condition; bad habits and weak
stomach. BY bad habits mean eating
irregularly and too fast and not chew
Ing the food thoroughly. The stom-
ach gives out and loss Of appetite,
biliiousness, constipation, aud general
debility result. First get the stomach
In shape and then be more careful In
the future, and the worn out, despond-
ent, half sick feeling will be a thing
of the past.
Two bottles of Cooper's New Dis
covery will put the stomach in shape.
Common sense will do the rest. There
are fifty thousand people in this
country who know this to be true be-
cause they've tried it.
Here's a letter from one of them:
AZ was all run down from overwork,
lost ambition and energy and could
not sleep. 1t was difficult for me to
attend to my work owing to that tired
out feeling. I secured two bottles of
the New Discovery medicine and de-
termined to try 1t. The result de-
lighted me for renewed strength and
vigor and energy came with the first
few doses. It's effect was different
from anything had ever taken. l
finished the two bottles now and feel
well and strong again" ". McDade,
S3o Dix Ave, Detroit, Mich.

Sheriff johnson caught runaway
lad, Friday morning, who had wake
TO this city from Hatton, Galloway
county, distance Of fifteen miles.
The boy had left the home Of bis
adopted father, Wood Muir, because

I'll morning when he continued his
trip. The little fellow, when seen BY
a LEDGER representative, had just
been taken In tow by the Sheriff and
was not only slightly abashed but be.
gining to get frightened. He is q
sturdy chap, short, with the stature Of
a six year old boy rather than one
nine years of age. He has light hail
and blue eyes and was warmly clad in
overalls, a thick coat, good stout
leather boots and a warm cap.
He would say little, giving the rea.
son for his sudden departure from the
home Of his foster parents as "cause
they treated me mean" He was sent
home to-day.
Mr.. Muir adopted the boy when he
was three years old from a st. Louis
home and since that time has kept
him with him constantly. He has
been, probably, reprimanded because Q

under the impression he had been
grossly mistreated. From all appear.
ances he must have good home ant

times fails to appreciate when he ha.

Probate Court News.

The first application that has been filed in the probate court in four years praying the court to declare debtor insolvent, was made yesterday after noon when Attorney William A. Wright, on behalf of George l. Will COX of Groton, filed an application for the insolvency of A. Foote and com pany. This is the second creditor of the firm which has come to the front since the disappearance of Edward F'oote, the president of the firm on Memorial day. Wilcox claims an in- tebtness of $7OO and when Deputy Sheriff Goodhart went to the store to levy the attachment he found nothing to attach, the entire property being under attachment already In the action of a New York wholesale market.
 Thereupon the petition was filed with the probate court. Ordinarily actions of this kind are under the charge of the United States court so that there have not been any in that court since 1908. Judge Studley has set June 12, at 10 a. m. for the hearing on the petition.
