A certain Major Sammy Ship

speech in the Canadian parlia=

enlighten his colleagues about

Said enlightenment consisted
mainly Of the repetition OF an old

crews of American BaEtleshibs
are. made Up Of the destitute; the
socially and morally degenerate;
and the desefters from the navies

Young Joe Shugrde of New

gauge Shugrue's ability and ap-
peared to toy with him in the

Leach woke to the fact that he
was getting the trimming of his
life, worse than that given him by
Jack Britton, and found himself
unable to stem the tide of defeat.

WILEY IN DEFENSE OF BABES
"The Providence Adore Has Never
Yet Killed a Baby" Says
Doctor.

DR.. Harvey Wiley recently made a
strong plea for methods of education
and for the sort of legislation that
would insure to every child born into
the world it's rightful heritage Of
health and vitality.
He said that the Biblical words.
THE sins of the father shall be visit
ed upon the children, even unto the
third and fourth generation" should
be changed to read that the sins Of
parents are visited upon the children
forever, and that likewise the virtues
Of the parents are also transmitted.
A good heredity, he said. means. us
uaily, long and happy life.
Above ALL" said Doctor Wiley, Il
would like to live to see all the chill
dren of this country come into the
world with a good heredity. The
problem of youth and age goes far
back into that Of heredity. and in the
interest of society the state should
recognize this fact"

FIND USE FOR DESERT PLANT
Excellent Quality Of Wax Is Being
Produced From the Wild Can
delilla Of Texas.

Several factories for making wax
out of the wild oandelilla plant have
recently been established in western
Texas.
Experiments in making wax from
this desert plant were started in
Mexico a few years ago. On account
of the difficulty of refining the crude
product its value was not Immediately
recognized.
The weed is found in many parts of
northern Mexico and the first factories
were established there. Not long ago
a process was discovered for refining
the crude wax and regular shipments
are now being made to New York and
TO European countries.
The candelilla weed grows upon
land that was formerly considered
worthless. It is harvested by Mexi
can labor at low cost. The method
OF extracting the wax is simple and
cheap.

much used by the Beers. In common
with our own views. the Boer believed
that an umbrella gave a man an air
of distinction, though the shocking
specimens they carried, which remind

would not have been calculated to
possess this attribute among our own
countrymen. Where these umbrellas
