German propaganda in Mex
leo is weakening, both from lacl
OF funds and lack of results, &C
cording to observations recent
ly made in the southern republic
by Louis Hostetter, former
American Consul at Hermosillo
who passed through Los Ange
les yesterday en- route to Sar
Franciso.
In a personal interview, Mr.
Hostetter stated that he was as.
sured by President Carranz.
that the assertion that he is OF
has been pro-German is without
foundation. President Carran
"a declared, Mr.. Hostetter stat
ed, that his object is to re habit
itate Mexico and give the Mex.
lean people a better opportuni-
ty to improve their condition
than they have had before. Tc
attempt to get help in this work
of restoration from Germany,
he said, would be folly. He de-
clared that he had not given
any special privileges to German
people and is in no way pro-
German; that he believes neu-
trality is advisable, if the work
of rehabilitating Mexican in
dustries is to be the carried on
successfully, but that if the
Mexican government cannot re-
main neutral the country's self
interest would make it pro-Ally.
Mr.. Hostetter and Randolph
Robertson, Vice-Consul at Mon
terey, have been touring Mexi-
CO, ex-officially, for the United
States Food Administration
primarily to ascertain if Mexi-
can laborers can be secured for
work in this country.
While there had been some
objections on the part of lead
ing Mexicans, Mr.. Hostetter
stated yesterday that he now
has the assurance that Presi-
dent Carranz has no objection

Sensational Developments in Berlin and Vena
GERMANS LOSING GRIP IN MEXICO
Former Consul Hostetter Says German
Propaganda is Steadily Weakening

to the plan of bringing $4,000
to 10000 Mexican laborers
here, and several Governors of
States whom he visited not only
favored the plan, but offered to
help get the men.
Mi. Hostett,r declared that
conditions in Mexico are inn
proving rapidly and that there
is much more friendly feeling
toward the United States. The
latter condition he ascribes
mainly to the attitude of the
Mexican editors, who went home
from their tour of this country
profoundly impressed with the
tremendous resources of the.
United States and with the
treatment accorded them by
President Wilson and other Off
Gals.
The Mexican papers have
been printing and are printing
almost daily articles favorable
to the United States and of the
administration, Mr.. Hostetter
stated. These articles are hav-
ing a pronounced effect on the
attitude of the people.
The outlook is promising for
enormous crops, especially of
corn, and tractors are being
used more than ever, he stated
further. With more machinery
and more land in crop Mexico
would, be able to raise enough
food for its own people and
much to export, Mr.. Hostetter
believes.

d: ton. The national system.

No Excuse for Sending
Bad Eggs to Market at
This Time; Firm Fined

In lieu of having its license can
celled, the Hastings Egg and Poul-
try company OF Hastings. Neb., has
donated $500 to the Red Cross. This
comes about on the recommendation
of Z. M. Fairfield, director of en-
forcement of the food admihistra-
ton.
August / the Hastings Egg and
Poultry company loaded $50 cases
of eggs into car consigned to Oma-
ha. Inspection atsdestination showed
that the eggs in 1870 of the cases were
in bad condition. Good eggs were
substituted for the bad ones and a
fine OF 5000 imposed. This fine has
been paid and the money turned over
to the Red Cross.
The food administration holds that
there is no excuse for any merchant
or commission man sending bad eggs
to market at this time. The govern
ment regulation requires that where
eggs are bought by merchants, or
commission houses, they shall be
candled, and only such eggs as are
pronounced good shall be paid for.

Editor of EPhysician's Who's Who'
 Makes Important Statement.

Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatments which are contin- ually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people ieshy. develop ing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the sol | curved lines of health and beauty, thcTe are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness.
 Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this defi- ciency so well as the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitro- -phOs- phate, which is inexpensive and is sold by Lee & Osgood and most all drug gists under guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food clements, bitro-p phosphate quickly produces welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing
 Clinical tests made in St. Catherine hospital N. Y. C.. showed that two patients gained in weight 23 and 27 pounds. respectively, through the ad- ministration of this organic phosphate both patients claim they have not felt

Under orders received Saturday by Captain George H. Webb, director of the draft for Rhode Island, the state will send a draft increment consisting of new registrants in the class of 1918 to Fort Slocum, N. Y, on or about August 1. This is the first call for eligibles for the national army. and call is made for volunteers to fill the levy. The exact number wanted in this quota is not to be announced un- til later. Unless enough volunteers are found, the increment will be filled by involuntary induStion.
 The new regiStrants are not to be drafted for the Camp Upton summons for 1751 men. who are to leave on July 23, according to an answer to this question, received from Gen. Crow der. They may, however, volunteer Registrants of 1917 who are in defer red classes, but who are willing to sign waivers of exemption, are simi- larly appealed to by Capt Webb, and asked to volunteer for the Camp Up ton summons, which cannot otherwise he filled.
 All who volunteer will be considered strictly as volunteers and their names added to the roll of honor Capt WebL said. Inasmuch as all the new regis trants will be drafted during August anyway, Capt. Webb believes all who are eligible will not wait, but vii come forward as volunteers for eithel the Camp Upton or the Fort Slocun calls.
 In two other telegrams received iron Gen. Crowder yesterday selection boards are instructed to make the new medical examination rules retroactive and not to induct any men whose physical qualifications are not in con- | formity with the new regulations
 Boards are also ordered to report al I once to Washington the number ot

HAPPENING THIN PEOPLE
 WITH BITRO-PHOSPHATE Two Test Cases Show Gains of B and
 27 Lbs. Respectively

as strong and we1lNfor the past twelve years.
 This increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health. Nervousness sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive, thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes become bright and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health
 Physicians and hospitals everywhere are now recognizing it's merits by it's use in ever increasing quantities. Fred erick kolle, M., D., editor of New York Physicians Who's Who" says: "Bitro Phosphate should be prescribed by every doctor and used in every hospital to increase strength and nerve force and to enrich the blood.''
 Jos. D. Harrigan. former visiting specialist to North Eastern Dispensa- tory. says: Let those who are weak thin, nervous. anaemic or rundown take a natural, unadulterated strength and tissue building substance such as bitro- phosphate and you will soon see some astonishing results in the in crease of nerve energy. strength of body and mind and power of endur- ance."
 CAUTION: - Although Bitro-Phos- phate is unsurDa ssed for relieving ner1 vousness, sleeplessness and general weakness. owing to it's remarkable flesh growing properties it should not be used by anyone who does not desire to put on hesh.

FRUIT BUFFERS EASY TO MAKE; USE SURPLUS
 ORCHARD FRUITS

No tree fruits should be allowed to go to waste when it is so simple matter to put up a gallon or two of fruit buffers which go well with plain cereals and are particularly useful as a spread for bread.
 Only fruit of good quality should be used, but size is not important. The sound part of a bruised or injured apple makes a good product.
 How to Make Apple Butter With Cider. Almost all varieties of apples will make good apple butter, but those of distinctive flavor and of good cooking quality are most satisfactory Over ripe apples are not desirable, but sweet apples some times are mixed with tart ones.
 Here is a recipe for cider apple
 butter. Boil five gallons of fresh sweet cider down to two and one half
 gallons. Prepare five gallons of peel ed and sliced apples. Either add these apples raw to the boiled cider and | cook down, or first make them into
 apple sauce and then add to the cider and cook to the right consistency.
 The butter should be cooked until ap- pie pulp and cider do not separate.
 Sugar is not absolutely necessary. When sugar is plentiful pound of white or brown sugar per gallon of ap- ple butter is the ordinary proportion.
 The sugar is added after the cooking IS about two-thirds done. As the prod uct is spiced, various sirups, such as
 cane or sorghum or melasses or maple
 sirup, could be used instead of sugar if on test the new flavor proved satls-
