MEXICAN FORCES
MOVE ON VILLA
Bandit, with Two Hundred
followers, Threat
ems Mapami.

Chihuahua City, Mexico, July 26.-
Villa, with about thirty men, is in the
Canon de las Huertas, near FL Paso de
Penoles, Durango, according to dis
patches from General Ramos, sent by
courier to Mapami and telegraphed TO
General Trevino to-day. CaliSto Con-
treras, his chief lieutenant, whose death
recently was reported from Mexico City,
deserted Immediately after the Parrai
fight, and made his way southeast with
one half Of the men who attacked that
city, according to the dispatches.
It was reported that the Villa fol-
lowers are scattered through the foot
hills of the Sierras in small bands.
Alexandra was said to be in the Canon
de las Piedras, with twenty survivors
of the eighty with whom he partici-
pated in the Parral fight. Nlcos Hen
andez, who attempted TO reach Hacienda
Hermanas, in an effort 70 locate buried
ammunition, was met and repulsed by
the government troops days march
from his objective, the dispatches said.
General Matias Ramos, commanding
the Carranza troops in the campaign,
has determined according to reports,
that Villa planned to reconcentrate
his scattered command at San Pedro
de Gale and TO attack Mapami. For
this purpose one hundred men, under
the leader Padilla, struck off north and
south of that point, that additional
government troops might not be
brought south while Villa marched
on Mapam. The de fscto troops, how
ever, were too strong and he was
obliged 20 turn back.
Colonel SuareZ, commander at Ma
pami, reported, supplementing General
Ramoss dispatches. that he is well
fortified and prepared to cope with the
Villa forces. should they succeed in
reaching the town, even without the
aid of General Ramos's forces. march
ing in that direction.
The dispatches also said the Willis
tas now in the field Of that section
number less than 200, and according TO
prisoners, their clothing has been torn
to shreds by the hard marches. They
are practically without shoes, food and
ammunition.
Other reports received from General
Cavazos said his troops chased the
band of Martin Lopez, which recently
attacked a troop train few miles
west OF here.

MANY FIRMS QUIT
BLACKLIST FIGHT
Majority Under Ban Re-
fuse to Join New
Association.

Despite the proclaimed purpose of
making united fight against the Brit
ish blacklist and the formation of the
Association to Resist British Domination
of American Commerce, the majority
of the firms, individuals and corpora
tions on the published blacklist will
not be parties to the movement to
force action by the United States gov
ernment.
This became known yesterday, when
it developed that only score of the
eighty-one on the published list had
accepted invitations and requests to
join in the movement. Only one of
the three New York Stock Exchange
houses on the list, and but a few Of
the larger and more important houses
affected, joined. These refusals, it is
stated, are in the main based on the
grounds that the proposed movement
is political propaganda rather than
business

to.
Members of firms which have re-

COOKING UTENSILS OF GLASS
Baking Dishes Made Of New Material
Have Been Found Very Satisfac-
tory and Almost UnbreakabIe.

A new material now on the. market
for cooking utensils is glass. A great
variety of cooking dishes are made,
but the baking dishes or casserOles.
would probably appeal most to the
hOme-keeper. No silver or copper con-
tainer is required for Il casserole
when put on the table and hence they
are comparatively inexpensive.
A great variety Of dishes have been
cooked In the glass casserole with
splendid results. The material is
cooked uniformly throughout, the dish,
due to the conductivity of glass and
the results have been just as gOO0
with a souffle as with a meat pie.
The oven can be better regulated
since one can see the material cook
ing in the DISH. e. one can see
whether 1t is cooking too fast or too
slow.
The utensils are attractive and
seem to be almost unbreakable.
The casserole has proved to be the
most satisfactory baking dish we
have ever used.-Magdalene Hahn,

The Eating -ef Vegetables Without
/ Mastieatien 10 Productive Of
Gastric Rebeilion-

Indigestion Is often attributed to
hasty eating. and people are re-
proved and rightly so. for bolting their
food; but it is interesting to observe
that while the bolting Of meat is al
ways severely censored, one never
hears any blame attached to those who
swallow fruit by the mouthful, and de-
YOUR uncooked vegetables without any
attempt at mastication. Nevertheless.
it is the hasty swallower of vegetable
fiber who is really the inciter of gas
tric rebellion. Vegetables are. at all
times, very imperfectly digested by the
stomach, and require their tough
fibers to be thoroughly broken up by
the teeth If they are to be dissolved
even In the bowel.
There is. a well-known saying which
AYERS that digestion waits upon appe-
tite, and there is no doubt that of all
the helps to digestion keen desire for
food is the most powerful and impor-
tant. But appetite itself often de-
pends upon conditions which are inde-

ties. Thus the aspect of the food, its
smell, taste and even the manner in
which it is served, all help either to
stimulate a desire for 1t, or to induce
q sense of aversion, while the environ
ment of the diner often exercises i'm

