r L PASO, Tex.-Manufacturing a

cooler than the suns rays and dry
tropical air would probably seem I'M
der the province of the magician to
the fastener. 1t is nevertheless
fact that from these ever-available
agencies the greater part, of the popu-
lation of Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico manufacture their own ice wa
ter. This not only serves for drink
ing purposes, but also provides an
efficient medium for the ordinary re-
quirements of refrigeration-for in
the cruder sections of the great south
west the artificial production of ice
is still trifle too costly to be feas-
ible.
The secret lies wholly in the con-
struetion of the little red receptacle
in which the water is placed. This is
simple Mexican creation, and in
thata language is called an ola. the

Red Cross Christmas Seals.
Arrangements for the sale Of Red
Cross Christmas Seals for 1910 have
been announced by the National AS
sociation for the Study and Proven

can Red Cross. "a Million for Tuber-
culosis" will be the slogan of the 1910
campaign. Two features of the sale
this year are unique and will bring
considerable capital to the tuberculo-
sis fighters. The American National
Red Cross is to issue the stamps as in
former years, but this organization
will work in close cooperation with
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, which
body will share in the proceeds of the
sales. The charge to local associa-
lions for the use Of the national
stamps has been reduced also from 20
per cent to 1914 per cent, which will
mean at least $4,000 more for tuber-
culosis work in all parts of the United
States. The stamps are to be desig
mated as RED Cross Seals" this year

Making Ice Water From the Sunshine

In northern Mexico ola making is a
very profitable industry to the in
habitants, who carry them over into
Arizona on the backs of burros
The ola Is made from a crude clay

this essential characteristic which con-
tafns the secret of the cooling process
1t Is filled with water and hung up,
preferably in some place which is ex.
posed to the wind if there be any.
The moisture seeps through the por-
GUS composition. The process is very
slow, and the moisture which exudes
evaporates into the receptive, dry at.
mosphere in such equable proportion
that scarcely more than a drop min
ute trickles away from the bottom of
the ola.
1t is this continuous and fairly rapid
evaporation which produces the cold
mediately the sides of the ola be-
come chilled, and the water within
grows gradually cooler In less than
an hour from the time the phenomena
is begun the water Is cold enough for
drinking purposes, no matter how
warm it might have been when pour
ed into the receptacle. Two or three
hours later it is cold enough to fill the
ordinary requirements of refrigeration
for bottled milk, butter and other
culinary necessities.

north Of Ireland many returned in
1612-20s and to America their descend

American liberty.
The immigrant, or pilgrim father,
Nathaniel Shannon, born 1866, in Lon
donderry, was of Scottish ancestry.
When 80 years old he came to this
country and made his home at Boston,
where in 1701 he was a member of the
Old South church. twenty-five years
later he died and the stone marking
his grave in the old Granary burying
ground, fremont street, Boston, is still
standing. Nathaniel's brother, Robert,
was mayor of Londonderry 1859 and
Nathaniel was also a man of affairs,
holding many town offices. He was
the first naval officer of the port of
Boston and a merchant of prominence.
The papers now preserved in the
Massachusetts state archives show
that he was man of good education.

PRESSED HARD,
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the In
furious effects of coffee and the change
In health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in a Southern state says: my moth
er, since her early childhood, was an
inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for a number
of years and complained of that weak
all over feeling and sick stomach.
Some time ago I was making an Of
fetal visit to distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. l noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum. l was so
pleased with it that, after the meal was
over, I bought package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked it so well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
Il know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam.
ly, but in more marked degree in
he case Of my mother, as she was a
victim of long standing"

Booth Family

Bottle, Boothe, la Boothe, de
Boobies, de la Boothe, Bouthe are old
forms of the name Booth. "The dis
tinguished Booth family" is the refer
ence in one record.
The name Booth was assumed by
those who possessed the "lordship of
Boothes," in Lancashire. Adam de
Boobies of the county palatine Lam
caster, thirteenth century, is perhaps
the first of the name of whom any rec
ords exist. He was descended of a
Norman family of rank that went over
with the Conqueror. The people who
didn't go over with William the Nor
man, or came over in the Mayflower.
have much to answer for. However,
we need not give pause to this matter,
but leave 1t to descendants who feel
aggrieved by lack of foresight upon
their ancestors part. The derivation
of the name Booth is from bowes,
meaning house, or temporary build
lng-a booth.
In low Latin, the word is botha.

married Sibill or Sybil, daughter of
Gilbert de Brereton, of the ancient
family of Chester, the capital of
Cheshire. OF Sir John Booth, the
sixth in descent from Adam de
Boobies, we know that he had 10
children and two wives. A brave
man! 1t was Sir Felix Booth who fit

in whose honor Capt Sir James Ross

A choice of several pilgrim fathers
is offered. The Stratford Comm set
tier, 1910, was Richard Booth, from
Bowden, Cheshire; the Southold Il.
- pilgrim, also 1910, and from Chesh-
ire, was John Booth. Six years later
we find Robert Booth helping to found
the town of Exeter, N. H. He, too,
was Of the Cheshire branch, and we
