COOPER'S FOLLOWERS GIVE
REASON FOR THEIR BELIEF

With a theory that human health is
dependent on the stomach and with a
medicine which he says proves this
theory. L. T Cooper. a comparatively
young man, has built up an immense
following during the past year.
Cooper has visited most of the lead
ing cities of the country, and in each
city has aroused a storm of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens or thousands,
and his preparations has sold in i'm
mense quantities.
The sale OF this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and is
growing enormously each day. In view
of this. the following statements from
two of the great number of followers
which he now has. are of general in
terest
Mrs. Agnes Viggenhouser. of 942 St.
Louis Avenue, Chicago, has the fol-
lowing to say on the subject of the
Cooper preparations: For more than
ten years I was broken down in
health I could not sleep and I was
very nervous. Gradually I began to
lose my memory, until could not re-
member things from one day to an
other 1 had severe pains and cramps
in my body, and would at times see
dark spots before my eyes. I was un-
able to do any work whatever as my
strength was failing. I had no appe-

plank which he proposes for the plat
form has the full approval of the emf
grafton committee appointed by con-
greSS.
L. A. Coolidge, assistant secretary OF
the treasury, has arrived here and
popular report at once accredited him
with being here in the interest of the
Cortelyou vice presidential boom. He
denied this but said with a laugh that
ne would not do anything against Cor

have charge of the Foraker head
quarters during the convention, has
arrived to take active charge of the
fight in behalf of the Ohio senator. He
said:
Senator Foraker is a candidate for
the presidency and will continue as
such until he or some other man is
nominated. We are preparing to open
ten rooms here and if we believed that
the senator's name would be with
drawn, do you suppose that all this
money would be wasted for a lot of
rooms that are not needed? Well, not
by us.
There's another thing. we are not
mollycoddles, and do not have to be
dictated to or told what to do. Our
state can do that without outside in
reference. The allies are not down
and out and will not be until the
nominee is named"

The resolution in its present form
provides for the maintenance of the
present immigration law, which is
sufficient to bar out such undesirable
immigrants as diseased and incapable

that congress should enact a law Civ

Frisco for Courtesy to All Its
Patrons.
A Circular Issued by Officials
TO Employees.
POLITENESS HELPS.
Systems Are Known by Those
- Who Do Their Work.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

The advice contained in a circular
to Frisco employees which was sent
out by Leroy Kramer, Frisco divis-
lon superintendent, to the employees
of the Kansas division applies to en-
ployes of all public service, corpora
tons and. in fact, to all lines of bust
ness. The circular says in part:
One of the first and most irritating
problems confronting public service
corporations is that of securing cour-
teous employees who will make
friends and not enemies of those
with whom business is done. The
surly, boorish and hot-tempered en-
ploye is not only a rule a poor
employe, but he a positive detriment
to the company that hires him. On
the other hand a man or woman rep
resenting a company increases in val
ue as he or she smooths the rough
places of business impression instead
of a client or customer inf1amed with
anger and resentment.
In a highly complex and technical
business such that of the railroad
there are many things that you, with
your training and daily experience,
understand with perfect familiarity,
but which the public do not under
stand; therefore do not assume that
the public should comprehend them
without asking questions, but when
they make inquiry of you give
them the courtesy of a reply just as
full and clear as you can make it. and
without any suggestion of superioricS
born of a greater knowledge.
Words are only the means of ex-
preston and manner is quite as i'm
portant; therefore remember that
kindly and gracious manner is not
only the sign and mark, but is to
words what oil is to machinery in
making them move effectively to their
purpose
Every employee who comes in con-
tact with the public should realize
that no matter what his own irrita-
lions may be, courteous attitude to-
ward others is an actual and positive
asset that will do much toward in
creasing his efficiency.

Of THE HOUSE
With Congress Again Safely
Republican and Under Thor
ough Control He Defends Its
DespOtic Rules.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Discus-
sion is rife among Republicans of
Washington anent the fiery utterances
of the speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives at a banquet in the Union
League at Philadelphia.
Comparing his situation as speaker
Of the house of representatives to
that of "a cat in hell without claws"
Joseph G.. Cannon delivered a remark
able address and took occasion sharp
ly to rap some of his opponents be-
fore the New Jersey Society of
Pennsylvania, which held its second
annual dinner last night. Bes'de the
address Of Speaker Cannon speeches
were made by Senator Boles Penrose
and Mayor Reyburn and Vice Presi-
dent-elect Sherman.
Aside from Cannon's fiery speech
the feature CT the evening was the
gentle sarcasm directed at President
Roosevelt by the incoming vice pres

Congressman J. Hampton Moore about
the Aananias club Mr.. Sherman said:

Speaker Cannon told the diners Of

last the majority claimed its right to

denounced as a tyrant, and as unfair
to the best interests of the people"
In the course of his brief talk Vice

from Mr.. Cannon and Mr. Sherman.

retired from the ring Bill Squires,
who thrice has been defeated by
Burns, challenged the winner. Burns
weighed in at 1853 pounds and John

four on Burns at the start, but it
changed in a few rounds to two to
one on Johnson.
The sporting element of the town
last night was on the quie-vie as to
the result of the Burns-Johnson bout
in Australia yesterday. The fact that
johnson is a darby and that the fight
took place on foreign soil in a measure
accounts for the intense interest taken
in the outcome. Burns was a prime
favorite in the betting by reason of his
past excellent record in the fighting
arena He has proved himself in in
Vulnerable fights a consumate ring gen
eral, and he was even picked by many
followers of the game as likely ma

he has been accused of having a tend
