Doctor Cupid
That love sometimes cures dis
ease is a fact that has been called
to the attention of the public by a
prominent physician, tove is not,
however, the cure for all women.
Many a woman is nervous and
irritable, feels dragged down and
worn out for no reason that she
can think of,;
Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription gives new life and new
strength to weak, worn-out,
run-down women. “Favorite
Proscription” makes weak women
strong and sick women well. It
13 now sold by all druggists in the
United States in tablets as well
B3 liquid form.
Blair, Nebb.—"I think Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription a fine tonic for
Sirls as well as grown women. My
aughter was in an extremely nervous
condition and suffered with irregu
larity. Just a half bottle of the ‘Pre
scription’ cured her of both the nerv
ousness and other trouble and proved
to be an excellent tonic besides.
" Several months afterwards, I was
in a very nervous state and the half
bottle of ‘ Prescription ’ that my daugh
ter had left I took and found it just
as efficient as in her case.” — Mrs.
L. II. Lothrop, 211 E. Lincoln St.

“Hey, there, you; don’t try to get

Economic Partition of Turkey.
i........- - -—— i
From the New York Time*.
The division of the remnant of Turkey into spheres of British, French
and Italian economic influence is, in a way, a frank partition of the spoils
of war in regions where self-determination, if it could be invoked at all in
the case of the Turk, would give little support to a scheme like this. But
citizens of a nation (the United States) which had the opportunity to re
organize this part of the Near Bast pretty much as it pleased can hardly
avert the moral eye if others take up the work after our refusal. We
might have dons it better, but we would not do it at all. British, French
and Italian diplomats are going about it in the only way they know.
For Anatolia and the regions to the east comprise seme districts of
great natural wealth, which will never bd developed if left to the Turk. Ger
many was beginning to develop them before the war, and the present parti
tion is evidently inspired by a long look ahead to a time when Germany or
Russia might be in a position to do the work and turn what is left of
Turkey against the western powers. A good argument could be made in
justification of the arrangement on the ground of self-defense. Whether
practical good will come of it is another matter. Doubtless there is great
wealth awaiting development. The French sphere includes Cilicia and
southern Kurdistan. Kurdistan, then, is to remain autonomous, or, as the
agreemen puts it, “eventually" independent. This represents the residue of
the extensive French spheres outlined in the Sykes-Picot agreement of 1916.
The oil fields of Mosul have faded out of the picture; by some process which
the French public still finds it hard to understand, they have been swallowed
up in Mesopotamia.
In what is left to France there is considerable mineral wealth; there is
also a population of which the Armenian part leans toward the French
when French troops are at hand as a protection against the Turks. When
the Armenians have to shift for themselves, as they have had to do lately,
there is no particular love for France among them. The Turks have fought
the French or made truces according to their conveniences and that of Gen
eral Gouraud, who also has the Arabs of Syria on his hands. But a nucleus
of enthusiasts for the French connection, such as exists in Syria, is not
there. The French sphere of influence means that for some years to
come considerable bodies of troops' will have to be maintained in these
parts of the Near East. For the next few years, at any rate, the French
sphere will cost more than It is worth.
Italy will get the valuable coal mines of Herakleia, which the Italians
need. An Italian concession for their exploitation waq one of the earliest
ideas raised at the peace conference as compensation for the surrender or
the Dodecanesus to Greece. There is little to be said against this part of
the arrangement except that in the present state oi feeling in Asia Minor
the Italians, too, are likely to have to maintain considerable overseas garri
sons at a time when Italian public sentiment is cold to such enterprises.
The agreement specifies the French and Italian spheres of influence, and
Paris draws the inference that England is to take everything that is left.
But this, too, Is an expensive acquisition. Half the British people seem to
be disposed to cut loose from Mesopotamia, oil wells and all; it costs too
much to carry the overhead charges. The residue which presumably will
fall under British economic influence can be separated generally into three
great divisions—that which it at present held by the Greeks, that which is
controlled by the faction of Mustapha Kemal, and Kurdistan. The British
need Kurdistan as a strategic protection for Mesopotamia, but any very
heavy expenditure on the country is unthinkable. Mustapha Kemal and
his party are still virtually at war with England, and nothing could be
done in their mountainous fastnesses without some preliminary fighting
that would be hard and costly.
There is left that part of western Anatolia which was reconquered by
the Greeks in the early summer. That campaign waa carried on with Brit
ish assistance, and the political relations between England and Greece are
excellent just now. If Venizelos remains in power, those relations will con
tinue. But this is a matter of economic development. The territories lib
erated by the Greek armies are those tvhere the Greek population is most
numerous. Once freed from the Turk, the Greeks will probably look after
most of the economic development of the country themselves. British cap
ital can be put to work, but beyond that Britain will probably find little
profit. It looks as if the great powers are undertaking a work that will re
quire heavy investments of men and money that canned well be spared, and
that it will be a kmg time before they begin to get any return.
PIGEON IS CLEVER
AND IS RESPECTABLE
From New York Sun.
An onithologist has been studying
the flight of pigeons. He says:
“The domestic pigeon is such a fa
miliar sight in our streets that we
don't he If appreciate its beauty and
cleverness. It flies in military forma
tion, evidently following a supremely
skillful leader of stunts. The flPCSt,
sometimes 40 or 50 strong, man
euvers as a unit, constantly attack
ing more difficult evolutions.
“First, they will practise the Joyous
and dizzy cuhves, full of unexpected
twists, Tfi which an occasional unwary
one becomes a straggler from the
flock, at a great height above the city.
Then suddenly their indistinguishable
leader wm sweep them down to the
dangerous vicinity of roofs and chim
neys and lead them through a mazy
obstacle race, which must make the
brains of the young binds dizzy. I
don’t know whether a pigeon is ever
dashed to death against brickwork or
masonry, but such is the peril that
faces the weaklings of those gruelling
tests of efficiency.
