j.. T. Cooper's theory concerning the
human stomach, which he claims to
prove, with his new medicine, Is being
given more respect and comment every
day.
Cooper claims that 80 per cent of
oil Ill health is due to stomach trouble.
When interviewed about his theory re-
Gently, he said: stomach trouble is
the great curse Of the goth century
so far as the civilized races are con-
cerned Practically all the chronic
Ill health of this generation is caused
by' abnormal stomach conditions. In
earlier days, when the human race was
closer to nature, and men and women
worked all day out of doors, digging
their frugal existence from the SOIL
the tired, droopy, half-sick people that
are now so common, did not exist.

those days, but it was of virulent

TITLE TO ONE oE cI1Y's
OLDEST HOUSES CONFIRMED

BY stipulation Of settlement ar
rived at by those Interested in the case
pending in the district court in which
the late J. K. P. Shelter brought suit
against Mrs. Addie Stewart, the title
to one of the oldest houses in Mar
shalitown, II not the Oldest, was con-
firmed Thursday afternoon.
The little,old cottage at 112 North Cen
tire street is the one in question, to-
gether with the lot on which it stands.
Strange to say, in all these years the
abstract TO the property shows but tw"
transfers since the original land grant
was issued by the government to Wells
Rice, a pioneer of Marshalltown and a
one time heavy land owner. Wells
Rice sold the property to Thomas
Hazen, father of Mrs. Stewart, and he
in turn decided it to his wife, the late
Mrs. Jennie Hazen. Mrs. Stewart was
her mothers only child, and claimed
the property as her sole heir. 1t was
then that the claim was contested by
the late j. X. P. Shelter, a few years
ago, who contended an interest thru
his father, the late George Shelter.
The case has been fought in the
courts, and Judge Burnham decreed
that Mrs. Stewart was entitled to the
property. The plaintiff appealed to the
supreme court, and because certain
evidence of the defendant had not been
introduced, the supreme court ordered
the case retired. Those interested fin
ally got together on settlement, and
decided to drop the litigation.
The property in question has been In
the Hazen family for fifty years, and
the house was on the lot when Mr..
Hazen bought it from Wells Rice. How
much longer the house had been built
before Hazen bought it, is not known
by the daughter, but it must have been
at least few years. At any rate the
house itself is over a half century
old, and is in a fairly good state OF
preservation even now. 1t was con-
structed almost wholly Of black wall
nut, even to the joists and rafters.
Now that the decree as originally
rendered by Judge Burnham has been
confirmed, and the litigation is at an
end, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart will begin
the making of plans for a new and
modern home to supplant the old They
expect to build next spring, and make
the new house their home.

Examination by Specialist Being
Made Under Direction OF the
School Board
OVER so PER CENT HAVE DEFECT
In Second Grade at First Word, Who're
Pupils Arc 7 to 8 Years Old, Eish-
teen Out of Thirtyfour Examined
Show Symptoms Needing Correction
Thirteen Have Defective Vision.

In an effort to ascertain to what eX-
tent the pupils of the public schools
are affected by some defects in either
vision or hearing, the school board has
accepted the offer Of the services of DR..
F. P. Lerle, who started Thursday aft
ernoon to make an examination of one
grade in each of the different ward
buildings. The result was in exact &C
cordance with claims made by physi-
clans in larger cities, who have been
agitating movement to have exam
nations Of pupils made, and see what
could be done for them in q way of
correcting defects while they were
young.
Over SO per cent of the children OF
the second grade at the First ward
school, the first room examined,
showed defects of some kind that need
correcting. These pupils are and s
years old. Thirteen Of the eighteen
show defective vision, and about two
thirds adenoids or enlarged tonsils
which, in time, will affect the hearing.
Astigmatism is common fault in de-
fective vision, several cases showing
one eye normal, and the other several
degrees of astigmatism. Near sight
edness is another common fault, and
crossed eyes another. The tests were
not radical, and only those showing
marked defects were placed in the list
from which the statistics will be COM
piled.
New York and Chicago physicians
have been agitating a general exam
ination Of school children, to ascertain
these common errors Of vision and
hearing, and have resulted in having
the examinations made. Des Moines
physicians have also recently taken up
the matter and acted. The campaign is
one of education to parents, who viii
be made to realize that the errors III
either vision of hearing should be COR
rected when their children are young,
and when the corrections may prove
more lasting.

sHAckELFoRD CASE UP.
Divorce Case Hustled Into Court BY
Judge Bradshaw.

Jud90 BRADSHAW.
The divorce case of Mrs. Mary
Shackelford VS.. A. v. Shackelford was
taken up before Judge Bradshaw this
morning. BY ruling on a motion for
temporary alimony, and by the paying
of the alimony within a few minutes
after the ruling was made late Thurs
day evening, the case was ordered
brought before the court at once, de-
spite the protests of Mrs. Shackel-
ford's attorney.
The PLAINTIFFS attorney Thursday
afternoon took up his motion for the
allowance of 800 temporary sllimony
with which to carry on her case.
Judge Bradshaw allowed the client
$50, and ordered that as soon as it was
paid the case should be tried. The
husband paid the alimony at once, and
Judge Bradshaw ordered the case for
trial on the opening of court this
morning.
Mrs Shackelfords attorneys claim
of appropriateness was based on a
motion which the husbands attorney
had filed, by which it was sought to
remove Mrs. Shackelford's attorney
from the case. This motion was not
taken up and was waived by the at
torney who filed it.
Mrs. Shackelford's case is brought
on the allegation of cruel and inhu-
man treatment. Alimony, in whatever
sum the court may deem just, is also
asked for. The divorce proceedings
are the direct result Of criminal case
brought against the husband by the
wife last spring. She charged him
with assault with intent to do great
bodily injury in Justice Millard's
court. The case never came to trial
it having been dismissed by Mrs
Shackelford The granting Of the di-
vorce is being holly contested by
Shackelford.
All of today will probably be con-
sumed in hearing the case.
