to why blind people do not
smoke. 1t usually is headed by
the question "why do not blind
people smoker" and then process
to explain that being unable to
see the fire or smoke they can not
taste the tobacco. The real an
swer to the question is Because
they do" Now, if our readers
will just call to mind every blind
person whom he knows, he will
find majority of them do smoke
and apparently enjoy it. The
only serious difficulty that they
meet with it is lighting cigar or
pipe. Being assisted in that,
they do the rest.

FRANCE SHUTS DOOR.
VIII Not Sell TO Turkey Nor Loan Her
ANY Money.

Constantinople, Feb. S.-Germany's
victory in capturing the contract for
the rearmament of the Turkish artil-
lery threatens to result in a serious dis
turbance of F'ranco-Turkish political re-
latiOns. The French am baSSadOr here,
NJ Constans. proposes to leave Con-
stantinOple soon for Paris TO consult
with foreign Minister Delcasse. Mean
while the ambassador has informed the
Turkish government that the French
market is closed to any fresh Turkish
loan.

tried to compromise the matter. offer
ing to settle the Syrian railway ques-
tion in a manner satisfactory to the
French claimants and to purchase mil
itary equipment to the amount of 81,
500. GOO in France The ambassador,
however. demanded the expenditure of
S6,000,0 600, being One-third of the value
of the new armament with French gun
factories and the complete satisfa elton
of the French demands regarding the
railroads. These terms the ambassador
declared to be final and not having re-
ceived d reply February 6, the ambas-
sador informed the Turkish government
that he refused to continue the negoti-
atoms adding that the French market
was closed to further Turkish loans. AS
a result of this notification the Otto
man bank withdrew its proposals for
the projected loan and notified the
minister of finance. Reshad Pash4,
that it would not entertain any re-
quest of the government for advances
The Duetsche bank then came to the
portes aid with an offer to assist the
treasury. The Germans are thus for
the moment in complete possession of
the financial field and an trade has al
ready been promulgated, ordering the
purchase of all the new guns in Ger
man factories but il has been decided
only to rearm so batteries at present in

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts on the Same Subject


We hear much nowadays about helath
foods and hygienic living, about vege-
tarlanism and many other fads along
the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the
large cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank IS
IN his glory, and arguments and the
cries galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomachs, and almost make US believe
that our sturdy ancestors who lived
four score years in robust health on
roast beef, pork and mutton must have
been grossly ignorant of the laws of
health.
our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in mat
ters of diet, and a mixed diet of grains,
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the
best.
AS compared with grains and vegeta-
bles, meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in highly concentrated form and
is digested and assirnilated more quick
~ than vegetables and grains.
DR. Julius Remmson on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run down
in health and of low vitality should eat
meat ana plenty of it. If the digestion
is too feeble at first it may be easily
corrected by the regular use of Stuart's
dyspepsia Tablets after each meal Two
OF these excellent tablets taken after
dinner viii digest several thousand
grains Of meat, eggs or other animal
food in three hours, and no matter how
weak the stomach may be. no trouble
viii be experienced if a regular prac-
tice is made OF using Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets, because they supply the
pepsin and distaste necessary to perfect
digestion, and every form of indiges-
ton VIII be overcome by their use.
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure it's
proper digestion, by the daily use of a
safe, harmless digestive medicine like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets composed of
the natural digestive principles. pepsin,
diastase, fruit acids, and salts, which
actually perform the work of digestion.
Cheap cathartic medicines, masquerade
ing under the name of dyspepsia cures
are useless for indigestion as they have
absolutely no effect upon the actual oil
gestion of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is
simply failure of the stomach to di-
gest food, and the sensible way to solve
the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to
make daily use at meal time of q pre-
paration like Sturart's DYSPEPSIA Tab
lets, which is endorsed by the medical
profession and known to contain active
digestive principles.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at so cents for full treatment.
