Friday the Only Day They Have a
Little Liberty.

Little Liberty.
Friday Is the only day on which
Turkish women enjoy little liberty

Asia. which consist of small river
running about two miles inland, with
trees ara meadows on each side.
Hundreds OF boats assemble and
glide up and down the river Every
boat or caique has two or more Turk
ish ladies on board. The sight is a
very fine one. as each private cRique

- TOBACCO A GREAT EVIL?

A Kalamazoo (Michigan) man Is dead IN MS elgh1y

twelve years he had consumed $4,000 cigars and in the
last twenty years his life is estimated that ne
smoked 100000 an average 5000 cigars year and
OF nearly IA per day.
These surprising do not prove that tobacco is
harmless but they prove that it is not nearly
so injurious its critics have believed.
It seems probable that great Ills are attributed
to the tobacco habit for My Lady Nicotine is in no
wise responsible Persons who dislike the weed have
said that cancer but statistics show that there
are more deaths from among women than among
men Heart disease indigestion catarrh and impaired
vision are also attributed it, but tobacco users
suffer from all these ailments
1t is significant too, that the average longevity Of
mankind has increased materially since tobacco came
into general use and while this argue that to-
bacco prolongs life that is not injurious when
used to excess it indicate pretty clearly that in
moderation it is well enough.
Nor viii the arguments against it on the score Of ex
travagance bear close investigation. Men women
too will spend about certain proportion of their in
