WANT TO RESTRAIN LADY COOK,
Relatives Fear She VIII waste Her Money
I'm Her New Purity Crusade.
,SpeddI Gable Dsypdfch TO IRE SUN.

Special Gable Despdfeh TO TIE SUN.
LONDON. Jan. 25.-The relatives OF Lady
Cook. formerly Tennessee Claflin. are
celebrating how TO prevent her from max
ing ducks and brakes of her money. She
IL now staying at Claridge's Hotel here en-
gagged in an endeavor TO persuade clergy
men. bishops and other strictly proper
people to help her in a new purity crusade.
Up till now she has met with only severe
refusals. but her proceedings hitherto
are understood TO have been merely pre-
liminary skirmishes. II her relatives do
not succeed in restraining her. big battles
will follow. for. like Carrie Nation. Lady
Cook believes that she has a divine mission
to upset the conventionslities OF life.
As far as Is known her Ladyship's In
come is about $4,000. The popular idea
that she Is very rich is quite mistaken.
The bulk of Sir Francis Cooks fortune
wa hers only TO the extent Of a life interest.

sns,nr Ai,nen,s

There is an aching and tired
feeling; the liver, bowels and
kidneys become sluggish and in
active, the digestion impaired,
with little or no appetite, no
ambition for anything, and a
feeling that the whole body and
mind needs toning up. The
trouble is, that during winter,
there has been an accumulation
of waste matter in the system.
Herbine will remove it, secure to
the secretions right exit, and
by its tonic effect, fully restore
the wasted tissues and give
strength in place of weakness.
