For Pure MhiSkeY.

Beginning upon the first of July
that section of the Pure Food law
which relates to whiskey became eff
fective in fact, and from now on the
man who Communes with John Bar
leycorn will be able to tell by a
glance at the label whether it is
really whiskey he is drinking for one
of the many vile concotions which
have for years masqueraded under
that name. The delay in enforcing
this section of the law resulted from
an uncertainty as to just what con-
stituted whiskey, the department ex-
pert, DIR. Wylie, holding a greatly
different view from that of the dis
tillers. After due elaboration, the
attorney general has issued an opin-
ion supporting DR.. Wylie, and all
whiskey hencetorth will be divided
into four kinds-straight, blended,
compound and imitation. Straight
whiskey is from one distillatiOn of
pure grain kept in bond long enough
to age naturally and containing no
other ingredients. Where several
straight whiskeys are combined, the
result is called blended. The mix
ture of whiskey, neutral spirits,
coloring matter and favoring is called
compound. Imitation whiskey is
made of alcohol water, coloring and
havoring, usually prune juice, and
contains no real whiskey at all.
Incidentally, the proper labelling
of whiskey Will greatly diminish the
evil effects heretofore chargeable to
its consumption, since it is well
known that the banetul effect of
good whiskey is practically nil in
comparison with the havoc wrought
upon the system by taking into it
various poisonous concotions of high
wine, fusel oil, etc. If whiskey must
be taken, let it be in moderation and
of pure quality, so that the minimum
of harm may result.

cal survey, in report just published

them a number of radioactive ma

creasing practical Importance.
Among the rare earth minerals at
Baringer hill are fergusonite, gado-
Unite, polycrase, ytrialite and cyrtro-
lite.
The economic interests in these
of their oxides on being heated.
This property makes them available
for use as glOwers in gas and electric
lamps. Thoria, bery.lia, yttria and
zirconia are the most useful minerals
employed for this purpose. Until the
discovery of the deposits at Baringer
hill it was practically impossible to
get sufficient yttria bearing minerals
to manufacture mantles for electric
glow lamps, but fergusonIte and
gadolinite with lesser amounts of
cyrolite and other minerals contain
ing yttria, occur here in quantities
large enough to meet the demand.
The Nernst Lamp company owns this
valuable deposit, but its needs require
only the occasional workings of the
mine. After enough yttria miners
are obtained to supply its wants for
several months the mine Is closed.
Only a few hundred pounds a year
are extracted.
The geologic island in which Bar
niger hill is located is Interpreted
with other mounds and bikes of SINH
lar appearance, which have been
considerably prospected, but without
much success. Mr.. Hess states that
as these rare earth minerals consti-
tute only a small fraction of one per
cent. of the total mass commercially
large amounts may exist in dixie
and not be exposed at the outcrop,
but suggests that cracks that gen
orally surround the nucles OF the
minerals may be utilized in pros
pecting.
In mining the ore of the larger
pockets of Baringer hill the hands
and face of the miners have been eff
fected as if by sunburn, due, possi-
bly, to the radio activity of the min
erals.

Should current reports be substan-
tiated, the Consolidated Cananea in
terests are likely to come into posses
sion of one of the richest copper
properties ever developed in the
southwest. The evidences all point
to the conclusion that Arizona is now
ready to forge to the front as cop
per producer and establish new
records that will leave past produc-
ton figures in the shade. In the
meanwhile the demand of the large
shelters for fiUxing ores has become
increasingly urgent, and the ores of
this character that are being taken
from the Mansfield copper property a
short distance to the north of Can
anea are stated by engineers to be
admirably adapted for the proposed
deal, but will likely be well satisfied
to hold the property in their own
hands at least for several years to
come. The property is now splendid
ly equipped and is said to be practi-
cally ready for the period of con-
tinuous and heavy prOduction.-Re-

it's enclosures in reference to the
conditions of the Chinese in Hawaii.
81 thank you for the great amount
of information placed at my disposal
by your letter and the clippings, and
appreciate your courtesy in writing
me-"
Another friend of the Chinese, in
Washington, DIR. w. F. Crafts, sends
the following:
81 am very glad to get all your
documents and 1 am planning to in
troduce the bill in the beginning of
the winter session when the elections
are out of the way providing for d
limited immigration of Orientals to
the Philippines where Mr.. Worcester
told me they we're needed in three
provinces, and to Hawaii and the
canal zone. 1 think 1 shall provide
in the bill that no more than twenty
FIVE thousand of any one race shall
be admitted within the jurisdiction
of the United States within one
year, and in that way 1 hope 1 can
secure the proper regulation of the
whole question of immigration on
scientific basis, cutting down the
number of Italians and SO increasing
the number that will come from
northern Europe. This will prepare
the way for making the restriction
of immigration more a matter of
quantity and quality than matter
of invidious race discrimina tion.''

by the Chinese customs cruisers out

supplies into China for revolutionists.
The statement is made by officials
in the Chinese government that con
spiracy is on foot to import 1000 OF
5000 rifles and ammunition therefor
and the government believes that the
munitions on the Tatsu Maru were in
tended for rebels on the Tonking Dor

1t is a matter OF common observation
that grass does not grow so well close
to trees as In the open. The same Ia
true Of grains. Experiments In Eng
land and In this country have shown
that the deleterlous effects Of the neal
neighborhood OF grass and trees ar
mutual. The trees suffer as well az
the grass and grain. This Is especially
true Of fruit trees. The cause Is as
cribed to the excretion by the trees
on the one hand, Of substances poison
Gus to the grass, and by the grass, on
The other hand, of substances poison
Dus to the trees. 1t thus appears that
the failure of grass to grow well near
trees should not be ascribed to too
much shade, nor to the exhaustion by
the tree roots Of the food supply need
