from the National Assembly and from
the military chiefs. The Sultan will
be offered a palace and liberal allow

The Parliamentary leaders wish to
discuss this program at a public sitting
before they approach the Sheik- Ul-Is-
lam on the subject, for it is with this
man, who lives a secluded life Of a
mysterious. semi-holy character, in the
popular belief. that the difficulty lies.
He is not likely to act without giving
serious consideration to this important
matter. taking counsel with the prin-
cipal Ulema and seeking the opinion
of the wisest and most powerful men
in the church.
Tho Constltutionalists have no wish
to oppose ecclesiastical authority nor
to undertake the tasks of progress
without the support of a majority Of
the wise men and if they strongly OPP
pose the abdication OF the Sultan, 1t
would hardly be insisted upon at pres
ent, although this is regarded as the
simplest course to avoid further COM
plications with Abdul Hainid.
Mchemmed Rechad Efcendi, the heir
apparent to the throne, who would
probably be selected for the accession,
has been practically prisoner for rs
years in the large palace and gardens
not far from the Yildiz Kiosk. Since
the July revolution, however, he has

HARD SENSE HEALTH HINTS

The Cooper stomach man" spent
busy afternoon yesterday talking with
a stream of callers and explaining his
ideas. He did not seem to think him
self rushed, however. This is moth
ing, he said, compared to the thou
sands of people used to meet daily in
the big cities of the east. am very
glad that the crowds are proportion
ately so small in this city. 1t gives
me more opportunity to study each in
dtvidual case. In every city 1 visit it
Is always the same. Local people are
astonished by the number of callers
receive. The explanation is very sim
pie Just as soon as 1 prove to several
thousand people who are half sick that
there is nothing the matter with them
but stomach trouble, and that my rem
edies will make a stuffed-up, sluggish,
ured-out stomach into an active,
healthy, virile one-then 1 become
really busy. It is when people begin
to tell their friends about what my
remedies have done for them that my
rush really begins.
Men are nothing but animals. The
highest order Of animals, to be sure, but
they were never intended by nature to
be shut up all day and have all the food
they could eat without exercising the
body sufficiently to consume it. No
animal could stand this. Take a dog,
for instance let him run wild in the
country and he will wolf down his
meals and never be sick. Shut him up
in the city and make a parlOr pet of
him, and what happens? He gets sick
ly, and shifts disgustedly at the food
you give him. He has many diseases
and is lazy and dOped with food Most
people today are in the same shape
literally doped with food. They are
half sick, and they don't know just
what is the matter with them. Take
my word for it, it's their OverwOrked
digestive apparatus that causes the
trouble"
Among people who called on Cooper re-
Gently was W. H. Patten of Payson,
Utah who said: THE Cooper prepara-
ton is all Mr.. Cooper claims have
been a great sufferer from chronic stOm-
ach trouble. Everything 1 ate disagreed
with me, and even the smell of cook
ing would nauseate men. I have taken
COOper's full course of treatment, and
now I am entirely cured
when I first took this medicine I had
been i'll for several years, and neither
physicians nor medicines helped me in
the least. This is the first preparation
I ever found that has real merit and
will do what is claimed for it,"
