Bottled Mate or Paraguay Tea, Fa-
nous South American Beverage,
Is Being Investigated. \

Buenos. Aires. Feb 2.-Bottled mate
or Paraguay tea, the famous South
American beverage, may become a pro
bibition drink in the United States. One
North American manufacturer Of bey-
crages is making inquiries in Buenos
Aires to ascertain whether to import the
mate herb from Argentina and intro
duce it to North Americans.
Drinking mate through the bombilla
i. national custom not SO much prac-
ticed in South American cities as for
merlv. but is still common in the
camps" or agricultural districts. The
bombilla. a metal tube about six inches
long. with the thickness of pencil, Is
fan shaped, at the end and dotted with
small holes like a sieve, through which
the LIQUID is drunk from q sun dried
gourd about the size Of large apple.
The liquid is prepared by filling the
pourd with the herb, then boiling water
Is added. The host takes the first drink
and the gourd is re-flled and handed
to the guests in succession. The sup
ply Of mate is renewed as Is required.
Silver and even gold gourds are now
used by wealthy families.
Mate is grown extensively in the ex-
IRENE northeastern section of Argen-
tina. Paraguay and Brazil, where large
tracts of land are given over TO its cul-
tivation.
The herb possesses astringent quail
ties which makes it an invaluable bev-
erage among the farming people who
consume large quantities of meat daily,
this. together with hard biscuits, IN
some parts of the republic. being the
only articles OF food.

OF the total deaths AT ,467, or more

AMERICAN INDIAN
POPULATION GROW 5
There Are as Many Now as When CO.
Iumbus Discovered America
No Longer a Dying
Race.

Washington, d. c., Feb. despite
popular belief that the civilization
| forced upon him by the white man
means his ultimate extinction, the
North American Indian, reviving from a
long period of decadence, has shown
such substantial increase in population
in recent years that he probably is
scarcely less numerous to-day than
when Columbus discovered America.
Startling as this assertion may be
to those who have pictured American
forests in the discoveries time as
swarming with red men, it is freely
advanced by experts of the govern
ment's Indian bureau, who maintain
that the Indian necessarily formed an
exceedingly scant population which
probably at no period materially ex-
ceeded the total of 333,072 Indians re.
ported by the bureau for last year.
"The Indian no longer is to be
thought of as a dying race, declared
Dir. Lawrence W. White. an Indian au-
thority of the bureau. In support OF
that statement it is necessary, Ip the
first place, to dsabuse the public mind
of the tradition handed down by dis
coyerers and early colonists that Amer
lean forests in their day swarmed with
the dusky figure of the red man. As
the Indian neglected agriculture almost
completely, it is highly improbable
that this country, considering its latf-
tude, could have supported more than
several hundred thousand of his race
On the other hand, DIR. White CON
tinued the Indian in the present day,
after periods Of sharp decrease follow
| ing as natural reaction to sudden con-
| tact with the civilization of the white
man, is seen to be making substantial
gains in population.
while many estimates or guesses of
the Indian population were made dur
| ing the past century, said DIR. White,
'ranging from less than 100000 to
| 100000. the first reliable census was
made by the Indian bureau in 1870,
when the population was placed at 3l3,
| 7l2 So figures demonstrate that in
the last 80 years the Indian population
has made a substantial net gain.
Pointing to statistics which show an
| excess of births over deaths Of ,522 in
| 1916 and almost as great an excess in
1917 normal years which were not at
fected by the epidemic of influenza, DR.
White declared these figures fully re-
/ Aected the generosity of a government
that has increased its Indian health ap-
preparation alone from $4,000 in 1911
| to S35O.00O in 1917 and subsequent
years They demonstrate, he said
that with the schools, hospitals and
other advantages now provided for
him, the Indian, be he tribesman or
freeman, is mot a dying race but rath-
err a fourishing one" Had he been
treated as other nations have treated
savage tribes. DIR. White concluded,
there probably would not be ''vestige
of the race within our republic to-day"
