same. and the next until all the maya
zines wanted have been taken, then
add the several results and S1.5O be
sides. This is the price for the VAR.
Gus publication you want including the
Monitor a year. Ii you don't want
the Monitor but six months add rs

The Red Rose Sprans From . Drop Of

"A truly religious Turk looks upon
the rose with great reverence" said
a florist. THE rose Is beyond Ques-

and it was SO considered by the Turks
many years before the conquest VI
Granada. There Is Q religious legend
generally believed in throughout Tur-
key that the red rose sprang from Il
drop Of the great prophet MOhammed' 5
blood. Everything beautiful In nature
Is ascribed to him. The Turks. there
fore, have great reverence for the
flower and allow 1t to bloom and die
untouched, except on state occasions
and for the purpose Of making rose
water.
After the conquest by the Turks
they would not worship in any church
until the walls We're cleansed and
washed with rosewater and thus puri.
fled by the blood Of the prophet. it
is used Oh the body for the same pur-
pose. A Turk whose conscience is
stung by some act or deed he has COM
mitted will caress and pay reverence
to the rose to appease the wrath of
the prophet and Allah.
