LOWER CALIFORNIA.
Rugged and Barren, It Was Once a
 Land of Fable and Adventure.

HuS9eo ana BaFFeny it was Onco a
 Land of Fable and Adventure.
 Lower California, once a land of fa- ble, romance and thrilling adventure, Is one of the most sparsely settled re- gions of the Mexican republic. It has an area corresponding in size to that of the Atlantic coast peninsula of Flor ida, but nearly 700 miles more coast line owing to Its extreme length of 760 miles. Florida has more than fourteen times as many people.
 Varying in width from thirty to 15O miles, Lower California is q rugged, barren strip of land. with a mountain ous backbone largely of volcanic ori. gin. For nearly 200 years after its dis. covery by the Spaniards 1t was thought to be an island.
 The southern portion Of the peninsula has Sore rain, but the northern section Is dry and arid, producing cereals, to- bacco, grapes, cassava and sugar cane only after being thoroughly irrigated. The mineral resources are valuable and varied. Gold, silver, lead, copper, salt, gypsum, turquoises, opals and gar. nets are proftably mined. The silver mines of La Paz were worked by the Jesuits as early as 17C9, three years after the famous padre, Sal"a.ierra, established the first permanent Spanish settlement fin the land.
 The magnificent Magdalena bay, on whose protected waters, forty miles long and twelve miles wide, the Pa ciic fleets of tie American navy have conducted their target prG@tice in re- cent years, was discovered by Fran cisco de Ulloa in 1530 while on n vOy- age of exploration seeking the pearls and gold of the "AmaZons."
 Lower California has two capitals La Ensenada, with population of 2,OOO, sIxty-fve miles by sea from San Diego, Cal, and La Paz, with 5,JCO people, many of whom earn q liveli- hood from the ports pocrl fisheries, which are among the most important in the world
 In addition to Its pearl oysters the waters of Lower California yield sponges, tortoises, sperm and gray back whales, while in the bayCus and river mouths of the east coast many alIiga- tors are to be found.

Never Was "Union John.r

Of the objects whose name Is derived from the diminutive of John the union jack cannot claim to be one. In the days of Chivalry the knights and men, at-arms wore a surcOat, or "jacque," as it was called, bearing the emblem ei- ther of their nationality or of the lord to whose service they were sworn. Gradually the word was transferred to the banner which was carried before the army, and this use of the word still survives today in the name of the Brit ish national flag and also that of the small fagpole at the bow of a ship known as the "jackstaff. ."-LOndon Chronicle.

Deafness Cannot De Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion Of the ear. There s only one way to cure deafness. and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness IS caused by an inhamed condition Of the mu- cous lining of the EustaChlan Tube. When this tube Is inhamed you have a rumbliEg sound or imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condi- tou hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an unframed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Two Sets of Muscles.

You have two sets of muscles-the outer ones, which you can feel, and the inner ones, which are your lungs, heart, stomach and other internal or gans. The outer ones are conyeniences for performing actions. The inner ones are your life-the "fate" which makes you happy or depressed, powerful or weak, useful or the contrary. These Inner muscles require training. just like any other muscles, by intelligently directed exercise.

GIFT OF THE CAB.
Why Stephenson Thought There Was
 No Power to Equal 1t.

No Power to Equal It.
 When George Stephenson. the per fector of the locomotive, was visiting theSeat of Sir Robert Peel at Drayton on one occasion. says the writer of Famous British Engineers there happened to be present Dr. Buckland, tue scientist. and Sir William FOllett, the famous advocate.
 Stephenson discussed with Dr. Buck land one of his favorite theories as to the formation of coal and, though un- doubtcdly in the right, was ultimately vanQuiShed by the arguments and ora tory of the doctor, who was a better master of tongue fence than himself. Next morning while pondering over his defeat in the solitude of the garden he was accosted by Sir William Follett and confded to that gentleman the story of his failure.
 Sir William, acquainted with the de- tails of the matter in dispute, agreed to take up the case and soon after ward attacked Dr. Buckland on the subject A long discussion ensued. in which the man of law completely si- fenced the man of science, who was at last compelled to own himself van quished. Sir Robert Peel, highly amused at this example of tit for tat" then turned to the Inventor and inquired, with a laugh:
 And what do you say on this mat ter, MT. Stephenson|
 why" he replied, 'I will only say this-that of all the powers above and under the earth there seems to me no power equal to the gift Of the gab."

