been
regulated in accordance with prudential
motives.
The chase of the bandits did not be-
gin until every step had been taken to
insure the safety of the eNpeditionary
force if complications should arise. In
moving substantial detachmentS of
cavalry into the Big Bend district, well
informed persons argue. the American
commander is providing greater safety
for the border residents and at the
same time preparing against any
eyentuality that may arise.

aPins and Naedles.n

After being for long time in con- strained attitude q peculiar numhness and pricking are often felt in the arm leg or foot. This is caused by some interruption to the circulation and can usually be removed by rubbing or ex- ercise. The reason of the sensation. which Is decidedly uncomfortable while 1t lasts. is that pressure for a certain length of time deadens the sensibility of q nerve. When this pressure Is sud denly removed. as straightening out the leg after sitting with 1t doubled underneath the body. sensibility grad ually returns to the nerve. md as each nerve fiber composing the trunk re gains its normal condition of sensibil- ity q pricking sensation is felt. and these successive prickings from the successive awakenings of the numer ous f3bers have not inaptly been called pins and needles"

SCIENCE OF NOSES.

 the Wearer's Character.

InC VSdT0S Sudt dSk0ss
 Nasography reveals the character, habits and inclinations of people by a simple inspection of noses. According to the system. the nose should be as long as possible. and this is q sign of merit. power and genius. Examples Napoleon and Caesar, both of whom had large noses. A straight nose de- netes q just. serious and energetic mind. the Roman nose propensity for adventure and wide nose with open nostrils is q mark of great sensuality A cleft nose shows benevolence. It was the nose of St. Vincent de Paul.
 The curved heshy nose is n mark of domination and cruelty. Catherine de Medici and Elizabeth of England had noses of this kind. The curved. thin nose. on the contrary. is mark of a brilliant mind, but vain and disposed to be ironical. It is the nose of dreamer. poet or critic. If the line of the nose is re-entrante-thati is. If the nose is turned up-it denotes that it's owner has weak mind. sometimes coarse. and generally playful. pleasant and frolicsome. A pale nose denotes egotism, envy. heartlessness. The quick. passionate. sanguine man has q strongly colored nose of uniform shade. London Tit-Bits.

HOKE SMITH WANTS
 SENATE ID ACT
Denounces British Interference with Commerce of Neutrals and
 Would Favor an Embargo.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. D.
 Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia. in 3 speech delivered on the floor of the
 mate, bitterly denounced :he inter- ference of the British gove rElent with the commerce of the neutral ma lions of the world. He Ie !ared that he notes sent by Secretary Ian sing protesting against tho seizure of American ships had been too fee ble and had been ignored by the Brit fish, or had been answered by new in- dignities and violations of interna- |tional law.
 Senator Smith urged the senate to act in bringing pressure upon Presi- dent Wilson to take steps which would compel the belligerent nations |of Europe to respect the right Of American ships to enter any port in the world in order that the com merce of this country might not suf- fer.
 The Georgia statesman believes a threat on the part of America to place an embargo on supplies and muni- tions of war from this country to En- gland would bring speedy termina- tion of the blockade maintained by the British fleet which has prevented American products being sent to the central European powers. He has an- nounced that he will introduce res olution placing an embargo on mu- nitionH to Europe and says he will press the matter until the admiristra- tion is forced to act He is reported to have the support cf the Democratic members in the senate whose constit- uencies are in the cotton growing states, which have suffered the loss of millions of dollars through the blockade.

BANANAS AS FOOD.
The Best Way to Serve Them is Baked
 When Full Ripe.

When Full Ripe.
 Children under three years of age do not chew their food thoroughly; they bolt it. For this reason they should not have bananas to eat uncOoked Bananas are nutritious, but they are an indigestible food unless they are well masticated. They are more easily digested when cooked than when eaten raw.
 The most digestible form of cooked banana is the baked one. This is pre- pared first by washing the fruit. then cutting small piece from each end of the bananas .as when preparing a sweet potato for baking). Place the bananas to be baked on a tin pie plate or similar dish in q hot oven. When they feel tender after pricking with q fork they are well baked. Dark brown or brown stained bananas (not the bright yellow ones) are best for eating either raw or baked.
 After the fruit Is baked 1t is placed on a platter and served as n meat It Is not. however. turned out of the skin When ready to eat it split the skin and banana lengthwise of the fruit; season it with salt. pepper and little butter
 In warm weather baked bananas may be used to take the place of meat at a meal.-Philadelphia Record.

WILD ALL THROUGH.
The American Bay Lynx Is an Animal
 That Can't Be Tanned.

The American Bay Lynx Is an Animal
 That Can't Be Famed.
 We call him the American wildcat, although he is of different species from the wildcat of Europe. His real name is bay lynx. and he is closely associated with that other animal ot America. the Canadian lynx. The Eu- ropeun wildcat is really the ancestor of the domestic cat. but you can't domesticate the bay lynx of America. He is wild all the way through. He gets his front name from his col. or. which is yellowish brown orsbay. His tail is short, which has given him anotller name-bobcat Unlike most cats. he is d good swimmer. and his hind feet are partly webbed.
 The bay lynx frequents mountain woodlands in the less settled portions of America. and sometimes he makes his presence dreaded by his raids on poultry. He is also persistent rob- Der of birds nests. and he will eat both birds and eggs. He will also de your squirrels, rabbits, wild turkeys and anything that isn't too big for him to kill.
 His appetite for animals has led peo' pie to fear him, although he will sel- dom attack human beings-only when he thinks he has to defend himself. He usually builds q nest of moss and leaves in hollow tree.-Philadelphia North American

Why Wet Land ls Cold.

c. c. Hopkins. soil expert. says that i've times as much heat is required to evapOrate water from the surface of a soil as would be needed to raise the temperature of the same amount of water from the freezing to the boiling point. says Farm and Preside. This explains why wet and poorly drained soils are cold.
 Tile drainage removes the excess of water. Then the heat of the sun Is able to make some headway in warm ing the soil. Hut if the soil is con tinually saturated with water the con. stant evaporation keeps the tempera ture down in spite of the suns warmth.
