penditures. Since the cost of living is
constantly advancing it is vitally nee
essary that deep concern be paid to
reducing certain items of expenditure.
Food for the family costs more than
any other item. and those who work
with the thriftless and improvident
know that their condition is largely
matter of what they spend for the i'll
side rather than the outside of the
body.
Since meat makes up large part of
the ordinary family diet, any economy
in the purchase of it will make a no.
ticeable reduction in the food bill. By
using meat substitutes, which are less
expensive. but as nutritious, the
amount may be cut down by half. The
use of cheese, which is rich in pro-
tein, pound of cheese being equal to
two pounds of meat in food value with
much less waste. will prove most sat

1t is a great advantage to market

is able to furnish variety and if she
has strength of mind enough to re-
fuse to buy that which she knows she
cannot afford, no matter how alluring,
she will find her marketing profitable.
The butcher will not give short weight
with the customer looking on, though
the difference may be small it amounts
to much in the course of year.
The cheaper cuts of meat, nuts pre-
pared in loaf, eggs in various forms.
are all economical dishes when pre-
pared intelligently.
The utilizing of leftovers in the
planning of the meals is another i'm
portant item. 1t goes without saying
that the economical housewife makes
out her menu days ahead in order to
save expense and use those left-overs
profitably.
Brown bread, white bread or whole
wheat bread is made more wholesome

Fruit and vegetables lend them

soups and salads they are satisfac-

Of Death at Carrzal.
Field Headquarters (via Wireless to
Columbus, N. M.)-Trapped and fight
ing against heavy odds, the troops Of
the Tenth cavalry engaged at Carrizal

into the jaws of the ambush which
the Mexicans had laid for them With
bullets in his arm and shoulder, Capt.
Charles T. Boyd, the commander, re-
mained in the saddle, leading his ne
gro troopers until they had captured
the concealed Mexican machine gun
trench, when he fell mortally wound

the gist of the first detailed account
of the engagement from American
sources which was brought to Gen.
Pershing by Corp. Green of Troop e.
who was at Capt. Boyd's side until he
fell.

ports which have reached field head

TEXT OF WILSON NOTE SENT TO
GEN. cARRANzA.
Demands Immediate Release Of Pris.
oners Taken at carrizai, and
Statement Regarding Course
Of Action by De Faeto
Government.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The text of the note
to the Mexican de facto government,
transmitted Sunday to James Linn
Rodgers, special representative of the
American government in Mexico City,
says:
Mr.. Arredondo Saturday delivered
to this government the following com.
munication:
II am directed by my government
TO inform your eXcellency, with ref
erence to the Carrizal incident, that
the chief executive, through the Mex.
lean War Department, gave orders to
Gen. Jacinto b. Trevino not to permit
American forces from Gen. Pershings
column 10 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 END 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 we're
made prisoners
You are hereby instructed to hand
to the minister of foreign relations
of the de facto government the follow
ing:
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 it is intended as formal avowal
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
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.
81 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 it wishes the government OF
the United States to understand it has
determined upon and that it also ex-
poets that this statement be made
through the usual diplomatic channels
and not through subordinate military
commanders

KENTUCKY TO HUGHES
The President Declines to Speak There

Kentucky was ended yesterday when
President Wilson declined to make an
address at Winchester, KY on Sept 5,
at the same time. that Mr.. Hughes il to
speak at Lexington, 90 miles away. The
president speaks at Hodginville in mem
DRY of Abraham Lincoln on Sept. 4.
Democratic leaders OF Kentucky wanted
the president TO stay over and speak the
following day in Winchester,
Had the president accepted the latter
invitation he would have been speaking
in town of about $500 while Hughes
was officially opening the Republican
state campaign few miles away in
Lexington, city of $4,000. To get to
Winchester the president would have had
to pass through Lexington, another fea-
ture that would have made it most in

The president told those who are urg
lug him to go that he did not want pol
itics TO enter into the Lincoln day speech
or trip, either directly or indirectly.
