Turks scared at the Light.

The oriental prejudice which has in
so many cases barred the way to the
introduction of the adjuncts Of Western
civilization is breaking down, but this
does not appear to be the case in Tur-
key, where great prejudice exists
against the use of electricity. The sole
application in evidence in the country
up to the present is the telegraph, and
although large sums have been offered
the government for electric lighting and
telephone privileges, these have been
withheld. The story goes that when
the Mediterranean fleet was once an
chored in the Bosphorus the populace
Of Constantinople grew frantic with
abject terror because they believed the
use of the searchllghts in her majesty's
ships would lead to a visitation from
one of the dread spirits whose doings
and existence even are unknown to
dwellers further west

DIR. PIERCES
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures NineV-eighf per cent. of all
cases of Consumption, In all its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed 10 be incura-
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, III all its
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but large per-
6eniage Of cases, and we believe, /niiI oS
per cent. are cured by DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedipgs from the lungs, severe lingering
cough With copious expectoration dnclud-
ing tubercular matter), great loss Of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds OF such cases
reported TO us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery" were genuine cases OF that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, i'll nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever i'll mis-
representing them, and WHO were often
strongly prcjudiced and advised against
a trial Of Golden Medical Discovery, 1"
but who have Been forced TO confess that
II surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried i'll nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed 10 bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations OF the hypopies-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been

Indians Of the White Earth and Red Lake
reservations in Minnesota have been
granted permission by the President,
upon the advice of the Secretary of the
Interior, to engage in logging and the sale
of certain timber. The recent forest fires

feet Of timber which would have been lost
to the Indians but for the permission
given them to cut and sell it. While this
permit is granted TO the Indians, il is well
known that il will be entirely assumed by

She and Elizabeth Cady Stanton adopted
the style and advocated it's general adop

became associated with and finally known
by her name. BY and by Horace Greeley
