MExICASs are more apt in taking advantage q! the natural products ':i the soil than Americans The mescal plant is used t0 make a liquor much more healthful than the corn juice used in America. The cactus is used 10 also make sugar, and various kinds furnish & rich revenue for many States of the Mexican republic, where it is worked into fibre, which is exported to other countries to be manufactured into rope and cordage. All Ot these plants cover the great portion Of the southwestern part of the United States Tn fact, so superior is the plant in Arizona 10 that of Mexico that car loads of the raw material is gathered in Cochise county and shipped into Mexico 10 be worked up.
 In the United States nothing is con- sidered worth wearing, eating or drink ing unless it has an artificial flavor or appearance. Corn is raised to make whisky. barley is raised to make beer and beets and cane are raised to make sugar. About the only natural product that we use is timber, which for huuse-building and heating pur- poses is even giving way 10 paper boards for building purPoses and trans- parent stoves with a candle inside for h' ating the rooms We might well take few lessons from our neighbors to the south of us and utilize what nature has provided us with for the production Of many of the necessaries and luxuries of life. The cry of hard times and no resources is a lie and ont which is not at all complimentary 10 the Creator who placed these natural products at our disposal.
