immediate DemobiIization Of
Militia Units Directed by
War Department; Last
TrainI6ad Leaves March 7,
ABOUT $4,000 MEN
AFFECTED BY MOVE
Funston Believes That the
$4,000 Regulars Now Along
Line Will Suffice for All Po-
lice Duty Necessary.

Washington, Feb. 17.--Coiucident
with the opening of the American en-
bassy in Mexico, the big army of ma
tional guardsmen that was conCentrat-
ed on the border on account of bandit
activities will be in process of dissolu-
ton. orders were issued by the war
department today directing General
Funston to begin the immediate de-
mobilization of all the guard units re-
naming in border camps, and it is eX-
pccted that the last troop train Will
be on its way by March Z.
General Funston will still have on
the border nearly $4,000 troops all of
the regular army, disposed along the
line from Brownsville to Yuma, Ariz.,
on plans worked out by the general
staff. The command includes all of
the troops who were in Mexico under
General Pershing and their distribu-
ton was carried out under the direc-
ton of Gen. Eben Swift who was with
the Pershing expedition. General
Pershing will remain at Eel Paso,
where he is commanding division
including the largest cavalry unit on
the line.
German Crisis Not Cause.
Secretary Baker emphasized that
in no way connected with the crisis
with Germany, but carried out a pol
icy decided on long ago by the admin
istration. The order was issued af-
ter General Funston had reported that
with the new disposition of regulars,
he felt that he had enough men to
meet any exigencies that might arise.
Many guard units alread had been
ordered home during tho past few
weeks and the number of guardsmen
remaining to be demobiliZed under
today's order is about $4,000.
Administration officials place entire
confidence in General Funston's opin-
ion that the force of regulars Will be
sufficient. They are understood to
have been convinced by the reports
Of special observers for the state de-
partment and the army, that while it
may be possible for Villa and Iapata
followers to commit minor depreda-
tions in the sparsely settled region
west of El Paso, there is little possi-
bility of recurrence of raids in the
lower Rio Grande country,

Mexicans. The reduction is expected
by officials here to have a beneficial
effect on relations between the two
countries. especially just now when

sumed

Fe, and it is altogether likely that
several sessions of the committee will
be necessary before they can all get
ii out of their systems.
Until the report of the committee
is submitted to the house, it will be
impossible to forecast the fate of the
bill.
Sugar Factory Exemption.
The bill to exempt new sugar fac
tories from taxation for limited
period after their establishment,
which has had about as many vcissi-
tudes as can come to any ordinary
piece of legislation, had another round
in the house of representatives this
morning, and unless somebody chang
es his mind again, it will soon become
laW-provided, of course, that it
does not meet with the disapproyal of
Gvoernor de Baca.
The bill is admittedly for the bene-
fit of company which proposes to
build beet sugar factory in Las Cru
ces. in the early part of the session,
1t was introduced in both branches of
the legislature, Senator Reinburg, of
Dona Ana county, standing sponsor
for 1t in the senate. and Speaker Lie
wellyn and Representative Gonzales
of the same county, guiding it on its
way in the house. Here is what has
happened to it since then:
A Varied Career.
Killed in house by adoption of ad-
verse committee report.
Passed in senate.
Recalled by senate after having
passed both houses.
Amended so as to reduce the period
of the tax exemption from six to four
years, and repassed by senate as
amended
Senate amendment concurred in by
house and bill passed a second time.
York Agains1 Exemption.
There was a stubborn fight on the
bill in the house this morning. Mr.
York of Otero taking the lead against
it. Besides expressing his opposition
to tax exemptions on general princi-
pies, Mr.. York read from a letter
written him by one of his constituents,
purporting to give the history of a su~
gar factory established in Carlsbad a
number of years ago. According to
ne author of the letter, the venture
was far from being a succeGs from
any standpoint, The farmers of the
country, he declared,
were Systematically robbed Ivy the
owners of the factory, which in turn
was run at loss and which subse-
was destroyed by fire.
In reply to MI York, MIR. Barnes
explained that the men behind tho
Las Cruces enterprise are an altogeth- :
err different set from those that oper~
ated the Carlsbad factory, which he

Mayor Sealy is in receipt of
communication from Tallahassee,
Florida's Boosters Club, inform
ing him of the visit here next
Monday night of Mayor Lowry
and Mr.. f. II. Hopkins who are
boosting the Old Spanish Trail
Highway. These gentlemen will
leave New Orleans by auto next
Monday morning and will be due
here at I p. NJ. the same day.
Mayor Sealy being also an en-
thusiastic booster of public roads
that means so much to New Ibe-
ria will undertake to get up
little public demonstration when
the boosters arrive here. On
this occasion we hope the cham
pions of good public highways
will be present to show their sim
cereity in road building. Good |
roads in the country districts mean |
better business for the New be |
ria merchants and every effort to
enthusiasm should in
terest them. No one more than
the local merchants are interested |
N good highways and the only
way to accomplish these improve
nents is for those who know the ,
advantages Of good roads to take
he lead in matters of that kind.

being manipulated by Young Koch
who had not had much experience
in that line and when about five
miles from Patterson. travelling
at about the speed of fifteen miles
an hour his attention was sud
denly attracted to dangerous
curve in the road. Instead of
shutting off the flow Of gasoline,
the young man turned on double

the ear turned a Summersault, or
did 50 many acrobatic stunts that
the occupants Of the car were so
badly injured that they had to be
carried on stretchers into a San

wounds dressed. Every one of
them met with injuries that re

Bahon had his leg spralned badly
and yet remains III the care OF his

THE APPLE AS FOOD

By far the most common fruit food is the apple. The apple Is adapted, perhaps, more than any other fruit to a great variety of uses in the house. hold.
 Fully four-f -fifths of the ripe fruit is water and one fifth solid material. About IS per cent of the apple con sists of nutritive materials. There are very small quantities of protein and fat, both not exceeding 1 per cent, while more than 14 per cent of the ripe fruit consists of carbohydrates in the form of sugar. The food value of the apple, therefore, depends almost en tirely upon this sugar The flavor of the apple is determined both by the quantities of sugar contained therein as well as by certain ethereal oils, and by a substance which is common to most fruits, known as tannin. The quantity of tannin in the apple is So small it produces no i'll effects what ever. On the contrary, physicians and hygienists are agreed that the apple is a very beneficial food to eat in that it promotes very vigorous diges- tion. There are several points to be remembered, however, in regard to the healthfulness of apples. The fruit may prove injurious when eaten in either the unripe or overripe condition. The green apple (speaking of the unripe condition) is well known for it's power to upset the digestive system. It is wise to peel the apple before eating or at least to wash it's outer surface well.
 Measured by the cost of producing them, the apple is perhaps the cheap est article of diet. The fruit should be eaten to a much greater extent than 1t Is at present, because it is nutritious and wholesome.
