One of the most interesting state
ments made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory that
has spread over the country during the
past year, is made by E. II. Lambert,
a retired business man, whose home is
at lis Francis street, Everett, Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this to say in con-
rection with Cooper and his medi
cines: Some time ago read an ar
ticle about this man Cooper, in which
he claimed that stomach trouble was
directly responsible for most i'll health.
He went on to say that, although
his medicine did nothing but to get
the stomach in sound condition, it
would, in many cases. remove kidney
and liver trouble and various other
ailments. He argued from this that
the stomach was the main cause of
sickness, and stated that the success
he has had with his medicines was
due entirely to- this fact.
II am now fully convinced that this
theory is correct, and believe Cooper
has really remarkable medicine,
Judging from my own experience.
II have been a sick man for five

The test was directed by naval off,

Whitehead torpedoes was regarded as
sufficient demonstration of their util-
ity. The result was applauded by the
officers.
One Of the torpedo nets which are
being made for the navy was taken to

When the net was examined it was
declared to be powerful enough to re-

Good Positions For Young Women
Who Won't Fall In Love.
Frank r White of the government
public school service in the Philippines
has come to the United States on a
peculiar mission. Mr. White is in
Washington to gather together about
$50 men and women who are willing
to go to the Philippines to become
teachers. He had conference recent
ly with the officials of the insular bu-
reau Mt the war department and will
have interviews with the civil service
commission in regard to selecting per-
sons who are willing to teach.
One POPULARITY about his mission Is
that Mr.. White wants teachers who
VIII teach the Filipinos and who will
not fall in love with young army Of
ficers and government employees in the
islands. The position of teachers pays
from 5000 to $1,000 per annum, and
Mr.. White is DESTROYS of taking a ma
Jority of young men If he can get them.
Mr.. White has been in the school serv-
Ice in the Philippines for over six
years. He went to the islands from
Nebraska and has made q success of
his work IN the islands.
When he gathers together $50 teach
ers he will personally conduct the
party to the islands and install them
ia their positions. He considers the
male teacher more reliable from the
standpoint of the matrimonial risk than
the female teachers. but he is willing
to try the young ladies and hopes to
have full cargo of both sexes ready
to sail in few weeks.

Not much time for play.

And the planting day;

From the earth so numb;

Ere the Maytime come.
Calls the sun up earlier,
Puts him hard at work.
Every sunbeam Is astir-

Keeps him working later, too.
In the twilight hours,
For there's such a lot to do
For the coming flowers.
Has to fold up all the wraps
Winters left around;
Cage the vagrant. chilly snaps ! -
That would freeze the ground: i
Has to wake up all the trees.
Start the leaves along;
Get up breakfast for the bees
Pretty hungry throng!
Make things ready for the birds,

Must be sprouting forth.

Worker far and near
Must have ready all her best
