useful, of which U)thiii is now
$iown. and will further enable it
to distinguish between useful and
nonuseful plants. This may be illus
trated by the results obtained limn a
recent publication by Mr. .Standby on
tho Trees ai. 1 Shrubs of Mexico.
Before the uppearancc of that work,
one American industry was import
ing raw gum from Mexico, thiriy
per cent of which was waste, because
for lack of definlto description of
the flora of the country, the Industry
did not know from which particular
gum trees tho commercial product
came. That Is, while- many plants
produced gum, only a portion of such
gums were usable. Thanks to Mr.
Standley"s critical studies of ail
these plants, the company In ques
tion was able to specify to the native
gum-gatherers the trees which
yield the desired gums, und so bus
clminntcd the waste.
This is Mr. Klandley's third suc
cessive season of collecting in Cen
tral America. He has devoted himself
mainly to Costa Itlca, Salvador, and
Panama. In addition to his material,
the U,. S. .National Herbarium,
wblfh is' under the direction of llm
Smithsonian Institution, contains a
' largo series of specimens from
Guatemala, Ilrtish Honduras, Nicara-
' gua, and Honduras, liascd primarily j
' o nthis material, the Smithsonian t
Institution plans a general descript
ive account of tlio flora of Central
America, which, as indicated, will bo
of first importance to American
' business. Before this can bo proper
ly undertaken, however, much mom
intensive exploration of Honduras
and Nicaragua in particular is
necessary .The flora of these two
countries Is practically unknown and
should receive the same attention as
that given in recent years to tho
flora of Costa Itlca. To accomplish
this funds are needed.
Mr. Standley is brinsing back with
hini no less than 1300 specimens of
orchids. Ho says of the orchids of
Costa Hica that "they almost fill the
role of weeds". This little Republic,

VITAMIN-STARVED?
Millions of children and grown
persons are malnourished or, in other
words, they are vitamin-starved.
These lack the power to throw of!
the cold, cough or other infection that
takes hold easily or to withstand the
sudden weakness.
What is needed perjiaps more than
anything else is vitamin-tested, emul
sified, invigorating cod-liver oil to
recreate strength.
Scott 's Emulsion is the pleasant and
efficient way to assure the weakened
body the richness of health-giving
vitamins which cod-liver oil supplies
in needed abundance.
When vou or vour child take cod-
liver oil, you require it not only pure
and rich in vitamins but also in
a form easy to take and nothing
quite equals Scott 's Emulsion.
