Washington, Nov. 22.--Acquisition of
territory in Mexico, including Magda-
lena Bay, which Japan is understood 10
covet, will be made the subject OF agi
tation In congress this winter by dele
cations from the Pacific coast.
The movement will have the back
ing Of persons on the Pacific coast
who fear that Japan, IN spite OF the
Monroe doctrine, may attempt to es-
tablish a naval base in Magdalena
Bay. which is In the state OF Lower
California.
Influences on the Pacific coast
therefore intend to start an agitation
in favor Of acquiring not only Lower
California but the northern parts Of
the states OF Chihuahua and Sonora
in Mexico. Those backing the move
ment are looking into the future
They insist that in case of an at
tack by an enemy in the Pacific Mag
dalena Bay in the possession Of Mex
leo could be used as base for land
ing troops. They assert that it is the
duty Of the United States to acquire
Lower California territory as well as
northern Sonora and Chihuahua.
The men on the Pacific coast who

favor such acquisition OF territory are
confident that Mexico can be persuaded
to part with Lower California and
parts of the states Of Sonora and Chi
huahua. They point out that with the
establishment of d permanent govern
ment south Of the Rio Grande the re-
public will be called on to pay large
sums in settlement of damages to for
eign property committed during the
course of the revolutionary movement.
The suggestion is made that Mexico
is without funds 10 make satisfactory
settlement of fhe demands that will be
made on her The proposal will be
made that the United States assume
these debts OF Mexico and in return
that Mexico shall cede the territory
described. The men behind this agi-
tation are Of the opinion that If such
negotiations were instituted in behalf
Of the United States and properly
handled they would ultimately succeed.
1t was suggested here in an official
quarter that Mexico's constitution
would have to be changed before she
could even entertain such a proposal.
Under the constitution territory cannot
be coded under any circumstances.

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.


A western physician has views about
food. He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty Of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick. but that we
owe 1t to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health especially by
hygienie and dietetic laws.
with such feeling as to my duty
take great pleasure in saying, that, in
nay own experience, and also from per
sonal observation, I have found no
food to equal Grape-Nuts and that
find there is almost no limit to the
great benefit this food will bring when
used in all cases of sickness and con-
valescence.
IT Is my experience that no physical
rendition forbids the use Of Grape-Nuts
To persons in health there Is nothing
SO nourishing and acceptable to the
stomach especially al breakfast TO
start the machinery of the human sys-
TEN on the days work
I'm eases of Indigestion l know that
complete breakfast can be made of
Grape-Nuts and cream. and / think it
is necessary not to overload the stom-
ach al the morning meal. I also know
the great value Of Grape-Nuts when
The stomach is too weak to digest other
food.
This is written after an experience
of more than 20 years treating all man

London's Treasures Guarded.

Extensive precautions have been
taken in London to guard art treas
ures against the menace of air raids.
The custodians of art galleries and
museums long ago removed to vaults
or similar places the most precious
of their portable exhibits. At the
British museum a number of priceless
manuscripts, books, and other objects
have been stored away in safes. Some
measure of risk must, however, be
borne in a building which contains
40 miles of bookshelves and massive
pieces of sculpture. Visitors to the
National gallery find the major part
of the building closed At the Guild
hall the most valuable pictures have
been placed in the basement. The
magnificent Gainsborough. "Fording
the River" has been removed from
the walls. In the corporation strong
room in the basement is stored what
is probably the finest collection of
municipal records in the world. 1t
includes the charter of William the
Conqueror ito William, Bishop and
Gosfegdh, Portreeye, and all the bur-
gesses within London" securing to
them their ancient liberties. Every
reign since the Conqueror is repre-
scented in the charters.

Shoots Deer With Opium.

John Benham, a well-known Wiscon-
sin guide, who had been commissioned
to capture huge deer alive for pri-
vate game preserve near Hurley, Wis,
has captured the biggest deer ever
taken alive in that state-a six-prong,
300-pound buck-by the simple expedi-
ent of using opium pellets instead of
the usual lead bullets in hunting. Ben
ham had a druggist make him the shot
he wanted-a mixture of gum arabic,
flour paste and opium. Then he went
to watch for the deer, which all of
the guides had, because of it's size,
refused to allow hunters to kill When
he saw the big fellow he cut loose
with his gun, and he caught up with
the deer two hours later, when it had
fallen asleep in some balsams When
the deer woke up 1t had been boxed

ONE CENT LETTER POSTAGE
BEING AG|TATED

One cent postage rate on letters is again
being brought into prominence and many
high officials declare that it is sure to come
in the near future. All classes of business
would be greatly benefited by its adoption,
and estimated statistics show there would be
such an increased demand for stamps that
the apparent loss of revenue would be more
than made up.
1t is an impossibility to place an estimated
value on health, it being most priceless
possession-but, perhaps you have been care
less or negligent and have allowed weakness
to develop until you are now in badly
rundown condition, with poor appetite, i'm
paired digestion and constipated bowels.
In order to get back to health and strength
you must first help Nature restore the
Stomach, Liver and Bowels to a normal con-
dition. This suggests the friendly aid of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. You will find
it an excellent tonic, appetizer and strength
maker and well worthy of your confidence.
1t is an absolutely pure medicine, adapted
to all ordinary family ailments, and your
health will be greatly improved by giving it
fair trial at once Be sure you get the
genuine Hostetter's Stomach Bitters with our
Private Stamp over the neck of Bottle.

through the ice and catch a large
trout. Bennett called to Monroe Tyler,

the mink with stones in an attempt to
capture him.

the mink to his hole, from which the
two men dug him with pickaXes. When

Old JOKE IS SPOILED
Pound of Feathers Weighs More
Than Pound of Lead.
Has Been Established as a Scientific
Fact-Matter of Volume Is the
Point That Must Be
Considered.

The old Joke, Which is heavier,
pound of lead or a pound of feathers?"
Is not quite such joke as it seems at
hrst glance. Archimedes taught us the
truth that body immersed in liquid
Dr. gas receives an upward push equal
to the weight of the liquid or the gas it
1lsplaces. Suppose we arrange a bal
ance so that one of it's arms can be
introduced under the bell of an air
pump, and place upon each of it's arms
a weight, say one pound, both weights
made of the same size. They will ex-
actly balance each other. If we ex.
haust the air from under the bell, pro-
ducing vacuum, we remove the up
ward push, and the arm of the balance
that is in the vacuum descends. If
on the contrary we compress the air
under the bell we make the displaced
air weigh more and consequently the
upward push is increased and this arm
of the balance ascends.
1t is manifest that the greater
amount of air displaced the greater
will be the upward push. Suppose now
we balance pound of lead on one arm
and a pound of feathers on the other.
They will, of course, exactly equal
each other in ordinary air, for they
were both weighed in ordinary air.
Now let US put the whole apparatus,
including both weights, under an air
pump. The pound of feathers dis
places far more air than the pound of
