Everything in Our Stock at Reduced Prices | adjetive { by WORLD MUST DOFF | HAT TO PARAGUAY South American Country Among First for Patriotic Fighting Washington, Jan. 26.—Away down | in South America, almost in the very heart of the continent, sandwiched in between Bolivia and Brazil on the north and east and Argentina on the south and west is located the heroic little country known as Paraguay. The “heroic” is used advisedly, for when it comes to patriotic fight- ing the world must doff its hat to this little republic. If there ever was a | nation that fought “to the last ditch” it is Paraguay, and if there is an- other instance in history—modern, | mediaeval, or ancient—where a peo- ple fought so completely to the point of utter exhaustion ,almost to extinc- tion, before they ran up the white flag, it has been rather carefully con- cealed. In this particular Paraguay may be said to be about sui generis. 1t is so far away and so little visited people of the United States that perhaps few citizens of the great northern republic know much more about this very interesting country than its mere geographical location. Of late, however, it is coming more and more into prominence and people Packages will be de-, fivered the morning fol- lowing day of purchase. PULLAR & NIVEN CARCUITI WITH U. S.

An article in a recent number of the Bulletin of the Pan-American Union, Washington, D. C., throws light upon the subject in the following man- ner. Very Beginning of Things. Economically Paraguay is at the very beginning of things. It might have been discovered but yesterday It's immense possibilities as a food producer, both animal and veg- etable, are practically unknown and Yet Paraguayan civil- ization, except from its economic side is modern and up-to-date.

For six years Lopez had kept up the unequal struggle against Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. This was war to the last ditch and beyond. The Paraguayans dled almost to a man. The final levies included men almost too old to walk and little boys just out of pinafores. They all died, and many thousands of women and girls fighting by their sides. At the close of the war Paraguay was almost a country of women alone. In 1863 the population numbered 1,337,489; in 1871 the returns showed only 221,- 079 persons resident of the republic. ‘With such a history, it is a wonder that Paraguay has remained unde- veloped? Rather it is a wonder that it has made the progress that it has, for after all Paraguay is intellectually and socially by no means backward, and even in industrial improvement it has much to show for the 45 years The spirit of the country has never weakened. No sac- rifice for the country is too great for any Paraguayan and no dream of fu- ture grandeur and progress is too un- real. To attain this ideal the country needs outside help.

There is no longer any room for doubt that evolution does take place, according to this body of scientists. But there is still debate on the ques- tion of just how it works, and to set- tle this question more information is needed. Rewards of $200 Each. Such information is believed by C. L.

The claim is made that every case of this kind, arose by the inheritance of ex- cess development acquired before re- producing, and that is is impossible to increase the mental or physical powers of any kind of animal in any other way than by the inheritance of such acquirements. If any one can show the contrary, he can capture my money.” The American Genetic association of this city, which will receive all evidence submitted ,will also furnish information as to the exact points which should be investigated, to throw light on the way in which evo- lution takes place.

The great Paraguay river is there, with its fine' port, Asuncion, the cap- ital of the country, but its docking fa- cilities are grossly inadequate. On Oc- tober 18, 1915, Paraguayan congress enacted the final legislation which closed a contrac¢t with an American corporation, MacArthur, Perks & Co., (Litd.), to construct new docks and port facilities which will accomodate the largest steamers and incidentally reclaim a large area of land now par- tially submerged and ~useless. The new warehouses will have a capacity of something like 50,000 cubic feet and will have all’modern equipment. Paraguay is thus getting ready for its constantly growing commerce, and this is but one phase of its progress. HOLCOMB DECLINES REQUEST. Refuses to Name Officially Jewish Re- lief Day. Hartford, Jan. 25—Gov. Holcomb has received a telegram from the Na- tional committee on Jewish Relief day to be observed Thursday for the pur- pose of raising money for Jewish war sufferers asking him to proclaim the day officially. The governor replied to the tele- gram expressing sympathy with the purpose of the committee, but at the same time declining to make the pro- clamation saying he did not think he had the power to issue it. In a conversation today Gov. Hol- comb said he did not think he should assume any authority in regard to proclaiming days for any porticular purpose, only so far as he was em- powered by the statutes. He realiz- ed that the powers of the executive were limited and he did not desire to exceed the limitations. OUCH ! LUMBAGO ! RUB PAINS FROM SORE, LAME BACK Rub Backache away with small trial bottle of old, penetrating “St. Jacob’s Ofl.” Back hurt you? Can't straighten up without feeling sudden pains, sharp aches and twinges? Now listen! That's lumbage, sciatica or maybe from a strain, and you'll get relief the moment you rub your back with soothing, penetrating ‘St. Jacob’s Oil”. Nothing else takes out soreness, lame- ness and stiffness so quickly. You simply rub it on your back and out comes the pain. It is harmless and doesn’t burn the skin. Limber up. Don’t suffer! Get a small trial bottle of -old, honest “St. Jacob’s Oil” from any drug store, and after using it just once, you’ll forget that you ever had backache, lumbago or sciatica, because your back will never hurt or cause any more misery.

He will pay $200 for evidence that any one of the two or three thousand intellectually great men or women of history was the product of an ances- try which represented, on the aver- age, four generations to a century. He will pay another $200 for evi- dence that any one of the two or three hundred extraordinarily great men or women was the product of an ancestry which represented on the average three generations to a cen- tury. Intellectual Greatness. Mr. Redfield holds that intellectual greatness can not occur in conjunc- tion with a series of early reproduc- tions, and these offers are intended to draw out information on that point. Members of the American Genetlc association have for the past year been investigating this question, and have found that most great man come from old parents. They have been able to discover but two cases of eminent men where the ancestry represented, on the average, as little as thirty- three years to a generation. These are William the Conqueror and Fred- erick the Great. If there are any other great men in the history of the world who were the products of sev- eral generations of early reproduc- tion, Mr. Redfleld wants to find out the circumstances. Inherit Results of Work. In his view of evolution every animal inherits some of the results of work done by its parents, and this leads to the helief that the parents which are worked hardest and long- est produce the best offspring. If the parents are never developed by work, he thinks their offspring will have no chance of being superior. He accordingly offers $200 for evi- dence from livestock breeding which will show that where the parents made acquirements which were dis- tinctly below the standard, in respect to work performed, the offspring sur- passed the parents. Fall Below Standard. He believes, indeed, that the off- spring will fall below the standard of the breed, in any case where the acquirements of the parents were distinctly below the standard. Ac- cordingly, he will pay $200 for evi- dence that offspring ever failed to fall below the standard in such a case. Finally, he will pay $200 if it can be shown, for any group of animals, that the amount of improvement or decline in animal powers was not, as nearly as can be determined by the actual records, exactly proportional to the amount of acquirement by an- cestors above or below the normal or standard.
