''Molasses" is not kept by the laws

actually plural used as singular.
1t comes from the French. 'melasse,"

the plural OF ''moiosses."
The form, ''muds,' which The Times

UNLOCKED MEAT IS

Cincinnati. o., April 2-Probably
the most unusual feature OF the excite.

Cooper's visit to this city is the re

called, brought either to himself or to
physicians throughout the city i'm

TEN after using the medicine.
Many OF these people were fright
ened, and cases OF this sort became so
numerous that Cooper finally made the
following statement for publication:
He said: "In every city visit these
things are brought to me within few
days after my medicine is sold in the
city. They are what is known as the
tape-worm and grow to an enormous
size"

these creatures are. l think I have

Individuals may have them for
years and not be aware of the reason
for the continued ill health but at

system in uncooked food or raw meat,

but thousands OF Cincinnati people have
been relieved of some OF these fearful
parasites since taking Cooper's prepar
alton, and the entire city has been
aroused by the fact
Some of these parasites are of such
enormous size as to start IL the imap In
alton. The statement Of Father John
Baptist Arnolis. one of the best known
and best beloved priests in this section
veriiies this. His statement among
others given a reporter WAS as follows:
For years | suffered from what
thought was general run down con-
dition OF the system caused by stomach
trouble. | felt extremely tired all the
time, and it was great effort to attend
to my duties. | would wake up in the

try some, although do not take patent

RHEUMATISM Is CURABLE
If URIC-O Is USED
ALL OTHER TREATMENTS FAIL

Is it the unhealthy foods we eat or
the rapid pace in which we live that
cause such an endless amount of Rheu-
matism nowadays? The disease has GER
tainly reached an alarming point, as
nine-tenths of the adult population in
this country are more or less afflicted
with some form of this maddening dis
ease. Recent investigation has proven
the fact that Rheumatism is a blood
disease, therefore, many bright chem
lists and physicians have had good
ground to work upon, and they have
succeeded in compounding a remedy,
which, if used as advised, cannot fail to
drive and eliminate from the blood and
muscles all traces of mans greatest
evil, Poison Rheumatic Acid. URlC-O
is the name of this remedy. 1t is

cure all forms of Rheumatism and good

The enormous strength of the condor
is only equaled by his voracity and
boldness. This immense bird often
pounces upon small animals. but from
the shape and bluntness of his claws
he is unable to carry anything very
heavy. so he contents himself with
fixing 1t against the ground with one
of his claws, while with the other and
