A SUCCESSFUL revolution in Mexico now would be a calnmitv
XV. for that country. President Obregon has been the first presi
dent since Diaz who has shown any genuine capacity to maintain order
in that afflicted republic.
Hut unlike Diaz his policy of force hns only been incidental
cardinal fcuture in his program, according to all reports, bas been a
fiir-rcaching amelioration of sociul and industrial conditions, an ex
tension of education and fair dealing with other nations. ' '
j '
If Obregon should fall how, another era of chaos and disorder
would almost certainly follow. Hecognition of the new government
by the United States would undoubtedly be withheld, and the sad
record of the past decade would have to be repeated once -more.
Undoubtedly President Obregon's recent illness was oiie cause of
the present uprising. It is a cardinal principle of Latin-American
polities to turn on the lender of the pack whenever he stumbles. It is
also a well established tradition south of the Rio Grande, to settle
political disputes by Imllels rather than ballots.
The first sign of weakness on the part of any government is the
signal for culling out the firing squad. Therefore, there is nothing
surprising or sensational in the attempted De La Huertn coup. With
Obregon's 'illness the uprising followed as a matter of course.
While the mercurial Latin temperament nlwnys gives any rebel
lion a certain measure of public support, there is BOine reason to be
ievc that the reported successes of the De La Huerta forces are
largely press agent pronogunda. Knowing that immediate success
Is essential to their cause tho insurgents undoubtedly decided to win
as much 'as possible with the typewriter, before machine guns were
brought in.
In the next few days some idea of the real situation should be
learned. For the sake of Mexico and Mexican relations with the
United States, it is to be hoped tho situation will reveal tho failure of
he De La Huertn revolt.

. THE LANDLORD. 1 j
THE LANDLORD is n genial gent, a man of 'charm 'and grace j
and when he asks you for the rent a smile adorns his face;
'twould grieve him much if discontent should in your heart bave
place. Ilq'd see his tenants blitlio and gay When he comes to the
door; he fain would seo you romp and piny about your cottage
floor; and yet the coin he bears away will come to you no more.
Tho landlord used to seek my shack ns each new month appeared,
and merry quip and cheerful crack ho filtered through his beard;
and yet he made my skies seem black, his footfall much I feared.,
Tho coin he took I used to need to buy things at the store, to buy
n helpful book to road, a couch on which to snore; ho took awny,
my ehickenfeed, and it eame liaek no more. ; The landlord ciimo'
to get the price with manners most benign ; nlas, his bearing cut
no lee, nor did his greeting fine; I bought his shanty twioe or
thrice, and then it wasn't mine. At liist I built myself a hut, hard
by the village pound, and when at eve the doors are shut, there
happiness is found ; it is n humble dwelling 'but no landlord comes
around. To other doors the landlord ;goes, to bone men for tlie
rent,' and vain and empty quips lie throws, with wit and humor
blent; but from my treasure chest he knows he'll never draw a
RCllt.

This will make tho fifth successive
lecture on the general subject -of se
borrhea, with my usual variations and
evasions. But you gotta give me
credit for a good deal of courage in
these talks. Haven't I come right out
with several recipes or formulas?
With the white lotion a dram each
of zinc sulphate and potasaa sulphu
rata and four bunces
of rose water well
agitated and dabbed,
on each night or
each alternate night
at. bedtime and
washed off In the
morning, the sim
plest degree 'of se
borrhea, which is
popularly called
"enlarged pore s,"
may usually be 'con
trolled. This famous
White lotion has the
virtues of, an "astringent wltii the
medicinal value of sulphur. Sulphur
Is 'probably the best, remedy for sebor
reic conditions In general.
Sulphur, in the popular mind, is a
sort of skin sarsaparilla But when
taken Internally, so far aa we know,
sulphur has but one effect. It Is a
mild laxative; it has no, effect what
ever on the blood, Impurities people
eagerly Imagine in the blood, or
morbid conditions of the skin. Sulphur
got the sarsaparilla reputation by do
ing such noble service in curing the.
itch, scabies, which probably circu
lated as freely among our immediate
ancestors as some far worse diseases
do among us. But whatever sulphur
did any good in the itch it was ap
plied to the skin, the itch being purely
a parasitic infestation of the skin, the
sulphur killing or seriously injuring
the health of the parasite, the Itch
mites, in the skin. .
Sulphur Is excreted by the skin
a fact which might seem to weaken
the arguments I have just unwound.
It Is normally excreted by the skin
of a healthy person. The presence of
sulphur or a sulphur compound In the
sweat or the sebum account for the
blackening or discoloration of some
articles of Jewelry which contains
some silver or other metal alloy, for
sulphur even in the form of food
tarnishes some metals. , This phenom
enon therefore indicates neither poor
Jewelry nor "top much acid," in the
system nor bad health or any kind.
Another excellent recipe or formula
containing sulphur may be used either
for excessive o illness of the face or
as a sort of dry shampoo for the head
when the hair is too oily. It consists
simply of a powder containing about
one part (i of . precipitated sulphur
(which Is perhaps the purest and most
finely powdered form of sulphur) and
four parts of talcum powder. Any
popular scented talcum powder may
be used if preferred, for the purpose
of covering the slight odor of sulphur.
Such powder is excellent to apply to
the face after a soap and water scrub
or an alcoholic mopping.
QUESTIONS AND A NSW ICRS
How Come?
Here's a question 'that comes lu
about four or five times a week:
Please tell me if it hurts me to e:y
raw potatoes. I manage to consunie
nine or 10 small potatoes a day, all
raw. '(. . , . Murphy.)
Answer; -On the contrary, If you
like raw potatoes, br any other veget
able raw, it is a healthful practice to
eat 'em raw. Only remember, pota
toes are good substantial nourishment;
nine a day ought to keep a couple of
policemen fairly well nourished if
they'd only keep -moving.
Grape Seeds
My mother maintains that swallow
ing the seeds of grapes will cause ap
pendicitis. I think the chances of
getting appendicitis are the same
whether one swallows tho Boetls or
not. AVho Is right? (R. R.)
Answer. The fancy that the seeds
of fruits may cause appendicitis
probably arose from the observation
of the earlier surgeons who often
found seedlike fecal masses in tho
diseased appendix or sometimes act
ual seeds. But we know now that
such foreign bodies cannot get into
the normal appendix but may gain en
trance to a chronically diseased ap
pendix. The foreign bodies do not
cause appendicitis. I believe swal
lowing the seeds of grapes rather
tends to prevent appendicitis.