MOVING NATAL GRASS
Harvesting Should Begin as Soon
| as Seeds Begin to Ripen.
Unnecessary Length Of Exposure
Bleaehes Hay and Makes It Less
PalatabIe and Nutritious
Best Time for Cutting.
By s. M. TRACY)

(By s. M TRACfD
The moving of natal grass should
begin as soon as a considerable part
Of the seed begins to ripen. Ii the
weather should be unfavorable at that
time it can stand several days with
out great injury, as it is making a
continuous growth Of new shoots.
When the cutting is delayed too long
the quality of the hay is injured by
the shattering of the seeds and by the
drying-up and breaking-off of the
older stems. The greatest loss from
delaying the cuttings too long is the
consequent postponement Of the sub
sequent cuttings. To secure the great
est yield during the year and to make
hay of the highest quality, all of the
earlier cuttings should be made as
soon as the grass is in proper condi'
ton, though the last cutting may be
delayed until few days before frost
is expected, as the grass is growing
rapidly at that time and the late cut
ting insures a good supply Of seed on
the ground for. the following spring.
The grass dries so quickly that q
should be allowed to. lie on the grOur
only a short time. Unnecessarily lon
exposure bfeaches the hay and makes
it less palatable, less nutritious, and
less salable. The best hay is that
which is cured in the shortest time
and with the least exposure to the
weather. Exposure to rain bleaches
and Injuries the hay seriously, and
even exposure to heavy dew deadens
the color and makes the hay less at

Brine for Pickles,

It Is the custom with vegetables
such as tomatoes and cucumbers to
soak them in brine before putting
them through the regular picking
process. The brine is probably used
because 1t withdraws moisture from
the tissue of the vegetable and makes
IL possible to obtain firmer result,
renders a milder flavor. gives the de-
sired salt taste. and adds to the keep
ing quality of the pickles.
The strength of the brine required
depends on the length Of time the
vegetable to be picked is to remain
In the brine.
Too strong brine sOftens and
spOils the vegetable. The proportions
should be: To one quart of water add
one-third to one-half cupful salt. The
brine should be strong enough to float
a fresh egg.

tractive in appearance. One can usu-
ally be reasonably sure Of the wealth
er several hours in advance and choose
a time for cutting when the hay can
at least be cured sufficiently to put 1t
in the cock before it Is wet by rain or
dew.
When the weather is favorable for
curing, it is best to NOW In the morn
ing, from the time the dew Is off until
noon, and then windrow and cock In
the afternoon. The hay should remain
in the cock until thoroughly field
cured. The time required for this field
curing will depend on the condition
of the weather. If very favorable 1t
may be safe to haul it to the barn
after it has been in the cocks 36 to 4S
hours, but longer time is often neces-
sary.
Field curing may be regarded as
completed when the stems Ire so dry
that they will break when a small
wisp of hay is twisted tightly, when 1t
does not feel cool If pressed to the
cheek, and when stirring 1t slightly
produces slight rustic.
When conditions are unfavorable
for drying, as in rainy. cool or cloudy
weather, the field curing requires q
much longer time and is often unsat-
isfactory.
With all the judgment which the
grower may use, some hay will Occa-
sionally be caught by rain, and 1t then
requires special care to cure it thor
oughly. If it rains on the hay soon
after 1t is cut little harm will be done,
but the injury will be greater If the
rain comes after 1t is partially dry. If
the dry or even partly dry hay be wet
with rain, 1t should not be touched un-
til the surface has become thoroughly
dry. If it is still in the swath it will
need no attention unless the crop is
very heavy, when 1t should be tedded
or turned with fork. If in the wind

| Much field injury from rain may be
prevented by the use of hay caps fol-
! covering the cocks. These caps are
made In various styles, but the one
most generally liked Is. a piece OF
heavy cotton cloth four to five feet
! square. with pin Of heavy wire fOOi
in length fatened to. each corner
When the cap is put In place and the
pins are pushed into the cock to pre-
vent ii fr.m being blown off, the hay
will stend heavy rain with very little
injury. The hay should not be put into
the barn or the stack until 1t is so dry
that there will be no danger from
