WEAK FROM SUFFERING
UNABLE TO PERFORM WORK
Discouraged After Spending Money Without
Benefit-Found Help at Last

Mr.. Earl Mccoy, living at 1906 So.
Branson Street, Marion, Ind, has
passed through an experience that is
being duplicated every day In every
town and city OF any consequence in
the United States. 1t furnishes abun-
dant proof Of the correctness Of L. T..
Cooper's theory in regard to the de-
generacy Of the human stomach, and
shows conclusively the merit possessed
by his New Discovery medicine to re-
store the weakened system to full
strength and vigor.
Mr.. Mccoy says: 'For long time

couraged and gave up hope Of ever
being well again.
II heard a great deal of Mr.. Coop
er's theory and medicine, and after
much hesitation decided to try 1t. The
result was pleasant surprise. Before

I was able to retain all food eaten; and
my strength began to return. Ihave
taken six or seven bottles, and am
feeling fine. l eat and sleep well, do
not cough at night, and am able to
perform a hard days work. I can
cheeTfully recommend Cooper's New
Discovery, for 1t has done wonders
for me-"

with remarkable success wherever
they are introduced. They are with

oils sent out 2,279,791 bushels and
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Galveston
and other prominent wheat shipping
ports look insignificant when their
records are compared with those Of
the Rose City, says the oregon Daily
Journal.
Comparative figures Of exports from
the United states were received this
morning by the collector OF customs
in the monthly report Of the depart
ment Of commerce and labor and they
indicate Portland's standing in the
field Of exports. The report shows
that during February the United
States exported S,OO2,SOO bushels of
wheat, and Of this quantity, Portland
shipped more than one-fourth.
Beats Combined Sound Shipments.
The combined shipments from Pu-
get sound are about equal to those
from the one city on the Willamette.
1t appears. however, that the statis-
ticians in the office Of the collector
Of customs on Puget sound have boil
stored their wheat figures a little
since they show approximately 600,-
900 bushels more than statistics fur
nished from other sources.
The statistics of the department Of
commerce and labor are compiled
from reports from the various coffee
tors of customs throughout the land
and when the report credits the COM
bined Puget sound ports with having
exported 2,626,4O4 bushels wheat dur
ing the month, whereas the Mer-
chants Exchange of this city main
tains that the sound ports exported
but 2,056,312 bushels, it appears as
II a serious blunder has been made
by the compilers. . The San Francis
co Commercial News, an Old publi-
cation, which among other things
makes a speciality Of keeping tab on
wheat shipments from Pacific coast
ports, concurs closely with the Mer-
chants Exchange figures. Half doz-
en- cargoes would be required to make
up the difference in the figures AMI
statistieians here are at loss to knew
how tAe figure jugg1ers of Puget
souny are going to account for them.
Even with the bolssered figures the
individual sound cities offer no com
palison with Portland in regard to
wheat shipments.
Ahead of Eastern Ports.
Portland's wheat exports were O.
of0,197 bushels to Europe. 1929

all agree 10 the single bushel
New York exported 1,179.316 BUSH

els afioat during the same period,
which goes to show that Portland ex-
ported more than New York and Phil
adelphla combined. Heretofore New
York led with Philadelphia close
second and Portland third, fourth or
fifth.
The report shows further that dur
ing the eight months ending Febru7
airy 29 there has been exported from
the United States S2,914,S15 bushels
of wheat and 9,SS2,446 barrels of

The face OF the old man was hid
den under his long eyelashes ana
long beard, which was thick and
white. His arms and his legs were
OF an extreme thinness, and his hands
and his feet had nails of an extreme
length.
On being addressed by Faride, the
old man attempted TO respond, but
with voice SO choked with his
beard that Faride could not under
stand his words. Faride took scissors
from his bag and cut the hair OF the
old man and his moustache and his
nails
And when the old man was relieved
Of these encumbrances he smiled and
spoke in a clear voice and said:
Il will help thee with my counsel
and my experience"
And Faride told him that he search

at his home in Nettleton on the 10th

He was a gallant soldier in the Confed-

to which hedevoted his life for 43 years
He was ever faithful to his trust. He
preached the gospel largely.at his OWL
expense. He was poor in this worlds
goods, but he was rich in faith. He
served churches that was also poor and
consequently his remuneration fo,' ser
vice was small, never having received
more thru 5000 a year for his service,
and often receiving less than $500 a
year.
