LAME EVERY MORNING.
\ Bad Bach Is Generally Worse in
the Morning—Shawnee People
Are Finding Relief.
A back that aches all day and
causes discomfort at night is usually
worse in the morning; makes you
feel as if you hadn't slept.
You can't get rid of kidney back-
ache until you reach the cause—the
kidneys Loan's Kidney Pills are es-
pecially prepared for weakened and
disordered kidneys—have been grate-
fully recommended by thousands.
Testimony of Shawnee people
proves the merits of Doan's.
N\ A. Miller, Shawnee, Okla., says:
"For six or eight months I had a
dull ache over my kidneys. I was
tired, lacked energy, and in the morn-
ing I felt so stiff and lame that I
could hardly stand. Occasionally my
back got so painful that I had to lie
down for hours. The kidney secre-
tions also showed by their frequent
passages that my kidueys were dis-
ordered. Doan's Kidney Pills brught
me yelief in a short time, and after
other remedies failed to benefit me
in the least."
Price 10 cents at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Miller had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

SPECIAL TO NEWS-IIEllALl).
Washington, May 20.—Lower Cali-
fornia, Mexico's isolated peninsula,
the coast of which the Pacific fleet
of the United States is now patrol-
ing, is one of the least known terri-
tories in North America. The follow-
ing facts concerning this arm of
land, which projects about 800 miles
southeasterly from the southern bor-
der of California, were given out by
the National Geographic society at
Washington today:
The width of the peninsula varies
from about 30 to more than 100
miles, and its irregular coast line,
over 2,000 miles long, is bordered Dy
numerous islands. Being mainly a
mountainous, desert region, it is
thinly peopled and presents many
sharply contrasting conditions. Low
sun scorched plains, where death by
thirst awaits the traveler, lie close
to the bases of towering granite
peaks, belted by forests and capped
in winter by snow; desolate plateaus
of black lava look down on valleys
seamed with green bordered streams.
At the time of its discovery in
1533 by an expedition sent out by
Cortes in search of a fabulously rich
island, it is estimated to have been
inhabited by 35,000 Indians, who
vigorously resented the intrusion and
prevented the newcomers from get-
ting a foothold for more than a cen-
tury. The Jesuites then came in and
were wonderfully successful in ex-
ploring the peninsula and establish-
ing missions. They established three
main trails, one along each coast
and the third down the middle, which
serve as the regular routes of travel
today. The Indians have vanished
from all parts of their former terri-
tory, except a few in the extreme
northern end.
During the last naif century all
parts of the terrlto *y have been
visited, mainly by Americans, in
search of mines and other natural
resources, but little of the know-
ledge gained has become available
to the public. Gold, silver, copper,
iron and other minerals and much
fertile land have been found, but the
scarcity of water, fuel, forage, and
the difficulties of transportation have
united with other causes to bring
about failure to develop the re-
sources.
The climate of Lower California
in general is hot and arid. Northern

conditions are closely like those in
adjoining parts of southern Cali-
fornia; in the middle they are more
arid, but the extreme southern end,
though arid tropical, has more regu-
lar summer rains. The peninsula
suffers long periods of drought, dur-
ing which no rainfall sufficient to
start vegetation occurs over large
areas for periods of from three to
five years. These dry periods may
be succeeded by torrential rains,
which sweep the country and roll
great floods down to the sea. Sur-
face water is scarce and limited
mainly to isolated water holes in the
rocks or to springs from which small
streams flow a short distance. The
Rio Grande Domingo is the one living
stream within the peninsula which
flows on the surface from its source
to the sea throughout the year. These
conditions have resulted in the de-
velopment of the richest and most
extraordinary desert flora in the
world. The bird and mammal life,
however, is closely related to that of
southern California. The plains
abound with small desert mammals,
such as rabbits, pocket mice, kan-
garoo rats and others. A large num-
ber of the smaller desert mammals
never drink water, it having been
found impossible to teach some of
them to take water in captivity. An-
telope, mountain sheep, mul-deer and
mountain lions are the only large
game animals.
The peninsula is thinly peopled
and enormous areas remain unin-
habited. The most populous section
is the region south of La Paz, where
rains are more regular than further
north. A few small towns and widely
scattered communities along the coast,
with a limited number of villages,
ranches and miner's camps in the
interior, cover the population. Lower
California has a territorial form -of
government, and, owing to its great
length, is divided near the middle
into a northern and a southern dis-
trict. Ensenada and La Paz being the
respective capitals.
