Life Insurance Company. But

Mr.. Hunter cites the experience
OF seven American companies and
one Canadian company to show
that mortality lie from ten to

There Ia an extra mortality OF for.

81 am directed by my government

erence to %he Carrizal incident, that
the chief executive, through the Mex
ican War Department. gave orders to
Gen. Jacinto B. Trevino not to permit
American forces from Gen. Pershing's
column to advance further south. nor
to move either east or west from the
points where they are located, and
to oppose new incursions Of American
soldiers into Mexican territory. These
orders were brought by Gen. Trevino
to the attention Of Gen. Pershing,
who acknowledged the receipt Of the
communication relative thereto. On
the 22nd inst, as your excellency
knows, an American force moved
eastward quite far from its base, not
withstanding the above orders, and
was engaged by Mexican troops at
Carrizal, state OF chihuahua. As re-
suit OF the encounter several men on
both sides were killed and wounded
and seventeen American soldiers were
made prisoners
You are hereby instructed to hand
to the minister Of foreign relations
OF the de facto government the follow
ing:
1.-The government of the United
States can put no other construction
on the communication handed to the
secretary of state Of the United States
on June "a by Mr.. Arredondo under
instruction Of your government, than
that 1t is intended as formal av0wal
of deliberately hostile action against
forces Of the United States now In
Mexico, and Of the purpose to attack
them without provocation whenever
they move from their present position
in pursuance Of the object for which
they were sent there, notwithstand-
ing the fact that those objects not
only involve no unfriendly intention
towards the government and people
Of Mexico, but are. on the contrary.
intended only to assist that govern
ment in protecting itself and the terri
tory and people of the United States
against irresponsible and insurgent
bands of rebel marauders.
"I am instructed, therefore, by my
government, to demand the immediate
release Of the prisoners taken in the
encounter at Carrizal, together with
any property Of the United States
taken with them and to inform you
that the government Of the United
States expects an early statement from
your government as to the course Of
action 1t wishes the government Of
the United States to understand 1t has
determined upon and that 1t also ex-
poets that this statement be made
through the usual diplomatic channels
and not through subordinate military
commanders

VENTILATION IS
MOST IMPORTANT
Commissioner Dixon Makes
Public Some Thoughts About
Getting Pure Air

Pure air is necessary il efficient
work is to be done in office, factory or
school and yet the subject of ventila-
ton is one in which the average per-
son needs considerable instruction.
Too often pure air is sought by
means of open windows which pro-
duce drafts and the subject should be
carefully considered declares DR.. Sam
uel G.. Dixon. the State Commissioner
of Health. in an interview on ventil-
alton in winter time. DIR. Dixon has
been making observations on the sub
ject for years and gives the follow
ing result of his study:
THE question of proper ventilation
during the winter months is one which
it is quite difficult for many people
to solve.
1T is apparent to almost everybody
that the admission of pure air is nee
essary If efficient work is to be per-
formed in office and school and If re-
freshing sleep is desired by night.
The fresh air does not depend upon
the temperature and can be supplied
by a proper heating and ventilating
system.
THE opening of windows while it
ADMITS the freSh air, Often causes
drafts which are uncomfortable, not
to say injurious. Where a numebr of
people are occupied in a room it is Of
ten cause of subjecting one or two
to exposure il the windows are opened
to secure ventilation. This can be
avoided by an ample supply of warm
ed air.
Numerous devices, more or less ex-
pensive. have been placed on the mar
ket but are not always satisfactory.
| The most economical and at the same
| time probably the most efficient ven-
| tilating device is one made of glass
or wood eight or ten inches in height
and made the width of the sash. This
should be placed under the sash with
a slant from the bottom to the top
at an angle of 40 degrees. leaving an
opening at the top covered with
| cheese cloth.
"Ventilators of this sort are so sim
pie that they can be made at small
| cost anywhere and covering can be
readily replaced. They are suitable
! for office and school room, living
rooms and bedrooms. They permit
reasonable ventilation without too
great a loss of heat and prevent that
stufflness of atmosphere which is dan
gerous to health and destructive to to
real comfort during the winter
months. This device leaves an opening
between the upper and lower sash
through which the used air of the
room may escape.

Paderewski Loses Temper
at Polish Mass Meeting

Philadelphia, Dec. 1S.-Ignace Jan
Paderewski's temperament got the
better of him last night during his
address in the Metropolitan Opera
House, under the auspices of the Pol
ish Central Relief Committee of Phil
adelphia. The noted pianist and COM
poser stopped four times his plea for
Poland to scold prominent citizens
who were seated behind him on the
stage.
The first victim of Paderewski's an
ger was DR.. ]. Dordonsky, chairman
of the meeting, TO whom the virtuoso
complained because a draught annoy
ed him. Others on whom he vented
his displeasure were persons who were
walking in the rear of the auditorium
and those in the audience who were

Dynamite Bomb Damages
Police Station in Boston

Boston, Mass, Dec. 1S.-Three men
placed a bomb made up of about 20
sticks of dynamite in Police Station
No. s, occupied by the harbor police,
at 6:SS yesterday morning. When the
slow burning fuse reached the dyna-
mite an explosion which rocked and
damaged the station house and about
twenty-five buildings in North, Saluta-
ton and Commerce streets followed.
While no lives were lost and no one
even seriously injured, the property
damage will reach into the thousands.
Two Italians, giving New York ad-
dresses, have been held as suspects
though the police admit they have no
tangible evidence against them.

most weeds by preference; that the
addition of as small quantity as 2 per

or alfalfa meal will cause an appre-

25 per cent. of alfalfa in the mash will

of the value of poultry feeds.
Mr.. Whitman says in a department
bulletin: "I have known for years,
positively and definitely, that poultry
of all ages does not like alfalfa and
will refuse it if anything else green
can be had. Because certain farm and
poultry papers have continued to print
information that alfalfa was good
poultry feed and that poultry like it,
I have for the last two years made it
q point to make careful inquiries when
meeting expert and successful poultry
farmers as to what their experience
was. The replies are q unit in agree
ing with my observations, viz: that
poultry does not like alfalfa and will
not eat it IL anything else of like ma
ture can be Indicating for instance,
