Got His Moneys Worth.

When the ball players are down South in the spring the old boys do not take any chances with their pitching arms, letting the youngsters prove their energies instead. One day at Little Rock, where the Detroit team was playing an exhibition, old Red Donahue, who in his day was the sharpest tongued man in baseball, was tossing them over and letting the Lit tie Rock batters hit at will, to the great delight of the spectators.
 "Oh, Red, you're easy, easy, easy shrieked one very wild fan who was getting on Reds nerves.
 "Im not half as easy as you are, retorted Red. "You paid 90 cents to see me do it."-The American Boy

TYPHOID FOLLOWING TYPHOID
 VACCINATION

Considerable publicity has been giv- an the fact that several cases of ty- Sphoid fever ocurred last fall among Students of Delaware College, New hrk Del, shortly after they had re- teived protective inoculation against Typhoid fever. The Journal of the American Medical Association states that according to the president of Del hware College in 1915, 106 men and 22 women were inoculated. Three of &he young men subsequently, developed Typhoid fever, one after the first in- bculation, one after the second, and bne after the third. Illness in the first case occurred in Hess than ten Hays after the inoculation"; illness in the second case, "in less than ten days bfter the second inoeulation,' and in the other, almost immediately after the third inoculation." It is stated
 that all these young men came from
 localities in which there is or has been
 typhoid fever. From the facts as in
 iicated, it appears possible that the
 Infection may have been received Shortly before or during the inocu

Although the Germans are making bread out of all kinds of materials they will have to go long way before they invent an entirely new kind of bread. Beans, peas, maize, and other substances have been mixed with wheat or rye in the past. Mashed po- tatoes, mixed with wheat or maize flour, were used by people on the con- tinent years ago. Rice flour makes fine yellow bread, while the chestnut bread that forms the chief food of the Corsican mountineers is very agree able to the taste, and keeps fresh over a fortnight Bread has been made from acorns, especially by the peas ants of France. Noses, died and powdered, are still used for bread by Norwegians, and other substances that have been used without the addition of cereal flour include the roots of col chicum, iris and mandragora.

SCOTT D|SPELLED
MEXICAN FEARS
Now Understood Intervention is
Not Intended.
PROMISES MADE BY OBREGON
No Withdrawal OF American Troops
Until the Mexican Chief Demon.
strates His Ability To Cope
With the Situation.

| WaShtngt0n.-After Tuesdays meet
ing of the Cabinet general satisfaction
was expressed by high officials Of the
administration over the result Of
Major General Hugh L. Scott's semi
diplomatic mission to the border, as q
consequence of which the tension has
for the present, at least, been removed
from the Mexican situation and danger
of a clash between the military forces
Of the two governments averted.
The net result of General Scott's
conferences with General Alvaro Obre-
gon, the Carranza minister of war, is
as follows:
1. Major-General Scott is convinced
that the Carranza de facto government
has better and more satisfactory un-
derstanding of the motive and purpose
Of the United States government in
sending troops into Mexico and that
the latter's purpose is not aggression
or armed Intervention.
! 2. General Obregon has agreed to
send 10000 picked troops into the Big
Bend and Parral regions of Mexico to
stamp out bandits.
8. General Obregon has given or
ders to General Trevino to endeavor to
head off the bandits who raided the
Glenn Springs section of the Big Bend
country.
4. The United States troops will
continue to remain in Mexico until the
Caranza government demonstrates
that it has power to control the situa-
ton in those portions Of Northern Mex
leo, where the United States govern
ment has no troops.
5. General Obregon also gives as
surances that the Carranza forces will
not do certain things and among these
is the assurance that the de facto
forces will not attack the American
expeditionary force.
The verbal report made by General
Scott on his return to Washington, as
well as the information he brought
from Ell Paso in the shape of tran
script of the record of the conferences
was laid before President Wilson and
the Cabinet at their meeting. General
satisfaction was expressed during and
after the Cabinet meeting over the
general character of the results be-
lieved to have been achieved by Gen.
eral Scott. If the de facto forces make
bona fide effort to run down bandits,
develop in unmistakable manner their
ability to restore order, to eliminate
bandits and to prevent further incur
sions along the border the situation be-
tween both governments will be i'm
measurably relieved and the with
drawal of the American forces will be
hastened. But until definite results
have been achieved the American
forces will remain in Mexico and Gen.
eral Obregon learned that they will
not be withdrawn until the President
himself issues the orders, and that
these orders will not be issued until
this government is convinced that the
Carranza government has done what
General Obregon promises will be
done.

"A VICTORY FOR
BIG ARMY PLANS
House and Senate ConfereeS
Have Finally Agreed.
BETTER NATIONAL DEFENSE
The Sill Which Will Soon Go To the
President Provides For a Stand
ing Army OF 100000
Men.

Washington.-A standing army OF
206,000 men, capable of being expand
ed in emergency to 254,O0O, and back
ed by federalized national guard of
425, 900 as a reserve, finally was agreed
on by House and Senate conferees on
the Army bill. The agreement will be
reported to Congress early this week
and the measure, the first of the ad-
ministration preparedness bills, is ex-
pected to be before President Wilson
for his signature soon afterward.
Advocates of adequate national de-
tense regard the conference agreement
as a triumph. The compromise be-
tween the House and Senate measures
was effected after weeks of struggle
against an insistent demand from
House conferees for standing army
of only 10000 men. The Senate bill
provided for 25O,000.
The minimum enlisted strength
would be attained under the confer
ence agreement within the next five
years, and it is stipulated that at no
time shall the total be less than 160,-
coo.
The conference report also provides
for government nitrate manufacturing
plants to cost not exceeding S20.000,
000, for vocational education in the
regular army and for establishment of
military training camps for volunteer
citizens whose transportation, cloth
ing and subsistence expenses while in
training would be paid by the federal
