CORPORATION TAX LAW VOID?
Secretary MacVeagh Finds Doubtful
Clause in New Statute.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 49,
With the best corporation lawyers in the
world burning midnight electricity trying
to poke holes in the new corporation tax
law, it is feared that its weak point has
been discovered by the men who must
enforce it.
Franklin MacVeagh, secretary of the
treasury, and Commissioner Gabell of
the internal revenue division would rest
much better tonight if they were salts
fed that the new act did not impose a
tax OF l per cent. upon the interest re-
ceived by corporations from government
bonds. Commissioner Gabell has passed
the problem along to Secretary Mac
Veagh He is now considering that and
several other perplexing questions prepar-
atory to putting an o. K. on the official
circular which the division of internal
revenue will issue as soon as the doubts
can be cleared up.
If the question is sent by the treasury
department to Attorney General Wicker
sham, he is prepared to hold promptly
that the bonds are not taxable. He drew
the act and depends upon the statute
putting United States bonds, outside of
the reach of the tax collector to keep
the corporation tax whole under the as
saults of the corporations

FLOUR IS RELEASED.
Federal Judge Orders Samples Retained,
However, to Be Used at Trial in
Des MoineS, Ia.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Nov. 16-Judge
Smith Mcpherson, in the United States
district court today, ordered 1915 sacks
of bleached -four, which had been seized
by federal officials during last summer,
released. The court ordered samples re-
tanned to be used when the case goes to
trial at Council Bluffs January Is next.
Pierce Butler of st. Paul, named by
Attorney General Wickersham to repre-
sent the government at the hearing,
which had been originally scheduled for
today, entered protest against the courts
action. Mr.. Butler declared that the mil
lers had manufactured the -four in ques-
ton knowing it would be seized and that
they had not used as much adulterant in
it as they ordinarily use.
Judge Mcpherson appeared surprised
at this statement, and declared that the
case should be further investigated.

TRANSFORMING THE LAPPs.
Dying Race Is Being Removed to Labra-
dor to Prevent Extinction.

A commencement has been made in a
most remarkable and long talked of en-
terprise, says Stray Stories. This is
nothing less than the transplanting of the
Lapps from Lapland, where they are a
dying race, to Labrador, where it is
hoped they will flourish and increase.
Whether these hopes will be justified
or not remains to be seen. Similar ex-
periments in the past have seldom been
wholly successful, and some have result
ed disastrously.
The Doukhobors, for instance who, in
1899, were transported, to the number
of 5000 or 5000, from their homes in
southern Russia to the Canadian north
west, were for time in dire straits.
They also behaved erratically, marching
naked through the snow, and abandon
ing their focks and herds to the wolves.

On the other hand, the attempt made
some eighty years ago to transplant the
Rockolnikis of the Don country to a new
home that was supposed to have been
found for them in eastern Turkestan re-
suited in one of the most CHASTITY TRACE
dies.
The huge caravan lost it's way in the
desert and was never heard of again, the
probability being that hunger and thirst,
combined with the attacks Of nomad rob-
bers, were responsible for the deaths of
the entire party.
Equally dreadful was the fate that be-
fell the 10000 Jutlanders transplanted to
the east coast of Greeland by Queen
Margaret of Sweden. At first they -four

Prescribed Change OF Food Instead
of Drugs.
It takes considerable courage for q
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for despairing patient, instead
of resorting to the usual list Of medi-
cines
There are some truly scientific ply
sicians among the present generation
who recognize and treat conditions as
they are and should be treated regard
less of the value to their pockets.
Here's an instance:
-Four years ago was taken with
severe gastritis and nothing would

Il heard of doctor who had sum-
mer cottage near me-a specialist from

After he examined me carefully he
advised me to try small quantity OF
Grape-Nuts at first, then as my stom-
ach became stronger to eat more.
II kept at it and gradually got so
could eat and digest three teaspoonfuls.
Then began to have color in my face,

everything seemed a blank. Ny limbs
got stronger and I could walk. So I
steadily recovered.

$1,000 FOR A LEAF.
An Australian Pays That Sum for Bit
of Spineless Cactus.

Wizard Burbank says that though
some dishonest dealers both in this coun-
try and in Europe have been offering
specimens of the so-called Burbank
spineless cactus for two years the first
genuine specimens were put on the mar
ket only last summer.
He has been experimenting with the
production of a spineless opuntia, or
prickly pear, for twelve years. Speci-
mems were sent to him from all over the
world and thousands of seedlings were
raised every years, but most of them
were grubbed up as unavailing.
The original successful plant has
grown in three years to a height of 6
feet and is over feet in diameter. The
thornless varieties cannot be raised from
seed, but are propagated only from cut
tings, which must be first wilted in the
sun for a week or two before they will
grow. "After that" says Mr.. Burbank
in the Philadelphia Record, "they will
root anywhere any end up-even in your
overcoat pocket or on the floor back Of
the stove"
A single leaf of the best variety Of the
thornless cactus, the Santa Rosa, was
sold for $1,000 to John M. Rutland Of
Melbourne, Australia, with the right to
sell in the southern hemisphere, and one
leaf of another variety was disposed OF
to the same Australian horticulturist for
$500.
''The foliage proposition" continued
Mr.. Burbank, sis by no means all there
is to cactus culture. The fruits have
wonderful possibilities. Many Of my
helpers prefer pear to appricots or
peaches and 1 myself find it delicious.
There is great variety in the taste Of the
different sorts, and my ambition now is
to produce a type that will bear distinct
varieties of cactus fruit, the same as
different varieties of apples are char
acterized by different f1avors."

ARE TALL MEN STUPID?
Geniuses of the World Have All Been OF
Medium Size.

DR.. [. Potter, an eminent German ply
stefan, has been making some interesting
observations regarding the stature of in
dividuals and the relation that exists be-
tween height and talent and genius. The
doctor finds that not only persons with
considerable talent but the geniuses of
the world have all been of medium size
;or less Says the Boston Post:
Among statesmen he points out Attila,
Cromwell, Frederick IL, Napoleon, Gam
beta, Thiers-all of whom were of very
small stature. Jesus Christ, too, the doc
tor says, according to the Talmud, was
built in small proportions; so was Paul.
Among the great artists the short men
were Raphael, Michael Angelo, Titan,
Leonardo da Vinci and Mcneil; among
the musicians, Richard Wagner, Handel,
Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schu-
mann, Schubert, Brahms. Nearly all the
poets were of small stature, particularly
Dante, Victor Hugo and Heine. So were
Cervantes and ROsseau.
