INTERNAL AFFAIRS
OF MEXICO MUST
Be CONSIDERED
American Members of Com
. mission Tell the Carranza
Ministers This Is to Be
Part of Settlement

Atlantic City, n. j., October 5-Satis-
factory solution of internal questions hav-
ing an international bearing must be
an integral part of the general pro-
gramme for the rehabilitation of Mexi-
co, the Mexican members of the joint
commission were informed today by their
American colleagues.
During discussion of the banking situa-
ton, taxation and other subjects, which
the Mexicans insisted were internal mat
ters, the American commissioners took
the stand that no satisfactory settlement
of the border problem can be reached
until there is evidence of the intention
of the Mexican government to so handle
such affairs that there will be no occa-
sion for constant diplomatic correspond
ence with other governments.
The matters especially referred to by
the American commissioners were those
affecting the status and rights of foreign
ers resident in Mexico.
1t was learned today that Luis Cabrera,
head of the Mexican commission, is deal
ing with the committee representing a
Id go group VI IllHlLB COICeTliS III Mex
leo in his capacity as minister of finance
rather than as one of the commissioners.
He expects to meet the mining mems rep
resentatives Saturday in New York for a
conference.
The official statement issued by the
commission today, follows
1.-THE morning session of the American
and Mexican joint commission was de-
voted to the representation to the Mex
lean commission by their American col
leagues of the Importance of giving con-
sideration to certain questions which have
a distinct international bearing because
of their effect on the United States and
the rights of foreigners resident in Mex
leo who have invested their capital in
Mexican enterprises
1.-THE satisfactory solution of these ques-
tons Is an integral and necessary part
of a general programme, the purpose of
which is to assure to Mexico the re-
sumption of her normal position amongst
the nations of the EARTH

Spot cotton reached tic a pound in An

1880. The upward trend of the price today
is supposed to have been due to the
publication yesterday of the government
figures showing that more cotton had
been exported this year than last despite
the short crop. The belief is current
that the price will advance, and farmers
who can do so are holding their cotton
for a higher market.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
ARE BIG EATERS

A child always requires more food in
proportion to his size than does ar
adult. Besides meeting the daily require.
tiyity and the need of maintaining a
definite body temperature children's food
must supply abundant muscle, bone and
nerve building material, since the child
is steadily growing taller and heavier.
A growing active 16-year-old boy re-
uuires more food than his father who
works moderately hard. A growing gir
of the same age requires slightly less
food because she is less active and not
so large.
Every child should be full fed" which
means that every child should have an
abundant supply of plain, wholesome
food, well cooked and attractively served
The food should include, at various times,
all vegetables and fruits in season, lib
eral supply of milk and well cooked GER
calls, some meat, as much fat as can be
digested, and some sweets. A child S
craving for sweets is natural and should
be satisfied at table. Pure syrups, honey,
= .ould be supplied and should be eaten
at meals-not between meals. A quart
of milk a day for each growing child Is a
slogan of the doctors interested in child
welfare Breakfast should consist of a
Sub-acid fruit, well cooked cereal, with
sugar, and top milk, toast, butter, jam,
or jelly, and at least two glasses of milk
of the equivalent (two cups of cocoa
made with milk.
Lunch if eaten at home may we'll con-
sist of a vegetable soup made with milk,
crackers or toasted bread strips, sand
witches of cheese or nuts, or cold meat.
A simple dessert of rice and milk cup
custard or plain pudding. At evening
dinner the school child may eat por-
ton of meat always accompanied by at
least two vegetables, one of which is of
the nature of onions, carrots, or turnips,
simple salad, or a plain dessert, and
whatever milk he can drink. Neither cof-
fee nor tea should be permitted any child.
Because often a child's stomach is not
large enough to contain sufficient food to
meet the childs needs when given in
three meals. provision should be made
for the child to have light lunch be-
tween morning and noon and between
noon and evening. This lunch may be but
q sandwich and an apple to be eaten at
recess, but this need should not be over
looked.
While a childs aversion to certain foods
should not be ignored, an intelligent
mother will teach her child to like all
kinds of foods and to eat moderately of
many instead of having intense food
likes and dislikes. This latter narrows
the food to a few especial articles and
often results in deficiency of certain
essential food constituents.
