Profound Fatalist nnd Devout Believer In His Religion, He Has Innumer able Good Points That Might Be Copied. Thoro is an old Turkish saying in thoso words: "When wo aro driven out of Constantinople, wo will go to Broussa; whon wo aro expelled from Uroussa, wo will fly to paradise." Tho saying gives a very good insight Into tho character of tho Turk ns ho really is. Fatalism and n slmplo but profound belief in his religion nro two of his strongest characteristics. Although ho will tell tho most outrageous false hoods and cxorclso tho deepest cun ning in driving a bargain, ho is, in tho main, a slmplo soul, contented with littlo, and blessed with tho most en vlnblo powers of endurance. In many ways, of course, tho Turk Is an abomination, and utterly out of placo in twentietb-cuntury Europe, but ho lias his points, as only thoso who havo traveled and studied him at homo can properly appreciate. Ho is not tho complcto villain and rngamuf flu ho Is so popularly supposed to be, As bofltB tho introducer of tho Turk ish bath to tho rest of tho world, tho Turk is a scrupulously clean person whero his own body Is concerned. Ills towns and streets mny bo, and mostly are, filthy; but not so tho Turk him self. Soap is scarce in Turkey to tho majority of tho Inhabitants It is an un known luxury but tho religion of Is lam demnnds daily bathing, as well aB certain ablutions boforo oft-ropeated prayers. Tho religion of tho Turk also keeps him sober, whilo his kindness to dumb animalB certainly puts many moro civilized and enlightened folk to burn ing shnmo. The prosecution of a Turk for cruelty to animals Is nn unknown thing; no Moslem would ovor over work his horso or his donkoy, or boat his dog. Ho would ns soon assault his own father. The Turk has an extraordinary and apparently inovltablo way of immedi ately deteriorating when ho has nny "official" work to undertake, or when ho Is bonded with others of his race for any purpose, but by himself, in pri vate life, he Is often qulto a charming person. He is courteous, ho Is kind, he is considerate, ho Is hospitable, and ho has a sense of humor. In fact, when ho likes, tho Turk can bo a per foct gentleman with perfect manners. But. unfortunately, tho had traits of thu Turk fr outnumber tho good ones. Thu position which ho allows to his women, for instance, Is archaic. For a fow years a Turkish girl Is allowed to run about and play and mix with littlo boys in a moro or less ra tional manner, oxcopt that not much attention is given to her clothes, nnd hor attendance at school, despite com pulsory schooling being in forco, is not generally insisted upon. But vury early thcro comes a change. Hor mother looks ut hor and snyB sho Is growing big, and sho must put on a charshaf A charshaf is a silk coat When a man's efficiency is on the decline when after a long day of effort tho mass of work still stares him in the face it's time to find out what's wrong. Frequently a lack of certain necessary nutritive elements, in the daily diet, lessens mental and physical activity. A prime factor in efficiency is right feeding. No food supplies, in such splendid proportion, all the rich nourishment of the field grains, for keeping the mental and physical forces upbuilt and in trim, as Grape-Nuts Made of whole wheat and malted barley, this famous pure food supplies the vital mineral salts, often lacking in the ordinary daily diet, but imperative in buira ing sturdy mental, physical and nervous energy. .

Sho must also wear a thick veil, never soo a littlo boy again, and novor Bpenk to any man but hor father until she is married. Tho majority of Turkish girls marry tho man their mother chooses for them. But nB tho mother mny sec no man except her own husband, sho must rely upon tho advice based on rumors nnd hearsay df hor womnn friends or olso employ a professional mntchninkcr.

Tho Turk hates reform; what was good enough for hlo fathur nnd his fnthor boforo him is qulto good enough for him; and nlthough ho sometimes wakes up for a moment and passes laws for this or that mod ernizing of his country or his nntlonnl lifo, Ills enthusiasm soon dies down and tho laws nro Ignored or olso re duced to nn absurdity by reason of tho corruption of tho officials appoint ed to carry them out. Water Spoiled Easily by Iron. Half n part par million of iron in water Is dotoctablo by tasto, and moro than four or flvo parts makes water unpalatable. In soma minora! springs iron is tho constituent which imparts a medicinal valuo to tho water, but ordinarily it is undesirable. Moro than 2.G parts por million in water used for laundering makes a stain on tho clothes. Iron must bo ro- 'moved from wator from which ico is mndo, or a cloudy, discolored product will result. An iron content of ovor two or thrco pnrts por million in wa tor used in tho manufacture of papor will stain tho paper. Iron is harmful in water used for steaming, for it is in equilibrium with acids which insldo tho boiler become dissociated, with tho result that tho frco acids corrodo tho boiler platos; but tho amount of iron cnrrlcd in solution by most waters Is so smnll that tho damngo it does to steam hon ors goncrally amounts to littlo.
