explanation of the threatened suit Mr. Swanstrom
said yesterday:
The action is brought to recover $50 600 damages
for slander and libel I'm the malicious publication by
Cook in his official capacity auditor of the Board
of Education. The charges appear to have been
slightest foundation in fact. That they were de-
signed II accomplish the ruin of Mr.. Cook is evil
lar pains to have them published in every news
paper in the city. He will now have oppor-
court of law. MIR Cook has been exceedingly pa
tent under the persistent attacks of the Controller
put ne Would oe more Ihf human 70 allow these
lenged The charges are so easily dsproved that I
marvel that so astute man as the Controller
Should ever have made them.
Controller Coler did not to be troubled by
the threatened suit for damages. He said to
Tribune reporter:
The threat is only bluff. If the suit is
brought. the sooner ii can he forced trial the
better pleased shall be. cannot understand what
grounds Mr. Cook has for a suit. | have said moth
ing against his character. | have said he is ncom-
petent and stand ready to prove it, This is a case
of public officer saying that another public
officer is incompetent. | have said | thought Mr.
Cook ought to be removed from office. / hope he
will get fair trial before he is removed.
Mr.. Coler's attorney will be Delos McCurdy, who
appeared in his behalf in the Ramapo proceedings.

Warmers Safe Cure Is scientific vege-
table preparation for the restoring to health
of tired out kidneys and overworked Iivers.
When these great organs are in health
there can be no impure blood, headaches
or constipation. Man cannot improve on
nature, hence IL is amusing to read of medi-
cines which claim to "remove impurities
from the blood; THE kidneys enrich and
vitaIize the blood" etc. The kidneys, liver
and lungs purify the blood and they alone.
Neither medicine nor man can do it. War
ner's Safe Cure, by helping nature. is an
aid, an assistant simply that and nothing
more. The twentieth century man or
woman is reasoning, sensible person and
seldom deceived by misstatements.
