TURKEYS RULER A SICK MAN
Office Press Heavily Upon His
Shoulders.

The sultan OF Turkey, Mohammed
V. the head OF Islam and the thirty
sixth ruler of the house OF Osmau. is
sick. Once such a report would bring
up visions of royal relatives mysteri-
ously poisoned, bowstrung or dropped,
bound and sacked. into the dark Wa
ters of the BospOrus. and of fortune
tellers, wizards and exorcisers crowd
ing around the ailing sovereign bed
side. Now the people talk OF prospec-
tive heirs and OF regents, while the
sultan's Christian ally commends him
to Allah and sends his ablest physi-
clan.
When the young Turks lifted Pas
child Enendi upon the throne from
which they had showed his brother,
Abdul Hamid, they dragged a man OF
siXty-fve from a palace where he had
been all his life scarcely more than
prisoner. In years OF inactivity his
body had grown big, big in width.
breadth and length, burden for his
short legs. He was a sick man then.
On the Selaflik Fridays the Challty
paleuess of his heavy face and the
dullness OF his eyes were accentuated
by the troops of young guardsmcn in
brilliant uniforms and the officers in
glittering gold braid who surrounded
him. The picture had in it more Of
pathos than Imperialism.
When he went to appeal to the 10y
atty of the Aibanians on the field Of
KassOvO, Macedonia, he was the first
Ottoman sovereign to visit his prov
inces on mission of peace. But the
Albanians, who had imagined the sui
tan had wings and few of humanity S
frailties, were disappointed at the
sight of the heavy, feeble man in a
black frock coat, and the mission
failed. He seemed to lack either the
knowledge or the physical force to
combat the shrewd politicians around
him, and he became merely a figure
head for the dominant party of the
committee of union and progress.
Many things may happen with the
passing of this sick man. He may be
the last of the Osmanli to rule in Eu
rope; he may be the last to bear the
honors and title Of the caliphate. But
he has been a part of the almost for
lorn hope to restore the glories of the
empire, and has lived to see Turkish
army with munitions of war and sup
plies making a desperate and so fal
successful attempt to hold the almost
sacred Dardanelles against a great en-
emy.-New York Sun.

NOT AS HE EXPRESSED THEM
Transfers Words Would Have Re-
CURED Adjustment Before Their
Use in the Pulpit.

A man was brought before police
court charged with abusing his team
and using loud and profane language
on the street. One of the witnesses
was a pious old darby, who was sub
mitted to a short cross-eXaminatiOn.
Did the defendant use improper
language while he was beating his
horses?" asked the lawyer.
We'll he talk mighty loud, sub"
Did he indulge in profanity"
The witness seemed puzzled. The
lawyer put the question in another
form:
What ! mean. Uncle Aus, is-did
he use words that would be proper for
your minister to use in a sermon"
"Oh, yes subj" the old man replied
with grin that revealed the full
width of his immense mouth; but
dey'd have to be ranged diff'runt. -

France HAS GIANT
kUMORED BATTLE CRAFT
New Fleet Of French Aeroplanes VIII
Garry Twelve Men, One 3-lnch Cum
Machine Guns and Torpedoes.

Partisan aerial army is no longer
a dream. Such an army, formed IN
divisions md squadrons with battle
aeroplanes, cruiser aeroplanes. scouts
and torpedo planes all armed heavily
and carving three-inch cannon and
rapid fire guns, is a reality. 1t has
been made possible through the re-
markable development OF military
aviation In France.
The French government this week
permitted foreign correspondents the
first inspection Of its new fleet oil
aeroplanes. Opportunity was given 10
inspect the large and small types OF
the new battle planes and watch them
as they were maneuverirg high in the
air, firing round after round from
their three-inch rifles, while they
scared, looped and darted about.
Entering the aviation field the cor
respondents saw monster battle
plane thirty feet high with a number
OF planes stretching $50 feet across
Further back was ranged the fleet OF
battle crisers and scout planes. They
were formed like a battalion, twenty
planes in a row across the front and
ten deep. Their huge wings made a
front half a mile wide.
Each squadron will consist of nine
aeroplanes of all types, including one
battle plane, two battle cruisers and
six scout planes. The complement foT
squadron will be upward OF fifty OK
ficers and men for the operation OF the
aeroplanes and their transportation
on lorries drawn by automobiles with
which each squadron will be equipped

To be neat and to be simple is the
province of the dress which is made to
be worn about the house for the daily
use of the housewife. The house dress
has its own devotees among design
ers, and their thought is spent upon
making it attractive and substantial
and entirely suited to the needs Of the
woman who busies herself with the
affairs OF her housekeeping.
To be successful with the house
gown is to understand first how to Sc
lect the material for making it. This
must be a durable wash fabric In a
neat pattern and stable colorings. The
crispness and freshness of the newly
Numbered gown is its best attraction,
and this is to be kept in mind when
material Is bought for It. .Ginghams,

Value OF CROPS IN U. S.
GREATEST EVER PRODUCED
Wheat Leads. and Yield VIII Exceed
Billion Bushels. According to the
Government Estimates.
(Copyright)

WASHINGTON. - American harvests
this year will be the most valuable
ever produced. With the wheat crop
exceeding a billion bushels, the larg-
est ever produced in one season oy
any nation, and a corn crop whlch
also may prove TO be the largest ever
grown. the governments October crop
report issued Thursday announced
preliminary estimates which indicate
record harvests of oats, barley, rye
sweet potatoes, rice, tobacco ana nay
Corn still is king of crops with in
dications of 3.O26,159,00O bushels.
While that is 8S,000,000 bushels below
the record of 1912, the final production
may more than make up the de-
ficiency. The higher prices this year
assure the most valuable corn crop
ever grown. At prices TO farmers pre-
vailing October l, the corn crop is
worth $2,133,OOO,OOO.
Wheat prospects increased as the
growing season progressed so that the
preliminary estimate OF production
was placed at 1902, O29,000 bushels
Wet weather at harvest time, however
reduced the quality of winter wheat
so that much of it will not be avail
able for milling purposes and will
have to be used for feed. At prices
prevailing October /, the farm value
of the crop is s91O,s44,OO0, consider
ably more than ever was paid for a
wheat crop before.
September weather was particularly
destructive to potatoes, causing re-
duction of 81 $4,000 bushels, or 1O
per cent, in the forecast of production
Tobacco also suffered from unfavor
able conditions, which caused de
crease Of Fl, $4,000 pounds in the pro
duction forecast.
Tobacco, however, promises to ex
coed the record crop Of 1909 by $4,000,
600 pounds.
Oats will exceed the record crop o
1912 by almost 100, 100000 bushels
Barley will exceed its record by 10

5000 900 bushels; rice by $4,000 bush
els, and hay by S,O00,000 tons.

LARGE DEPOSITS of NovacuIlte Found.

Austin, Tex.-While engaged in ex-
ploration in the mountains OF West
Texas during the past summer. Chas.
Laurence Baker of the bureau of eco
nomic geology, University OF Texas,
found large deposits of novaculite, a
valuable oil stone heretofore found in
the United States only in the Ouachita
mountains of West Central Arkansas.
The novaculite in Texas is found in
North Central Brewster county, along
the line of the Southern Pacific rail-
road from Raymond westward to be-
yond Marathon. A small area OF II
is found north of the railroad north
and northeast OF Marathon, but 1t has
by far its largest extent south of the
railroad, in which direction it is found
for fully fifteen miles.

white with the several fast shades of
blue, green, lavender and light brown.
These are often combined with plain
fabric in a solid color, as in the dress
shown in the picture.
The house dress is to be cut in one
piece and loosely adjusted to the fg-
ure. The sleeves are not to be longer
than three-quarter length and the skirt
should hardly reach the instep. The
pattern should provide for easy iron
ing and the dress should fasten at the
front or side-front. with buttons and
buttonholes. There are many different
designs to choose from, and they do
not vary greatly from year to year,
for the house dress is not required to
follow the fads of fashion.
1t is a good plan to shrink materials
and test them to see il colors are
ytable, before making up. And the
| house dress must be complete In it
self-not requiring an extra collar oil
belt but easily and quickly slipped OF
and fastened.

and adorned with very small sprays
of embroidery. The shaped revers at
the front are plain, finished about the
edges with hemstitching, and carry

RHEUMATISM A>MYSTERY

Some diseases give immunity from
another attack but rheumatism works
just the other way.
Every attack of rheumatism invites
another. Worse than that it reduces
the body's power so that each attack
is worse than the one before.
If any disease needs curing early it
is rheumatism but there is almost no
disease which physicians find more
difficult to treat successfully. Whom
a medicine does help rheumatism no.
body knows how or why it does it.
All authorities agree that the blood
becomes thin with alarming rapidity
as rheumatism develops. Maintain
ing the quality of the blood therefore
is a reasonable way of preventing and
combating rheumatism. That 1t works
out in fact Is shown by the beneficial
results in the treatment of rheuma-
tism, acute, muscular and articular.
with the blood tonic, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
That hundreds who take DR.. Will
liams' Pink pills for their rheumatism

the rheumatism does not return as
long as the blood is kept rich and red
