that the cadelilla contained wax to
the amount OF 81 to ~ per cent.
He gathered a supply OF the plants
and began experiments with a view
OF arriving at a process of economical
extraction of the wax. He perfected
this process a few months ago and
it is now in practical operation.
The manufacture OF this vegetable
wax Is already on a paying CONNER
cial basis. The demand for the pro-
duct comes at this time chiefly from
Germany The present price OF the
wax in Mexico is $500 gold ton.
1t Is said that It takes about thirty
tons OF the weed to make one ton OF
the crude wax. The coast OF produc-
ing a ton ,Ne wax is $75 gold.
The land upon which the candelilla
weed grows profusely Is producing
a big revenue in the localities where
factories have been established. It
is said that where land is well set
in the plant It can be made to yield
profit OF 5000 to $500 gold an acre
year.
The candelilla wax is said 20 be
udi uSI ludH any OLueT wax. his
fact has caused it to be in demand for
the manufacture Of photograph rec
ords, pharmaceutical articles. warn
ishes, shoe. leather and wood lpolishes.
insulation in electrical wiring, gums,
candles and many other things.
The fact that the guayule shrub and
the candelilla plant are now known
to contain valuable commercial pro-
perties has aroused the interest Of
the Federal authorities of Mexico and
1t is said that a series OF chemical
experiments and tests of the various
other desert plants which cover great
stretches OF land in northern Mexi-
co will be made under the direction
OF the Government with the view OF
discovering any commercial proper
ties that they may contain. One point
which grows profusely along the Rio
Grande is called gubernador and is
being used extensively for the manu-
facture Of a boiler compound. There
are also two or three kinds of shrubs
and weeds which possess cleansing
properties almost identical in effect
with washing soap. The roots OF one
Of these shrubs are used by the ma
tive MeXicans to the exclusion OF
manufactured soap.-New York Sun.

SEA FOOD AND TYPHOID.
oyster Beds Being Mapped and Ex-
amined by state Board.

Although the earliest outbreak OF
typhoid fever attributed to the eat
ing of oysters was reported in 1916
and, especially since 1880, many 9TH
er cases have been placed on rec
ord, but little is as yet known posi-
lively upon which a determination OF
the sanitary conditions of shellfish
can be based.
Nor has there yet been establish
ed definite relation between any
estimated pollution of water or of
shellfsh and the disease producing
liability of such polluted water or
shellfsh. The evidence connecting
the eating of polluted oysters with
outbreaks of typhoid fever cannot,
however, be questioned.
In the United States the most not.
able examples OF such epidemics
were those at Middletown. Conn, and
at Atlantic City. The Monthly Bull
letin OF the New York State Depart
ment of Health in reviewing the sub
ject refers to the conclusions OF the
British Sewage Disposal Commission.
This commission. according to the
Medical Journal, concluded that
considerable number of cases of en-
teric fever are caused by the con
sumption OF shellfish which have been
exposed to sewage contamination,
though an accurate determination of
the number OF such cases was nat
urally not possible.
The most careful studies and in
vestigation OF actual conditions are
necessary before any positive con.
domination or trustworthy certifca-
ton Of oyster beds can be made. Such
an investigation is now being car
ried on by the State board and data
are being secured as TO the pollu
ton OF the streams tidal waters,
etc, I'm the waters adjoining Long
Island and Staten Island, which com
prise the oyster cultivation districts
in this state.
The location and extent of all beds
have been mapped out. visits to the
beds have been made and 12s sam
pies OF water and 2O4 samples of
oysters have been examined bacteria
logically. The results OF the studies
in the field and I'm the laboratory are
I'm accord. but the work is still pre-
liminary and the department is not
yet prepared TO pass judgment.
That unrestricted pollution OF the
waters OF the 9tate should cease IS,
however, evident and the policy Of
tine Department OF Health i'm prevent
ing I'm so far as it has the power the
discharge of raw or ineffectively
treated sewage into these waters
will be continued and extended

MEN EASILY UPSET AT HOME.
How Mrs. BiIItops Dusts Mr.. BIS

Mrs. Billtops was at that moment
engaged in tearing the parlor apart
and moving everything out into the
adjoining dining room, preparatory to
what she calls a thorough sweeping

prompted. by Mr.. Billtops' exclaimlng.

