Meerschaum and the Turks.

Meerschaum used to be considered
a mere curiosity by the Turks. who
had no other use for it than as a sub
stitute for fuller's soap. The story runs
that the Turkish ambassador at the
Austrian court. in the eighteenth cen
fury. was native Of Eski Scheir
Wanting to help his city at a time of
great poverty. he took sample of this
queer stuff to Vienna, thinking that
the Franks as all foreigners were
then called. might have some use for
1t. The Germans were quick to see
its utility for pipe bowls, but declared
that it was good for nothing else. More
than a century has confirmed this
judgment for who has yet discovered
any other use for meerschaum? For
pipe making it is an ideal raw ma
terial. Here is a stone which is easily
moulded when wet. and when dry be

HOW FRENCH PEOPLE 'e'
CURE STOMACH TROUBLE

A household remedy of the French
peasantry, consisting of pure vegetable
oil, and said to possess wonderful merit
in the treatment of stomach, liver and
intestinal troubles, has been introduced
in this country by George H. Mayr, who
for twenty years has been one of the
leading down town druggists of Chi
cago and who himself was cured by its
use. So quick and effective is its action
that a single dose is usually enough to
bring pronounced relief in the most
stubborn cases, and many people who
have tried it declare they never heard
of anything to produce such remarkable
results in so short time. 1t is known
as Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy
and can now be had at almost any drug
store. 1t is now sold here by
