much of its scholarship and its sturdy
thrift to the Germans, it's conserv-
atism and culture to the English
and other estimable qualities to the
Swedes, Scots, etc., there is yet an
indefinite but substantial obligation
to the Irish. We believe we are a
nation of keen-witted people who
are quick to see and appreciate the
fun of things. Where do we get
that trait? From the Irish. Most
of US are happy-go-lucky individuals
with an energy for making money
second only to our energy for spend
ing it as fast as it can go through
our fingers. The Scotch shrewd-
ness has made US nation of traders,
but the disposition to mix" to
jolly and if necessary to fight for
trade comes from our seasoning of
Irish blood.
1t is not difficult to account for
such names as Don Ignacio O'Brien,
Ernesto Murphy and Miguel Nc
Carthy in the languorous Southlands.
Who can make love better than an
Irishman, and who feels less the re-
strictions of nationality or race?
Who is more cheerful or entertain
ing? An Irishman in any part of
the globe radiates sunshine and is
more welcome than a dozen gloomy
and phlegmatic immigrants from the
Continent. Of course, he is well
come in Mexico, as elsewhere.

is a natural sympathy between
Mexicans, South Americans and the
Irish which keeps them in harmony,
and the pretty Mexican girl of for
tune and blue blood is always willing
to mate with an eligible Irishman,
although she SHES at Americans and
Englishmen." The acting consul
further observes: In Mexico City
we have such names as Don Ignacio
O'Brien, Ernesto Murphy and Mi
guel Mccarthy"
Really there is nothing strange
about the standing of the Irish in
Mexico. The Irish are remarkable
people, in the fact that they are the
best mixers" in the world. The
Irish temperament has been the
leaven that has worked in the con-
glomerate mass of our own immi-
grafton and has stamped itself inef-
faceably upon the composite Amer

rheumatism of the muscles, due to
cold or damp weather or chronic

Can with ease.

Canning any sort of fruit or vegetable is made easy by use of the new Economy jar. Just how easy is to be found out by a visit to the demon stration now being given here.
 The Economy jar has. a large mouth, making it an easy jar to fill. It has straight sides and is of clear white flint glass. It is of good shape as well as good quality.
 But it's greatest feature is the method of sealing. There are no clamps to be fastened into place, no porcelain lined screw-tops. Instead a cap which is sealed into place without pressure, by the warmth of the jar itself and that will keep the jar alright for years, if desired.
 Every kind of meat and vegetables may be preserved in Economy jars and all are put up with equal ease.
 No, Economy jars are not an experiment. They have been tried and found satis- factory by many house wives.