Arundale'S
Heir

"Mr. Arundale would like to see
you, sir"
Jack Lindsay sprang at once to his
feet.
When they reached the sickroom
he went up to the bedside.
Il hope you are better. SIR he said
gently, land that the pain Is easier"
The sick mans eyes flashed open.
WHO told you was suffering
pain?" he asked sharply. What do
you know about my illness?"
Nothing, sir" Lindsay answered
in some surprise. "Watson's tele-
gram merely said that you were Ill
and wished to see me. / have heard
nothing further, except that Watson
told me he believed you had been
suffering very great pain"
Mr.. Arundale gave a faint sigh
You'd better get a rest; nurse" he
suggested; my nephew will give me
the medicine IL require it."
Mr.. Arundale lay still until the
sound of her footsteps had died away
down the corridor.
Bring up a chair, Jack" he com.
manded, "close to the bed. I'm going
to ask a favor OF you"
Anything l can do"-Lindsay be-
gan, but his uncle interrupted him.
People always say that" he re-
turned impatiently, "but directly you
ask them to do anything particular
they are full of excuses. Still, per.
haps you mean it. The truth is, Jack,
I'm played out. come to the end OF
my tether. may live a month, | can't
live longer"
I'm very sorry, sir" Lindsay said
earnestly.
His uncle looked at him keenIy.
"I'm sure I don't know why you
should be-" he said, coldly; you'll be
a good deal better Off when I'm dead
than you are now. And, please. don't
interrupt me again.
Il was telling you" Mr.. Arundale
resumed after a seconds pause, that
have got, at the outside, a month to
live have had to endure a good
deal of pain the last few days. and I
expect II will mean a good deal more
before the end, and well, to cut It
short, I'd sooner die at once and be
done With Il. The doctor and the
nurse won't help mother profes-
sonal credit is at stake. you see,
they've got to keep me alive to the
last possible moment but you'll help
me, won't you. Jack?

whittier than the sick mans.

Something must be done before
It's too late Lindsay said quickly.
"I'll call the nurse"
He moved toward the bell, but Eric
Wynford sprang across the room and
stood in the way.
"Confound YOU" he muttered furi-
ously, cant you leave well enough
alone? He asked me himself to give

tered hurriedly. "He-he told me It
took effect at once"
Involuntarily Lindsay paused and
looked at the bed. Indeed, Mr.. Arun-
dale might well be dead, so still and
stiff he looked. 'T must call the
nurse" he said, firmly, finging of his
cousins grip.
Eric Wynford glared at him with
blazing eyes.

You were alone with him first"
Tell what story you please" he
said curtly 1T may be too late, but

determinedly toward the door, when
harsh voice arrested him.
Don't trouble" 1t said quietly.
With simultaneous cry both men
faced round toward the bed.
Mr.. Arundale had raised himself on
his pillows and was watching his
nephews with wide open eyes. AS he
met their Mortified stare he began to
chuckle softly.
Its been very amusing to listen to
you BOTH" he continued, 'and very in
structive, too" he added dryly. "You
see. could rot bring myself to divide
the property, so / decided one Of you
should have Lynwood, while the
other got an increased allowance. l

Lynwood to the right man"
Eric Wynford made an attempt to
speak, but no sound issued from his
lips.
His uncle glanced at him dispas-
sionately.
Eyes. admit it was rather hard to
put you to such a severe test" he
said coldly, land I shall leave you
something as a slight compensation
for having played this little comedy
at your expense. You see, dying
