Montgomery will make hard fight for

Among the southern cities that have

when the Panama canal is opened to traf-
fic. He Is convinced that 1t will greatly
develop the cotton industry in Peru and
that there will be after few years heavy
expectation of long staple or upland cot
ton, principally to Europe.
We had not thought in the United States
until recently of the possibility of great
development of cotton raising and even
of cotton manufacture upon the west
coast of South America. We have had re-
ports. some of which were made by the
experts who received commission from
Mayor Grace to look over the agricultural
lands of Peru east of the Andes noun
tains. These reports made no invention
of cotton. but did demonstrate that even
though there be falling off by and by of
wheat production in Canada or in the
United States, the wheat eating peoples
of the world need have no apprehension
because there are enormous tracts of vif-
gin soil especially adapted to wheat cul-
ture stretching eastward from the slopes
of the Andes mountains. When the de-
mand becomes sufficient, adequate trars-
portation from the coast to these great
wheat belts will be secured and it is not
entirely impossible that Peru may become
as great a wheat producing country by
the middle of the present century as is
any other nation.
By and by, too, the ranches of Peru will
be handled in a manner similar to that
now characteristic of ranches in Argen-
tina and Uruguay. Beef cattle can he
raised at very low cost in Peru.
American capital is going to Peru to be
invested in mining industries, as it has
already gone into Chile The Guggcn-
helms stand behind 800, 100000 of capital
which is to be invested in the exploita
ton of great copper mines of Chile, and
Charles NJ. Schwab and his associates have
invested millions in the iron mines of
Chile. American capital to the extent of
$50, 100000 is already invested in the cop
per industry of Peru, utilizing what in
the days of Pizarro were fabously rich
silver mines, no longer rich in silver, but
found to be very rich in copper.

LESSON V-PART III
The Eyes-Is Face Powder Injurious?
Daily Care of the Ewes

The eye. itself, needs daily care and an
eye-cup is as necessary as tooth brush.
Personally, I believe in pure, cold water,
but some occulists do not agree with me
and recommend that weak solution of
boracic acid should be used Ask your
druggist for a saturated solution, half
fill the eye-cup with this and add luke
warm water to make a comfortable tern
perature. Put the eye-cup against the eye
and throw the head back with the eye
open, letting the liquid flow over the en-
tire eyeball. Wash out the eye-cup before
using on the other eye.
An eye-cup costs but few cents and
after accustomed to its use you will not
feel that the daily toilet is complete
without it. Follow these directions for
massage and the care of the eyes, and it
will not be long before you are conscious
of preat ir1nrovenent
