ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 16.-(SpeciaD
On January l Georgia will have a
new State Chemist. Dr. John NJ.
McCandless. for several years the
able and efficient head of the State
Chemical laboratories, will retire
to take up private work in his own
laboratories He will be succeeded
by DR.. r. NJ, Stallings, a chemist of
ability and experience. DIR. Stallings
has been at work on the department
for the past several months and is
prepared to go forward with the
work without interruption.
The State is especially fortunate
in securing DR.. Stallings with the
pure food law practically just going
into effect. He has served the gov
eminent in this line of work and has
studied it closely. The new labora-
tories have been installed under his
direction. DR.. McCandless has been
and is a firm friend of the pure
food law 1t is due to his energy
and interest that the adulteration of
olive oil has been ended. He be-
lieyes that cotton seed oil is a much
finer food product than the olive oil
and that under the enforcement OF
the pure food law the public will
soon realize this fully.

new THEORY SUCCESSFUL
IN INDIANAPOLIS
L. T. Cooper Makes Many Converts During Stay
in That City.

The new theory (backed up by his
preparation advanced by l.. T.
Cooper with regard TO the cause of
most i'll health of the present genera
ton is being sown broadcast by this
young man.
Cooper believes that the human
stomach has become degenerate in
civilized races and claims that good
health is impossible unless the stom-
ash is re-vitalized. This he claims to
do with his preparation.
An article from the indianapolis
Star during Cooper's stay in that city
has this to say of Cooper and his pre-
paration: Residents of this city
are being astounded by L. T. Cooper
and his new preparation.
Reports that preceded Mr.. Coop
er's visit here told of his success in
other localities, but the immense sue
cess of his medicine and the general
belief in his theory was wholly un-
precedented.
80 great is the rush of the public
to this young man that people stand
in line waiting their turn for hours
in an effort to see him. The most in
teresting feature of this is state
ments made by reliable citizens as
to the actual accomplishments of
Cooper's medicine Among recent
statements of this character the fol-

lowing is fair example:
Mr. B. F. Campbell of 1924 West
Washington Street, had this to say of
his experience with Cooper: / have
been a victim of stomach trouble for
the past five years-sick and suffering
pain all the time. Everything | ate
distressed me. | have been under the
treatment of many physicians and
have taken all kinds of medicine, none
of which afforded me relief. l was
greatly discouraged, and was about
ready to give up, when Mr. Cooper
came to this city to introduce his
preparations.
L was skeptical of course, after
spending so much money and taking
such large quantity of medicine, but,
like the drowning man, | was ready
to grab at straw, so | secured some
of Mr.. Cooper's New Discovery medi-
cine and began taking it. 1t seemed
to help right from the first dose. l
have been taking it for several weeks,
and can now eat heartily and enjoy
my meals for the first time in five
years-eat anything, without pain or
distress of any kind. l feel like a
new being-life is worth living now .
