the beverage is clear, beady aud
delicious in flavor, though non-alcoho-

Owners of smelters in the northern
part of the country complain of lack
of laborers, such is the competition for
workmen, and it is suggested that the
government take measures to bring
Japanese into the country to supply
the lack of efficient labor. This policy
would undoubtedly meet general ap-
probation, and has been supported by
leading newspapers on the ground of
the racial affinity of the mass of Mex
lean people and the Japanese. Emil
grafton and colonization commissions
from Japan who have explored this
country thoroughly have favored the
state of Chiapas on the Guatemala
border for the colonization by their
reCDle.
