The cheapest variety costs about so
cents pound; the dearest Y cents.
One of the most serious depriva-
lions continued to be the lack of fats
and oils. The weekly allowance Of
butter and margarine together is a
little less than three ounces to a per-
son. OIL is so expensive that it is out
of the reach of the great majority of
people, 1912 for about two.thirds of a
pint Of hazelnut oil to be used for
frying. Goose fat costs $3.50 a can
of II and three-ffths ounces and is
the only fat, except vegetable oils,
that can be bought without a card.

FOOD CONDITIONS WORSE
THAN EVER IN GERMANY

Stockholm, Jan. 20.-(By MaiD-
The food conditions in Germany have
changed greatly for the worse in the
last five months. Many staples of
food have altogether disappeared from
the market, others have grown so
dear that they are beyond the reach
Of any but the well-to-do. The daily
allowance of potatoes had been re-
duced to ten ounces and either that
shortage of -four among bakers has
resulted in long queues of buyers
standing in front of the bakers for
hours.
Maximum prices of the food stuff
controlled by the government are still
very low for potatoes and bread and
comparatively low for meats. Pota-
toes cost only u cents for the stand
ard bushel of so pounds and bread a
little less than three and half cents
a pound. But the potato allowance
is insufficient for persons who have
little but bread and potatoes to eat
and have to be eaten with turnips.
1t had been hoped to allow one egg
person each two weeks in greater
Berlin, but the last one egg allowance
was made some five weeks ago and
another is not promised until Friday.
In August it was still possible to buy
cheese. Since the end of August there
has been no cheese on the market. 1t
is said that considerable quantities
are being imported from Holland, but
it all apparently goes to the front ex'
cept for small quantities allowed the
restaurants and hotels.
Another serious reduction Of avail
able foodstuffs has been the eXpro; RI
alton for control by the government of
all canned vegetables. Four or five
weeks ago the dealers were permitted
to sell a fractional part of the stock,
but only two cans on each bread car
is now allowed. Permission to sell a
further part is expected to be granted
again soon but the dealers are to be
compelled to open each can before
selling it so as TO force the buyers to
consume it at once and not hoard It.
The weekly allowance of meat Of
all kinds in the greater Berlin NUM-
cipality runs from five and one quar-
ter to eight and three quarter ounces.

American Territory
Invaded by Mexicans

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. 13.-Private ad-
vices received late tonight from Co.
lumbia, N NJ, said three Mormons
were killed by a band of Mexicans
which crossed the international boun-
Diary so miles, southwest of Hachita,
N. NJ, today, and raided the Corner
ranch" ~
Andrew Peterson, another Mormon,

H. S. Stephenson, general manager
of the Palomas Land & Cattle COM
pany, said he had received report
from his wagon boss at Hachita that
three Americans and seven Mexicans
were captured and 100 American hors-
es and mules and $1,000 worth of sup
plies taken. His report made to ref
erence to any loss of life.
The message was received from Bob

co ranch, saying the Corner RANCH"
which is on the American side of the
line, was raided by armed and mount
ed Mexicans.
Included among the property taken
was IS mules, $500 in commissary
stores, and other ranch stock. Two
Mexican families also were said to
have been forced to accompany the
bandits in addition to the Mexican
ranch hands, according to the tele-
gram.
Columbus, N. NJ, Feb. 10. - Mill
tary officers here were making every
effort tonight to confirm the reported
raid of the Corner RANCH" on the
American side of the border south
west of Hachita, N. M.
Another message received by Ameri-
can cattle men here today told of a
raid on the Nogales ranch, located on
the Mexican side of the boundary,
south Of Hachita, N. NJ, but which is
owned by American cattle men.
The Corner RANCH" so-called be-
, cause it is located in a corner formed
by an offset in the International boun-
! Diary near Monument No. SO, extends
for several miles along the American
side of the boundary and is located
, entirely in American territory.
Ten dead horses were found on the
Nogales ranch after the Mexicans had
raided it and large quantity Of sup.
plies, ranch stock and other property
| was taken, the message stated. Sew.

"The Grape of Brazil"

A notable feature Of gardens within
a certain area about Rio de Janeiro is
the jaboticaba tree. The delicious fruit
is often known as "the grape Of Bra
I'll" on account Of It's appearance, and,
as described In bulletin Of the United
States department Of agriculture, Is
conspicuous from It's peculiar habit OF
growing directly upon the bark, not
only Of the small limbs but even Of
the trunk and exposed roots. The tree.
growing to a height of 35 to 40 feet,
branches freely close to the ground,
spreading into symmetrical leafy top
Of great beauty. The flowers, produced
singly and in clusters, often cover the
entire bark above the ground. The
fruit develops rapidly to diameter Of
half an inch to an inch and half, has
a deep maroon-purple color, Is covered
with thick, rather tough skin charged
with colOring matter and much tannin,
and contains the translucent juicy
pulp, having an agreeable vinous 1a-
vor suggestive Of the Muscatine grape.
One to four flattened oval seeds, s.
quarter of an inch long, are inclosed
In this pulp. The fruit temprs one to
eat indefinitely, the complaint being
that 1t is impossible to satisfy ones
appetite on jaboticabas.

