American Members of Inter-
national Commission Discuss
Mexican Mining DEGREES.
NOT READY TO CONSIDER
PROTOCOL FOR BORDER
Investigation of the Effect of Car
rama Government Laws on
American Investors.

NEW LONDON Conn. September IL
American members of the international
commission meeting here were occupied
today with the Mexican conferees in in
vestigating the cause and effect of Mexi-
can mining decrees, and in comforting
with Maj. Gen. Bliss as to the situation
on the border. There is little prospect
that the Joint commission will return
to the formulation of border protocol
until the American members have
reached tentative agreement among
themselves as TO the wisest course to
pursue. They will then present their
ideas to their Mexican associates for
general discussion
1t was indicated today that questions Of
real estate and other taxes in Mexico as
they affect American property holders viii
be looked into by the joint commission
when its examination of the mining taxes
has been completed.
Land Taxes Called Conhscatory.
In the case of land taxes under Car
ranza DEGREES. a punitive damage is as
sessed against lands lying idle which
American interests have complained to
the State Department amounted to con-
f1scation of their holdings. AS in the case
Of mining taxes. Carranza officials have
asserted that their purpose was to foster
small operators and to compel the aban-
donment Of large land holdings for specu-
lative purposes only.
In explaining the DEGREES complained of.
the Mexican commissioners pointed out,
the statement asserted. that one of the
main purposes which the Carranza gov
ernment had in view was to prevent spec
ulatfve and unproductive monopolization
Of mining lands by individuals and COM
panfes. The Carranza government, it was
said. virtually has reversed the system in
operation during the Diaz regime.
Rates Under Diaz Plan.
Under the Diaz plan the rate of taxa
ton on mining claims diminished in
direct ratio to the number of claims,
whereas under the Carranza plan the
purpose is to encourage the stalking of
a relatively small number of claims
which will be actually operated, and
to discourage the holding of large
tracts of mining land simply for specu-
latfve purposes.
Another series of complaints had to
do with the attempt Of the Carranza
government to compel merchants and
corporations to accept paper currency
at rate tar in excess Of its current
value.
the attention OF the Mexican commits
sioners was directed to instances in
which military commanders had,
through DEGREES, threatened with death
any persons who refused to accept pa
per currency at its par value, and for
similar offense had also threatened
merchants with the confiscation of their
property.
Mexican Commissioners Explain.
The Mexican commissioners pointed
out that in so vast a country it was
humanity impossible to guard against
all possible abuses, but they laid en-
phasis on the fact that while such ex-
treme DEGREES had been Issued by sub
ordinate military commanders, the na-
tional government has constantly urged
moderation on the state governors. and
that they had no record of a single in
stance in which any of these extreme

LONDON, September l4.-Athens' dis
patches say that the former minister of
justice. NJ. pimitracopulos. after reach
ing an understanding with the king,
will put his views before the entente
ministers and let their attitude deter
mine whether he will accept the pre-
miership.
NJ Dimitracopuios. the dispatches ada.
is of the opinion that Greece's depar-
ture from neutrality is the only remedy
for the present International situation.
He recalls the Greco-Turkish war OF
1897, when Premier Dalyannis incurred
all risks TO re-establish unity in the ma
ton, divided then as now.
1t is reported that NJ. Draeoumis, for
merly minister at Petrograd. will be
foreign minister in the Dimitracopulos
cabinet.
Asks Time for Consultation.
NJ. Dimitracopulos asked King Con-
stantine to allow him forty eight hours
in which to consult his friends before
deciding as to whether he will under
take the formation of a new cabinet.
NJ. Dimitracopulos is known to have
declared that his acceptance of the
premiership will only be made on the
basis that he is given full power to
control the national policy. He will
insist that his hands must be free TO
take whatever steps the present crisis
calls for even to entry of Greece into
the war.
Zaimis Refuses 70 Remain.
ATHENS. Greece. Thursday. Septem-
Der 14.-Every EFFORT to persuade Al
exander zaimis. the aged premier. to
remain in office was fruitless. His pride
was wounded by the appearance Of the
allied feet of piraeus at the very
moment when negotiations had begun
for the entry Of Greece into the war.
The arrest of Austrians and Germans
in Athens by French and British agents
and the invasion OF the French legation
by ruffians who fired shots there, taken
in conjunction with the continual in
ternal discord in the face Of . great
national crisis. completely discouraged
the entire cabinet. The result was not
only to precipitate tho retirement of
the Zaimis ministry. but to bring to q
standstill and possibly even to END all

OUR HEALTH TALK
Ten Commandments for wise Eating

Ten Commandments for Wise Eating
Test these upon your yourself. No
two people are exactly alike. No
general rule is hard and fast. Care
fully experiment and see how much
fat. protein, and carbohydrate you re-
quire. Stick to that.
2. Don't eat more than you need
tc keep you in efficiency. The super
flous Is never without danger. Most
diseases come from clogging the sys-
tenn with waste.
3. Eat slowly. Don't bolt, no
matter how hungry. Chew thor
|oughly.
4. Keep your teeth sound. Cleanse
them religiously three times a day.
Visit you dentist twice a year,
whether you need it or not. Never
keep a sore TOOTH If it can't be fixed
have it out; you'd as well be steadily
swallowing poison.
5. Drink plenty of water between
meals. AS pure as you can get it.
8. Meats have no food values that
cannot be obtained in other foods in
a form better adapted for human con-
sumption.
z. Take no alcoholic beverage.
And if you don't overload your stom-
ach, and don't eat flesh, you will not
want it.
8. Remember that the feelings
have much to do with digestion.
Keep sweet. Don't eat when worried
or angry or grouchy. Contentment
is good sauce. Laughter is better.
8. Eat no free sugar, such as can
dy, syrup, table sugar, etc. Take only
in such combinations as nature sup
plies.f
10. Foods are necessary not only
to build up but to cleanse the body.
Hence eat cleansing foods literally.
Such as celery, lettuce, spinach, beet
greens. asparagus radishes, string
beans and other vegetables.-Dr.
Frank Crane.

in winter by chopping up the Ber,
