PRODUCTION OF ARID DESERT
Exposed to Excessive Heat Be-
coming Quite an Industry.

Vegetable wax appears to be a
product for which the arid desert is
specially adapted. AS a protection
against excessive evaporation, the
plants exposed to dry heat develop a
waxy covering, and British consular
note states that in the western part Of
Nuevo Leon and Coahuila, in Mexico,
the candelila weed yields two per
cent. of wax, although in we'll wa
cred regions it contains little or none.
The extraction of this wax is becom-
ng a considerable industry. Several
extracting establishments have been
recently started, and one OF them
now being enlarged-has a capacity
of % tons Of wax per month. There
are certain possible by-products, such
rs tannin, to which little attention has
been SO far given. The wax product
is exported to the United States, the
Britich Isles and Germany, and is in
demand for many purposes, such as
shoe polishes, floor wakes. phono-
graph records and electrical insula-
ton.

OPINION OF NOTED PHYSICIAN
Dr. Kelley of Johns Hopkins Hospital
Says Our Greatest Foes Are
Makers of Alcohol.

Had saloons never been discovered.
and were it then in my power to por-
tray the effects of such a discovery.
all men, without exception would de-
clare 1t impossible to conceive Of any
more diabolical plan for the degrade
ton and destruction of the human
race. Our greatest foes are the manu-.
facturers and distributors of alcohol.
The stories of injuries done by drink
are so written in the sad life history
Of many of our greatest men, are so
evident throughout our land In squa-
lor, poverty, misery, and crime, and
replete in prisons, warehouses; and
asylums. as well as in domestic infelic.
ity, that it is inconceivable that any
intelligent, rational man can deny the
necessity for strong, united action to
rid the land Of both manufacturer and

Christianity In China.

An army lieutenant held prayer
meeting in Red Cross hospital in
the intervals between fighting at Han
kow. At Shanghai society has been
formed, including many of the local
leaders, with the object of translat-
ing Christian belief into practical poll
tics under the new government; and
of its members, all Christians, one
of the most prominent is Alexander
Y. Ting, trained in an American Mis-
sionary college, NJ A and LII. B. of
Manchester university, barrister at
law of Lincolns Inn and doctor of law
by examination at the hands of the
late government in Picking.
To considerations like these add the
fact that at least one-third of the mem
bers of DR. Suns cabinet we're Chris
tians, and it is seen that Christianity
is already a force in China. One of
the five highest officials in the new
government recently received letter
of congratulation on his appointment
from a missionary of worldwide repu.
tation. In his reply he said that he
hoped that by obeying the voice of
heaven and the people he might be
able to help to establish q kingdom
Of God on earth and make the govern
ment OF the republic pure and RICH
teous"
These details may help one to real
ize what Christianity in China must
mean In the future.-Leslies Weekly.

FEWER CASES FOR JANUARY

WORK OF LAST TWO
TERMS SHOWS RESULTS
January Docket Today Contains Small

4ian.

Chiefly because Of the large number
of cases that was disposed of and TAX
en- from the docket OF the district
court by Judges Clarence Nichols and
B. F. Cummings during the two fall
terms, the January docket will be one
Of the smallest In several years. The
number OF cases disposed Of by the two
Judges during those terms was much
larger than those that have been begun
since the August term opened.
The docket for the January tern, is
being closed now by Clerk of Courts S.
H. Reilly. To date 1t contains total
of $50 cases of all kinds. This number
will, however, be increased before the
term opens. and after by the addition
of probate cases which may be Included
at any time.
Since the docket was closed for the
October term dfty-seven new civil
cases have been fled, and 260 were
carried over from the old docket. In
addition there are eighty-two probate
cases in the docket, making a total up
to this time OF 399. This number is
from 100 to 200 less than were in either
the August or october term dockets.
A few additional criminal cases may
be added by the grand jury, but the
number will very likely not be many.
The court docket at the present time is
in the best shape 1t has been in, judg-
ing by the number of cases it contains,
than it has been at any time for five or
more years. 1t promises speedier dis
posal Of both old cases and actions be-
gun more recently.

SAFETY OF UNDER.
SLUNC CONSTRUCTION
AGAIN PROVED
OVERRIDING CAR AND
REGAL TAKE PLUNGE
TOGETHER.
Latter Safe While Overriding
Turns Turtle.

A double accident near Detroit this
week furnished a most convincing
proof of the safety from turning turtle
afforded by underslung construction.
Much is claimed for this type of car
construction as a safeguard from this
not uncommon peril, but it Is seldom
that circumstances permit OF SO con-
elusive proof of the safety of the
undressing.
A party of Detroiter5 were taking a
pleasure drive the other evening in n
Regal Underslung touring car. The
party was some two or three miles from
the city and were just overhauling a
car ahead when around turn in the
road came another car headed towar.
them with headlights blazing. The
driver Of the car ahead, which was of
oyerhung build, became confused by
the glare of the approaching lights, and
drove into seven foot ditch at the
roadside. The car toppled ana rolled
over, throwing the passengers to the
ground, but fortunately injuring no one
seriously.
The Regal was right behind the
ditched car. and the driver hearing the
screams of the passengers ahead and
expecting a collision swerved to the side
and also plunged into the ditch.
The undressing, however, remained
upright during the descent and though
the passengers were given a good shak-
ing up, no one was thrown out. The
only injury the car sustained was a
broken fore wheel, which smashed
against the opposite bank.
The low center of gravity Of the
Regal is credited with holding the car
right side up.
