celebration In the Mexican homes when 1t can be obtained at this price Butter is unknown among the poorer classes.
 Flour sells for 16 cents a pound and is growing more expensive as the embargo restrictions are made more stringent. Little wheat bread is eat en by the middle and lower classes who use flour for making tortillas a cake made of flour and water.
 American brands of coffee sell as high as 75 cents a pound and is very scarce. Mexican green coffee brings 2S cents pound and is roasted over charcoal fires as it is used.
 Rice, used principally by the Chi nese and Japanese living in Mexico, is worth 12 cents a pound
 Lard is another article which has more than doubled in price because of the American embargo. It brings 95 cents a pound when it can be ob- tained. The principal source of sup ply is the smuggler
 Beans, which are staple food throughout Mexico and are eaten three times a day, sell for 10 cents a pound. This is the highest in the history of Mexico. The red frijole bean is much preferred to the Amer ican white navy bean.
 No ham or bacon can be bought here at the present time. The last shipment received sold for 83 cents 8 pound.
 Chile peppers, grown in all parts of Mexico, are the only foodstuff which has not increased in price. It sells for three cents a pound
 Small purchases are the rule in the small Mexican stores and shops The centavo, or penny. formerly was the most used medium of purchase and exchange. It was not uncommon for children to ask for one cents worth of sugar, lard or even flour. Be- cause of the increased cost of such commodities the f1ve-cent piece has taken the place of the cent as the most used medium.
 Central markets supply vegetables fresh and dried meats and other com modities. The Chinese gardeners have obtained a monopoly of the green grocery business and they raise great quantities of vegetables | on their we'll tended farms near this and other large cities. The Chinese also carry vegetables from place to place in big baskets suspended from yoke which the peddler balances over his neck.

Measles and scarlatina, which were once so prevalent, break out now only here and there. The report of the ten days already mentioned tells of only ffty-nine cases of measles and hfty-three of scarlatina in the entire army.
 Trench-feet brought about by standing in the freezing mud for days at a time in shoes which hinder the circulation, are being combatted successfully. The last report shows only 583 cases in ten days during the coldest season, whereas in five days of the same period last year no few CT than 3,S31 cases were treated Formerly amputation was resorted to very frequently, but now the method Of treatment employed has done away with this radical means.

what ferret can do. You see we are
fine, and they really do admire US"
"And If the truth were known" said
Mrs. William, "they admire us because
we're never caught a-napping. We're
always able to escape-that is almost
always. And they find we're sly and

FAIRY TALL
THE WEASEL,
81 hAQN GRAHA1bQlyNeR

Good day." said Mrs. Weasel to her
cousin, Mrs. William Weasel. And as
Mrs. Ward Weasel was coming along
at that very moment, too, Mrs. Weasel
called out again, Good day."
"Good day." replied the other yeas
els. And their answers sounded like
funny squeals. For they always sQueal
when they talk-it is the language of
the Weasel world.
II see you have your new winter suit
on" said Mrs. William Weasel.
Eyes, as soon as the cold weather
comes like to change, and have some
thing new" said Mrs. Weasel.
GAS matter Of fact did, too," said
Mrs. William Weasel. "What did you
wear this autumn" asked Mrs. Will
liam Weasel Of the others. Mrs. Weas-
ell was the first to answer.
81 wore black suit
And the others all said that they
wore black suits too.
II really think black is better taste
than any other color" said Mrs.
Weasel.
$50 dol" said Mrs. Ward. "And
what did you wear this summer, my
dear?"
II had brown suit for the summer
months" said Mrs. Weasel. And the
others said that they had worn brown
suits too.
II think" continued Mrs. Weasel,
that we are all excellent in the way
we keep in style. We all do the same
and wear the correct things for the
seasons"
"Such good taste as our suits are,
too," said Mrs. William Weasel.
For the weasels have brown fur in
the summer which turns black in the
autumn and which is quite white in
the winter time. They feel very fash
ionable to have such different colors
for the different seasons.
Il am glad you have both come to
call on me today" said Mrs. Weasel. Il
thought we might get our afternoon
tea in some Of the holes in yonder
barn. I believe there are some deli
cious mice and rats on sale, and you
know we don't have to pay anything
for buying them"
81 suppose not" said Mrs William.
THAT'S the nice part of being a
weasel. We don't have to pay our
bills"
"Only if we're caught" said Mrs.
Ward. "Then goodness only knows
what they might do to us. We'd have
to pay for the things we've killed"
MANY people like us because we de-
stroy things they call germs-things
that are unhealthy and bad"
'Then they should never charge us
for anything" said Mrs. Ward.
"Of course we like to suck eggs, and
they don't like that so much"
"Well," said Mrs. William squealing
GROSSLY, "they can't expect us to live
for their sakes. We live, quite frank
