Cod liver oil Is not simply
fat. There is more to it
than that. OtherWise
cream would answer well.
Because some medicine or
food makes YOU fat IS no
reason why II is as good as
Cod-hvcr oil. This oil has a
number of most peculiar
and valuable agents united
with IT. Neither these
agents nor the oil alone viii
answer. The two must be

HOLMES AND HYPNOTISM.
Leading Specialists DO Not Credit
Him with the Gift.

Holiness wonderful control of himself
and his equally wonderful domination of
others mas brought up the query In the
minds Of hundreds Of people all over the
country, is Holmes mesmerist?
Mrs Pietzel. the wife Of the man for
whose death the famous prisoner is now
ON trial, declares that Holmes had some
unknown power over her that led her TO
implicitly obey him even against her own
conviction. Miss Yoke when on the wit
ness stand did not look upon the prisoner
lest he fascinate her. as he bOasted he
would do, and as he had done before.
Pietzel himself was as pliable In the
hands OF the man as wax. When his wife
begged him to break loose from him he
promised To- do so. but never did. Coroner

OF hypnotism. says he is coming to this

DIR. Charles *. Mills. the famous crimi-

producing hypnotic states In individuals
by certain well-known processes. and that
persons when hypnotized might be made
to do what they would not do when in
their normal state. SO far as Holmes is
concerned, | have not heard any facts
that would bear out the Idea that Holmes
had made use of hypnotsm. In fact
have not carefully investigated the case
In this or any other direction"

BERLIN, November 5.--The following
caused a great sensation In diplomatic
circles In Berlin:
Tewfk Pasha. the Turkish Ambassador,
last Saturday afternoon had
prolonged interview. which ne
himself had especially requested.
the Ambassador left the Chancellor's
presence he appeared to be greatly alarm
ed. He Immediately proceeded to his en-
bassy, whence he sent Rifat Bey, coun-
cillor TO the Turkish embassy. to request
the Austrian Ambassador for passports
evening. That evening the Turkish Am
bassador left Berlin without paying the
visits which are usually made by a for
eign diplomat, receiving his congo, and
without notifying the Reichsanzeiger or
the official newspaper OF his department.
A meeting OF the Cabinet was hastily
summoned on Sunday. over which Prince
Hohenlohe presided. The meeting lasted
several hours. IL Is reported that the
Turkish Ambassador told Prince Hohen-
lone that unless the pressure which Eng
land is exerting upon Turkey we're re-
Taxed the Sudan might become victim
TO domestic revenge. The report further
says that the Ambassador begged Prince
Hohenlohe for assurances that Germany
would not side with England in driving
the Sultan into a dangerous road. Prince
Hohenlohe was unable 10 satisfy the
Ambassador. whereupon the latter left
Berlin abruptly. JUS before leaving he
informed the proprietor or the Ambassa-
doral Hotel, where he was living. that
he did not intend 10 return to Berlin for
long time. and nominated Rifat Bey
as charge d'affairs in his absence.
1t is reported that the Cabinet Council
on Sunday discussed the Turkish question
exclusively, and. finally referred the
matter to the Kaiser for his decision.
