When John was four years old,
grandpa made him his first kite. 1t
was a big one, and pulled hard when
1t was up high, and 1t was not easy for
a little boy to hold it. Grandpa used
to help him put it up, and then hold
on to the string with him.
John wanted very much to hold it
alone; so one day, after grandpa had
helped him to put it up. he left him in
the big field. There was a strong
breeze, and it pulled hard: but John
held on tight 1t soon pulled him
along. Down through the big field he
went, almost running. There was

L. r. Cooper's theory comedians 'he
human stomach. which he claims 10
prove with his new medicine. is being
given more respect and comment every
day.
Cooper claims that 80 per cent. OF
all i'll health is due to stomach trouble.
When interviewed about his theory re-
Gently. he said: Stomach trouble is
the great curse of the goth century
so far as the civilized races are con-
cerned. Practically all of the chronic
ill health Of this generation is caused
by abnormal stomachic conditions. In
earlier days, when the human race was
closer to nature, and men and women
worked all day out of doors, digging
their frugal existence from the soil,
the tired, droopy, half-sick people that
are now so common, did not exist.
ITO be sure, there was sickness in
those days, but it was Of a virulent
character, and only temporary. There
was none of this half-sick condition
all the time with which SO many are
afflicted nowadays.
Il know positively that every bit OF
this chronic ill health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stomach
in civilized people today is degenerate.
1t lacks tone and strength. This weak.
ness has gradually come through a
sedentary existence. I further know
that few people can be sick witt -
