is TURK A TURK?
Question Has Never Been Sat-
is~factorily Answered.
But Whether American or Asiatic, No
One Has Ever Denied Its
Detachable Flavor.

THE Mystery of the Turkey" has
beer agitating Paris. A learned Arab
Al Antaki-has discovered in An
Client Arabic books written long before
the discovery Of America a descrip-
ton Of what he thinks must be the
modern turkey-bird-and the old author
found IL In fact in Asia Minor, which
the Turks Of his religion had already
conquered. Such a piece OF news goes
along well with the conquering or
what we used to call Turkey by Mus
tapha Kemal and, II IL were true, he
would be warranted in taking our tur-
key for his own Thanksgiving EN-
blem.
French naturalists have started up
at once and give the reasons, which
they say are imperative, why the tur-
key bird is genuine American, In the
woods when Columbus came and In
the Puritan Pilgrims pot. No for
eigners need apply-and. as for the
enigma of the name turkey" what's
In a name, anyway? That can be ex-
j.. plained, and SO can what the old Arab
said.
This Ia the sun Of the French ar
gument. The very type Of all turkeys
is found in Honduras and was fully
described In all his glory-speckled,
with eye spots small. but bright. al
most as those Of the ~peacock's plu-
mage. with a deep-sea blue head and
orange-red dewlaps-S5 years after
Columbus first glimpsed america.
Now, the Arab of the Turkish con-
quest uses a good deal Of literature
10 describe what may easily be only
a guinea hen. And he Is the only
traveller or writer who eve used AN
guage that could be yer remotely
applied to cur American bird until
the. turkey had become q domestic
fowl IN Europe, after being brought
over from America as a curiosity. The
misfortune was that somehow the Eng
fish baptized him turkey They got
hold Of him very early, with their
usual love Of good eating. Perhaps
he was brought over by Cabot, In
which case he would have been one of
our United States or Canadian tur-
keys. but more likely some buecaneer
brought him hack from Panama, where
the "Christians'' were breeding him
ms q domestic fowl eyen before Span.
fish Oviedo described him SO scien-
tifcally.
Point Made by the French.
"He makes a wheel of his tall
says Ovbedo, 20 distinguish him from
other birds Of this wonderful world
that resemble him In other ways
but, he hastens to add. 'his tail Is moi
as beautiful as that Of u Spanish
peacocks."
Here the French make their point.
The Romans were as great and curious
eaters as the English. and they ate
~peacocks and brought back from Col
CHS In Asia Minor Tor Turkey in
Asla) pheasants for the sake of eat
Ing them. ard their Latin books speak
of them with all particulars VINO
can imagine they would have passed
by the turkey, which is no end better
eating than the most golden pheasant?
They never speak Of any bird like
him-but they know the guinea hen
which the old Arab seems to have
meant to describe.
Now here the mistake Of early nat
n~raiisfs In Europe comes In. They
never tried to reason ont why In the
world the English called the bird a
turkey" but they IA have been

Just Drag. "Cardui Built Me
Up," She Declares.

Kernersville, n. C.-In an interest
ing statement regarding Cardui, the
Womans Tonic, Mrs. Wesley Mabe, OF
near here, recently said: Il have
known Cardui for years, but never
knew its worth until year or so ago.
l was in a weakened, rundown con
dition. l became draggy-didn't eat OF
sleep to do any good; couldn't do any.
thing without great effort. l tried
different remedies and medicines, YET
l continued to drag.
81 decided to give Cardul q trial.
and found it was just what really
needed. 1t made me feel much strong
er soon after began to use 1t. l be-
gan to eat more, and the nervous,
weak feeling began to leave. Soon l
was sleeping good.
"Cardui built me up as no other
tonic ever did.
81 used Cardui with one daughter
who was puny, felt bad and tired out
all the time. 1t brought her right out,
and soon she was as we'll as q girl
could be. We think there is nothing
like Cardui."
Do not allow yourself to become
weak and rundown from womanly
troubles. Take Cardui. You may find
it just what you really need. For
more than 40 years it has been used by
thousands and thousands, and found
just as Mrs. Mabe describes.
