to use oleomargarine instead of but

There is practically no difference in

former should not be used In place ot

Faced east the self-same way:

With self-same marks of play;
And each house held the seif-same signs
OF love and happy marriage,
But one lawn sheltered three pet dogs
And one a baby carriage.

Do butchers ever use preservatiVes

me what kind Of chemicals are en-

w. B.
Sulphite of sodium, known under
different names, as "preservaiine,'
"freezine," etc, with boric acid and
benzoate of sodium are the common
preservatives of meats which have
been employed by some butchers
Sulphite of sodium is sometimes
sprinkled on fresh meat to serve the
double purpose of a preventative and a
retainer of color. In a measure it pre-
vents the blood from oxidizing ana
this keeps the color fresh and bright
We believe preseryatives of this type
are unnecessary.

Rev. Wilbur F. Berry, secretary Of
the Maine Christian Civic League,
makes the direct statement that the
United States government Is losing
thousands of dollars through the
failure to collect the revenue tax from
many of the Bangor liquor dealers and
has the proof to back up his state
ment. The records show that over 80
persons have been convicted Of viola
ton of the prohibitory law at different
times during the past year. while but
"a stamps" as they are called, are
held in that city. A genuine business
trip of an internal revenue officer to
that city might be productive of reve-
nue. for the government as we'll as aid
the city, county and State officials in
cleaning up that illegal practice, re-
ported so common in that place. 1t is
interesting in connection with the fore,
going to note that it was reported
Wednesday that detectives had been
in Bangor and Brewer at work on the
self same matter.

mingham. Ala. The country has alto
gether something like one million semi
civilized Indians and some hundreds OF
thousands of Cholos or half-breeds. These
people all live on the high plateau of the
Andes, region that has all the cities
and towns. and that practically includes
the whole of Bolivia as the world knows
1t today.
This is the frontier or backwoods of
the country. 1t. is inhabited only by
a few thousand savages. Nevertheless
1t contains half of the area of the
republic. and is said to be one of the
richest lands of the world. Eastern
Bolivia is one-tenth as large as the
United States proper. 1t is equal to
six states 1.-The size of Illinois. and Is
one-third larger than either Germany
or France. The most of this vast
territory is well fitted to be the home
Of a civilized people. The land con-
sists of fertile plains that slope from
the Andean wall toward the east.
south and north. and gradually fall
to a general level, where the highest
points are only about 1.600 feet above
the sea. The plain fades away at the
north into the Amazon valley, and at
the east and south into those of the
is In fact a continuation of the great
cattle fields of Argentina, Paraguay
and Matto Crosse, and it may even
tually be one of the great meat bas-
helS Oh the UnlteQ states. Inc land
already swarms with wild cattle, and
great herds are now feeding along
the banks of the Pilcamayo and on
the borders of the Paraguayan Chaco.
There are wild cattle also in northern
Bolivia, next to Brazil. very near the
tract of five million acres taken up by
Mr.. Murdo Mackenzie and the Brazil
Land and Cattle Company. That tract
has the best of pasture. and it is al
ready stocked with 10000 beef cattle.
During my stay in La Paz / have met
a number OF explorers from eastern
Bolivia. 1 have also gone over the maps
with DR.. Manuel Vicente Bolivian, the
head of the national bureau Of statistics
and the best posted man in the world
on the geography and resources of this
country. DIR. Bolivian tells me that the
eastern part of the republic is by far the
best part of it, and that it will some day
support a vast population. He describes
it as well watered by tributaries of the
Amazon and Pafana. and as having a
rainfall well fitted for crops. He has
given me report just received from Dr.
Guillermo Velasco concerning the coun-
try. DR.. Velasco has devoted many years
to the study of this section. and in his
Evening star., 1914-08-16

report he discusses the extension of rail-
ways and the opening up of the mineral
resources.
One of the great possibilities lies in
the petroleum deposits. Eastern Bolivia
has a strip of land running north and
south for distance of 30 miles where
the oil oozes out of the ground and where
it has been used by the Indians for gen
erations for lighting and burning. A
number of oil companies have already
been formed for the exploitation OF these
deposits, and concessions have been
granted to Americans and others to de-
eigners who are interested in the region
is the Farquhar syndicate. which has
vast properties in Paraguay and Brazil
and which has to do with the building
the Amazon valley. Experimental wells
are now being put down. and the prospect
of discovering flowing wells is said to be
good. The chief difficulty will be the
getting of the oil to the market. The
distance across country to the Atlantic
