Inc company now owns the mill of the Vir-

days ago Mr.. Cook approached citizens of Vir-
ginia with proposition that If they would
secure for him a mill site and eighty acres OF

the company would build larger mill than
mat now there, capable of cut of at least
100000 feet year, and that it would
expect to run the mill double shift the year
around.
The proposition was taken up and the city
secured the ground and is about to turn over

Fargo. N. d., Aug GA species of serfdo,n
for New York orphan children is predicted in
this state by Superintendent Hall, of the North
Dakota Children's Home. There is a law here
prohibiting the importation of needy or orphan
children, but despite this fact it is said that a
coachload of children has been secured in slums
of New York and will be sent to this state The
worst feature is that the applicants for these
children are twenty-seyen Russian settlers
Some of these have. children of their own.
Many reside miles from schools and the position
of the children will be little above serfdom.
Efforts will be made to keep the children in the
east.
Because of the flooded condition Of some of
the wheat fields, which prevents the operation Of
binders, few farmers are having their over
ripe wheat cut with moving scythes by hand.
The grain will be raked and threshed as soon
as dry. Wheat has begun to shell and will
be total loss before the fields will be dry
enough for teams. In other than the low Sec

After a weeks stay Of the Great
Cooper, as he is called, in Minneapo-

will accomplish as much with his prep

Already numbers of people are call

day people have been coming in num- .n1
bers to Voegei Brothers bringing with
them in jars, dishes, ETC., enormous
parasites. Many of these people were
frightened and came to ask Mr.. Coop
er what these creatures were.
When asked to explain this matter on
Monday, Mr.. Cooper said: Gin every
dreds of these parasites are brought to
me. They are what is commonly
known as the tapeworm, and may be
anywhere from ten feet to seventy-fve
feet in length. People may be afflicted
with them for years and not know it..
Bought br vr me three e of these things, each
over sixty feet in length, that had been
driven from her system by the New
Discovery medicine.
"These creatures are very common.
How common no one realizes. I ven
ture to say that so per cent of the
stomach trouble and general rundown
condition of people is caused by them.
Individuals who have lacked all
ambition for years, and felt tired all
the time, who have had dizzy spells,
irregular appetite, poor circulation and
poor memory, and who are quite nerv-
Gus, believe they are suffering from
many complaints. The true reason for
their condition is, as rule, nothing
more or less than one Of these tape
worms.

brought to me while in this city, and
hundreds more are driven out by my
remedy that will never hear about at
all. The action Of the New Discovery
in cleansing the system of impurities
seems to be fatal to these great worms.
In almost all cases, but few doses
drives them from the system.
"While [ was in Scranton, Penn,
a leading physician there, in a lecture,
stated that / had demonstrated with
my medicine how prevalent these
things were, and the medical profess
sion should recognize the fact and
take steps to overcome such troubles
in their PRACTICE
This is certainly an unusual state
ment, and judging from the number of
people who have already called with
one of these parasites, Cooper is borne
out in making it.
