MexicO's vast mineral treasure house
was tapped by the greatest mining
companies of the world. American and
British railroads were built to the
mines and Mexico became the first sill

"Giving Mexico Away
The custom of awarding concessions
to foreigners with the capital and abil-
ity to develop resources supposedly be-
yond the capabilities of AIeXicans
flOurished during the entire Diaz reg

the concession hunt. The critics of the
old president declared that he was Civ
ing Mexico away to foreigners.
Foreign capital, therefore, developed
modern Mexico, but the prosperity
thereby produced was not equitably
spread among the 100000 citizens.
Great extremes of wealth and poverty
were typified in the hacendados who
controlled veritable territories Of rich
land and the pathetic poems who could
scracely acquire enough soil to raise
the necessaries of life. Diaz surrounded
himself with strong men. As the
golden stream of investment flowed
in they grew wealthy by methods
which brought to them the sobriquet
of "cientificOs," so scientific" had
they become in the particular science

As in all other parts Of the worlG,
the cost of living advanced in Mexico
and produced discomfort. since there
was no compensatory advance in wages
for a large part of the population. The
evils Of exterded tenure were accent

years rendered him insensible to the
unrest rapidly developing in the north

EFFICIENCY IN THE KITCHEN

EFFICIENCY IN THE KITCHEN
Efficiency engineers have done much
to reduce wasted effort in the shop
and factory. and domestic engineers
are trying to do as much for that
greatest and most important OF all
factOrieS-the kitchen.
Kitchen cabinets have brought with
in easy reach scores Of things that
formerly were scattered all about thu
kitchen and housewives and cooks
have thereby been saved thousands of
tiresome steps. But dishWashing has
ever been the hardest and most hope
less of kitchen tasks
A domestic engineer has recently
attacked this problem Of drudgery by
inventing a kitchen sink and drain
board which has a swinging seat at
tached to the leg of the sink When
working this seat is pulled out and IL
IS easy TO wash the dishes and put
them on the drainbOard while sitting.
When out Of use the seat swings back
under the drainbOard and. therefore.
occupies no space otherwise useful.

The Mexican constitution IS a mas

equality of opportunity among all cit

the custom Of Struggling silence which

Former President Visits "FactOrieS" of New Works East Side-IS
 IncenSed at Conditions.

New York, Jan. 30.-Theodore Roosevelt, former president, drawn by pitiful stories he had heard about the hardships of the girls and young women who manufac- ture wrappers and kimonos in the dingy East Side factories" made a personal tour of inspection re- gently. He visited two of the meet ing places of the strikers and in- terviewed several scores of them, listening with interest to the stories they told.
 When he came away the colonel sadly shook his head and was heard to murmur:
 Its terrible to see the way the lives of the future mothers of our country are being crushed out"
 As a result of his investigation the colonel said he would ask State Senator Sallant to introduce a measure asking for a legislative in- vestigation of the conditions which exist in these factories.

Columbia, s. c., Feb. 2,-Recom- mendation that farmers of the south devote more attention to the raising of hogs and cattle and the growing of forage crops was made here yesterday by James Wilson, United States secretary of agricul- ture, addressing visitors to the na- tional corn exposition.
 Don't sell your corn; feed 1t to stock" was reiterated by the sec retary many times in his address. He asserted that if southern farm CTS would follow that advice they would bring their soil to a high state of fertility and could main tain it's fertility with a minimum use of commercial fertilizers.
 The secretary of the members of the house committee on agricul- ture yesterday afternoon also at tended a banquet in honor of more than 800 boys who have won honors in the growing of corn in the va rious states and 95 girls who have won recognition in the growing of tomatoes. The bust of the late pr Seman A. Knapp, known for his work in the improvement of agri- culture, was presented to the state of Arkansas for making the best showing in their school for prize winners, which has been conducted in connection with the exposition.

Old Ane.

Old age, as it comes in the order ly process of nature, is beautiful and majestic thing. It stands for experience, knowledge, wisdom, counsel. That is old age as it should be. but old age as it often is means poor digestion, torpid bowels, sluggish liver and general feeling of ill health, despondency and mis- cry. This in almost every instance is wholly unnecessary. One of Chambelrain's Tablets taken imme- diately after supper will improve the digestion, tone up the liver and regulate the bowels. That feeling of despondency will give way to one of hope and good cheer. For sale by all dealers.
