Mexrcos Salt Producing Lake.

Though Mexico offers many wonders
for the inspection of the traveller none
is more interesting or peculiar than
the salt-producing lakes near Salinas
station, on the Tampico division Of the
Mexican Central railway, 72 miles west
of San Luis Potosi. 1t may well be
termed a two-story lake, for at times
there is lake of fresh water over
lying the salt lake. A water-tight
roof of green mud separates the fresh
from the salt water. For large
part of the year there iS no fresh
water lake there. The sun licks 1t up
soon after the rainy season Is over.
The salt secured from this lake goes
all over Mexico. The lake has been
worked about sixty-iive years. The
whole town of 5000 people makes It's
living from the salt. The property
is owned by family or estate, but
1t Is said that not one of the owners
has lived there for years.

Women care little for that kind

to do this Beverly Bayne says

still she may be the most popu-

not necessa. y to make one uni

of the women who have put their

Beauty as we know 1t is not a
question of form, complexion,
