SOME STATEMENTS
 REGARDING NEW THEORY
Followers of Cooper and His Novel Ideas Give
 Reason for Their Belief in Him.

With ( theory that human health is dependent on the stomach and with a medicine which he says proves this theory l.. T. Cooper. comparatively young man, has built up an immense following during the past year.
 Cooper has visited most of the lead ing cities of the country, and in each city has aroused a storm of discussion Wherever he has gone, people have called upon him by tens of thousands, and his preparation has sold in i'm. mense quantities.
 The sale of this medicine has now spread over the entire country, and is growing enormously each day. In view of this, the following statements from two of the great number of followers which he now has, are of general in. terest.
 Mrs. Agnes Viggenhouser, of 942 St. Louis Avenue, Chicago, has the follow. ing to say on the subject of the Cooper preparations: "For more than ten years was broken down in health. I could not sleep and l was very ner. vous. Gradually I began to lose my memory, until I could not remember things from one day to another. l had severe pains and cramps in my body, and l would at times see dark spots before my eyes. l was unable to do any work whatever, as my strength was failing. had no appetite, nor could take any medicine.
 had about given up hope of ever being we'll again when read of MT.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-11-07

Cooper's remedies. I decided to give them trial, and began to feel better a once. After taking the medicine for two weeks l can say that I am a new woman. l can eat with enjoyment. the pains in my body have left me. and am stronger than 1 have been for years.
 "I cannot say enough for MT. Cooper's remedies. They are wonder full, for they lave done everything claimed for them in my case."
 Another statement by MT. W. B. Stewart, 109 w. Madison St., Chicago, is as follows: "I have had stomach trouble for years, and anyone who is afflicted this way knows what an awful distressed feeling it causes. Many a time have felt that would give most any price to be cured. It was by ac- cident that I heard of this man Cooper's remedies. immediately made up my mind to buy treatment of him. I used it for about two weeks, and it is impossible to tell how much good it has done me. I feel altogether different. I have more life and energy than l have had for years. This med icine certainly does stimulate and strengthen the whole system. Tired feeling and weak condition of the stomach has entirely passed away. feel we'll again.

SHRUBS A NECESSITY,
They Give a Charm Which Nothing
 Else Can Supply.

S~ 0"'' ~"FF'|'
 Every resident of a community owes certain obligations to it which he can- not slight without annoyance 10 those about him. One of these duties is to observe order and care about his prem ises. A home which is the very per lection of neatness and beauty may be thoroughly spoiled by. slouchy place adjoining it. It is the duty of every citizen to keep his grounds clean and attractive. and they can be made beau- ty spots with little care and expense. When one resident takes up this work, others usually follow, and whole blocks are thus beautified. This is what makes the town attractive and brings new residents. In an article on beautifying yards in the Home Magazine Eben B. Rexford says:
 Every yard ought to have its shrubs They give to 1t charm which nothing else can supply, On very small grounds they take the place of trees very satis- factorily. Indeed, they are prefera ble there because they are not likely to outgrow the limits assigned them, as trees will in time, and they do not make shade enough to bring about the insanitary conditions which are almost always found to exist in small places where the trees have made strong Ge. yelopment.
 Shade is a pleasing feature in sun9' uer. but there is such thing as hay, ing too much of it. We frequently ses places In which the dwelling is almost hidden by. a thicket of trees, and ex am:nat. on will show that the house js always damp and that the occupants oi 1t are unhealthy. Look at the roof, and you will be likely, to find the shingles covered with green moss. The only remedy for such 8 condition of things 1s tie thinning out or removal of some of the trees and the admission of sun. with producing such state of things hence my preference for them on lots where there is not much room.
 Vines can be used upon the walls o. the dwellings and about the veran1as and porches in such way as to give
  a few really fine specimens of shrubs scattered about the grounds, frees will not be likely to be missed very mueb, I would not be understood as dlscoui aging the planting of trees on place where there is ample space for then development. .A fine tree is one of thn most beautiful things in the worlu, but it must be given good deal O room, and that is something that cannot be done on the small city or village iot
 It takes years for a tree to grow i" good size, while a shrub will-or ought to at least-be in it's prime the third or fourth year from planting and gener ally affords satisfactory degree W pleasure to it's owner from the start

Let No One Boast.

Nevertheless, let no one boast. Just as every man. though be be the great est genius has very definite limitations In some one sphere of knowledge. and thus attests his common origin with the essentially pervcrse and stupid mass of mankind so also has every man something in his nature which Is positively evil. Even the best-nay, the ooblest-characte will sometimes sur prise us by isolated traits of depravity as though 1t ere to acknowledge his kinship with the human race, in which ~illainy-nay, cruelty-is to be found in that degree.-Ss hopenhauer.
