other men but himself had hown be-
cause they could not stand the pace.
He refused to be disturbed in his sum-

Sunday night they had him in the

The Turk suspects everybody and
everything and no private act, no Sc
clusion, Is safe from his intrusion.
Every telegram sent from the public
offices is at once reported to the au-
thorities. No one can safely send
letter by the Turkish post unless he is
willing to have it opened and read and
take the chances Of having it confis-
Gated If the censor finds anything that
can be twisted into an insult to Mo
hammedanism.
As a result of this condition and the
inability of foreigners residing in Tur-
KEY to communicate with any certainty
with their friends, some of the great
European nations have established
postoffices Of their own in Turkish
cities. in which they employ only Eu
ropeans, use their own stamps and
watch their mailbags until they pass
beyond the prying eyes Of the Turks.
In Salonica there are no fewer than
five estoffices-British. Austrian.
French, Servian and Turkish; in Con-
stantinople six. II one wishes to be
sure of his mail he must inquire at
four of them at least, and If he really
wants to have his letters reach their
destination he must send them through
some postoffice other than Turkish.

cannot be sure Of a complete knowl-
edge of all the conversation that might
pass the telephone has been excluded

Nowadays we find merchants going into
their offices in the coolest attire and there
changing into conventional garb during

Some bold youths nave been endeavoring
to introduce the habi of going hatless,

on their way, as If nothing were wrong

The most exciting experiment was when
Mr.. Edge. having cut the inner cases OF a
rear tire OF his racer, dashed up and down
the track, with the view of showing the
effect of casting a tire, but to make the
tire fly of was no easy matter. He jerked
the car from side TO side, made it swerve
violently. as IL turning a sharp curve. but
1t was not until after many attempts that
the tire did leave the wheel. when the car
continued the journey with a front de-
fiated tire and a rear tireless rim.
Mr.. Edge said only a slight diminution
in the speed brought TO his notice the fact
that the tire had gone but when Ques-
toned as to the danger Of the spokes
breaking, as In the case of an accident
which resulted In the death Of Sir William
Rattigan, Mr.. Edge said:
When the spokes are of sound oak
there can be no strain put upon them in
the cars turning corners which the wheels
ought not to be able to Withstand. In the
Rattigan case the chauffeur had already
had a collision with a bank. which must
have started the spokes. but an automobile
starting sound on a journey can't come to
grief in that way.
There Is one danger in the future, how
eyer. The supply of well-seasoned oak cut
the proper way for automobile wheels is
falling short of the demand, and unless
wel-seasoned wood Is used there is UNI
doubtedly danger of the wheels giving
way unless carefully watched and period.

EX-COMVICT ASKS COURT
FOR REFUGE IN PRISON.
George w. Tells New York

nine convictions and as many terms in
prison. George w. Johnson has appealed
to Police Magistrate Ommen for refuge
in the Penitentiary, because he is unable
to earn an honest living and must either
steal or starve.
The Magistrate granted Johnson's plea,
with the prOviso that he would send him
TO the Penitentiary in order to keep him
from temptation. and in the meantime
would try to find some work for the ex-
convict. where he would not be reminded
of his past.

years. There he learned the trade OF shoe
making. but soon found he was a marked
man among fellow-craftsmen and could
not retain a position.
He was driven again TO steal and went
through the same experience nine times.
johnson declared his experience. which he
told in uetail. TO be 4 common one among
ex-convicts, and said that. despite his
repeated failures. he was determined to
live an honest life in the future.

male weakness.
Pelvic catarrh is a phrase coined by DR.:
Hartman, covering all that large class of
diseases that used to be known as female
weakness. The lower portion of the alb
domen is called by anatomists the pelvis.
The organs contained in this portion OF
the body are known as the pelvic organs.
There are several of them, very delicate
and very subject to catarrh- Few women
escape entirely catarrh of these organs.
While each case presents some minor DIFF
ference as to detail, they are all in reality
alike.
Pelvic catarrh. therefore. is a generic
term that covers all cases or catarrh OF
the pelvic organs. There is no cure equal
in promptneSs and permanency to a
short course OF Peruna.
Peruna does not relieve these cases by
temporarily mitigating some symptom,
but BY a removal of the cause. Many a
woman can testify that local treatment
does not permanently cure. A large multi
tude OF women are constantly going from
DOCTOR to doctor to receive local treatment.