Vioiets.

Stern-faced, tired, sorefooted from
unaccustomed tramping, the man paced
along the side Of a roadway 20 miles
from the city In the afternoon sun
shine. Beside the road sat little boy
and girl. each timidly clutching bas-
ket Of lunches Of wood violets. The
children looked at the mans stern,
tired face and timldly kept back the
words Of invitation they wanted to
speak. AS the man paced by he caught
pale, twinkling little smile In the eye
Of the boy-and out Of memory's gal
lery there flashed a picture-the pic
ture Of another timid, barefoot boy In
the dust Of country roadside. a. boy
who wanted to make fortune in nick
els and dimes from his primitive mer-
chandise-and hadn't the courage to
cry his wares.
"Give me one Of your bouquets. my
boy" he said.
And he went on. Behind him a rosy
smile on two little faces and with him
ray Of sunshine on the head Of the
boy Of 40 years ago.-Detroit Free

p Queer Sort Of Butter.

A queer sort Of butter is obtained In
Trinidad. where cows and cream are
scarce. This butter is the boiled-down
fat of bird called the guacharo. The
illustrated World says that this biIj
lives In the darkest caves, and seldom
Is seen Ia the daylight. The young
birds are extremely plump and from
them is obtained rich fat, the natives
very good substitute for butter. The
birds are taken from their nests when
two or three weeks old. After they
are killed, they are put on to boil not
Id water, but in their own fat. The
natives experience some difficulty in
getting at the nests Of the guacharo,
for they must creep through caves and
wade through stagnant pools to reach
their prey. The full.grown guacharO is
so tiInid that no one ever has been able
to photograph living specimen.

NO DOGS ALLOWED ON TRAIN
But Conductor Had Embarrassing Mo-
ment When He Undertook to Ban
lsh Canine to Baggage.

Soon after the train had started
the conductor, in collecting his fares
noticed small white dog, with a
bushy tail and bright black eyes, costly
sitting on seat beside young lady
She was quite pretty, but the conduc
tors duty was plain.
I'm very sorry, madam" he said
with unusual suavity, "but it's against
the rules to have dogs In the passen
ger cars"
"Oh! dear! Is that SOP" replied the
! young lady, looking beseechingly from
her brown eyes. what shall dor
can't throw him away. He's present
for my aunt"
"Throw him away! BY no means
miss Wen put him In the baggage
car, and he'll be just as happy as the
robins In spring"
"What-put my nice white dog In
your dirty old baggage carr"
''Im sorry, miss, but the rules OF
this company must be enforced. He
shall have my overcOat to lie on, and
the brakeman will give him crackers
and milk every time he opens his
mouth
II just know somebody will steal
him." she objected.
But the conductor was firm, and
called out to the brakeman. who was
carrying a signal flag.
Here, Mike, put this dog In the bag
gage car, and tell them to take the best
Of care Of him"
The brakeman picked up the dog as
carefully as If 1t were baby. There
was a sudden twitching Of the facial
muscles. and he hastily said to the con
ductOr:
Here, you just hold him minute
till I put this flag away"
Out of the car door he went, and
held on to the brake wheel, shaking
like u man with ague.
The conductor laid his hands on the
dog, and then
"Why-wh-why-t is a worsted
dOg!" he gasped.
Eyes, SIR" replied the little miss
demurely; didn't you know that2"

Life.Savlno or DrownInu?

In an article on Sports in Girls
Camps" In ST. Nicholas, Anna Worth
ington Coale describes the tests for
rescue work, or life-saving require
ment Of the United States Volunteer
Life-Savers. These tests, which are
taken by many Of the older girls in
camp, put a good deal of zest into the
swimming.
"In order to pass the tests you must
know at least three different holds
which a drowning person would be
likely to make while struggling and
how to break them. You must also
be able to dive to the bottom and
bring up a supposedly drowned person
In proper form-head f1rst-and tow
her ashore, using any one Of three ap-
proved methods Of carrying, as, for ex-
amplas crOoking the elbow under the
chin of the victim and swimming on
the side. You must then demonstrate
an approved method Of resuscitation,
usually the Schaeffer method, which
requires only one person to apply 1t.
The first thing on reaching shore Is
to empty the water from the lungs
which, by the way, Is never more than
two or three teaspoonfuls In amount
and induce breathing by pressure on
tie ribs. II you have ever been called
upon to be the victim for someone's
practice you will understand why 1t
is still question In some camps which
form Of death Is to be preferred: life
saving or mere drOWning9"
