tlrely different from that used or to be used by the company operating in San Luis Potosi. The gentleman states that they have long passed the experimental stage and have produced rubber from the above plant quite as good for many purposes as that ob' tained from the rubber tree. It is not as fine nor does it possess the same elasticity as the best Brazilian rubber but when vulcanized it answers just as we'll for many purposes. The shrub from which it is made grows all over the otherwise barren portions Of the plateau states in unlimited quan- titles. Hitherto it has been deemed absolutely useless as not even a ourro or goat will graze on 1t and If the present operations prove a success 1t will be just that much clear gain for the country. A suitable building has been leased in Monterey for his manu- facture into rubber and more will be heard of the matter shortly.

 Mexican Herald: The ladies Of ? Orizaba have decided to perform va rious acts of charity with view of commemoratng the end of the nine- :: teenth century and the beginning Of the twentieth. It has been de- cided in the first place to give a dln- ner to the poor and Christmas tree for poor children and to found room with sewing machines to be used free ty the poor class of women. In addi tion it has been decided to seek out the oldest and poorest woman in the city whom the ladies will take under their protection and maintain in com comfort for the rest of her days.
 Mexican Herald: The sad intelli- gence was received in the city yester- day that Mrs. Beatriz Redo de Zaldi- var had died in Paris. No particulars were given but the news seemed quite authentic. The heartiest coincidence will be offered to the parents of the esteemed lady, Senator Joaquin Redo and Mrs. Redo, in the irr rreparable loss sustained Mrs. Redo de Zaldiyar was in every way an ornament to Mex jean society, owing to her beauty, ex- zreme sweetness of disposition and many accomplishments. lThe lady was well known in Sonora and Siualoa, .her father being senator in the Mex jean congress from the latter state.

 Mexican Herald: The department of communications of the Mexican government has just issued some very important rules as to what constitutes baggage Since the new railroad law went into effect last year the various rai.rLad companies have had some trouble with the baggage proposition as there was no clear definition as tC what was to be received as baggage The government has now decided the matter by forwarding to the railroad companies communication in which the various articles which may be re ceived as baggage are described Amung the articles are trunks, valises bundles of clothing for the passengers personal use, invalid chairs, miners kits, bicycles, baby carriages, engi neering instruments and tripods, photographic instruments and trl- pods, etc.

Big Crowd at Ocean View This
Week.

Each night this week the pavilion at
Ocean View has been packed with peo-
pie who went down especially 10 wit
ness the high class vaudeville show be-
ing presented there this week. Mana
ger lie Faucheur comes pretty near
knowing what the people here like in
the way or summer amusement, and
the clever vaudeville bills that he has
been presenting at this place during the
summer have attracted thousands who
probably would not have otherwise
gone down. The shows are always
clean and refined and have had amongst
them some of the very best acts among
the vaudeville profession--acts that
have not heretofore played summer re-
sorts or parkS-but have confined them
selves to higher class vaudeville thea
tres. such at Keiths. Proctors, etc. The
audiences at Ocean View nightly are
composed of the very best class of Deo-
pie. and 1t is quite the fad now to have
n ride to the View and enjoy for an
hour and half the performance.
Manager lie Faucheur is very parti-
cular as to the class of performers and
acts that he has at his place, and no
one need be afraid of seeing or hearing
anything Objectionable. The manage.
ment. approaching the fact that the
audience is made up. especially in the
afternoons, of ladies and children, is
very particular in knowing that what
they are going to see and hear is ali
right.

KNOWLEDGE OF FOOD
Proper Selection of Great Importance In
Summer.

The feeding OF infants in hot weather
is very serious proposition. as all
mothers know Food must he used
that Will easily digest, or the undi-
Gested parts will be thrown into the
intestnes and cause sickness
1t is important to know that n food
can be obtained that is always safe:
that is Grape Nuts.
~ mother writes: MY baby took the
first premium at a baby show on the
Sth instant. and is in every way n prize
baby. l have fed him on Grape Nuts
since he was five months old. I also
use your Postum Food Coffee for my
SELF Mrs. l.. +. Fishback, Alvin. Tex.
Grape Nuts food is not made solely
for baby food by any means, but Is
manufactured for ell human beings
who have trifing. or serious. difficulties
in stomach and bowels.
One especial point of value is that
the food is predigested in the process
of manufacture. not by any drugs or
chemicals whatsoever. but simply by
the action of heat. moisture. and time.
which permits the diastase to grow
and change the starch into Crane
sugar This presents food TO the sys-
tenn ready for immediate assimilation.
Its especial value as n food. beyond
the fact that it is easily digested. Is
that 1t supplies the needed elements to
quickly rebuild the cells in the brain
and nerve centers throughout the body.

BREEDING SHEEP SCARCE.
Shcep--A Condition TINT Can
Not Last Forever.

A few years ago there was plenty
of sheep on the western and southern
ranges that could he purchased for
few dollars head, but if somebody
has been in the field trying to Pur-
chase herd, ne will find that they are
now relatively scarce. l recently made
a tour through the southern states to
find common sheep at fair bargain
price, and it was almost impossible to
buy more than few head at time,
some here and some there. Every
farmer and sheep owner seems to re-
alize the value of sheep, and prices for
common breeds have advanced two or
three times what they were few years
ago. The same is true in the west end
northwest, and it is almost impossible
to pick up large herd in any part of
the country.
This peculiar condition of the sheep
industry is bound not to last forever,
and in time common sheep will go
down again as the numbers increase.
The prosperity Of nearly every indus
try goes in waves, and one must be
prepared to take advantage of the
boom at the right time. While nearly
all the common sheep in the land are
required now for breeding purposes,
it will follow that the demand for the
future will center more and more
around the improved and well-bred
sheep. The owner Of every flock has
it within his power to make his sheep
pay him well without risk, but if he
keeps them merely as a speculative i'm
yestment he will not make much. 1t
will be necessary for him to breed
them to n higher standard, so when
the time comes for selling he has eth
er good mutton OF producing ami
mails. The common, everyday scrub
stock have been bought up to form the
| basis of the new flocks, because there
was not sufficient numbers of we'll
bred sheep in the land to meet the
sudden boom.
What we needed to do to make these
investments of scrub or inferior stock
profitable is to breed with some salts
factory mates. Shropshires, South.
downs, Cheviots or Dorsets bred to
gc6d native sheep will produce ami
mails that will hold their own in the
future markets. We need good, high
bred rams just now fully as much as
the native common sheep, and unless
satisfactory crosses are obtained, there
VIII he little gain made by those wht
