BLIND DEATHS
CARRY A LESSON.
New Years Celebrations Seem
to Profit by Experience of
Christmas Imbibers.
]. - Authorities

Chicago, Jan. Authorities
throughout the country today
gravely awaited reports from New
Years revels for confirmation or
refutation of their predictions that
the wave of deaths from wood alco-
hol poisoning which tok toll of
approximately 1876 lives during the
Christmas holidays would be re-
peated.
Early today there was slight evil
dence that celebrators of the arrival
of the new year had not profited by
knowledge gained of the effects of
drinking outlawed liquor. The more
pessimistic officials pointed out,
however, that 1t probably would re-
quire full day for the serious con-
sequences generally to become ap-
parent.
Chicopee, Mass, and the Connecti-
cut valley with fifty deaths today
still led all localities that suffered
from the Christmas food of fake
whisky. 1n Chicago thirty two
deaths attributable to wood alcohol
poisoning had occurred since Dec. !,
according to Peter M. Hoffman, Cook
county coroner.
Fully awakened to the dangers of
consuming the poisonous beverage
city, state and federal officers from
New York to San Francisco today
were directing their efforts toward
eliminating sales of the liquid. Sew
eral states attorneys announced
their intention to ask for death PEN
alties for vendors of the poison II
murder indictments were obtained.
In New York San Francisco, Mem
phis, Tenn: New Haven, Conn, and
a number of other cities alleged SELL
ers of the poisonous liquor were un-
der arrest.
Whisky substitutes intended for
New Years ceIebrators at San Fran
cisco contained crude oil, embalming
fluid, oil of peppermint and oil of
carmine, chemical analysis revealed.

|FANCS OF TURKS
ARE REMOVED
Future OF Empire Fixed by
Great Britain and
France.
ALL RACES ARE FREED
(By FLOYD MAGRIFEA

London, Jan. III. N. S)-Tht
future OF Turkey has been fixed nv
Great Britain and France, but the
details are as yet an official secret
Conflicting unofficial reports were in
circulation today regarding the fate
of CoEstantinoples and the future
seat of government.
According to one report the su,-
tan will be allowed to remain in Con-
stantinople and the city will remain
the seat of the Mohammedan religion.
but political control over the Bos-
phorus and the Dardanelles will be
vested In ar international commits
sion. Apparently no European power
Is prepared to trust another with fulI
authority of these important and
strategic waterways. Now that the
United States has refused to accent
a mandate for Constantinople, the
powers have agreed that a Joint con-
troll is the best solution.
The alleged decision to allow the
sultan to remain in Constantiople.
not as ruler of Turkey, but as head
of the Mohammedan faith, and thus
the spiritual leader of some 100000. :
900 Moslem subjects most of whom
are in the British empire, was said
to have been largely Influenced by
the belief that removal of the cali
phate would involve India in tur-
moil.
The Turks fangs are removed,
however, through amputation of
their political influence from a world
standpoint and by freeing all the
races which heretofore have been
subject to Turkish misrule.
Thus, when the big five come to
write the Turkish peace treaty the
main features are expected to be:
1. The manner in which interna-
tional control of Constantinople the
Dardanelles and the Bosphorus is to
be set up, administered and main
tanned.
2. Conditions to be imposed which
can be invoked to limit the contin-
uance of the caliphate OF CONSTANT
nople.
3. The future Of Armenia.

tionalities freed, from Turkishsrnle.s
B, Inslenitsifss III al Ttu1sey. So
8. Spheres OF influence to be ap-
portioned among England. France
Italy and Greece from sections of the
former Turkish empire.
In addition Great Britain has al
ready set UP the king of the Hedjaz
to dominate Arabia and the Syrian
hinterland. while coastal Syria and
bit beyond goes to France.
Armenia, both as to frontiers and
government, Is the uncracked nut
With the United States unwilling to
accept a mandate, the European
powers are in a quandary, for they
hesitate to rush further into liabili-
ties. A mandate for a land barren
of natural resources and natural
wealth has few takers.
How far Greek aspirations in Asia
Minor will be recognized is a matter
OF pure speculation. Nj. Caclamanos,
the Greek minister in London, de-
cIares that Greece is forced to main
tain an army of 100000 men at cost
of S20,000,000 a month"; great sum
for such a small country-and urges
that the Turkish treaty be FASTENED.

Millions for a
Neu Stomach

One Of the greatest American million
aires said to his physician, ga million
dollars, Doctor, spot cash and no grum-
bling, for a new stomach and then
the sick man groaned and turned away.
All his wealth could not make him
happy or contented, for happiness large
ly depends upon digestion. Without
health where does happiness come ici
After all the stomach plays q great
part in everyday life. Without =
healthy stomach and good digestion our
blood is thin, watery and poor, our
heart action is weak, our liver does not
do its duty, and man is miserable and
unhappy. Prevent disease by putting
the house in order and strengthening
the system against the germs Of disease.
DR.. Pierce. of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y,
years ago understood diseases and their
prevention, and he discovered certain
roots and herbs which were natures
remedies, and succeeded in putting them
up in a form that could be easily pro-
cured at the drug store Qiquid or
tablets). This he called Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This Dis
covery gives no false stimulation be-
cause it contains no alcohol or any mar
cotic. 1t helps digestion and the as
similation of such elements in the food

to the blood the food elements the It's
