STARS AND STRIPES AGAIN DESECRATED In Darkest Mexico Where Lawlessness and Violence Always Reigns REPARATION IS DEMANDED Flag Flying Over McManus House Pulled Down and Trampled Under Heathen Feet. Matters grow from bad to worse in Mexico wherein it seems the United States will finally have to take hold and whip the whole crowd and bring them to their senses. How the American (lag- over tlie home of John B. McManus, an American citizen, in Mexico City was "torn and dragged half way down the pole," by Zapata soldiers when they murdered McManus and looted his home two weeks ago was told in dispatches from the Brazilian minister, made public' by Secretary Bryan. Secretary Bryan said reparation for the insult to the flag had been asked from the Zapata authorities, but that no reply had come. He said there had j been no demand for a salute to the flag as in the Tanipico affair. An expression of regret for the kill ing of McManus already luvj been received from Gen. Palafox. the Zapata, commander, with a promise of indemnity for the family and puni.-hmcnt for the stayers if apprehended. Mr. Bryan explained that the Bra j zilian minister in reporting- McManus'i death March J1, mentioned only the fact that the American Hag was flying j over the house. The next day he sent I a further report, referring to the' descreation of the flag. An inquiry from the department brought an explanation on March 1G that an American committee which investigated the affair reported to him "that following; a fusilade which preceded the general entry of the Zapata forces into tlie house, the flag- was badly torn by the Zapatists and dragged half way down the pole." The same committee, ihe minister ~ -J 1 1 1- -ii i . i lA-u, iii'.d suumiwed to n 1111 a i?notograph of the house ami flavin this connection it became known today that Hags had been violated reeently at Manzantillo, among them a flag over the house of an American ranchman. When these reports wore called to Gen. Carranz iV attention he, denied the truth of the ropoits. I .1 A Happy Home (Read What Per una Did) Mrs. James F.

I;, y* SAYS TURKEY HAS FULL RESOURCES I Official Declares War Situation Satisfactory.?Attack on Egypt.?Crossing Sue Canal Said to be no Great Obstacle. ."If you mention my name in connec tion with what 1 have told you I will apply our military law and have you { shot. Your promise not to do so may be all right, but we do not trisc reporters and editors any more. They ; have lied too much; lied the olue out ! of the sky. And let me assure you I 4U..1 ii? Ll niav u yuu ust- my name ine protect- ^ ; ion of your embassy will not help you. j You know under what stipulations I have talked to you. The Turkish army has nothing to conceal, but it does not ! want to be lied about." This was the admonitory conclusion of a statement obtained b,\ a correspondent of the Associated Press from a man who would permit that as au- | thority a "semi-official" source be giv- j en. Since the statement that he must be looked upon as an authorative! source will not bring the firing squad any nearer that designation will be in order. JI is statement in part follows: "The position and conditions of the Turkish army in the Caucaus is excellent. We do not expect that the de cision of the European war is to take . place in the Caucaus. Our operations there have primarily the purpose of obliging the Russians to keep j a large force there in order to case our allies in Poland and Galicia. Some I of the Russian companies in tlm Cancans have dwindled down to 25 men in stead of 2505. Wc recently wiped out a Russian regiment so completely that funeral services had to be held for the entire or ganization. "The crossing of the Suez canal three or four days ago by a battalion of Turkish infantry demonstrated that the water way is no obstacle to us. We do not intend forcing operations against Egypt just now. We have men enough there for that purpose but sup ply conditions do not allow a general offensive for the time being. The rail road which will serve to make communications through the 200 kilometers of desert easy, will be completed soon. I can not tell you where that railroad is being built. Our forces are advancing as fast as feasible?one army along the coast of the Mediterranean, another along the Gulf of Suez and the third in the center. "We have no trouble feeding our men in the field. In the Caucasus we have not always been able to give them enough bread but the meat supply in that region arc so plentiful that 'We have made up the rations in that way. There has been no difficulty supplying our troops in the south with food, though the scarcity of water there has been somewhat of a problem ?one which we are meeting satisfactorily, however. Large Resources. "Talk of a scarcity of ammunition! and other supplies of war is rank nonsense. We have an ammunition factory able to meet our demands and there is in operation a plant in which we are able' to turn out field artillery. You arc at liberty to inspect both. "The resources of this country in men lit for military duty have been a surprise to me . We do not have to take men from Turkey in Europe for service in the Caucasus and against Egypt. Right now we are raising scv eral corps in Anatolia. We have in Turkey in Europe six army corps to give a proper reception to any forces which may undertake to land on these shores. "The stories alleging that the Turkish troops i!i the Caucasus and elsewhere are dying in droves are inventions. There has been some sickness as there has been in all other armies. A good many of our men have had their hands and feet frozen. The winter in the Caucasus has been bad, but it will soon be over. The American ambassador here deserves great credit for his effort to get sanitary supplies to our troops. "There is nothing to be said about the much advertised defeat of our troops in the Caucasus," continued the authoritative source. "The Russians simply magnified the affair out of all proportions as to what actually occurred. We have not issued a detailed denial because we do not think it worth while. Wo have more to do than busy ourselves with the falsehoods circulated by official press bureaus, reporters and editors. "The performance of the Russians in the Caucasus has been pitiful. They have a railroad into the very theatre of war. We have none. They can bring up their supplies on trains. We must carry them for miles on pack an imals and camels. The Invasion of Egypt. "Whether or not we intend invading Egypt is a political question on which 1 have no right to speak. What I can say is that the Suez canal will be crossed by the Ottoman troops just as it was crossed two weeks ago. We will soon have a railroad at our disposal .and until that time nobody need count > on a general crossing of the canal, j The men who crossed the canal march cd through the desert for over 200 kilometers. We are not foolish enough to imagine that a large organization could do it. We could do it, however, if we had water. We are getting that. 1 How, I can not say. "Meanwhile, we have tied up in Egypt a large British force. But that force will not be large enough when 1 we are in a position to assume a gen oral offensive. The fact is that some people are lying to keep up their people are lying to keep up their courage. We do not have to do that. We 1 know exactly what there is before us. and are acting accordingly. "I consider the general military situation in Turkey and her allies the best since the outbreak of the war." Nature's Guide for Gardening. Nature furnishes guides for garden planting which are even more reliable than the calendar, according to the department's garden specialist. The old residents of the soil such as the maple, dogwood, and white oak are the best interpreters of nature's moods in spring, and quickly reflect them, so that the gardener who follows their silent suggestions may arrange tlie planting of his vegetables accoi dingly. When the silver maples begin tc put forth their leaves and the "cat kins" appear on the willows and poplars, nature is indicating that the season is right for the planting of such a... 1-1 i i i vug uioies as leciuco, musiar.i, onion I seeds and onion sets, parsley, the round seeded peas, early Irish potatoes, radishes, spinach, and turnips. This, of course, is provided that the soil is in good order, which can be determined by taking a handful at a depth of 3 or 4 inches from the surface, compact it in the hand by closing the fingers, and, if upon opening them, the ball of earth gradually falls apart, it is ready to be spaded. Manure should then be buried a full spade depth below the surface and the soil should be made fine and compact with an even surface. Not until about 10 days after nature has set the date for the abovementioned vegetables should such gar den truck as beets, carrots, and kohlrabi be planted. A second sowing of peas can also be made at this tme. The dogwood and the white oak begin to show signs of awakening at a time when ether vegetables may be planted. These include bush and pole beans, sweet corn, cucumbers, muskmelons, watermelons and various kinds of squash. The gardener and housewife will rarely plant too early if they but wait for nature to tell them what to do. f ATTENTION 111 Mr. Stock Owner!

