The Alveolar System Of Replacing Teeth in the Human Mouth is the Greatest Advance Ever Made in Scientific Dentistry A few years njro Marconi came before the world with , the statement that he could transmit niessanrs through the air by electricity without the use of wires.

Found to De Full of Alcohol, Another wild dcHert plant thut grows profusely uiwm many millions of acres of land In tho mountainous region of western Texas now is being used as a profitable- source of revenue, says the Kansas City Star. It Is the sotol. which Is said to be found in no other part of the United States. It Is of (juifk, sturdy growth. It long has been known that alcohol could be made from this plant, but It is only within the last few months that steps have been takes to utilize this knowledge In a commer cial way by the manufacture of dena tured alcohol from the large bulb which forms a part of the growth. This bulb is situated just above the ground and frequently is a foot in diameter. The percentage of alcohol which it contains Is said to be larger than in any other known product. It was not until in the last session of Congress that authority was granted for the manufacture of denatured alco hol from the sotol plant. As a result of this Federal permission, a sotol dis tillery has been established at El Paso and large, shipments of the sotol bulb are being made from the Alpine section to that place for conversion into the denatured product. When the early Spanish explorers first penetrated the region along the Uio Grande Itiver below Alpine, more than two centuries ago, they found that the Pueblo and other Indian tribes had a knowledge of the alcoholic properties of the sotol plant Primitive stills were In operation from which a fiery white liquor was obtained. The Indians were wont to lnduige freely in this native intoxicant. The sotol liquor still is n favorite beverage among the Mexicans of the border. The American cowboy of this region has an intimate knowl edge of the "lighting" qualities of thk liquor. It Is one of the phases of inl tlation which the tenderfoot is always put through uiion the border ranches, J he main objection to the stuff Is that you've got. to run a mile to get your breath after you have taken arms or it," said a cowboy the other day.
