This harmless vegetable liquid
has proven so satisfactory a Ilv-

the place of caIomeI without any
restriction of habits or diet,
that there are dozens Of prepar-
atoms springing up with irnita-

But Dodson's Liver Tone is
guaranteed to do all that is
claimed for it, and if you are not
satisfied with it, the druggist

PORCELAIN DUE TO ACCIDENT
How the Process Of EnameIIns Was
Discovered by Chinese Workers
About 200 g. c.

Near the year 206 b. c., in the be-
ginning of the dynasty Of Han, some
workers In earthenware set their pots
IN the oven to bake, and forgot them.
When they remembered them and
opened the oven doors they found that
the pots we're vitrified In shining
spots. In this way the enamehng OF
porcelain was discovered. Wnen
freed Of its dross the substance grew
lighter, become clear. and acquired
a grain as fine and smooth as vel
vet and thin. hard. translucent BODY
that rang like bell.
The art of monochromatic glazing
was discovered in the time Of the
dynasty OF Sung (960-1280 B. c..
Occasionally the action Of the IRE sep
arated the pigments and produced e1-
cessive richness Of color. The Mon
col invasion checked the progress OF
ceramic art. In 1868 Tai-Tsu. the
son Of day laborer. dethroned the
emperor and founded the dynasty Of
Ming, whose reign persisted until
1914. Tai-Tsu lost no time In restor-
ing the imperial manufactures. He
gave the national mandatory the
monopoly Of the work in porcelain. ex-
cepting nothing but the white pottery
manufactured by the artisans Of
Tehua. Under the new impetus all
the ancient methods were revived and
perfected. The system OF three-color

tminary firing, dates from the re-
naissance Of art under the Ming dy.

The Frontier of the United States.
On the other hand. Mexico Is now to
take the part of our great west. IT
is to be the frontier OF the United
States. and with settled conditions the
big estates Will gradually be divided.
Many OF them Will go into the hands
OF bona fde development companies
and Will be accessible to American
settlers. Such will be The Mexican
part OF the Imperial Valley, which Is
70 have It's share OF the waters of tho
Colorado River for irrigation. The
lands there are as rich as the Valley
of the Nile. and quite equal to those
now being worked in the United
States
There are also large tracts of low
lands near the coast, which will be
opened to tho growing of coffee and
bananas and other tropical fruits, and
there are already some profitable trop-
ical estates operated by American
syndicates. Just before the revolution
airy troubles began American planters
were coming in by the hundreds, and
settling the coast lands near the Ca
rihbean Sea. Many had holdings nea,
Tampico, others had bought timber
lands farther south. some were pro-
SpSSeiAiS 1oi pcbicleuHl ANQ some were

I say there were many of these In
vestors. The torn is only comparative
The permanent American residents Of
Mexico at that time were not more
than 10000. which Is a small number
compared with the total population
here. which is about I6Oo0,ooo.
To-day thousands OF these Americans
have left. Others have stayed and sent
their families home, and still others
have given up in despair on account of
the unsettled conditions Indeed I
doubt that there are more than $4,000
or 10000 Americans living in Mexico
to-day.
Chances for Young Men.
There IS no opportunity for young
man here without capital ard 1t seems
TO me there will be but little for a long
Time to come. The common labor Is
done by the Indian. who works for
one-third OF one fifth what the ordi-
nary day laborcr OF the United states
receives. and the wages OF mechanics
are not one third those of the United
States. There arc no chances for
clerks or petty bookkeepers. There
are many young Me1icans who can
keep Books, and they can sell goods
as well as we can and Will do It at
one-third our wages.

ability that command high prices 1

stock raising, he needs a considerable
tract. The pasturage on the high
lands is thin, and the range must be
much more extensive than in our coun-
try. AT present the cattle are poorly
fed. and they are usually small II is
estimated that II costs less than IS
IN gold to fatten a steer. ! am told
That there is money In sheep and goat
raising. and that swine do very well
and never have cholera.
New Farm Methods Needed.
AS to grain farming. there is plenty
OF room for scientific agriculture Corn
grows everywhere. but the average is
less than fifteen bushels per acre
whereas II might be az much az in the
best parts OF the States. There is a
big local demand for corn. The pres
ent methods are rude. and the corn Is
shelled out by hand Still IL Is the
staple food Of two-thirds OF the people
and the Price for a number of years
past has been double that of the United
States. 1t is the same with wheat
