Conditions In Mexico Grow Worse Daily El Puso, Texas, Aug. 30.?Conditions are worse in Mexico than than at any time during the last six years of revolution. Americans arriving here from Mexco City and other interior plnces bring this information to the border. Refusal to accept Carranza paper money in payment for their- o mil tu? causing the execution of hundreds of laborers by the Carranza military authorities. Workmen receive ten pesos in currency for a (lay's toll. That means about 35 cents in gold. W^jen they refuse to accept the paper their employers complain to the nearest military headquarters and the laborer is shot. This has lmp|>eiied scores of times recently in the districts around Mexico City, American arirvals say. Typhus fever is raging throughout the country and hundreds are dying In the states of Zacatecas, Jalisco and Cuadaljara. Only the very wealthy can nlTfTonl to pay $50 a bottle for the necessary medicine. The beautiful city of Zacatecas lias been almost deserted by its (TOO.OOO people. Tliey have gone into country districts ror rood nnd to escape the typhus. Fanzine Is spreading and tlio meat supply luis been eouiuiundeered by government officials. They are holding most of It for their friends and themselves. The states most seriously effected are Chilliuahua, Jalisco. Micbocaca (Suadnlajnra, (Juanato and Zacateeas. The Catholic confessional has l?een forbidden by government decrees nud nuns are heing expelled from tli country wherever Carranza officials find them. Cathedrals are being use<l as barracks in many of the northern states and church projierty has been desecrated by soldiers. Prediction was made today by American refugees in close touch with conditions that the United States would soon be eoni|iellcd to send food to the districts wrere starvation is .imminent. The do facto government has been unable to relive the suffering from famine or check the typhus epidemic. Villa bandits, 200 strong, are reported to have circled north of Chihuahua City from Statevo. They are attempting to cut the 'railroad to Juarez. Carranza military authorities in Juarez are plainly alarmed at the lntest movement of Villas men.

Verrena Webb, a 14-year-old pupil of the Oak Grove, La., school, of which Miss Bertha Treen Is teacher of domestic science, writes this department explaining how the girls of the eighth ahd ninth grades served 85 to 100 persons a day for a week on the following soups: "We served cream of tomato soup, cream of pea soup, cream of corn soup, cream of potato soup, cornlet soup, chicken soup and vegetable soup. "My favorite soup was cream of tomato, the recipe of which I shall give irou. Cream of tomato soup: Onehalf can tomatoes, one slice onion, two teaspoons sugar, four table spoons flour, one-fourth teaspoon soda, oneeighth teaspoon pepper, one-third cup butter. "Scald milk with onion, remove onion and thicken milk with flour, dilute with cold water until thin enough to a pour, being careful that the mixture . Is free from lumps. Cook 20 minutes, stirring constantly at first, cook tomatoes with sugar 15 minutes, add )oda and rub through a sieve, combine mixture, and strain into tureen, jver butter, salt and pepper. "We served in cups, serving the lower grades first "The money was raised by charging the pupils five cents a week, for which they got a nice cup of hot soup five lays. Some Ingredients were donated by the patrons. "We felt the soups would be' especially , enjoyed and healthful during the cold days, so while we were learning how to make them we under took to serve all who paid one cent per day ind it proved a great success. Mr. Bryan says that if he had lived 100 years ago he'd be hanged. Seems :bat in spite of war in half the world :hls old globe isn't such a bad place at iresent after all.

We are hearing very much less about ufantile paralysis in New York and in he reason the country will find cause 'or rejoicing. It is in the steady define of new cases. These are rapidly Iwindiug and in a few days, if indi-ations hold good, the Infantile paralyils epidemic of 1916 will be a thing of he past.
