Interesting Statement
From The President OF The Wolf Wilson Drug Co..
Of st. Louis, Relative To The Cooper Remedies.
1t Is Understood That a Local Dealer Has Secured n Sup.
ply OF The Famous New Medicines.

Icines, why don't they come
and ask for their money afte,
they have taken them? On,
of the thousands Of bottles
we have sold, almost none
have heel returned.
"As u matter Of fact, st.
Louis is no exception in the
immense demand for these
preparations. Before Mr..
Cooper came to this city / re.
ceived lie ters from leading
druggists throughout the
East telling me that where
ever he goes his preparations
are sold almost Tn the exclu.
sion OF all others.
"Every city in this country
where these medicines have
been introduced has had the
same experience rs st. Louis.
This ought to be proof.positive
that the people know what
they are about"
In the light Of this state
ment it will be interesting to
see how these preparations
are received in Marshall.

tious extolled by L. Il. Cooper
as has visited ST. Louis IN the
leading cities Of the East?
/ The question is brought
forth by the fact that II local
druggist has secured the
agency for the much-talked-o OF
preparations that are produc.
! " such "a Juror, aud about
which the newspapers of The
United States have devoted
columns.
In fact IA discussion OF Coop
err preparations and the un.
heard OF demand for them
wherever introduced has APP
peared in II greater part of all
the leading dailies Of the
country.
The recently published
statement Of Mr.. Volt, Presi.
dent of the Wolf. Wilson Drug
Co. of st. Louis, which APP.
peared in the Post-D Dispatch
and the Globe Democrat of
that city, would seem TO indi-
cate that with no exception
these preparations produced
the same results in all Sec
tions, regardless of what
pressure is brought To bear
against the medicines.
Mr.. VOLTS statement is as
follows: This talk about st.
Louis going mad over Mr..
Cooper is absurd. If his
preparations did not do all
that Is chained for them there
would be no demand. Mr..
Cooper has nothing whatever
to do With it.
"The idea that his PERSONAL
t.y has something to do with
the sale of his medicines, and
that the people Of this city
only imagine they have been
benefited is too far-fetched to
be seriously considered.
Zone physician says the
people have a disease called
'Cooper-mania.' This may
be clever, but it certainly is
not true.
II have sold these prepare
on trial ever since Mr..
made my store his

whatever they pay for

they are not satisfied. Ill

RURAL MAIL SERVICE.

A writer in a recent periodical sug
gests if the. money that is now be-
ing expended in the maintenance of
the rural mail delivery system were
devoted to improving the roads of the
various counties in which the service
Is maintained that the farmers con.
cerned would get great deal more
practical benefit than they at present
derive from the mail service. WI
there may be an element of truth in
the view presented, the writer seems to
overlook the fact that an amount Of
money that would if properly expend-
ed produce good roads in one locality
would hardly make beginning in
others and to forget the further fact
that the Inauguration Of the rural mail
delivery system has given greater i'm
petus to the cause of good roads than
any other single influence that has ever
been exerted. We believe most hearth
ly in the gospel Of good roads. but be-
lieve it will be furthered rather than
hindered by the continuation of the
present excellent rural mail service.

THE SUNDAY REST

The quite generally accepted and rec
ognized practice employers, business
men and workaday folks in general
have of observing the Sabbath as
day of rest and recuperation without
question traces its origin to the injunc-
ton in the Hebrew decalogue, Re
member the Sabbath day to keep it
holy" Whatever may be our view as
to the authority of the Scripture mes
sage and our recognition of the necessi-
ty of obedience to the command as
given, experience convinces us that
there was a fundamental principle of
physical life underlying the command
or it would not have been spoken. We
like to think that beneath every COM
mand of God was an underlying rea-
son why it should have been given,
that work on the seventh day was
wrong not because and only when it
had been prohibited, but that it was
prohibited because it violated funda-
mental principle Of physical life, the
necessity for rest and change, and was
therefore wrong. In way Of supporting
the view here presented it has been
proved by actual test in the life of
more than one nation that work prose
cuted without periodic rest days and
covering a considerable period of time
has resulted in decreasing the capacity
and economic efficiency Of workmen so
employed, proving beyond question that
the man who works six days and rests
one can do more and better work than
his fellow who works during the seven
without any let up. While violation
of the command to rest one day in sew
en- is not often accompanied with i'm
mediate disastrous effects, there is lit
tie doubt that many cases Of physical,
nervous and mental breakdown are
largely traceable to practical disre-
gard of the above command, failure
to realize the health and nerve restor-
ing power of change and recreation.
The command given included, besides
the employer, the manservant, the
maidservant, the OK, the ass and the
stranger who might be within his
gates.

A TRAVELLING SCHOOL OF AGRICUL-
TURE.


TURE.
Cornell university in New York will
this summer make an entirely new
and somewhat unique departure in its
agricultural work. Following a petit
ton signed by seventeen students who
were DESTROYS of becoming acquainted
with agricultural conditions existing
in different portions of the United
States, the college will send out a
special car, fitted with the accommoda-
tions for the housing and study equip
ment Of the students during their trip
1t has been styled a travelling school of
agriculture. Those in charge plan to
start on the trip about the LIST of July

view to covering about eight weeks
while the cost per student is placed at
about $500 The car will go from
Ithaca to Buffalo and through Ohio. H.

special trains which have been in oper-
alton on many lines of road in the up
per Mississippi valley during the past
two years, proving both popular and
greatly beneficial to the agricultural
interests Of the localities visited. The
course Of agricultural instruction con-
templated in the above tour will give
the students who take advantage of it
a first hand and intimate as well as ex-
tensive acquaintance with the condi-
tons and methods of agriculture cover
ing the whole country and will give a
breadth of view and fund of practical
information that could hardly be got
from study in one place or in one
school,

The health of animals as well as that

instances In which horses raised in the
upper Mississippi valley and badly af-
fiicted with the heaves have been
quickly and permanently cured by re-
moval to NorA Dakota and the Cana
dian northwest. From what we can
learn of the matter this result seems
to be due In part to difference in eli

To inculcate habit of saving it is
absolutely necessary that a few dol
lars-a hundred, more or less-should
be laid aside as a nest egg. 1t is this
amount - the first hundred = and the
habit Of saving acquired in accumulat-
ing 1t that have more to do in giving
the young man financial and business
start in the world than any $500 which
he accumulates afterward. There are
scores Of young men, Woodworking and
industrious, who have no sense of
ownership and possess no proprietary
interest simply because they fail to
make the start. In many cases this
hand to mouth method of earning and

full is to take sharp spade and care
fully cut the root of each plant about
three inches below the surface of the
ground. While this will not catch those
which start from the seed this season,
it will fix the patriarchs of the patch,
while the little fellows can be given
similar treatment later in the season.

Experiments made at the Cornell
university experiment station in or
charding several years ago proved
that it took more fertility from the soil
to produce twenty average crops Of
apples than to produce twenty average
crops of wheat. 1t will be readily seen
that in view of this fact not only
should no secondary crops be grown in
the orchard which will rob the soil,
but that the trees should be heavily
fortified where possible. 1t is this
pull of the trees on the fertility of the
soil that makes clover and alfalfa ideal
orchard crops.
