Do Not Know What
Causes Sickness
Modern People Have Many Names for Same
Diseases, According to New Belief.

Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question is becom-
ing widely discussed since L. T.
Cooper first advanced the theory that
the stomach is the true seat of life
and all health dependent upon It.
Mr.. Cooper, who has met with re-
markabe success in the sale of his
new medicine, believes that the stom-
ach is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ Is weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: Il am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such record
wherever I have introduced it. My
answer always is, because 1t restores
the stomach to a normal condition
No one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems to
be the matter with them. They are
just half-sick most of the time. They
don't know really what is the matter
with them. l have talked with thou
sands during the past two years, and
few knew indeed what their trouble
was. One said nervousness, another
said kidney trouble, another liver COM
plant, some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung trouble. Many had
treated, as they call it, for most OF
these diseases at different times. A
very common complaint is all run

Employees Help in Money Crisis.

Chicago.-Payroll worries are not
among the cares Of Henry G. Daw
son, manufacturer Of mantels. A score
of his own employees all working men,
today surprised him by offering him
enough currency, about $4,000, to carry
him thru two pay days. If Mr.. Daw-
son needs more money before the furry
in the market is a thing of the past,
the men on the other side Of his desk
will bring more.
One of the first to knock at
Mr.. Dawson's door was the janitor.
MIR. Dawson, they say that it is kind
of hard to get money these days to pay
the men," said the janitor, as he
tugged at the roll in his pocket. Here
is 5000"
Then others followed. Four had $500
which they left with Mr.. Dawson. 9th
crs had $500 and 5000, and some had
$50.
When 1t was all piled up on the big
desk there was almost $4,000 and Mr..
Dawson had $1,000 in currency on hand.
His pay roll represents $4,000, the
wages Of 375 workers.

which had been separated for TWO
wears. when Louis F. Nonnast, 17'4
Deming place. received an illuminated
card from his son Harry. "a, who
disappeared from home two years
ago.
The post card was written from
San Francisco and simply said that
the writer was we'll and prosperous.
During his travels he had seen great
many postal cards with local views
on them, and had often thought what
nice thing 1t would be to send home
a nice thing 1t would be to send some
OF them home.
But he did not do SO, for he had
run away, and was ashamed to. Fin
ally the desire to buy one and send
it to his father became so strong that
he gave In He purchased one with
a picture Of the San Francisco post
Office on it. one of the buildings which
had survived the fire, and wrote a
brief note.
He said in the note that now that
he had broken the ice he would fol-
low the card with a letter, In which
he would tell them something about
the things that had happened to him
since he last saw them.
Louis F. Nonnast, Jr.. father OF the
absent son, said yesterday that there
had been no reason for Harry leav-
ing home two years ago. and said
that 1t was probably an attack of
"wanderlust." The card did not state
whether the writer intended to re-
turn home. The father offered $500
reward for a trace of the boy.

six months after my decease by my
wife, Mary Ling, her heirs, and exc

HAD NERVE, BUT NO MONEY.
UnIucky Mans Modest Request for
Pecuniary Assistance.

Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian,
while in New Orleans a few months
ago, took the opportunity of going to
the races. During the afternoon he
cashed several tickets, the result of
good guesses. He was feeling happy
after the last race, and started for
the automobile which was to convey
him back to his hotel. AS he was
about to climb into the machine he
felt a hand on his arm, and a man
shouted in his ear:
Hello, Hitchcock, how are you?
Hear you put a crimp in the bookies
to-day"
Hitchcock blushed and shook hands
sheepishly, not recognizing the man.
and not wishing to show it.
Say, l want to speak to you con
fdentially," said the stranger.
"All right; what is it," asked the
comedian.
We'll, I am up against some hard
luck to-day. They cleaned me and ]
want to get home. Now, don't let
any one of these people see you, but
slip me enough for car fare, will
you?"
Sure" said Hitchcock, placing his
hand in his pocket. Then he paused
and queried: Where do you live?"
Vancouver" was the answer.
Hitchcock took a flying leap for his
machine, and unless the visitors al
New Orleans are more gullible, the
i%mpecunious one is still looking for
car fare.-Harper's Weekly.

SPLENDID p r TONIC.
Easily Prepared at Home and Harm,
less to Use.

This is known as Blood Cleaning
Time" especially among the older
folks, who always take something dur
ing this month to clean the blood of
impurities and build it up.
The following is the recipe as given
by a well-known authority, and any
one can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak-
ing well in a bottle. The dose is one
~teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time.
Everybody should take something to
help the blood, which becomes impov-
erished and almost sour after the win,
ter season, especially those who are
subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid,
ney and Bladder trouble.
1t is said that one weeks use of this
mixture will clear the skin of sores
pimples or boils.
This is sound, healthy advice, which
will be appreciated by many readers.

A $4,000 TREASURY ROBBERY.
Clever Work of Detective Revealed
the Thief.

The robbery of the sub-treasury in
Chicago recalls the fact that the
treasury department in Washington
was the victim of a $4,000 theft about
80 years ago. At first, although no
reasonable explanation of how the
thing could have been done by an out
slider could be given, it was assumed
that it was the work Of some one I'M
connected with the office in which the
robbery occurred. 1t was not long.
however, before a clever detective
became acquainted with the fact that
one of the clerks who might have had
access to the bundle of bills was ac-
quainted with a professional gambler
of shady antecedents. That discovery
solved the problem. A little patient
watching resulted in catching the
gambler with the stolen notes, and
the rest was easy. The clerk was ar
rested, and, while in confinement, was
given to understand that he was be.
trayed, whereupon he confessed the
robbery, which was accomplished by
showing the package of notes, all Of
large denominations, into a position
where they could be "snaked up
with a cane provided with a hook.

THOUGHT HIM A LuNArIc.
Mans Queer tumble Of Words War
ranted the Inference.

Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale
recently told this story at New Ha-
ven's chamber Of commerce banquet:
A hard drinker was told by his doctor
that he could be cured If every time
he felt that he must have q drink he
would Immediately take something to
eat instead.
The man followed the advice and
was cured, but the habit Of asking for
food had become SO fixed with him
that once he was nearly locked up as
a lunatic. He was stopping at a hotel
and, hearing a great commotion in the
% next to his, he peeped over the
transom to see what the matter was.
He saw, and rushed madly down to
the office and shouted to the clerk:

GOOD GARDEN o
Skill Rather Than Strength Needed In
Their Handling.

The gardeners work depends more
upon skill than upon strength. The
grub hoe, the pick and the breaking
up pillow for new land need to be
strong, but in the garden a light
tool in good condition will make the
work easier and accomplish more
than the heavy tool. Keep the hoes
sharp and the teeth of the c~ultivator
and. horse hoe down to a cutting,
edge, and good points ON the plows.
and keep everything clean and
bright, SO that dirt will not adhere
to them to double their weight and
lessen their efficiency. The light tool
may not last as long as the heavy
one, and If it seems to be using I'D
the hoe very fast to grind it every
day, at least it is better to wear out
several hoes than one man or boy.
Many a boy has become disgusted
with farm work and with the farm
itself, simply because he was given
Worn-out tools to work with. which
had been condemned as unfit for a
good workman to use. Put such tools,
says the Northwestern Agriculturist,
into the junk heap, or lay them
away to be used only in cases of ex-
IRENE emergency, and give the boys
good tools and teach them how to
use them and take care of them, and
even If they do spoil them by not
knowing how to s them, it will be
better than spelling the boys, We re-
member when our father bought us
q new hoe, small and slight, suitable
for a boy, and in showing us how to
use II ne found it worked SO well and
easily that it was not long before
he had a new one himself.
