SAYS BAXDIT KILLED MANY. U. S. Officials Receive Reports of Wholesale Slaughter. El Paso, Texas. Nov. IS.?From a Chinese refugee from Parral United States government agents here today received a report that all of the foreigners remaining in Parral, exclusive of the five known to have left for Culican and thought to have arrived there, had been killed by the Villa bandits. The Chinese refugee said that those killed included the German, American, Hebrew, French and Arab residents of the mining camps. He also said a brother-in-law of Theodore Hoemuler at Jiminez had received confirmation of the killing of Hoemuler, a German subject, and his family in Parral. The Chinese refugee added that general belief in Jimi Lr AOIT nnrman IltfZ Mr'H.S LII ct t J&Ugai IWVH, uvi mull consular agent in Parral, had been killed at Santa Rosalia. From Chinese Refugee. United States government representatives here also have received practically the same report from a Chinese refugee who arrived in Juarez Thursday nignt. These reports agree that Villa and his bandits* after occupying the mining town, ordered the foreigners killed, looted the stores, arrested many of the natives and held them for ransom aPd committed other depredations. The Chinese refugee who arrived last night said at least twenty Chinese had been killed in Parral, and that fifteen Arabs, Hebrews and Syrians had been put to death. He did not know the number of the other foreigners killed, although he said another Chinese who fled from Parral had told him in Jiminez that "all the foreigners had been put to death." Of the foreigners believed to nave been in Parral when Villa entered, \ American Mining company officials here say there were at least five, and k probably six, Americans. Five Americans who left two days before the , town was evacuated reached Culican, ; according to a message received by \the Alvarado Mining and Milling Company here. There remained in Parral, according to the mining men, the following Americans: Jacob Meyers, E. W. Palmer, William Scott (who was at first erroneously reported to be a son of Gen. Hugh L. Scott), Henry Schaffer, R. P. Cowell and Dr. Thomas Flanagan. However, the officials of the Alvarado Mining company think it is possible that Flanagan made the trip to Culican with the party in charge of Leslie Webb, who left on November 2. Way to Fight Pellagra. New York, Nov. 18.?Pellagra, from which more than 100,000 persons in this country are said to be suffering, can be controlled, according to a report by a commission of the post-graduate medical school and hospital of this city made public today. The commission also announced its \ conclusion that the disease is infectious and is not caused by an unbalanced or inadequate 'diet. They found the disease spreads through the lack of proper sewerage facilities and that the most effective methods of combating it is by- the installation of efficient sewerage systems. These findings are the result of an extensive investigation which the commission has conducted in SparI tanburg county, South Carolina. I The commission admitted that it f had not discovered the cause of the disease, but reported it had disproved the theories that pellagra was due to the bite of the black fly, that it was caused by the presence of certain minerals in drinking water, or by eating too much corn.

"From the worst type of pellagra focus the district has been changed to a community in which the disease no longer spreads," the report declared. Air Was Different. Flanagan sat on his front doorstep enjoying the balmy freshness of the spring evening. Presently his neighbor, Murphy, passed by the fence for a chat. "A foine av'nin'," said he pleas. antly. "But why isn't Mrs. Flanagan wid ye enjoyin' the air?" "Sure, :MlKe, repneu. nauai^au, "the missus has gone for a change av air!" "Has she now?" replied Murphy interested. "And Oi hope the change will do her good. And where was she after goin'? Broighton. Oi suppose?" "Then ye suppose wrong," Flanagan informed him.

Clinkscales, of Wofford college, who was a candidate for governor two years ago and who had been prevailed upon to run again two years hence, announced positively yesterday that he would pot be a candidate. Dr. Clinkscales came here to attend the .Methodist conference. In. conversation with a group of newspaper men suggestion was made that he give the announcement of his candidacy to the local press. He replied: "I'll announce that I will not ue ,a candidate. I won my fight two years ago," referring, it is presumed, to his fight for compulsory education. This was the first positive announcement made by the Wofford professor relative to gubernatorial race in 1 91S. Time Savers. I have never considered myself a specialist in any way, but a kinder "Jack at all trades" sort of woman, and you know this adage is said to mean good at none, though I believe myself clever at many. Housekeeping is no special hobby with me, however. I try to keep my house as neat as I can. I consider the house and furniture are for me, and me not for them, as it seems some women do who make themselves perfect slaves to them. I do my own cooking, sewing, milking, house cleaning, superintend my garden, doing most an tne noe woik. Also raise chickens, make soap and have spare time to read the Bible, religious and moral literature; crochet, tat, make drawn work and embroider a little. I employ three methods which assist in economizing time, viz: First?I scarcely ever wash dishes after the evening meal. I keep plenty of everyday ones to set the table twice without having to wash any. One can bunch them, put them off on another table, put a spread over them and have the dining table ready for morning. Then I feel fresher and can do them all at once much quicker than to have two washings, as I am always tired by night. I use two pans. Wash in one, stack them in another, pour boiling water over them, set one dish on table, stack all others inverted around this promiscuously. They will drain, dry and be ready to arrange on table by the time you have finished the stove vessels. Second?When the weather gets warm we sleep upstairs and do not use the sitting room as a bedroom, consequently keeping it presentable at all tmes, thereby saving time and labor when I am busy outside with garden and chickens. Then any convenient time I can attend to the bedroom. Third?I rarely ever cook but once a day during the warm season, as we all like cold victuals best and are more healthy. I thereby economize time, labor and fuel. After breakfast I go on with the cooking until I have sufficient for all day. I prepare the vegetables the day before, and cook bread, dessert, etc., while these are cooking. It will not be entirely cold by the time to serve the next meal, and the water on the stove reservoirs is still warm enough to wash the dishes. Someone has said that doing things this way is indolence. I think time saved and drudgery elminated is intelligence, for there-is so much drudgery from which there is no escape.?Home and Farm.

NATION'S WELFARE. I*resiilent Says Campaign Over, Turn! to It Without Partisan Feeling. Williamstown, Mass., Nov. 10.? "Now that the campaign is over we may all address ourselves to the welfare of the nation without thought of partisan feeling," declared President Wilson in his first public speech since the national election, delivered before a delegation of Williamstown residents and Williams College students, who greeted him late today. The president was welcomed by the students and townspeople after the' christening of Eleanor Axson Sayre, I the second child of his daughter, .Mrs. Francis B. Sayre. and for whom he stood as godfather. Soon after his arrival at the home of his son-in-law, assistant to the president of Williams College, the delegation, headed by President H. A. Garfield, of the college, marched to the Sayre home. The president spoke from the porch of the house and was cheered enthusiastically. . Nation's Welfare. "I came here to forget the field of politics and for a brief rest. I came simply to visit my daughter and to attend a simple ceremony here today," he said. "Now that the campaign is over we may all address ourselves to the welfare of the nation without thought of partisan feeling." The president referred to his service as chief executive of Princeton University, saying he knew from experience there was politics even in the running of a college. "Politics," he continued, "is after all a means of getting something done, of putting forward ideas. It is a fight but the man who does not love the fight has no red blood in his veins." Man With a Vision. Mr. Wilson told a story of a man having a vision in which he was ofQ hnrn and a. sword and chose the horn. Immediately the vision vanished and the man was cursed for taking the horn before the sword. He told the story to illustrate.the necessity for fighting. Mr. Garfield, a son of President Garfield, declared the president's words during the campaign had been "full of wisdom and light.'' He added: "We wish you Godspeed in your great office." When the president arrived here this afternoon he found a stack of telegrams three feet high contratulating him on his reelection. They came from cabinet members, senators, representatives, government officials and leading Democrats. He will reply to them upon his return to Washington. To Have Chautauqua Plant. ' Washington, Nov. 19.?Establishment at some central Southern city of a Chautauqua of the South, similar to the institution that has grown up on the shores of Lake Chautauqua, N. Y., has been decided on at a conference here of officials of the Southern Conference for Education and Industry and the Chautauqua institution Plans announced today said a plant comparing favorably with that of the parent organization, erected at a cost of $2,000,000, was contemplated "to further the educational progress of the South." Dr. D. B. Johnson, of Rock Hill, S. C., president of Winthrop Normal and Industrial college, and the retiring president of the National Education association, was elected president of the new body. By-Products in Munitions.' The value of tar, ammonia and benzol products recovered in the course of other processes in muniI tion plants and at by-product coke ovens, in 1915 was nearly $25,000,000.

The coal gas plants produced and sold 336,213 gallons of benzol, drip oil and holder oil, valued at $26,281, an average value of 8.4 cents a gallon. Benzol products recovered in connection with the manufacture of by-product coke amounted to 16,600,857 gallons, valued at $7,337,3 71, an average of 4 4.2 cents a gallon.
