LARED, TEXAS Venustiano Car-
ranza is to retire as first chief of the
de facto Government of Mexico at an
early date and will be succeeded by
vreu. -aDio Gonzales, according to in
formation given out by Mexican ad
ministrative circles in Neuvo Laredo
Monday.
To Name Delegates Soon
MEXICO CITY The American
Government having accepted the pro
positions made by Mexico for a con
ference to settle the controversv be
tween Mexico and the United States.
Under Foreign Secretary Amador
said today that he expected the
names of the delegates and the date
and the place for the holding of the
conference would be made public at
the beginning of August.
It is probable that some place in
New Jersey will be chosen for the
conference.
Fought Diaz Rule
Venustiano Carranza comes of a
family which, while not of the most
aristocratic and wealthy class, boasts
of pure Spanish descent and its mem
bers have for generations been prom
inent land owners and professional
men of the State of Coahuila. Don
Venustiano is a lawyer, the son of
Don Jesus Carranza, who fought at
the side of Juarez in the stirring days
of 1857, and who gave largely of his
means to the cause of constitutional
government in Mexico.
Venustiano from his early man
hood chafed against the despotism of
Diaz, and was always considered a
dangerous man" by the aristocratic
parasites that surrounded old Don
Porfirio.
As early as 1893 Carranza, then
34 years old, and his brother were
declared in open rebellion against the
government because Don Venustiano
had had the temerity to announce his
candidacy for the Governorship a-
gainst the Diaz favorite, Garza Galan.
He refused to retire and Diaz feared
to use force, although Galan was in
stalled as Governor without even the
formality of an election.
Sixteen years later Carranza ran
again and was again summarily shov
ed aside by Diaz, but it was in that
to
in
which the latter became so interested
that it made him the leader of the
revolution against Diaz. Carranza
was his devoted adherent, and in
1911 was elected to the Governor
ship of Coahuila.
Declined Cabinet Place
On his accession to the Presidency
Madero offered Carranza a place in
his Cabinet, but this was declined be
cause the old war horse preferred
the Governorship of his state, which
by the way, he retained until his be
ing proclaimed Provisional Presi
dent. After the assassination of Madero
in 1914 Carranza was the only Gover
nor who refused to recognize Huerta
and began at once the revolution
that ended in Huerta's downfall and
flight. Then Carranza assumed the
reins of government in Mexico City,
but soon found himself opposed by
Villa, his former follower, and sever
al other independent bandit chief
tains, besides the old Cientifico fac
tion that favored Huerta.
Later came the peace conference at
Aguascalientes, when Carranza re
signed in the interest of harmony,
but the peace plan was broken up by
the high-handed outrages of Villa,
and Carranza finally left and again
took the field.

HOT WEATHER HEALTH
Hints on How to Keep Coll in Hot
Weathes
(Board of Health)
' Hot weather is the bug bear that
puts a serious crimp in the ability
and efficiency of many of us these
days. Much of our hot weather trou
bles are unnecessary, imaginary or
can be greatly reduced very easily.
First of all don't overeat. Be very
sparing in the use of meats, eggs,
butter, fat, or heat producing foods.
Let the diet consist largely of fruits,
vegetables and nonconstipating
foods. Keep the bowels moving
freely and regularly at least once a
day, by means of proper diet and ex
ercise. The Child Labor Law
(Durham Herald)
The child labor law might be con
stitutional for all we know. We op-
it for the reason that the people
of this State could have had it if they
had wanted it.
The moving picture business is one
industry that is never at a stand still.

"Horses and Tractors'
Under this heading an Ohio farmer
writes the Breecr's Gazette the fol
lowing significant letter:
Eleven years ago I purchased . ' a
grade draft mare, a coming four-year-old,
bred and weighing 1600
pounds, for $210. Two weeks ago I
sold this mare at public sale for $181.
While I owned her she raised 4 colts
and lost 3. The 4 I raised sold for
$672 at ages from yearlings to five-year-olds.
Three years ago I purchased an
other mare similar to the first one,
but 200 pounds heavier, for $271.
She sold in our recent sale for
$252.50. Three colts which she had
raised sold in the same sale for $225,
$115, and $82, respectively, or a
total of $422.
The colts sold from these two
mares brought us $1094. Both' were
just good, ordinary farm work mares,
receiving average care and attention.
I have no doubt that many Gazette
readers can show a better account of
their brood mares, but what I wish
to emphasize is the low depreciation
on brood mares which do farm work
and at the same time raise colts.
Can any one buy a farm tractor,
use it from 3 to 11 years and come
as near obtaining the original pur
chase price as we did on these two
mares?
This man came pretty near "eat
ing his cake and keeping it" at the
same time.
WATER AS A STIMULANT
"German And Japanese Efficiency At
tributed to Daily Cold Baths
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
German efficiency is not so much
due to its kultur as to the national
habit of cold-water bathing, accord
ing to the testimony of Dr. Simon
Baruch, who feels that its broader
use in America would be of great ser
vice. There will be small disagree
ment with Dr. Baruch in his general
friendship for the cold-water propa
ganda. Within recent years the ha
bit has spread greatly among Ameri
cans, whose daily pursuits bring tired
bodies and fagged nerves, and the
stimulating qualities of a cold show
er, before beginning the day's work
are generally recognized. Ancient
Rome and Greece, in the height of
their powers, were bathing nations,
and efficient Japan is a modern ex
ample of the benefits of the cold
water propaganda. Germany has,
for many years made the public bath
a common institution. In 1910 there I
were 205 German towns with public
pools, and 210 had shower baths.
