Still, on Monday morning, tlie gov ernment troops appeared to control all l he principal squares of tilt* city. Then came a period when it was im jH.ssihie to distinguish one side from the other. There was no definite line In-tween til.- factions. Tlie turning point appeared to como about A o'clock in tin* afternoon. For two hours the opposing regiments pas sivelj .-otifri !.ted each other along tlie wide l.iteiny prospec) in almost com plete silence. From time to time emissaries from tin- revolutionary side rode to tlie op posing ranks and exhorted them to join the side of the people. For a while tin- result seemed to hung in the balance. Tlie troops appeared Ir resolute. awaiting the commands of their oti, . rs. who themselves were in doubt as to what they should do. Desultory tiring continued along tlie side streets betv.'een groups of govern \t tnx.ps and revolutionists, but ■In- r. g ' . tits upon whose decision tlie outcome rested still confronted each ..tiler v.itit machine guns and rifles in readiness.

Onmhu.—Alfalfa us human food in both solid and liquid forms is fast coining to the front, according to W. W. Kirby of IVnver. who is vice pres ,dent of a conipany that is preparing to manufacture alfalfa health foods. “The cost of human living will be reduced by the use of alfalfa as food,’ he asserts. “1h addition, alfalfa is eery nourishing, being richer in pro tein than wheat, and is far more healthful than bran. It can be made ,nto all sorts of food. pie. cake, cook ies. crackers, syrup and substitutes for tea. coffee and soda fountain 3 rinks.” Even a substitute for plug chewing tobacco can he made from alfalfa. Kirby asserts, whicli will be benefle al rather than harmful to its users.
