QUACKS: ANCIENT AND
MODERN

Do you regard cold cream as an ul-
tra-modern palliative?
Or pure food and drug laws as COM
paratively recent type of legislation?
Or the familiar "cure all" as an up
to-date quack device for the twentieth
century credulous?
You are wrong, according to the
statements contained in a communica
ton to the National Geographic socie-
ty from DR.. John A. Foote. A part of
the communication states:
"Most people at some time or an
other use cold cream. 1t seems quite
a modern luxury, indispensable alike
to peer and peri, and adapted to many
and varied uses. In fact, one traveller
tells recently of having some of his
cold cream eaten by fat hungry valet
In Germany. So we are inclined to re-
gard Il as fairly modern product.
And yet 'unguentum refrigerans.' cold
cream, has come down to us from Ro-
man days. The first formula is at

In the second century. What we use
today is practically the same, though

From 1907 TO 1911. inclusive. nearly
one-ffth Of the worlds oil supply came
from the Caucasus region. and in nor
NAL times Batum was credited with
exporting more petroleum than any
other port In the world. Batum won
this boon by the natural advantage Of

the world, despite the occasional

The city came to It's Industrial own

such as climate where the foliage

banana trees.
In 1908 Batum had an economic ex-
perience that affected 1t more deeply

VERA CRUZ: TRAVERSING
A CONTINENT IN rs
MILES

"While fully aware Of the high per-
centage of error most sweeping asser-
tions contain, l nevertheless venture
to claim that the country lying be-
tween the cities of Vera Cruz and Mex
leo City possesses more varied nat
ural attractions than any other area
of similar extent in the world"
This is the statement of Frank NJ.
Chapman, in a communication to the
National Geographic society concern
ing Vera Cruz, which figures so con-
spicuously in news dispatches from
Mexico. Doctor Chapman continues ),
"Be one student or tourist, there can
be no question that one should enter
Mexico from the gulf. A journey from
the coast to the capital follows a nat.
ural succession of climatic zones as
well as the sequence of early historic
events.
1.-THE day. indeed. should begin at
sunrise, some hours before disembark-
ing at Vera Cruz, with hope that one
may have the rare good fortune to see
the first rays of the sun touch the
summit of Mt. Orizaba, the first, as it
will be among the most lasting, of
one's impressions of Mexico. The
shore is. still some 30 miles distant,
the mountain itself about 100 miles,
and one is with difficulty convinced
that the cleaning pink cloud high
above the horizon is part of the still
invisible earth beneath it. Doubtless
the Aztecs were not familiar with this
view of Mt. Orizaba, but from no
other place is their name for it--Cit-
laltapeu (the Star Mountain)-so ap-
plicable.
"Time was when Vera Cruz was
dreaded as pest-hole, and trains at
once took one from the steamer up the
Sierras on the way to Mexico City,
usually as far as Orizaba. Now, how
ever, sanitary conditions and hotel ac-
commodations have been so improved
that one may stay here without dan
ger or discomfort.
"In our journey from the gulf to the
summit of the Sierras we pass through
tropical, temperate and boreal zones
the Tierras Caliente, Templada and
Fria of the native. Our actual jour-
ney, in passing from sea level to snow
line, may be a matter of rs miles, our
change Of altitude approximately three
miles; but If we were to seek the
Canadian zone not on mountain top
but on~the coast, it would be neces-
sary for us to travel to Maine or Nova
Scotia. In other words, a journey OF
some 1900 miles would be required tC
reach conditions which are here dis
tant but three altitudinal miles.
'Tt follows, then. that one can actu
ally stand in tropical jungle, where
parrots, trogons, toucans. and othel
equatorial birds are calling from the
Handicapped trees. and look upward tt
forests of pines and spruce, wher'
crossbills. juncos, pine siskins, an(
evening grosbeaks are among the com
mon permanent resident species.
later we may ascend the SHOWS OF
Orizaba to discover at approximate.
what altitude the palms of the Tierr;
Caliente give Sway to the oaks Of tn,
TERRA Templada, to be in turn re
placed by the spruce of the Tierr;
Fria."
