Botha Election Causes
 Doubt in South Africa

Cape Town, South Africa, Dec. 1.- The Nationalist newspapers point out that General Botha's victory in the recent elections is not sweeping as most persons believe, inasnnuch as he will be unable to maintain his govern ment without a coalition with either the Nationalists or the Unionists. Any agreement with the Unionists, it is said. is impossible because of differ ences in regard to domestic policy.
 The situation is obviously a delicate one, and it is being carefully gone over by the Botha leaders. It is tol- erably certain, however, that General Botha will meet Parliament with Ministry substantially the same as the present one, leaving the question of a. coalition to be settled in the light of future developments in Parliament.

What Think Folks Should

Good Advice For TIaIn,4 Undeveloped.

Good Advice For, Thin, Undeveloped
 Men and Women.
 thousands of people suffer from excessive thinness, weak nerves and feeble stornachs who, having tried ad- vertised fesh-makers, food-fads, phy- sicaI culture stunts and rub-on creams, resign themselves to lifelong skinniness and think nothing will make them fat. Yet their case is not hopeless. A recently discovered com bination of assimilative agents has made fat grow after years of thinness. and it is also unequalled, judging from reports, for repairing the waste of sickness or faulty digestion and for strengthening the nerves, This re- markable preparation is called Sargol. Six strength giving, fat-producing as- si1niIatfve clements of acknowledged merit have been combined in this pre- paration, which is endorsed and used by prominent people everywhere. It is absolutely harmless, inexpensive and efficient.
 A few weeks systematic use Of Sar- gol should go far to produce flesh and strength by correcting faults of digestion and by supplying nourtshing fats to the blood. If not, every drug gist who sells it is authorized to re- turn the purchase price. Increased nourishnent is obtained from the food eaten, and the additional fats that thin people need are thus pro vided. All leading druggists supply Sargol and say there Is a large de- mand for it.
 While this new preparation has from reports given splendid results as nerve-tonic. and vitalizer. it's use is not recommended to nervous people unless they wish to gain at least fa- pounds of flesh.-Adv.

Germany's Prisoners

The total number of prisoners of
war held in Germany at the end of
the year amounts to S,138 officers and
577,S75 men.
This is shown in a summary issued
from headquarters but which points
out that the lists do not include civil
ians interned in Germany nor the pris-
oners taken before the pursuit in
Russian Poland or those in transport.
Of the total the French number
3,495 officers, including seven generals
and 215,000 men; the Russians 1876
officers of whom 1S are generals, and
3O6,290 men; the Belgians, 612 officers
including three generals, and 36, 1872
men, and British, 942 officers and 49,
2S5 men.
Headquarters takes occasion to say
that the report that / LAO German Off
GERS and 1874, ZOO men are prisoners OF
war in Russia is misleading since this
list includes interned civilians. Prob.
ably not more than Is per cent of the
total are military prisoners, it is de
clared.

HIDDEN TREASURERS OF
THE WESTERN DESERT

Luther Burbank has made the cac-
tus about the most interesting of
plants. 1t springs out of the barren
sand and begins to grow. 1t gets
from the earth no help, only place
to stand upon. But it continues to
grow and expand. Whence it's siren
9Th? Only from the sunbeams and
the air that surround it, says Good
wins Weekly.
Thus it has been reproduced through
the ages and has surrounded itself
with vicious thorns, and men in their
darkness have asked themselves for
thousands Of years what freak of ma
ture has caused anything so repellent
to cumber even the desert.
Burbank, perhaps unconciously reas-
oned the other way. There must have
all the time been design. So he took
it in hand. AS the lion-tamer con-
verts raging lion into a purrng pet,
so Burbank laid his hand upon the
savage thorns OF the cactus and they
withered. He continued to stroke and
pet it, then domestic animals eagerly
sought it for food, and the traveller on
the desert, where there are no springs
and no streams, found that from the
air the cactus had just grown cup
and then filled it from the same source
with water, and now those below frost
line declare that for forage an acre of
cactus will supply more than twelve
acres of the richest ,o,i. SO those
who have so long asked why the cac-
tus was given to the desert except to
add to it's discomfort are answered.

Want Law Amended

Many settlers on homestead land in
Northwestern Montana are being put
to a great deal Of inconvenience, ac-
cording to Register F. O. Williams of
the land office, owing to provision
of the three-year law, which provides
that one sixteenth of the land must
be put under cultivation the second
year, and one-eighth the third year.
The three-year law which originated
with Senator Borah Of Idaho, was
great boon to a majority of settlers,
as the large proportion of land open to
entry under the homestead laws were
in the prairie or open country, and it
was no hardship at all for the entry

this is a vastly different matter. The

Western Montana, northern Idaho,

of this law, although it is not probable
that any settler who is acting in good
faith will lose his land by failure to
comply with the provisions. However,
it will doubtless cause great deal of

Senator Borah, it is understood, has
introduced a bill amending this law in
the case of timbered sections, to pro-
vide that the entryman shall be given
credit for the work done, even if the

ments. In this he should, and doubt
less will, have the support of the rep

BUSINESS REVIVAL
WITH NEW YEAR:

With the coming of the new year
comes also an optimistic view of bus
mess conditions throughout the coun-
try. Let the pessimist go away back
and sit down. The continual growl of
hard times and close money has done
it's work and trade conditions now de-
mand reversal. At least this is the
sentiment expressed by many of the
men of the country standing high in
the business and financial world. AS
an indication that a revival of busi-
ness is close at hand, IS the fact that
the railroads of the cuun,ry are open
ing their shops that have been closed
for some time past.
The Southern Pacific on Monday last
put one hundred and fifty men to work
in their shops at Bakerfield, Califor-
MIA. At the same time the shops in
Ogden, Utah, were opened, employ
ing 500 men, while at Reno, Nevada,
ATS extra men were put to work. In
addition to this extra men have been
added to all the section crews and
general increase in employees marks
every department.
The Northern Pacific has reopened
it's shops in Livingston. All boiler
makers who were suspended are again
on duty and a large number of ma
chinists and helpers have been re-
stored to work. w. E. Bennett, pass
enger and freight agent of the Nor
thern Pacific, says that he has learn
ed from the president Of a large
string of saw mills in Washington and
elsewhere, that every big sawmill in
the northwest will have a full force
of men at work by February Is. The
lumber magnate was enroute to Chi
cago and said the northwest is on the
eve of the greatest prosperity it has
ever witnessed.
Wheat exports last week were T.
400,382 bushels against 5,801 ,412 for
