MUST USE FOUR LANGUAGES
Advertisers in Turkey Necessarily
Under Handicap That Amounts
to a Good Deal,

In order to advertise in Constants.
nople it is necessary to use four Ian
Suages. The market is hard to cult
vate, but newspapers give good results
there. The population of CONSTANT
nople is very cosmopolitan, and all the
foreigners speak their own language
and read their own newspapers, writes
Trade: Commissioner. Eliot G. Mears.
To reach the public in general, adver-
tisements should be published in news
papers, of at least four languages.
However, the best results are OBJ
tained' by publication in Turkish news
papers, for, on the one hand, the Turk
lsh population is most numerous, and
on the other the Turkish reader is more
susceptible to the claims of ADVERTISE
lnents than are Europeans and Ar
menians. 1t has been found by expe-
rience that advertising in newspapers
gives very good results in CONSTANT
nople, especially, If it is pushed Wig
OrOusly.
No advertising is carried on tram
cars. Street advertising is not pro-
tected by law and cannot be recon-
mended to foreign concerns. The cir
ulation of newspapers is not, great.

MoNoPoLNLosT BY GERMANY
American Chemists Are Now Produc.
ing. the Rare Sugars Required
~ = for. Scientific Purposes. ::

Not least among the triumphs Of
the new American chemical industry
has been the production Of the rare
sugars, so long a German monopoly.
The sugars were called for by the
small hospitals, as they are required
IN small amount in meteorological
laboratories-one Of them, for in
stance, being the most sensitive slim
nlent of typhoid growth, while 9th
erS serve in the detection Of cholera
germ. The infinite care necessary to
prepare them in a state of absolute
purity makes their cost seemingly
enormous. The most expensive rare
sugar catalogued is stated by Drug
and Chemical Markets to be dulcitol,
at 1915 a pound, while mannose is
worth $40 a pound. This is Il deli
cate and delicious sweet derived from
mamma, which is secreted in thin scales
from certain trees and shrubs, and
with which the children of Israel were
tremendously fed during their wander
ings in the wilderness. Xylose, quoted
at $12O a pound, is made from the corn
cob: inulin is obtained from the bulb
OF the dalllia at certain seasons of tho
year. Other rare sugars are-aribi-
nose, at 500 at pound: levulose, $50
a pound, and raffi1ose. $50 a pound.

Setter Weather Forecasts,

Weather forecasts for months ahead
will be possible within few years as
a direct result Of solar observations,
r. NJ. Stewart assistant director of
the Dominion observatory, told the
Royal Astronomical Society Of Canada.
The sun is the great influence over
varying weather conditions on the
earth, and recent observations Of it
have led to the belief that observa-
tories will be able to predict with &C.
curacy the general trend Of weather
for six months or even a year ahead,
he said.
TO be able to foretell the amount
Of precipitation and the general
temperature for several months in
advance may take so or even 100
years of observation, he added, but
expressed the confidence of the OBJ
servatory that this end would be
reached.

There is no animal harder worked

German "Thorouqhness."

Max Walter. head of a boys train
ing, school in Frankfort, tells the fol-

German thoroughness:
A venerable teacher in one of Ger,
nlany's preparatory schools was dis.
tractcdly ambling about his study one
day when he noticed a stray piece of
paper. Picking it up he saw that it
was a Latin composition from one OF
his devoted disciples.
On looking at it more closely he de-
tccted an error which he had over
looked Seating himself at his desk,
lie dipped his pen in good red ink and
maG, the necessary correction. He
then. folded the paper into neat
roll, stuck it i'll the fire, and with it
lighted his pipe.

Worth While Things Lie Deep.

The mo re you work what you have
the more you will find it worth work
ing. 1t often happens that the best
minerals lie deeper down. The slate
stuff lies near the roof. Ideas that
lie near enough to the surface to be-
come the easy prey Of the casually
passing are seldom Of any great worth.
They may be all right, but they belong
to the common variety. It's what you
have to dig for that counts. He who
is willing to spend time by the day
light and the lamplight will have some
thing to show for his efforts. In this
as in other things nature says, ITO
him that hath shall be given" The
mind that has learned to wrestle with
great thoughts can manage great en-
terprises. 10 the man Of understand
ing is given the joy Of deeper think
ing and richer blessings for the world.

tinue digging for the ores Of WORTH

There are'various estimates on milk
production costs and they are likely
to be different under different circum-
stances: Moreover, there is consider
able variation in milk quality, also, as
it ranges from barely three per cent

However, none of the figures available
show that the producer Of milk is

In Illinois the state experiment sta
ton secured accurate figures on milk
production costs from $50 dairy farms
with total OF 1902 COWS. Those fig
ures showed the cost of all items en-
tering into the production Of 100
pounds of milk as follows:
