POIS0NS IN AIR and WATER.
The Very Fact That They Are I'm

Them tiae Moro Dangerous.

Nearly everybody is in great danger just
at this time"
The speaker was one of the leading physi
clans in New York.
with the malaria In the air and the danger
i'll the water" he continued, people need to
exercise the greatest caution and care. The
trouble with these things is that they come
unawaTeS and are often unsupported. The
germs of malaria ure drawn in by every
breath, the seeds of disease are spread by
each swallow of water"
The doctor looked thoughtful for a mo-
ment. and then continued, There is but one
way u prevent these dangers, and that Is TO
lie watchful. Instead of drinking iced
water and other things all the while, and i'll
place OF permitting hot and foul air 10
spread malaria i'll the system. people should
be watchtul and check these things on the
start.
There is but one way that this can be done
and that is by the use of some pure Stimu-
liant constantly or when the slightest feeling
of sickness appears. The only preparation
which has ever ieen known TO certainly coun-
ternct these troubles in time is that great,
that popular whiskey, Dutfy's Pure Malt. II
has been used by the public OF America for
over twenty years ana has proven its sur
passing merits only by what 1t has accom-
pl.Sned.
Ii men and women would counterlct the
Ceadly germs in the water at this season Of
the year by mixing Duffy's Pure Malt with

malaria. l, should be borne in mind. how
ever, that il is only Dutfy's Pure Malt Whis-
key that will accomplish this. and that how
ever much druggists or grocers may say TO
the contrary, it alone can he depended upon.

NIEXiCO's COTTON.

WASHINGTON. May 17.-Reports to

show that there are in the entire re-
public of Mexico about $4,000 hec-
tares two and a half acres each) dedi-
Gated to cotton growing, producing
SO.ooO.00o Kilograms (66. 1880 pounds),
in value about sls.O0O,0Oo. The quaint
~ OF cotton raised is far from being
sufficient to supply the demands of the
country. For this reason there are i'm.
ported annually from the United States
about 4.5OO.0O0 Kilograms 1920, zoe
pCunds), worth about S3.OOO.OOO. The
cotton zone of today includes all the
Gulf and Pacific states with the excep
ton of Yucatan, but the region bes,
adapted for cotton growing is La La
guiana, situated northwest of the state OF
Durango, and southwest of that oil
