During l.. r. Cooper'S recent stay
in Boston, it is estimated that sixty
five thousand people talked with him
and purchased his medicine. This is
an average of over two thousand a
day.
His success was SO phenomenal as
to cause universal comment both by
the public and the press There must
be a reason for this Here Is the
reason given in his own words by Mr.
Cooper when interviewed on the sub
ject. He said:
"The immense numbers of people
who are calling on me here in Boston
is not unusual. l have had the same
experience for the past two years
wherever I have gone. The reason is
81 simple one. 1t is because my medt-
cine puts the stomach in good condi-
ton. This does not sound unusual,
but 1t is in fact the. key to health
The stomach is the very foundation OF
life. 1 attribute 80 per cent. of all
sickness directly to the stomach.
Neither animals nor men can re-
main well with poor digestive appa-
ratus Few can be sick with a diges-
ton in perfect condition. AS matter
of fact. most men and women today
are half-sick. 1t is because too much
food and too little exercise have grad
ually forced the stomach into half
sick condition. Ny medicine gets the
stomach back where 1t was. and that
Is all that is necessary
Among the Boston people who are
staunch believers in Mr.. Cooper's
theory. is Mr.. Frank D. Brown, of 81

Stars and Stripes on Gloves.


A new glove design has been brought
out for use on mems fabric gloves
only. The TEXTURES are stars and
stripes" in colors Of red, white and
blue, says Mems Wear. The glove
with the design on will be used for
parades during national, state and city
election campaigns or upon any occa-
sion when display of patriotic sentf-
ment in wearing apparel is desired.
The design is very simple and easily
made and Is used mostly on cheap cot,
ton goods. The glove now sells at re-
tail stores for Is cents and with the
design on will cost 25 cents. The pa
triotic sentiment is always in evidence
during election periods in the United
States, and the glove with this design
is introduced to be used during the
presidential campaign Of 1908.

New York, Nov. 12.-Dr. A. II. Doty,
health officer of this port, who fof
years has made a study Of infectious

especially with ambulance cases. rath-

Mr.. Carnegie said;
Nothing unusual or Unexpected has

and many a domestic complication.
He mas brought the document to
Washington to present it to the Presi-

This One in Algebra.

The best algebraic solution OF the

and gives one the answer at glance.
The solution is as follows;
Ny solution of the problem IN today s

Let y equal Mays age. Then y plus
16Ja equals Johns age y plus 21s equals