CARGO PANS
 DEMOCRATS

WASHINGTON, Get. IS - "In appealing to the people to return the Republican party to power we have confidence that the recUId of incompetency of the present ad- ministratiop will mako impossible its continuance" declared Re presentatiY Thomas s. Crago, of Pennsylvania, in statement given out by the National Congressional committee.
 "One year and five months of Democratic rule found the country with industries paralyzed, the Treas ury almost bankrupt, our rights oyer the Panama Canal surrendered wages produced the cost of liyingi in- creased and our army landed on Mexican soil without excuse of justi fltation," continued Representa- tivo Crago, who is Past Commander in Chiof of the Veterans of For e;gn Wars.
 Then the war with Europe. The so-calIeG war tax appears, industry reyives because of war OTders5 high sounding diplomatic notes are writ ten, the cry goes up The President has kept us out of war when in fact every move he made weak eued us in the estimation of other nations, for we committed acts of war against a weaker nation, Mexi- co, and begged a servile truce with nqtions we knew were stronger.
 "Thc weakness of our foreign pol lcies, he record cf broken pledges, the surrender of rur rights, the useless expenditure Of millions and hypocrisy of Democratic legislation is 50 broad that the patience of the American people has been severely tested. The Wilson ad- ministration went into power pro claiming 'pitiless publicity and it will leave branded as a gum shoe, secret cabinet regime.
 "Tho public recalls the fiasco of Vera Cruz and President Wilson's uupardouable act in lifting the en- bargo Cn arms that our soldiers should meet death from guns furn- ished to assaSsins by permission Of cur own government. In this so- called peace more lives have been lost and more money spent than was sacrificed in the war with Spain. If we are at peace should muIo han a hundred thousand of our boys be paying the price of war. taken from home and families, to play game of peace. If we have been kept from war by any magic C the President, then how does it happen that Spain, Norway Sweden, Switzerland. Holland and Denmark, countries much nearer tIE European conflict than We are, have been able to maintain peace?
 With a great flourish of trum- pets the Democrats assumed con- troI. and their record is a dismal recital of broken promises and unIulilled pledges. The issues of this campaign are:
 "F!rsr, tariff revision by the friends of protective tariff, and TO twelfth hour conversion to the 'dea e a tariff board can fool the people.
 "Second, an Americanism which would put the United States not only first among other nations, but would protect us from forces within which would destroy the foundation of justice on which our government is foundeed.
 "Third, readjustment of the fiscla affairs of +he government to the end that the people, who pay the bihs, shall have some say as to the amount and methods of ex- Fenditures."

MID-LViNTER TRADE.
Cheaper to Sell Winter Goods It Re-
ductiOn Than to Carry Over.

AS the newspaper man looks over
mis- exchanges at this time of year.
the strongest impression he gets is
that Of the enormous amount of ad-
vertising of midwinter sales.
From the big department store of
some great city, down to the little
dry goods shop at some country
cross roads, they're all doin' it,"
1t has become apparent to progress
sive merchants, that it is cheaper to
sell winter goods at a reduction
now, than TO carry them over until
another year, paying interest on mo-
IDey invested, inst rance, taking chan
ces of style changes or deterioration
of the stock.
1t has therefore become one of the
fixed laws of trade, that the public
can get concessions in prices by buy
! ing at this time. But it is OF very
little use for merchant TO mark his
prices down, unless he tells the pub.
| lie about it.
An. unadyertisad mark-dowm sale
falls fiat. If a merchant does not
make some announcement of tn =,
concessions he is willing to make,
the public would conclude that he
was not making any, and that he pre-
ferred to carry his stock over to an
other season.
There is always a special class OF
trade waiting to take advantage of
mid-winter bargains. 1t consists OF
shrewd, economical people, who
would rather wear old goods a few
weeks longer in order to get the low
prices Of January and February.
Whenever they Pick up newspaper
in midwinter, they turn first to sea
what merchants have "come across
with bargains. The best offer gets
their patronage, and they head di-
rect for the store that makes it.

THE INCOME TAN.
Unless War Taxes Are Paid During
January Double the Amount
Will Have to be Paid.

Hundreds of inquiries received at
the Office of the collector of Internal
Revenue for Iowa indicate general
ignorance of the fact that Congress,
just before adjournment for the
holiday recess, re-enacted the War
Revenue emergency act in its entire
ty, for one year dating from Jan. 1,
1916. This is the law which re-
quires stamp taxes on deeds, notes,
ETC., and on cosmetics and perfumes;
and imposes special taxes on bank
ers, brokers, pawnbrokers, CONNER
cial brokers, theatres, public exhibi
tions, pool and billiard tables, bowl
ing alleys, commission merchants,
tobacco dealers, and manufacturers
of cigars and Tobacco. Unless the
war taxes are paid during January,
double the amount of tax will have
to be paid thereafter.
The returns of individuals and
corporations must be made before
March 1st. to avoid heavy penalties.
For the fiscal year ended June 80,
1915, Iowa corporations paid the
Government $469,173 and individ-
uals subject to the tax $264,315 as
taxes on their net income.
