PROPOSAL Of the
POWERS ACCEPTED
OTTOMAN GRAND COUNCIL vorEa
TO ACCEPT PLAN OF POWERS
70 BRING ABOUT PEACE.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 22,-The
grand council Of the Ottoman empire
voted today in favor Of accepting the
proposal put forward by the European
powers for the purpose of bringing
about the conclusion OF peace.
The note handed to the porte Jan.
uary II by the European ambassadors
at COnstantin0ple called the Ottoman
governments attention to "the grave
responsibility It would assume IL by
resistance to their counsels 1t should
prevent the re-establishment Of
peace" 1t would only have itself to
blame If the prolongation Of the war
had as a consequence to put In ques-
tion the fate of the capital and per-
haps to extend hostilities to the Asia
tic provinces of the empire. The
document continued that "in that case
the Turkish government could not
count on the successes of the efforts
of the powers to preserve it from the
danger against which they had al.
ready warned 1t and which they once
more warned 1t to avoid" The powers
then called the attention Of the Otto.
man government to the fact that after
the conclusion of peace it would have
need of the moral and material sup.
port of the powers to repair the evils
of the war to construct ifa nnsitinn Mt
Constantinople and to develop it's vast
Asiatic territories. The note pointed
out that the Turkish government
could count on the efficacy of the
benevolent support of the powers only
as long as it deferred to their counsel,
inspired by the general interests OF
Europe and Turkey. The powers
then advised Turkey to consent to the
cessation of Adrianople and to leave
to them the fate of the Aegean Islands.

Get Your Blood Purified With s. s. S.

| The skin is but a net work of fine

natural consequence that any influence
in the blood that is d condition of i'll
health makes it's first appearance in
the skin. There are certain medicinal
properties that follow the course Of
the blood stream and the influence of
! these properties is that of an anti
dote. This is why s. S S., the best
known blood purifier, has such a posi-
tive action in the skin. There is one
ingredient in S. S. S. which peculiarly
stimulates cellular or glandular activ-
| ity to select from the blood or from
this fine net work of blood vessels in
the skin, those elements which it re-
quires for regeneration.
Thus pimples, acne eczema, lupus,
tacks the skin or seeks an outlet
dotal effect of S. S. S
This is why skin troubles vanish so
readily and why they do not return.
Under the influence of S. S. S. this
fine net work of blood vessels in the
skin is constantly taking from the
blood the nutrition required for
healthy tissue and the cause of disease
is just as constantly being removed,
scattered and rendered harmless. These
facts are more fully explained in a
book on skin troubles sent by The

LOTT TELLS HIS TROUBLES
WITH NEW YORK REPORTERS
Women Wanted His Views on Sterili-
cation of Criminals.

Paris, June 6. = The account by
Pierre Lott of his New York visit opens
todays number of Illustration. He
describes his interview with forty-odd
reporters on his first day ashore. Lott
says the reporters asked If he was an
anarchist polygamist, idiot, feeble
minded and the size of his income.
They wanted to know if he had ever
been in Jail and what he thought of
American girls an hour after he had
been in the country and when the on
ly American female he had seen Was
negress chambermaid. There were
so many reporters, he says, that there
were not chairs enough to go around,
many of them sat on the floor and
the bed was covered with them.
Two women reporters, who said they
were just back from rhinoceros hunt
ing, asked Lott according to his story,
his views on rhinoceros chasing, the
sterilization of criminals, French poll
tics and the use of aeroplanes in war,
At the close of the interview Lott ex-
claimed to himself, "What1l become OF
this hocus-pocus? What impression
will it make when it is printed in the
paper?"
Pierre Lott says he found the Broad
way night female beauty spectacle ex-
|cellent, except that there were alto
gether too many negresses. His chief
admiration was the electric light ad-
/ vertisements, especially the moving,
dramatic ones.
