Bulgaria Is In the throes of civil
wari Jugoslavia, Greece and Rumanla
have rushed troops to the Bulgarian
borders, and Hungary has called three
classes to the colors so as to seize
whatever advantage may be offered.
The conflict may be confined within the
limits OF Bulgaria, or II may spread
over much of central Europe and ultI-
mately involve some the great powers.
Reserve officers Of the Bulgarian
army. with the assistance Of the active
army, carried out coup d'etat by
which Premier Stamboullsky and his
agrarian government were ousted and
a new ministry Installed headed by
Prof. Alexander Zankoff. Some Of the
ex-mlpisters were arrested, but STAN.
boulisl;y fed and at once began arm
ing and organizing the peasants for
the purpose Of recapturlng Sofia and
overthrowlng the "usurping" govern
ment. Thursday evening he sur
rendered at Elesdlck on condition that
his life be spared. but a few hours
later he was shot to death. The Off.
clal report was that armed peasants
attacked the automobile In which he
was being taken to Slavoyitza and
that he ives killed by guard while
trying to escape. Probably 1t was the
application of the "ley de fuega" so
familiar In Mexico.
Stamboultsky had angered the old
war party-mostly pro-German-by
his persecution Of Macedonian au-
tonomists, his attitude at the Lausanne
conference, his concessions to Jugo-
slavia and his failure to obtain a cor.
ridor to the sea. The new admins
tration says the actua! crisis was
brought on by his recent demand on
King Boris that he be appointed die
tator. After his flight, |: is said, huge
sums Of money were found in his villa.
!, The king Ii believed to have been privy
to TIP plot by which the government
was overthrown.
Though Premier Zankofrs first act
was to visit the Jugoslnv embassy and
give assurance that he would respect
the old governments treaties, the
Serbs are suspicious that he will en-
courage and aid the Macedonians In
their demands on Jugoslavia, and this
probably would bring on hostilities
The Serbian foreign minister Is re-
ported to have said that Serbia was
willing to force the new Bulgarian
government to observe the treaty Of

nENRY FORD. It is now reported,
- Is going to make the race for the
presidency oil by himself instead OF
as the head Of third party ticket. He
y quoted as saying: "There will be
four tickets In the 1924 election: The
Republican ticket, the Democratic
ticket, third party ticket and the
Henry Ford Independent ticket. No
candidate Is likely to get majority Of
the electoral vote and the election
probably will be thrown into the house
Of Representatives"
There are 531 votes In the electoral
college, and II the two old parties are
fairly evenly matched In the 1924 elec-
ton and the third or the Ford ticket
won one large state or two or three
smaller ones no candidate would have
q majority and the election would be
thrown into the house Of representa-.
tives of the Slxty-eighth congress. In
this case the Constitution provides that
the house shall choose the President
from the candidates, not exceeding
three. receiving the highest number of
electoral votes. In making this choice,
however, the house Is required to vote
by states, each stnte delegation hav-
Ing one vote, determined by a majority
Of the members Of the delegation. A
quorum shall be one or more members
from each Of two-thIrds Of the states,
and "a majority Of all states shall be
necessary to a choice" Thus at least
Is votes would be required to elect.
It happens that In the next house
there are only % state delegations
whose majority is Republican and 20
state delegations whose majority Is
Democratic. while Eve delegations
evenly divided between Republicans
and Democrats would not be able to
cast a vote. To effect an election It
would be necessary for members in
pivotal state delegations to repudinte
party afflllations or absent themselves
from the ballotlng. II there were o
deadlock, and Ford were one Of the
three highest In the electoral college
vote. he might conceivably be chosen
BY the house a. a compromise.

Among the notable professional men
of this country who achieved great
success along strictly legitimate lines
was DR.. r. V. Pierce. Devoting his
attention to the speciality of women's
diseases, he became a recognized
authority in that line.
Over fifty years ago this noted
physician gave to the world a Pre-
scription which has never been
equaled for the weaknesses of
women. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
long since found out what is natu-
rally best for women's diseases. He
learned it all thru treating thou
sands of cases. The result of his
studies was a medicine called Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths

for the many disorders common to
women in all ages of life. Women who
