SHE WINS APPLAUSE.
Duchess of Marlborough Speaks at
Dinner in New York.

New York April 1.-The Duchess OF
Marlborough formerly Miss Consuelo
Vanderbilt, was one of the most ap-
plauded speakers at the dinner in
honor of Mrs. Humphrey Ward, given
In New York last night by the Play
ground Association of America. In
part the duchess said:
Having had the opportunity OF COM
ing into touch with the public work
being done by women in England,
hoped I might be able to sound note
: of encouragement to my own country
women, who are devoting their lives to
lettering the social condition of the
poor in this city. In England, as you
know, the influence of women has per-
n1eated every field of human endeavor,
political and philanthropic, no less
than social and artistic.
THE results appear in the really
splendid achievements Of associations
formed to guard ard help girls whn
toll In factories and shops; to provide
employment for the wives of convicted
criminals; to care for the fatherless
and orphans, and to make Fairgrounds
for little children.
And here I can mention private
venture which will commend itself to
this association. 1t is for the owners
of land near the village school to lend
or give the school a number of acres
where the children can have their own
plots and are taught gardening under
school supervision. can personally
testify to the success of this under
taking.
Prom their earliest childhood, Eng
lish women are made to feel the oblga-
tions of individual responsibility and
society demands an adequate fulfill
ment. 1t is this sense of obligation that
/ venture to think we American women
should foster and develop. Here there
are of course, no customary obl1ga-
tions. But does not the mere privilege
of citizenship in a republic such as TINS,
involve personal responsibility -sno
place it on far higher plane? That
every citizen owes to the mother state
In such ratio as his influence, his IN
telligence, and his capacity to help GER
tify is a very old maxim, but one
not always brought into the sphere OF
enterprise. :.
rs it not possible for the women CIT
liens of this great republic TO recos-
uize that personal obligation on It's
ethical lines and to turn it to account
in practical works?
"The amenoration of the social and
educational conditions under whlch
the children of the big citles are oeins
brought up Is in truth, worthy pegin-
ming. Surely this is womans WORK
surely woman's duty.
And I should like. in passing, TO pay
a tribute to the executive capaplnty oi
the American woman. One cannot pus
admire the way they manage theiI

stitutions.

RETIRED BUSINESS MAN is
in FAVOR OF NEW THEORY

One of the most interesting state
<nents made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory, that
has spread over the country during the
past year, is made by E. H. Lambert,
retired business man, whose home is
At 115 Francis street, Everett, Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this to say in con-
nection with Cooper and his medi-
cines: Some time ago I read an ar
ttcle 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 get the stom-
ach 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.
''I am now fully convinced that this
theory is correct, and believe cooper
has really remarkable medicine,
Judging from my own experience.

Il have been sick man for five
years. Three years ago 1 was told by
a physician that + had Bright's dis
ease of the kidneys. 1 have treated
constantly for this trouble since, with
out results. After reading the article
I have mentioned, 1 purchased some
of this man Cooper's medicine. 1 have
been astounded by what it has done
for me. I was relieved to some extent
within "a hours. Today my health is
better than for five years, and SO far
as 1 can tell. my kidney trouble has
disappeared.
MY wife, who had stomach trouble
for some time, tried the preparation
after noting it's action in my case, and
her Improvement Is fully as marked as
mine. She now eats heartily three
times day without any distress what
soever. Her nervousness has also left
her. certainly believe this mans sue
cess is fully justified, as he undoubted-

We will gladly describe the remark

cines to all who wish to know of them.
