YOUNG Man HAS
NEW THEORY
Human Life Seems Conferred In Stomach.
All Else Is Secondary.

The immense success which has fol-
lowed l.. T. Cooper during the past
year with his new preparation has ex-
ceeded anything of the kind ever be-
fore witnessed In most of the leading
cities where the young man has intro
duced the medicine. Cooper has q
novel theory. He believes that the hui
man stomach Is directly responsible
for most disease. To quote his own
words from an interview upon his ar
rival in an eastern city: 'The average
man or woman cannot be sick II the
stomach is working properly. To be
sure. there are diseases Of a virulent
nature, such as cancer, tuberculosis,
diabetes. ETC.. which are organic, and
are not traceable to the stomach. but
even fevers can, in nine cases out of
ten, be traced to something taken into
the stomach. All of this half-sicS.

How Did She Exist?

On the evening of November 5th,
Kate Dalton, an inmate of the county
asylum, escape from that institution
and eluded all effort to discover her
whereabouts. On Friday last she was
discovered in a farmers's hay NOW
about a mile from the institution. She
had wrapped herself in horse blankets
and hidden in the hay and aside from
slight frosting of her feet, appeared to
have suffered not the least. The ques-
ton arises did she go without food or
drink during those ten days? 1t is
surmised that she may have taken adj
vantage of the opportunity to milk the
farmers's cows.

Asisons Address on Practical Education.

Some friends send the CENSOR ie-
cent issue of the ''D,lily O.egon
Statesman" of Portland, mich con-
tains synopsis of an address delivered
before formidable gathering, by Prof
Charles II. Chapman, former Viroqua
boy; educated in our schools, at the
state university and latter at John
Hopkins university. We quote from
the same. 1t reviews the cause of
practical education in truly refreshing
way:
"Dr. Chapman of Portland, in a short
address on the subject Just the Com
ing Citizen, crowded his speech brim
full of telling points, and was frequently
interrupted by applause from the en-
thusiastic club women and visitors
The whole range of school work, in
ali the phases touching the life of child
hood, boyhOod and manhood was dealt
with fearlessly The speaker urged
the elimination from the schools Of
much that he considered unnecessary
and cumbersome in its present method
of treatment, among the studies con-
demned being too extensive study of
geography.
While recognizing the public school
as the most important factor in edu-
cation, DIR. Chapman said that appar-
emily the purpose of the school seemed
to fade away soon after passing the
primary grades, and deplored the tend
ency to make of schools mere culture
shops, as if youth were being educated
as if they never had to work. The
keynote of his lecture appearing in the
statement, "For everything taught a
youth, the purpose should be near and
plain. In no weak terms he denounced
too frequently holidays, long vacations,
and useless subjects, while he urged
greater interests in nature studies and
agriculture, and ended with strong
plea for the support of normal schools,
saying that dozen properly conducted
were not too many.

Lost Hand in Shredder.

Nearly every season some unfortunate
in Vernon county loses. hand or arm
in the deadly corn shredder. The latest
accident of this character occurred on
the farm of Mrs. John Appleman, last
Saturday, when her son Seward, age
twenty years, while assisting in the
operation of a machine, had his left
hand pulled into the rollers, mangling it
in such manner that amputation was
found necessary. The hand was taken
off just back of the thumb, Westby
surgeons performing the operation.
This is most unfortunate accident for

In short time the paint sill become

Paint which has been left for some

How to Cure a Nervous Headache.

The ordinary nervous headache will
be greatly relieved and in many cases
entirely cured by removing the waist
of ones dress, knotting the hair high
up on the head out of the way and
while leaning over a basin placing a
sponge soaked in wafer as hot as it
can be borne ON the back of the neck.
Repeat this many times, also applying
the sponge behind the ears, and the
strained muscles and nerves that have
caused so much misery win be felt TO
relax and smooth themselves out de
liclously. and very frequently the pain
promptly vanishes in consequence.

DISTRICT ASH SERVICE.
Commissioners Advised That Private
Collectors Are Employed.

The attention of the Commissioners ha $
been called to the fact that a number OF
citizens in various sections of the District
are paying to have their ashes and refuse
carted away simply because they do not
know the District collects the ashes and
refuse free. The person who pointed out
this condition to the Commissioners today
stated that more than two hundred men,
chiefly aged colOred men. are making a
living by removing the ashes and refuse
from private houses. for small fee. and
that some Of these men are responsible for
lack Of information regarding the free
service.
One man who has been paying to have
his refuse removed II is said, holds high
position in the government. 1t is alleged
that the ash men, they are commonly
called, inform their patrons that the law
requires ashes and refuse to be removed at
least twice every week thereby making
their patrons hire them more frequently
than they ordinarily would.
According to Louis Colwell, manager of
the refuse plant that was burned to tho
ground last January, he stated today that
he believes less than 40 per cent of the
householders of the District aware that
their ashes and refuse will be hauled away
by the District without any cost. He said
these ash men, with their own teams, who
charge to haul the refuse, are kept busy
six days in a week. and that when he had
his retaining plant these men took their
refuse there for disposition.
AT the first session of the last Congress
S16S,3i0 was appropriated for the collection
of ashes and refuse from private houses
and small apartment houses In the District.
Last year the contract for the collection of
refuse was $4,000 and for the collection
and disposal of ashes, So. 900. The con-
tractors engaged in this work never fail to
collect where the ashes refuse set
out for them or when complaint or appi-
cation is made. but 1t Is said that they are
not looking up places to collect. The less
amount they are compelled to collect the
more money they will make.
