When the Sultan Goes to Pray.

When the Sultan Of Turkey attends
the Friday midday prayer at the
mosque in Constantinople, the garri-
son of 5000 men are stationed along
the route so that he shall be safely
guarded from the moment he leaves
his palace until he is on his carpet in
his sacred edifice. He often rides in
closed carriage, surrounded by q body
guard. He makes these weekly jour
ncys in fear of his life. and he insists
upon every preoaution being taken.
Thousands of people gather to see the
Ruler of the Faithful, but the best way
to see him is TO get the ear of the
Chamberlain or Grand Nizier, who, by
judicious bribery, may be prevailed
upon to admit you to the strangers box
OF the mosque. where priests and poll
ticians, soldiers. sailors and civilians
jostle one another in their desire to OBJ
tain a glimpse of Abdul Hamid at
prayer.

HOW VERY SIMPLE
DR.. Sanden'S Method Is.

There is force in your body which keeps up
the health of the nerves, blood, kidneys, liver,
heart etc. You call it vitality.
Vitality is often wasted by Sickness exposure
excesses-by some unnatural strain upon the vital
functions. When wasted it is hard to recover.
This vitality, you call it, is electrical

carried over your body by your nerves
When it is wasted Dr. Sander will restore it.
Dr. Sanden's Electrical Belt will pour stream of

Women health inspectors have been employed In
Yonkers since 1895. In that year the medical in
spector of the Board OF Health suggested to the

Of the Board of Health and much valuable work
has been accomplished. The knowledge that
she is coming leads TO a general houseceanng. In
