Plaintive Squeal for Another Orozco
Mexico still wait* the arising of a patriot
One of the saddest sights the eyes of men must
look upon 1* to see a country torn and bleeding
and for no good cause. *>
The first of the war v»e heard patriotic shout#
for equality and freedom; now those battle cries
are stilled and men are fighting, killing each other
and killing a country, with no Inspiration, no
grand watchword, no fiery soul, simply killing dsy
after day In the name of one little man or another.
It Is a sad sight for those who love Mexico and
for those who love their fellow men—*E1 Paso '? <

The above Is a Plaintive squeal for another Oroxco.
Mexico awaits the application of the iron hand by the
patriot who has already given his nation the blessings
of constitutional government, but who has been con-
stantly harassed by the bandit elements who have taken
advantage of the distracted condition of the country to
murder, pillage, outrage and lay waste the resources of
the nation under the tutelage and encouragement of the

The ladies of El Paso, under the
supervision of Mrs. J. A. Potter, ap-
pointed by the Texas governor's wife,
Mrs. O. B. Colquitt, have done much
toward aiding the cause against tu-
berculosis. During the month of De-
cember there were sold In El Paso
Red Cross seal stamps aggregating
a sum of 1483.15. Of this sum El
Paso gets forty per cent, $103.46.
for local application to the fight, and,
aside from this, money which was
owed the organization last year.
Following is Mrs. Potter’s report on
the stamp sale:
Seals received
Seals sold
1116.35
Seals purchased and returned 1,-
748.
Seals returned to Austin 13,384.
The total amount of sale, J483.66,
is deposited in the City Natl||8l
bank to the credit of Mrs. N. S. Sw-
art, treasurer of the fund.
Of the total the state work, acojBd-
ing to contract, is entitled to f®ty
per cent, which amounts to 118g,l6.
But the state work owed El tf|so
1238 which was forty-three per wit
of results In December, 1911, wp|fch
had to be used for a time In the G|il*
veston Child's Hospital.
Consequently there Is still a deficit
owed El Paso by the state work of
144.54. When that deficit arrives; El
Paso will have, as the results of -the
sales of the Red Cross seals for De-
cember, 1911, and December 1612,
1528.19, all of which Is to be used in
El Paso in the fight against tubercu-
losis.

Changes in' Mexican Cabinet
The rumor comes from Mexico City to the effect that
some very Important changes are impending In the Mex-
ican cabinet, and that the shakeup may be officially
announced within the next few days- According to the
same rumor, the Impending cabinet changes will mark
a very radical change In the government's policy, ant
If that is true, it doubtless mean* some heroic effort* to
bring about the early pacification of the country.
Under the reorganisation Plan of the cabinet, Gen.
Vlctortano Huerta Is said to be slated for the position
of minister of war, both on account of his familiarity
with the situation prevailing In the Northern and South-
ern portions of the republic, and In token of apprecia-
tion of the distinguished services rendered in hammer-
ing the filling out of the Orozco Red Flag bandit rehsl-
!li n- Gen, Angeles Garcia Pena, present minister of wav,
;* to be sent Into the state of Sonora at the head of a
considerable force for the purpose of bringing the rebe!-
ious Yaqul Indians to terms.
These changes in the Mextean cabinet and reported
change of policy on the pan of the government, are
doubtless superinduced by the strong pressure that la
being brought to bear on the Mexican government by
the United States government It Is said that while
President Taft has no apparent intention of reversing
the policy heretofore exercised toward Mexico, he is
determined that the closing hours of his administration
shall not be marked by nn apparent Indifference toward
the protection of Americans and American Interests
In that country. It Is for this reason that he Is pressing
Mexico more forcibly than ever before regarding the
necessity of extending the necessary protection and at
the same time, doing all that is possible to bring to a
summary close the reign of terror that Is prevailing
throughout so much of the republic. A Washington
dispatch says:
While President Taft does not Intend to re-
verse hls Mexican policy between now and March
4 he does not purpose to permit the Idea to gain
force In Mexico that because he Is soon to retire
from office he will henceforth he Indifferent to
American Interests In Mexico. With even more
vigor thun has heretofore been the case the out-
rages suffered by Americans In Mexico will he

ment. protection demanded and reservation made
of all rights to enter claims for damages.
It was disclosed today that persistent efforts
were being made by certain individuals In the
United Stales to induce President Taft to alter hls .
Mexican policy- Pressure Is being brought to bear
on the President, the Secretary of State and the
Attorney General In an effort to bring about a re-
laxation of the enforcement of the neutrality laws
on the border.
Ametloans with valuable properties In Mex-
ico are aiding In this movement, which is bcind led,

Urban and Rural Typhoid Fever
There seem* to be a wide-spread belief that typhoid
fever Is peculiarly a disease of small communities. The
regular autumnal increase In this disease In most cities
Is even referred by some writers to Infection contracted
during a vacation "in the country." Whatever the
Importance of "vacation typhoid"—and there Is reason
to luink It has been overestimated—there can be no
doubt that, contrary to popular opinion. In some loca’I-
tlea typhoid is more prevalent in urban communities.
The incidence of typhoid fever In city and country
oc mm unities In several New England states has been
recently studied by Sedgwick, Taylor and MacNult.
These authors conclude that as far as the state of Massa-
chusetts la concerned typhoid could not be said to be
a rural disease In the eighteen years prior to 1908. but
was on the contrary distinctly more Prevalent In urban
communities, in Connecticut a similar condition existed,
hut In New Hampshire It appeared that there waa no
marked difference in this respect between rural and ur-
ban groups. Before 1890. as these authors point out,
typhoid deaths In both Massachusetts and Connecticut
were more prevalent In proportion to the population in
the country than in the city districts.
It is not difficult to understand these results. Th#
death-rate from typhoid lever depends more son other
factor* than on city and country condition* as such. A
large city with polluted water supply may maintain a
constantly higher typhoid fever rate than the adjacent
country towns and rural districts. On the other hand
a city with a good water-supply, a pasteurised milk-
supply sad s proper system of disposing of excreta I
refuse will today almost certainly have lam typhoid
fever than the amaller communities in It* Immediate
neighborhood. Probably few places in ths United States,
large or small, will have so low a death-rate from typhoid
for'the year 1912 as Chlcego and Cleveland.
Improper methods of disposing of excreta in the
country, with the attendant danger of fly Infection.
Would seem to favor the spread of typhoid fever In rural
district*, but a counterbalancing factor Is the contact
