SUMMARY OF TRAVELS
IN OLD MEXICO

Corpns Christi. Tex, March 30.
Four or FIVE days rest and drinking
in Of the gulf breezes has refreshed
the body and all are feeling pretty
good. In the series OF letters on Mex
leo IL has been the aim to picture the
country as n sight-seer describing the
objects OF interest, interesting cities
along with the historic and present
day environments, feeling that such
letters would prove entertaining and
IN way instructive. That we have
fallen short In many ways we will not
deny, but in the main those who will
follow in our footsteps. stop at the
same places with the object OF seeing
and learning. they will find everything
| about as we have depicted.
Now. after six weeks pilgrimage
and weeks rest we are able to size
up the country in very good shape.
And to start in, were we foot-looAe
and either with or without means, we
would steer clear OF Mexico. as there
Is little tnat appealed to us. On the
other hand there are those who are
making money In fact, we believe

are making money. There is no
Goubt but that those engaged In min
Ing operations have been fairly sue
cessful and. like other mining sec
tions, others have failed. The Amer
lean farmer would not be a success
In Mexico. Conditions are against the
farmer. It is only the large planta-
ion owner who relets his lands to
poems who make money. The surplus
products are hard to get to market.
Freight rates and duty eats up the
profits OF orange growing-almost
makes It impossible TO compete with

the face of the fact that the sweetest

oranges grown in the vicinity OF

And this rainy season Is said to be
the best time TO visit Mexico. as one
escapes the dust and the heat, the
altitude making summer months as
comfortable as winter with the mOls-
ture In favor of the summer. The
rain generally falls every day for an
hour or so and the rest OF tho time
It is pleasant. Were we to locate In
MEXICO and engage in farming and
fruit growing we would pick out the
country around Lake Chapalla-be-
tween lraputo and Guadalajara. The
climate Is more even and Is said to
be about the same the year around.
Where water can be obtained for ir-
rigatlon several crops can be raised
during the year. During the rainy
season irrigation Is not necessary

The banquet of the Butterflies" is the
name of charming waltz composed
BY Georgia Lambert. one of Topeka
popular young ladies. There is abso-
lutely no doubt about the merit of the
composition. Everyone who has heard
1t is enraptured with its piquant style
and captivating melodies. Miss Lam
bert certainly deserves the highest com
mendation for having produced one Of
the best waltzes which. has come to
the critical musicians notice for some
time, and we predict large sale for the
piece all over the United States. The
waltz has just appeared from the press

Why Take
Business Mme?

Are Your Nerves Constantly Strained
With Groundless Worries?
The cause of this tense condition is
in your stomach. Your food does not
digest properly. Nine-tenths of all
dyspepsia and Indigestion is of the
nervous type and the only certain cure
is to right the cause. TONES, brain
foods, bitters, etc.,-are mere temporary
stimulants. Your stomach and small
intestines have become deranged by
improper selection of foods, imperfect
masticatiOn and irregularity both as to
time and amount of eating.
