CHIEF executive in embryo, but appre-
ciated the hearty welcome accorded
him. "New York people," he said, of
ten seem to think that we in Maine
have only one question to decide-the
liquor question That is not true. we
have many important questions to set
tie. We possess some of the richest
timber lands and our hope to save our
forests is one of the chief issues in
Maine today. In the development and
growth of our State there never was a
period in it's history when l felt proud

it's interests and greater faith in its
future than at the present time"

L. T. Cooper, the man who claims
that Americans have weak stomachs
ard who is meeting the public of this
city, seems to be attracting an UNI
usual amount of attention.
Each day New Workers are calling
to hear about his theories and medi-
cine in greater numbers, and for TIE
past few days his headquarters has
presented a novel sight.
A remarkable feature, to an on
locker, is the varied types of people
whom Cooper is attracting. They
range from us-looking busl-
ness men and fashionably dressed
women to day laborers and thei:
plainly dressed wives. All rub
elbows in common cause.-the pur-
suit of health, or, as Cooper puts it,
sound digestion"
In an interview Thursday afternoon.
when the striking difference in the
various visitors was called to his at
tention, Cooper said: why not? Be
cause a man has a million dollars that
doesn't make his stomach any better.
On the contrary, sitting at desk all
day. riding back and forth in an
automobile and stuffing himself full
of rich food will put his entire system
out of order as sure as fate. Most
of the men and women of this class
whom | meet tell me they have been
seeing nerve specialists. The well-to-
do seem to attribute all their troubles
to nerves It's not their nerves. It's
modern conditions that have produced
the thousands of half-sick people
among rich and poor alike in this city.
and every other city in America. It's
broken down, over worked, stuffed-u up
digestive organs-that's where the
trouble is.

Shed at Pouren Hearing
Former Comrades in Arms
Testify For the Prisoner.
Witnesses Tell Of Events, But Re.
fuse to Give Any Names.

New York, Nov. IA further in
sight into the continuous warfare that
was waged by the peasantry against
the over-lords and barons of Russia
was gained today from the testimony
of two witnesses called by the defence
at the proceedings brought by the
Russian government in an effort to
have Jan Janoff Pouren, refugee, eX-
tradited on the ground that he IS
wanted for murder. arson and rob
berry in his native land. All Of the evil
dence 80 far presented by the defence
has tended to show that Pouren was
a leading figure in the Social Demo-
cratic party's revolutionary movement
and that many times the prisoner led
tire attacks on the barons and dra-
goons.
Jan Osolin, who was on the stand
at the previous hearing and testified
that lie had fought side by side with
Pouren, was recalled today. At the
recent hearing he had refused to give
the names of the members of the exec
utive committee which represented the
peasants and working people, and he
was again asked today. Osolin positive
ly refused, saying as he did before
that he feared to bring the vengeance
OF the Russian government on their
heads"
He spoke with freedom concerning
his acquaintance with Pouren, however
and gave additional details of the life
of Pouren when he had been compelled
to flee into the woods.
Edward Sermons, cabinetmaker OF
Chelsea, Mass, who had known Pou-
rem in Russia, was the next witness
called Sermons was reticient as Oso-
lin about giving the names of the men,
bers of the executive committee. The
witness told of his association with
Pouren and described him a "a brave
man, fighting for his fellows"
The prosecution tried to make Ser.

would not admit this. He said that the
attacks made on the barOns and dra

protection. The witness did not con
clude his testimony. The hearing wa!

PECULIAR ORIGIN OF MANY
CASES OF THIS TROUBLE.
Its Victims Are Often Healthy Look
ing and Otherwise Well Except
for This Distressing Affection.

Nervous dyspepsia. unlike other
forms Of indigestion, is disease of the
nerves, not of the stomach. 1t is most
frequent in highly emotional or hyster-
ical persons and is brought on by any
mental shock Grs excess. worry, excess
sive grief, or sudden excitement. Its
victims are usually notwithstanding
and have generally reached the age of
maturity.
Reing a disease Of the nerves it must
be treated by strengthening the nerves
and the use of q good nerve tonic. such
as DR.. Williams Pink Pills, together
with a generous and nourishing diet, is
the correct home treatment
After suffering with nervous lndiges-
ton fCc over two years, Mrs George F.
Martin, of No. Is Admiral street, New
Haven, Conn, tried DIR. Williams Pink
Pills. She tells of the great benefit she
received as follows:
Following severe rundown condi-
ton l ho gan to suffer with nervous IN
Digestion Food distressed me so
much that it was with difficulty I could
drink water and l had to live on milk
almost entirely. / lost in weight and
strength 1 was so nervous that l
could not bear to have any one visit
me I could not sleep nights or if ]
did l would wake up suddenly with Q
startled feeling. Whenever 1 ate much
my stomach would bloat and there
would be gas on it. Oftentimes l had
is vomit to get relief. On going up
stairs or in over-w working l was certain
t. have paipitation of the heart. l had
.,ull sick headaches which lasted for
| two or three days. During these at
lacks l was unable to do my house
| work. l felt sick all over and wanted
| to be undisturbed.
"The doctors medicine failed to help
| me after a trial of over three months.
| I read about DR.. Williams Pink Pills
| in a newspaper and began using them
| l noticed difference after l had taken
| only 8 few boxes and was cured when
| had given the pills a good trial. My
cure has been permanent but I keep DR.
| Williams Pink Pills on hand to use as

DR.. Williams Pink Pills are useful in
cases OF acid stomach and in the

which the slightest irritation causes
painful gnawing or burning sensations
This condition is common among grow
! ing girls.
Sufferers from dyspepsia in any form
who have found their condition unre-

using ordinary remedies, would do well
to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by all druggists or direct by