“The pigeon has other important
claims on our respect. For instance,
he marries one wife only, and if she '
behaves herself he lives with her
happily for a lifetime. He helps her
build the nest, hatch the eggs and
feed the young. During the breeding
season he and she secrete a milky
fluid in their crops to moisten the «
food they give to their babies. They '
are vegetarians, they are peaceable,
intelligent and resourceful; In fact, if
you remembered all their virtues you’d
never eat roast squab again."
Accidents to Children.
From the Springfield Union.
Official records showing that no fewer
than 15,000 children were killed by acci
dents In the United States In the year
1919 emphasize the need of more stren
uous campaigning along the lines of
public safety. Most of all is educational
work among the children themselves a
prime necessity, as so many of them,
through heedlessness, Invite the acci
dents of which they are victims. Play
ing in roadways whgre automobile
traffic is heavy is one prolific source of
such accidents, and crossing the high
ways without locating to the right or
left to see if the way is clear Is another.
Parents and school teachers could do
much to lessen the number of accidents
due to these causes by constantly im
pressing on the minds of their children
the danger of such practices.
Woolen Mill* In the West.
From the St. I-ouis Post-Dispatch.
Secretary Mayes of the marketing bu
reau Of the state board of agrlcuture
has called atteation to the ^anomalous
condition in the woolen industry. There
awe millions of pounds in storage in Mis
souri, ho says, but the blankets we buy
are mads In New England. We have
no facilities for turning our wool Into
doth sr yard. The whole wool-growing
west, he declares, has surrendered to
“Boston, the Wall Street of Woll." and.
In consequenoe. Is at the mercy of the .
East’s dictation. \
The remedy he proposes Is simple.
Missouri and the west must get Into the
business of man intact urmg wo<JL He
suggests that custom mflls shpuld be es
tablished here, such as are operated on ,
the Attends coast, to which the farmer ■
can send his wool.JU be converted Into
thread, sr some other product, on a mu
tually satisfactory haste. There should
aim be snouting mBte throughout the
entire corn belt where wool cstn he
graded and pat into salable form. The
western wool grower, apparently. Is in
much the same poettion as the southern
cotton planter as regards having little
er nothing to say about the price of his
product. But the south Is gradually be
coming a cotton manufacturing terri
tory. IU development in that line has
admittedly been stu^ but the economic
advantages of the plan are widely recog
nized and widely agitated, until today
there Is scarcely a community of any
size In the south but dreams of cotton
mills.
There Is no good reason, of course,
why the west that grows wool should
not manufacture wool. New England
has no vested rights in the west's wool
or the south’s cotton. As a matter of
fact, there is a lot of waste motion In
the superfluous freightage of the present
arrangement. And such waste motion Is
peculiarly intolerable in view of our In
adequate transportation and high
freight rates. It is not In the interest
of wool grower: solely that the west
manufacture its wool. It Is to the In
terest of us all that this logical evolu
tionary step he taken, because we should
all profit from*it.
Egypt’s Autonomy.
From the Montreal Star.
Zaghlul Pasha Is not satisfied. He has
Journyed from*Caiiro to Paris and from
Paris to London to tell the world that
the benefits that are to accrue to Egypt
under the settlement formulated by
Lord Milner "will not satisfy Egyptian
nationalist ambitions.” Yet Egypt has
been giver«|a| larger share of autonomy
than any other nation since the slogan
of self-determination was trumpeted at
the peace conference.
The great war effected the destinies ot
Egyptraiore than thoso of any non-com
batant country. .The khedivate, a nom
inal vlceroyalty under the sultan of Tur
key, came to an end on December, 19U,
with the abandonment of the suzerainty
and the declaration of a British pro
tectorate. Yet the principle was main
tained of supporting a Mohammedan
.sruler on a Mohammedan throne. 'Bhe
Anew sultan was aided by a legislative
assembly that was partly elective and
partly nominated. The .yeto of the high
commissioner was retained, but the as
sembly had power to Initiate legislation.
Egypt acknowledged Jhe new regime was
an improvement on the tfld, but . the cry
of "Egypt for the Egyptians” was yearly
more clamorous. The nationalists were
uncompromising. They demanded the
withdrawal of the army of occupation
and the substitution of native Egyptians
for Europeans In every^braneh of state
service. Their demands m£t"wlth a most
generous response from the commission
that went to Egypt under Lord Milnsr
to study"thelr1,problems. Egypt was even
given the privilege of controlling her
own foreign affalng and appointing her
own diplomatic representatives. It was
agreed that the army of occupation
should be ^vfchdrawn within a stipulated
period, although a'viall British force
was to be retained to guard the Sues
canal. But Britain demanded a "spec
ial posltlton” eo far as the SOudan was
concerned, and It Is on this matter that
the nationalists have chosen to quarrel.
Britain agrees to guarantee Egypt
against eztesnal aggression, but she la
unwilling to abandon a country for ths
peace of which she has shed so much
blood and treasure during the last <1
years.
Chickens Eat Bolt Weevil.
Morgan Stultz. a farmer, has solved
the boll weevil question, and Instead
of the weevil being a menace to him
it has been, the means of declaring
dividends. Blarly in the summer, when
tbs. weevil first appeared. Mr. Stultz
had a patch of only sight acres of
cotton. Eta Immediately moved his
chickens to the center of his ootton
fi«*d and there constructed a tern
. porary chicken house. He'aUowed the
chickens to run in Us cotton and they
have eaten the boll weevil*. He has
averaged If dozen eggs per week
since that time. His cotton crop will
make four bales and he figures the
