Certain economic factors operate
against the highest exploitation of tin
in Bolivia, namely, the necessarily
heavy freight charges, the dependence
on the price of Straits tin, the export
duty and the f1uctuation of the Bolivian
money In times these handicaps will

product of Bolivia is rubber the an
nual export value of which is estimated
at 100000. The exploitation Of the
rubber lands is regulated by law
through an annual export tax.

Pay Girls to Paw Over Waste Baskets

Unique among government Jobs
~ is that Of the two women who sit
side by side down in the basement of
the treasury department and spend
the entire day going through the con-
tents of the department waste bas-
kets. They are searching for stray
bonds, checks and bills that may
through some mishap have fallen
into the baskets. The positions of the
two women are more important than
their place on the treasury rolla would
indicate, for some time back one of
them fshed up a $4,000 United
States coupon bond. The two women
have been doing this work for years

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. would scratch those places
until they would bleed before I could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh I'M
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
1t would waken me from my sleep,
and I would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced it "dry
eczema" used an ointment which
rthe doctor gave me, but it did no good
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
scura Remedies. As this trouble has
been in our family for years, and is
considered hereditary, I felt anxious
to try to head it off. I got the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what needed.
''The disease was making great
headWay on my system until got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin of the great pest
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, have never felt
any of its pest, and am thankful to

Adding Two More Stars to the Fla

as they have a great deal of leisure
time the sailors manage to do their
own official needlework when the
flags are called in for the addition OF
stars and the Encouragement Of the
field of stars.
The addition of one star to the flag
sometimes proves an easy task. The
amount of work involved depends
upon the position Of the stars already
on the flag. If there is room at the
bottom of the last row of stars for
the addition of another then 1t Is
merely a matter Of adding that extra
star and this is comparatively easy
job But the field of stars seldom
lends itself in that kind of manner
to the work of adding additional
stars. The symmetrical arrangement
Of the stars is matter of the utmost
Importance and this requires much
much thought and skill on the part
of the officials to whom is entrusted
the work Of designing a field with
the extra stars added.
The first work when the design OF
the new flag has been sent out to the
arsenals, is to rip off the stars that
have to be placed in different posi-
tons. This work is done by rows of
women who are armed with sharp
pointed knives. They place the star
to be removed on padded base that
holds the cloth taut. Then they care
fully rip out the stitches until the
star Is removed. This work goes on
for weeks and sometimes months, for
all the flags in the country must be
rearranged. AS the stars are ripped
off they are dropped in baskets and
not used again, new stars being sewn
on to replace the discarded ones. The
new stars are cut by means of die.
