An interesting interview was re-
Gently obtained with L. r. Cooper,
the young man whose theory and
medicine have created such a sensa-
ton during the past year.
Mr., Cooper, in speaking Of the re-
markable success Of his medicine, had
this to say on the subject: Ny med
icine regulates the stomach. That is
why it is successful. The human
stomach today has become degener-
ate, and is the cause for most i'll
health In the horse, the dog, and
the wild animals generally, you see
no nerve exhaustion. no chronic de-
bility They are not shut mp day
after day with practically no eXer-
else. and they are not able to stuff
themselves with food when their
bodies have not had enough work to
Justify it. The human race has been
doing this for years, and look at the
result-half the people are complain
ing of poor health, not real illness
Just a half-sick, tired, droopy feeling.
They don't really know what is the
matter with them.
Il know that all the trouble is
caused by weak, overworked stom-
achs. I have proved this with my
medicine to many thousands of peo-
pie in most of the leading cities OF
this country. l expect to do the same
thing in Europe next year. This is
the real reason for the demand for
nv preparation"
Among those who have recently
been converted to Coopers theory is

Street. Winchester, Mass. Mr.

Oflsets Adverse Balances.

Thus a great stream Of wealth has
been sent from farms to foreign coun-
tries to offset the adverse balance of
trade in commodities other than ag-
ricultural, to pay the ocean freight
costs on imports conveyed in foreign
owned ships, and to pay the interest,
dividends, and principal on invest
ments in the United States by for
eigners. 1t is the farmer who has
sent credit to expatriated Americans
it is he who has provided the immi-
grant with millions to send every
year to the loved ones in the old
countries, and if there is still any
credit to dispose of, the farmer has
provided the American traveller in
foreign countries with his pocket
money"
