To Hear
From
Cooper

e. We wish to call the attention of the public to
to series Of short talks" by L. 7. Cooper that are
to be published in this paper.
d. The Cooper medicines have made remarkable re-
cord IN the leading cities of the United States during the
past two years and young Mr. Cooper has been the sub
jet Of much newspaper comment.
a. Mr.. Cooper has met and talked with thousands of
sick people in his visits almost every large city in the
country.
a. Tie is noted as a man of very few words and tells
briefly in these articles what his preparations are doing
for sick people and why they have been successful
wherever introduced.
a. Mr. Coopers theory that half of all human ills
IS caused by stomach trouble and the wonderful sue
cess OF his preparations in the treatment of stomach
disorders, kidney and liver complaints rheumatism etc.
seems to have proven this claim
L. Some time ago secured the agency for these cee
brated medicines. We have been graufed bv the
extreme satisfaction of those who have purchased them
from us and advise every read these short talks
as they are full of terse, common sense.

Protecting the Trade Mark.
From American Industries.

The importance of protecting the
trade mark cannot be too strongly en-
phasiZed To the manufacturer the
trade mark, if it is of any value what
ever, is one of his most valuable as
sets. A trade mark backed up by hon.
est goods and exploited by a progress
sive house is half the battle in the com.
mercial world.
The buying public soon learns to know
and recognize goods by their trade
marks and to purchase accordingly The
trade mark stands as a guarantee to the
buyer. Today there is no public benefit
more firmly established. 1t is of COM
paratively recent origin and has been
adequately recognized only during the
past twenty-five years. The trade mark
designates distinctively the article to
which 1T is attached, and stands sponsor
for the same.
1t has probably done more toward
keeping up the standard Of goods than
any other one factor. For instance, If
a manufacturer puts product bearing
his label on the market, he must main
tain the integrity of that article or his
trade mark becomes an effective boom
erang rather than the aid which he ex-
poets of 1t. Let a purchaser see an
article bearing trade mark that does
not bear out the statements set forth
in the advertisement and the article
will never again be called for by that
buyer. On the other hand, once an ar

NAVY TACKLES ARMY
AGAIN TOMORROW

The Fortress Monroe team will arrive in
Washington on the Norfolk boat tomor-
row morning, with Lieut.. Thompson in
charge. The lineup of the team until the
prese mt has not been obtainable. The men
will breakfast on their arrival, and will
have light lunch at noon, after which
they will proceed to the park for practice
before the game. The Fortress Monroe
team has been meeting all corners at the
fort, and exposition grounds all the sea-
son. 1t is hard to tell who will get the
honors.
The Navy had its final hard practice last
evening. lining up against the Dolphin
team and the Hospital team alternately.
The Navy team, it was believed, would
not be able to have the use of its center,
Watson, and it's quarterback Bishop,
owing to the fact that they were doing
duty at Indian Head, but they came up
ready for the fray and were hard at
practice last evening.
The Navy is contident of winning, and
II the players show as good form as they
did Thanksgiving day the fort team will
have hard time downing them.
The forward pass and on-side kick were
practiced repeatedly and successfully
during the last practice, and conSidera BILE
time has been devoted to going down
under punts and receiving kicks, as this
was about the only weakness shown in
the last game
The game starts at 3 o'clock at Aneri-
can League Park. Lieut.. Nichols Of the
Navy will be the referee. There will be
35-minute halves.
The lineup of the Navy team is as fol-
lows:
Watson, center; Anderson. left guard;
Warner. left tackle; Hare left end
Batchke, right guard: Blake. right tackle;
Clarity. right end; Bishop (captain), quar-
terback; Heiston, right half; Rose left

