EX-MEXICAN CABINET
 MEMBER Is FREED

NEW YORK. Feb. 11.-ErneSto Ma dero, one time Mexican minister of finance, was freed on a suspended sentence in the county court here to- day of a charge of grand larceny. to which he pleaded guilty several weeks ago. With the record in the case were filed letters from several banking in stitutiOns interested in the transaction which prompted the indictment, ex- pressing their belief in Madero's hon esty and integrity.
 MaderO and two others were indict- ed on a charge of fraudulently obtain ing S102,9OO in a sale of copper sul- phate to the National Bank of Com merce, acting as agent for the Ma tional Bonk of Greece, The shipment was short of the specified weight when the transaction was closed. a fact which Mir, Madero discovered three weeks later and sought to remedy. This was before the cOnSignee vas aware of the short age. but before Nadero could make it good the indictment had been re- turned.

Welf-coOked food Is not the only essential to "a good meal" The serv- mg of what is cooked quickly, da1nt- fly, quietly. easily is an art which must be mastered by every woman who values the good temper, good manners, and even the good health of her family
 Scientific experiments have proved that the process of digestion is aided by the good humOr of the person eat ing: hindered. or even stopped. if the eater is irritated or hurried. A sense of comfort and pleasure at meal time is almost as important as food itself
 In most homes. meals are served without the help of a maid. The table must be laid with special provision for several members of the family to help in serving The diagram here with shows the proper method
 At each place, the fork or forks are laid at the left of the plate, tines up. A dinner fork and salad fork are the usual ones required. They are laid about an inch apart and an inch in from the edge of the table. The knife is laid at the right of the plate, with the sharp edge inward. Spoons are put at the right of the knives If a soup or bullion spoon is used. ii is laid. bowl up. farthest from the right of the plate. However much or little silver is used, good form demands that it be arranged in order of use: those to be used first put at the out side, farthest from the plate

OBy Review Leased MI

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Feb. 1.-The question of the control of the public domain, including in Arizona q 900 .OOO acres of unapprOpriated unreServed public lands, sprang to the fore at the opening of the twelfth annual session of the Arizona Cattle Growers asso- citation today and promises to be the leading problem throughout the three days meeting.
 Two speakers dealt exhaustively with this matter today, the associa- tiOn's president, Charles P. Mullen of Skull valley, and Dwight B, Heard, member of the executive committee and formerly president of the National Livestock association.
 President Mullen, in his annual ad- dress, said in part;
 A question of great moment is that of the passage by congress of a law providing for the control and use of the public domain by stock raiSers. To my mind this is one of the most vital questions to come before this conven- uon. It has been demonstrated con cluSively that to obtain the maximum production of meat, there must be some control of the unappropriated public domain

LABOR PROTESTS
 ARBITRATION BILL
Governors Suggestion for In- dustrial Department
 Is Endorsed
(By Review Leased Wirel

PHOENIX, AriZ-. Feb 1.-The exc cutive board of the Arizona state fed eratiOn of labor today sent to the low CT house of the legislature a vigorous protest against senate bill 5. which would provide for the formation of a state arbitration board
 The labor federation communities tiOn, which was read and referred to the committee considering the bill, said in part:
 We have been directed to address your body that senate bill 52. an act to create a state board of arbitra- tion, was found by our board to be so inconsistent, inapplicable and ap- parently drafted by some one wholly ignorant of industrial and legal Ques- uons that We do not deem it worthy of serious consideration either by this board, representing the workers of the state, or by the legislature, repre- senting the people"
 The communication was signed by Thomas J. CrOaff, president and Geo. D. Smith, secretary of the state fed eration of labor
 Governors Plan Endorsed
 Two other communications were re-
  dOrsed a suggestion in Governor Campben's message to the legislature urging the establishment of an indus trial department in the state ana read:
 We are directed to address your body urging the establishment of a state labor or industrial department with commissioner in charge. ap- pointed by and responsible to the gov ernOr, the said commissioner and de partment to be endowed with the du- ties and functions of a state depart ment of labor"
 The third letter flatly disapproved of any attempt to alter the workmen's compensation laws of the state, say ing:
 We deem it unwise at this time, on account of the existing unsettled in dustrial conditions. to participate in any movement looking toward change in the workmen's compensa- ton laws. This action is taken afteA this board has considered that DOT ton of the governors message urging the establishment of a wOrkmen's com penSatiOn law commission 10 draft a new law"
