MUST USE FOUR LANGUAGES
Advertisers In Turkey Necessarily
Under q Handicap That Amounts
to . Good Deal.

In order to advertise In CONSTANT
nople II Is necessary to use four IAN
gunges. The market is hard to Guilt
vnte. but newspapers give good results
there. The population Of Constanti-
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 he 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.
Ish population is most numerous. and
on the other the Turkish reader IL more
susceptible to the claims Of advertise
ments than are Europeans and Ar
meninns. II has been found by expe-
rience that advertising in newspapers
gives very good results In CONSTANT
nople. especially II 1t IL pushed Wig
orously.
No advertising is carried on tram
ours. Street advertising Is not pro-
tected by law and cannot be recon-
mended to foreign concerns. The cir
ulation Of newspapers is not great.
French newspapers have an approxt-
mate issue Of 5000 to 5000. Greek T.

BUILT IN STAGE COACH DAYS
shuii Tavern, In Ohio, 10 q Relic That
Surely Should Be Well Worth
Preserving.

On the old state road between Pitts
burgh and Mansfield. O., stands the
old ShuIl tavern, a relic Of the stage
coach days The early ancestors OF
the present Shull family came origin
ally from the Black forest In Ger
mnny. In 1859. because Of the wars
which agitated Europe at that time
they emigrated to America. From
this family came Henry Shull. who
moved to Ohio in 1905, and took a
section Of land on the old state road.
where he built the old two-story build
Ing which is stili known as the Shull
tavern. The old home Is still In eN-
cellent condition.
Henry Shull built his own sawmili
to cut the logs for the building. and
burned the brick he used. The house
contains large rooms. and has large
yeranda above and below, which ex-
tends the entire length Of the house.
One of the most striking features
Of the house proper Is the front door.
THIS door is built Of solid piece Of
oak, and the outside Is paneled in the
old colonial fashion. The side win
dows are also quaint. and the latch,
with a heavy lock on the inside, In Of

FIND EELs' BREEDING PLACE
Why the Discovery is Considered Of
Importance to the People Of
European Countries.

There has always been a mystery
about the cells. No one knew just
where they came from.
II Is said to have been solved by
Danish scientists who discovered by u
deep-sen exposition that cells leaving
northwest Europe go to a place near
the West indies. where conditions for
the development Of their larvae are
favorable. The larvae afterward make
their wny back to the places from
which their parents started on the
European coasts. This discovery Is not
only Of geographical interest, but will
also yield very practical results.
The supply Of cells In the breeding
pInces Is said to be inexhaustlble. and
there Will be an unlimited supply Of
eel food for European countries. Eels
only undertake the journey from and
back to the breeding place once In
their lives.

They were called cardinal virtues
because all other human virtues de-

hinge.
Such an enumeration. however, Is
by no means exhaustive. 1t has often
