DISCOVER PLOT ..
 10 KILL SULTAN
Arrest of 300 Turks Opposed To War Party Is Made-PIot Laid To
 Armenians.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 18-A plot by Armenians to assassinate the Sultan was discovered today and the Sultan was protected from the assas- sins. More than 300 people have been arrested, including many high government officials and citizens op- posed to the war party in control of the government.
 The arrests were made at daylight, troops raiding many homes and talk ing the suspected parties to the bar racks. German officers commanded the arresting parties and searched the houses for evidence of plots against the Sultan.
 It is generally expected that all Turks known to be opposed to the war will be arrested in a few days and charged with being implicated ir the plot against the Sultan. The alleged plot will give the Young Turks an opportunity to stamp out all opposition.
 A strong detail of troops now guard the Sultan and his palace.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Pub
lie Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, IN
an interview on the subject, made the
astonishing statement that one reason
why so many applicants for insurance
are rejected is because kidney trouble is
SO common to the American people, and
the large majority of those whose appli-
cations are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
According to this it would seem that
medicine for the kidneys, possessing real
healing and curative properties, would
be blessing to thousands.
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y,
who prepare DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the well-known kidney, liver and bladder
remedy, claim that judging from evil
dence received from druggists every
where, who are constantly in touch with
their customers, and also indisputable
proof in the form of grateful testimonial
letters from thousands of reliable citi
zens, this preparation is remarkably sue
cessful in sickness caused by kidney
and bladder troubles. Every interesting
statement they receive regarding Swamp
Root is investigated and no testimonial
is published unless the party who sends
it is reported of good character. They
have on file many sworn statements of
recoveries in, the most distressing cases.
They state that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is mild and gentle in its action and
its healing influence is soon noticed in
most cases.
Swamp Root is purely an herbal COM
pound and DIR. Kilmer & Co. advise all
readers who feel in need of such a rem
edy to give it trial. 1t is on sale at all
drug stores in bottles of two sizes-50c.
and SlO0. However, if you wish first to
test this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton. N. Y,
for a sample bottle. When writing be
sure and mention this paper Adv.

BIG GIFT OF APPRECIATION
HeIen Always Sees CLEAN Of Gold
Somewhere In Someone That No
One Else Ever Detected.

There is one thing about Helen"
says a writer in the Christian Guard
ian. She has a genuine gift Of ap-
probation. Whenever you speak of
anyone she always seems to bubble
over with some kindly appreciation of
her. When someone remarked the
other day that Miss was not at
all pretty she broke out with Yes, but
then some people don't need to be
pretty; they're nice enough without 1t.
1t is always that way with her; she
has seen the CLEAN Of gold some
where in someone that no one else
ever detected or thought of looking
for. Her older sister is a splendid
musician and her younger is quite a
brilliant elocutionist, but don't know
but I'D rather have Helens talent of
appreciating people than to have the
gifts of either of the others. l be-
lieve she gets more joy out Of 1t and
perhaps gives more Joy with it."
1t is a talent toward the acquiring OF
which we can do a great deal by prac-
tice, even IL we seem to be lacking In
1t by nature.

IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Oidi Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and seautlfy
Gray, Faded, LifeIess Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about 80 cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dam
druff, dry. itchy scalp and falling hair
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because 1t darkens SO naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's SO easy to use, too. You
simply dampen comb or soft brush
and draw 1t through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two. it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.