Jeff Livingston, who, in spite of the fact that he is the president of the great Snider Preserve Company and a multimillionaire, is as democratic as his first name, was once a poor boy and wore his rags and patches with the rest of the "kids." JcfF occasionally finds time to indulge in a little literary work and his most recent effusion is founded upon an incident in his early career. Here it is: Two ladies gay met a boy one day; his legs wore briar-scratched, His clothes were blue, but a nutbrown hue marked the place where his pants were patched. They bubbled with joy at the blue cladd boy with his stop of nut-brown hue. "Why didn't you patch with a color to match" they chuckled. "Why not with blue ?" "Come, don't be coy, my blue-brown speak out?" and they laughed with glee; And he blushed rosy-red, while he bashfully said; "That ain't no patch, that's me!"

"The Treatment and Prevention of Pellagra" is the title of a very interesting phamplet just issued by the government printing office being prepared by Joseph Goldbercrer. C. H Waring and David G. Willcts, the surgeons in charge of the pellagra investigations. This is in the nature of a brief summary of the conclusions of the investigators. These are reduced to the followingbrief statements: That pellagra is not infectious or contagious, but it is of dietary origin that it is dependent j on some yet undertcrmined fault in a diet which the animal of leguminous protein component in disnpproportion I atcly small and non-leguminous component disaportionatoly large; that no pellagra develops in those who consiync a mixed, well balanced and varied diet. The treatment recommended by these specialists is merely one of diet. They declare that while the disease is one of improper nourishment, though not necessarily of undernourishment, there is nothing to be gained by the giving of medicines, but that the improvement if any in the patient's condition may be brought about by the use of and abundance of fresh milk, fresh lean meat, brans and peas, fresh or dried, but not canned. It is claimed that this diet will save, but in many cases it will do so. The bulletin then goes into detail as to the use of sweet milk and buttermilk, not less than four eggs a day; roast beef or steak, or in case where mastication is painful, the juice of the meat. v An adult should be urged to take at least half a pound of meat a day in addition to the milk, eggs and legumes. A palitable bean or pea soup should be given in the diet, not that corn is not a wholesome or nutri.ious food, but because the occurrence of pellagra is commonly though not exclusively associated with the consump tion of a diet hi which corn forms a disproportionately largo part. Corn may be used in moderation, with an abundance of milk, after all symptoms of pellagra ha/e disappeared. There is no medicine known that has any specific value. Tonics may be used and at tmes may be helpful. It h of vital importance to conserve the appetite. Resting mind and body is important perhaps essential. The patient should be protected from the sun. The bulletin continues. There is reason for more than a suspicion thai the introduction of or inert asc i i the legumes in the daily dietary coincident with the comiug to our tables of the "fresh vegetables' 'of summer is in part, at least, responsible for the improvement and recovery of the cases of pellagra that appear annually as a sort of spring and early summer crop following a winter or early spring diet in which these elements are more or less conspicuously small or altogether absent. The evidence is daily becoming stronger that the eventual eradication of pellagra from our South will depend largely on the successful introduction of our common dried legumes into the late winter and spring dietary. A valuable step in this direction would be an increase of the varieties of beans and peas and their preservation in the dried state fo?* win tor and spring consumption.
