Raw Tomatoes Wholesome

rs It true that raw tomatoes contain
vegetable, calomel and that they may
be used, when eaten in quantities, in
stead of blue mass when one is bilious?
My grandmother says if one eats plenty
of raw tomatoes, one will need no bilious
medicine all summer long. "F. A. X"
Strictly speaking, there is no such thing
as vegetable calomel. 1t is a mineral
drug, a preparation of mercury Toma-
toes will not act as a substitute for blue
mass, which is a mild form of mercury.
Tomatoes are wholesome, and, to GER
tain extent remedial when in their
prime, and may well be eaten freely to
correct in some degree hillary secretons
consequent upon summer heat. But do not
take them as medicine A judicious die
tary must not be COMPOUNDED with drugs

Apple Custard Pie

Il saw request for apple custard pie
with grated apples. This may be what
is wanted: One cup of grated apples, one
cup of milk, two eggs, sugar to suit
taste. Crate the apples one at a time;
keep sprinkling them with sugar to keep
them from turning brown. Beat in the
yolks of the eggs and one white. Add
the milk. Put into a single pie crust
and bake. Use the other white for me-
ringue.

How to Remove Wall Paper

Someone asked how to remove wall pa
per My way is this: Go over the paper
with a large brush dipped into a thin
paste of flour and water, wetting every
bit of the paper Let this alone for
awhile, then strip off the paper, which
should yield easily. There will be no
dust or dirt and the strips may be packed
in basket, dried and burned imme-
diately, for sanitary reasons.

u would say in answer to readers in

to dip them by the stem into melted
paraffin, such as is used on the tops of
jelly glasses. When it is like water,

do not let it get lumpy, as that will

Washington, Jan. 27.-The United
States may be obliged TO apologize to
Carranza for an invasion" OF Mexico
Yesterday by three army officers and
their men, who went to the rescue or
two comrades captured by Mexicans'
Four American soldiers, members or

two kidnapped soldiers were returned
70 the United States authorities by Car
ranza's men. Tho three officers who
crossed the border have been placed

fully expects Carranza to demand that
tho act be disavowed and the officers
punished.
Secretary Garrison said to-day that
punishment would be administered
without waiting for CarranZa's protest,
az crossing the border with armed
forces is contrary to the departments
instructions. The army in Texas has
strict orders not TO invade Mexico on
any pretext, even in self-defence, with
out consulting tho War Department.

indicate who took the responsibility for
yesterdays invasion. but General Fun
ston has power to punish the offenders.
Basis for Protest Gone.
officials say that with the return Of
tho two captured soldiers to American
soil all basis for a protest By this gov
ernment is removed. The death by
drowning OF four American soldiers
cannot, it is said, be charged to Mexico
American officers here as well as
minor officials of both the War and
State departments secretly sympathize
with the three officers who have been
placed under arrest for the "invaslon.
They point out that American soldiers
on tho border have been for months
srbIected TO insult and open attack
without effective means of retaliation,
and say that they could not be expected
10 sit idly by while two of their com
rades were captives. 10 is recalled That
trooper captured by Mexicans some
time ago was cruelty tortured and then
put 90 death.
Army officers say that the present
rule forbidding the invasion OF Mexico
a. an act of retaliation Is absurd, and
that until it is revoked the prestige and
the morale Of the troops along the bor-
der will continue 20 suffer. Mexican
bandits and raiders are now able 20
harass and attack the American patrols
with absolute impunity, knowing that
by taking refuge on their own soil they
will be out Of reach. No effective pur-
suit Of marauding bands is therefore
possible.

things with an iron hand, was against
il until the news was carried TO him
that one Of Secretary McAdoo's Federal
oflceholders was on hand with a reso-
luton Of this kind and intended to put
it through or stir up q warm fight.
Mark Tisner, Collector Of Internal
Revenue in New York, was the man
who had the Wilson resolution in his
pocket. It did not take Murphy long
TO decide that he and his friends could
not openly fight such a resolution, and
plans were laid to have an out-and-out
organization man offer 10, so that the
organization would get the credit.
There was no objection from Eisner
TO this plan. lie smiled broadly when
Michael Walsh, of Westchester, with
much seriousness, introduced the reso-
luton commenting in fowery language

argument for the passage Of the
