United States Has Done Everything
Possible to Prevent RIOOdshed.

At the outset of reference to the more
important matters affecting our rela-
lions with foreign powers, it would af-
ford me satisfaction if 1 could assure
congress that the disturbances in Asiatic
Turkey had during the past year as
sumed less hideous and bloody aspect,
and that either as a consequence or the
yielding of the Turkish government to
the demand of humane civilization, or as
the result of decisive action on the part
OF the great nations having the right by
treaty to interfere for the protection OF
those exposed to the rage and mad bigotry
and cruel fanaticiSm, the shocking feat
ures of the situation had been mitlgateu
Instead however, of welcoming a soft
ened disposition or protective intervention
we have been afflicted by continued and
not infrequent reports of the Wanton de-
struction of homes and the bloody butch
cry of men, women and children, made
martyrs to their profession OF CHRISTIAN
faith. While none of our citizens in Iur-
key have thus far been killed or wound
ed though often In the midst of dread
full scenes of danger, their safety in the
future is by no means assured our gov

ritory who constitute nearly all the m
dividuals residing there who have right
to claim our protection on the score of
American citizenship.
Our efforts in this direction will not be
relaxed, but the deep feeling and SYM
pathy that have been raised among our
people ought not to SO far blind their
reason and judgment as to lead them to
demand impossible things. The outbreaks
of blind fury which lead to murder and
pillage in Turkey occur suddenly and
without notice, and an attempt on our
part to force such a hostile presence
there as might be effective for proven
ton or protection would not only be re-
sisted by the Ottoman government, but
would be regarded as an intrusion by the

right to intervene at their own time and
by their own method for the security OF
life and property in Turkey.

In the British Medical journal a
Paris correspondent says at least $500
physicians in France are battling with
starvation, and he adds that physicians
themselves are largely responsible for
this state of affairs. They have taught
lady patronesses of different societies
to diagnose diseases, to dress and band
age wounds, to vaccinate their own
children and those of their neighbors.
Medical science is vulgarized in every
way. Doctors write 20 important daily
papers explaining how bronchitis and
cramps of the stomach are to be cured,
and in fashion journals they teach how
to cure pimples and avert headaches.

Spraying fruit trees when in bloom is
considered of paramount Importance
nearly everywhere, and in some states
laws make it obligatory. 1t is so gen.

apiarists complain bitterly. Where
there is an abundance of clover and
other blossoms furnishing sweets, bees
get along all right; but where they de-
pend in large part upon towering
orchards, the question of partial or
complete destruction of the bloom
through spraying is q serious one.

qualities and units it for refrigera alton.
Hence 1t is rushed to market and sold
for whatever it will bring. 1t is sug-

overcome by feeding cottonseed meal.
This food creates difficulty in churn-'
ing at an ordinary temperature, but
the butter will come rapidly when the

TIE Way to Drink Milk.

Many complain that they cannot
drink milk without it's disagreeing with
them. The most common reason why
milk is not readily digested is that it
is taken too rapidly and it enters the
stomach and becomes one solid mass
difficult of digestion. If it is slipped it
is so divided on reaching the stomach
that when coagulated, as it must be by