of last year. might have the pleasure of
staying at home
President Sullivan's talk was brought
out by the attack on Halpin yesterday by
President Pat Conway of the Irish Anne RI
can A. c.. who said that he would never
consent to the reappointment of the for
mer manager.
There was no change in Conway's opin-
ion yesterday. THE talk that we are
jealous of the New York A. C. is all rot
he said. L have nothing against Halpin
personally, but do know that some of
the best athletes in the country object to
him as the man in charge of the team.
do not think that it is a good plan to
send an unpopular man with the team
that is to represent our country in the
next olympiad.
"a number of the boys have told ME
that they will under no circumstances be-
come members of the team if Halpin is
t, be in charge again.
From the line of talk that President
Sullivan gave out 1t is probable that these
same. athletes will not become members
of the team unless they change their atti-
tude toward Ha1pin.
This protest is without foundation in
any sort of reason" said the chief of the
amateur organization. I'm the first place
there is not an athlete in the country that
knows as yet whether he will be chosen,
and will not know until next June. If the
team then selected puts in unanimous
protest against Mr.. Halpin there might be
some excuse for noticing it, but there is
certainly none for listening to the fuss
of men who have not been selected for
the team.
Mr.. Halpin was unanimously chosen at
meeting of the national championships
committee, and I do not think that they
will reverse themselves"
Halpin had long conference yesterday
with Mr.. Sullivan. In regard to the pro-
test of some athletes and others connected
with the sport against his selection as
manager Halpin had little to say. He
simply remarked: 'Some of the athletes
that went to Athens with me are sore
because 1 wouldn't let them walk over me-
worked always for the best interests of
the American team"

BOARD OF REVIEW
CLOSES ITS SESSION

| NEW YORK, December 6.-Misceilane-
Gus business was all that was transacted
by the board of review of the National
Trotting Association at the Murray Hill
Hotel yesterday No decisions were rem
dered and all unfinished cases were car
ried over to the next meeting to be held
in May, 1908. After an executive session
of about two hours an adjournment was
| voted shortly after noon.
Prior to going into executive session F.
c. Barlow of kenton. Ohio. was given five
minutes in which to make plea for a
reconsideration, removal or modification
of the penalty of expu sion imposed Tues
day J for having entered and driven a
horse at Montgomery, Ala. while under
penalty for previous offenses. The board
promptly refused to consider the appli-
cation.
Barlow explained that notwithstanding
the rulings against him fifteen years ago
he was in good standing in the American
Trotting Association and wished to so
| remain. He had entered at Montgomery
under the impression that it was an Amer
lean Association track. and for that rea-
son believed the penalty of expulsion.
which would deprive him of the privileges
of racing anywhere, was extremely harsh.
1t was explained to him that the recent
expulsion only revived two previous ex-
pulsions and gave them renewed force.
and that. inasmuch as the American AS
ISOLATION now recognizes and enforces
suspensions as well as explosions decreed
by the National Association. a modified
order imposing only a suspension would
afford no relief
He then submitted letters from promi-
nenet business men of kenton. where he
has resided for fifteen years. all of which
testified to his good standing as neigh
Dor and citizen. Those letters were left
with the board to be used at the next
meeting. at which he promises to make
full explanation of the transactions of
fifteen years ago for which he was penal
lied So long as he could trot his horses
on American tracks he did not care to
defend the old cases. Now he is COM
PEELED to do so or retire permanently. In
final plea for clemency he called atten-
ION to the fact that. considering his finan-
cial resources. he had been a liberal pa
iron and promoter of the tfotting turf.
having paid as high as 5000 for one
horse. According to his own statement he
had lodged the National Association for
fifteen years and inadvertently had again
invaded It's jurisdiction.

HARVARD TO PLAY
PRINCETON AGAIN

PHILADELPHIA. December 6.-The
latest development in this season of foot
ball schedule making is a triple alliance
between Harvard. Yale and Princeton.
A deal of this kind has been rumored for
some time but it is said that at the re-
cent Yale Harvard game representatives
of all three colleges got together and
talked the matter over. Yale already
plays Harvard and Princeton. so it only
remains for Princeton and Harvard to
schedule a game and then the deal is
completed.
According to a gentleman who is on the
inside of such matters, and a graduate of
Harvard. the deal is as good as made.
He states that the formal papers will be
signed very soon, when the dates o. the
games will be fixed upon. Princeton and
Harvard have not played each other since
1896
According to the same authority, it was
suggested at the conference that the deal
be made four-cornored, which would
take in Pennsylvania. This was agree
able on the whole, but the prejudice of
some of the influential Princeton grad
yates will have to be overcome before
the scheme can be put through.

