June, took Shipka pass in July and
We're defeated before Pievna in July
and September. They defeated the
Turks at Aladja Dagh Ia Armenia in
October and took Kars by storm in
November. plevna fell in December
and the Russian army passed through
the Balkans, and advanced to the out
skirts Of Constantinople. On March
., 1878, treaty was signed at San
Stefano, a little port on the sea Of
Marmera between Russia and Turkey.
Gar Was Frightened.
All the Balkan peoples, except the
Bulgarians, broke out into a tempest
of protest upon the news of this treaty.
Austria, who saw her dream of reach
ing the Aegean gone glimmering and
even her control of Bosnia and Here
govina shared by Russia, voted co.
100000 gulden for war purposes and
prepared to seize upon Bosnia. Eng
land called out the reserves, and Dis
raeli startled Europe by bringing In

fleet steamed into the sea of Mar
mora and lay near Constantinople.
The concert of Europe" demanded
that the treaty be submitted to a con-
gress of the powers. The coalition
of Europe against him scared the czar
and he consented. The congress OF
Berlin, therefore, met June ID, 1878.
Before attending the congress Disraeli
made a secret pact with the sultan by
which England acquired complete con-
troll of Cyprus. The congress lasted
until July 10. Bismarck presided and
Disraeli, Gorchakov the Russian, and
Andrassy the Austrian were the prin-
cipal figures. Gorchakov and Dis
raeli fought each other tooth and nail.
Once the Russian created a sensation
by gathering up his papers and start
ing to leave the council room. At an
other time Disraeli startled the dele
gates by ordering a special train to
take him to Calais. When the Cyprus
convention came to light the diplomats
felt that Disraeli had tricked them.
That night he attended a reception.
AS he entered q silence fell upon the
angry buzzing Of the assembled states
men. Disraeli understood
"Of what are you 'thinking?' asked
the Princess Radziwill.'
II am thinking of nothing he re-
piled; II am enjoying myself"
The treaty as finally signed by the
congress provided that Bulgaria should
not extend south of the Balkans and
the military occupation of Russia was
reduced to nine months.

Where Martin Luther Begged.

Martin Luther sang in the streets Of
Magdeburg, along with other church
choristers, for the bread and coins
that citizens might bestow. This beg
ging was the recognized means Of sup
port of the children of the poor
schools" attended by sons of peasants,
who obtained free lodging at the hos
pieces of the church, had free tuition.
and were granted the privilege of sing.
ing for their meals. In return they
were expected to sing in the choir of
the church which supported their
school. Modern Magdeburg is the cap.
ital of the Prussian province Of Sax

nearly ninety miles southwest os Ber-
lin, lies mostly on the left bank Of the
Eclbe. and Is an important railway cen,

The modern kingdom of Greece
came into being by treaty signed at
Adrianople in 1929 between Russia
and Turkey, by which the Grecian cap
tivlty of $50 years was ended. Most
of this time Greece was subject TO
Turkey-but not always. During the
latter Middle Ages the Venetians and
other foreign rulers temporarily estaD-
lished their power there. In IT'D the
Turks drove out the Venetians, who
had established themselves on the Gre
clan peninsula % years before, and
ruled undisturbed until the beginning
of the Greek insurrectiOn in 1871. Inc
city of Athens rose and compelled
the Turks to take refuge in the Acrop-
oils; a constitution was proclaimed on
the first day of the next year; All
Pasha. the Turkish general, was de-
feated and killed by the revolutionlsts !;
the Turks took the revolted Island or
Solo with horrible cruelties; the
Greeks captured Napoli di Romania.
A large part of Greece fell into the
hands of the revolutionists.
The war continued with the Greeks
generally successful, until 1925. The
Imagination of Europe had been stirred
by the idea of a revival OF a nation
that was the ancient home of arts and
letters, and Byron had lent his money
and his name to the Grecian cause, TO
die at Missolonghi, in the Greek serv-
ice. Russia was ready to Interfere,
but the governments of the western ma
lions had no idea Of making war for
sentimental reasons.
Western Powers Take Notice.
Early in 1926 Mehemit Ali, the great
viceroy of Egypt, who had an eye on
the throne of Constantinople, put IL
600 men into the Morea under MS
adopted son Ibrahim, who captured
Navarino and the Island OF Sphagia'
which lies before it, Early the next
year Ibrahim was joined by Turkish
army under Reshid Pasha ana
Missolonghi was taken after a six
menths' siege. All that part OF Greece
not occupied then by Turks and Egyp-
tians was now under the influence OF
Kolokotroni, mere Russian agent.
The western powers began to sit up
and take notice" 1t looked as II the
ear and the sultan were about to al
vide Greece between them. The Gre
clan question, from being one OF sent-
ment had become one of practical poll
tics.
Delegates of Russia, France ana
England met in London and, on July
n, 1927, signed convention when
established, on paper, a kingGom OF
Greece. In August the fleets OF Eng
land, France and Russia blockaded the
Turco-Egyptian fleet Of over 90 men
of-war lying in the harbor OF Nava-
rino On October 20 the allied fleets
entered the harbor and, after q battle
OF five hours, totally destroyed

Knocking the Judge.

A discouraged counsellor remarked
to the court, "My poor client is little
likely to get justice done her until
the judgment day."
"Well, counsellor" said the judge,
"if have an opportunity I'll plead for
the poor woman myself on that day."
"Your honor" replied the other,
twill have troubles of your own upon
that day."

FAT LESS AND TAKE
 SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take glass of Salts before breakfast If your Back hurts or Bladder
 bothers you

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because We eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish: the eliminatiye tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and general decline in health
 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather IS bad, get from your phar- maeist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine 80 it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
 Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure, makes delightful effervescent Whitewater beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having good kidney flush. ing any time.