Opium Crop in China.
From Success Magazine.

No one knows how much opium was
grown in China last year. There are es-
timates-official, missionary, consular, and
they disagree by thousands and tens of
thousands of tons. But it IS known that
where the delicate poppy is reared it de-
mands and receives the best land 1t
thrives in the rich river bottoms. 1t has
crowded out grain and vegetables wher-
ever it has spread, and has thus become
a contributing factor to famines It's
product, opium, has run over China like
olack wave, leaving behind 1t a misery,
darkness, a oesolation that has struck
even the Chinese. even its victims. with
horror. China has passed from misery to
disaster. And as If the laws of trade had
chosen to turn capriciOusly from their in
exorable business and wreak grim joke
On PROSTATE race. the solution, the

trade in Indian opium has been hurt to
be sure, but not supplanted. 1t never will
be supplanted until the British govern
ment deliberately puts it down. For the
Chinese cannot raise opium which COM
petes in quality with the Indian drug
Indian opium Is in steady demand for the
purpose of mixing with Chinese opium
No duties can keep it out; duties simply
increase the cost to the Chinese consumer.

Hart, director of the Chinese imperial Gus
toms, had hopes that the great step
would prove effective. In These from
the Land of Sinim' he has expressed this
hope:
Your legalized opium has been curse
In every province it penetrates, and your
refusal to limit or decrease the import
has forced us to attempt a dangerous
remedy-we have legalized native opium
not because we approve of it, but to COM
pete with and drive out the foreign drug
and it is expelling it. and when we have
only the native production to deal WITH
and thus have the business in our own
hands, we hope to stop the habit in our
own WaY.'

THE "NAUGHTY" BABY.
But Do You Think the Baby Cries
About Nothing.

Bolton Hall, in st. Nicholas.
Of course baby cries about very little
things sometimes, because he is only a
baby. When there are big things it is
right for big people like mamma and
your uncle to cry, too.
Do you think that baby cries about
nothing? Big people sometimes think
you cry about nothing-but you know
You do not: there is always something.
1 saw tiny baby one day in his little
wagon. He looked as we'll and as strong
as a baby could. 1t was a fine. bright
day and he had rattle to play with.
and he had nice, soft. white carriage
shade to keep the sun off, but he was
crying and crying and crying. The
nurse thought he was hungry and gave
him a bottle of milk. The baby would
not drink it. She took him up, still the
baby cried and the tears ran down his
little pink cheeks. She locked to see If
pin was sticking him-no. What could
be the matter? The baby cried and cried.
He had everything that he wanted. The
nurse gave him a stick to put in his
mouth: he cried just the same. Then
she got him a red wheel to play with;
when the wind blew, the wheel would
turn around. The baby cried just the
same.
Inc nurse sat down on seat under
tree: then the baby stopped crying;
when she began to move off, the poor
little one cried again and stuck his fat
fingers in his eyes.
The nurse said: 'It is just naughty.
he is Now wasn't that a stupid nurse
to think tiny baby would be naughty
for nothing?
So I went and looked at that baby.
His poor eyes blinked and winked and
screwed themselves up. The white sun
shade and the white carriage cover made
the light so bright in his face that I knew
t shone into his eyes and hurt him.
Maybe baby had a headache. Maybe his
eyes would have got sore afte- a while,
so that he could not see at all I told
the nurse. and she turned the dark side
Of the cover out, which looked funny, and
put dark veil over the sunshade. The
baby smiled and began to crow at once.
Now you see what made the baby cry,
for nothing happens without some reason.
was naughty, would we? No, indeed.
What would you do?

to look for them when purchasing. How
