tFRoM NEW YORK WORLD APRIL l5, os
Fought Hard to Retain Formu-
la that Made Money
Court Decision Finally Gives Westerner Perma.
nent Right to Remarkable Medicine

l.. T. Cooper, who believes that
stomach trouble causes ninety per
cent. of the ill-health of the present
generation, has been in New York
fhree weeks. His claims are now ad
mitted by an astonishing number of
New Workers, and the young man is
winning ,new adherents every day.
Cooper stated Tuesday that fifty
thousand people in New York city
alone are now trying his medicine.
An hour spent at the young mans
headquarters where he lie meeting the
public, would indicate this statement
to be correct, judging from the num-
bers who call in that length of time.
In speaking of his success, recently,
Cooper said: l believed ten years
ago that any one who could produce
a formula that would regulate the
stomach would have fortune. When
| got hold of this formula / knew
within month / was right and my
fortune was made. l called the med
icine Cooper's New Discovery, al
though did not get up the formula.
| have owned it, however, for
three years. have had one lawsuit
over it, which l won in the Cincin-
patti courts. When it was settled
The Cooper Medicine Company, of
Dayton, Ohio, became the only COM
pany in the world that can prepare
the world that can prepare the medi
cine. The medicine has sold like
wildfire wherever introduced. /

Alaska,s Coal Fields.

A paragraph going the rounds of the
press quotes the United States Geo
logical Survey as authority for the
statment that tone fourth of Alaska
is coal field" This manifestly er-
roneous statment is probably founded
on an interview given out by Alfred H.
Brooks, the chief of the Alaskan divi-
sion of the Survey, on the subject Of
the coal resources of the Territory.
Mr.. Brooks statement was that about
one fourth of Alaska, or $50, 900
square miles, is, 30 far as its useful
and precious mineral resources are
concerned, practically an unexplored
region-an unopened book-and that
when the coal fields of the Territory
are fully explored they may prove to
be double the present known area.
Geologic and reconnaissance sur
veys have now been made of coal
areas in Alaska covering about $4,000
square miles. These areas include de-
posits ranging from Ignite aud low
grade of bituminous coal to the high
est grades of bituminous, coking, and
anthracite coal. Coal is, however,
known to exist in the comparatively
unexpiored regions of the Territory
estimated by Mr.. Brooks at approx
mately one quarter of its entire area,
and it may, as stated, be present in
commercially valuable deposits For
instance, the Cape Lisburne coal field i,
located in far northwestern Alaska,
has been only partially examined by
the government geologists. The coal
of this field is bituminous, ranging
from low to high grade, and the field
is believed to be the western end OF a
large coal area.

knew 1T would be just as successful in
New York as it was in the West.
That is why said, when l first ar
rived, that thousands would buy it
before left"
Statements obtained Tuesday from
number of Cooper's callers who
tried the medicine are very strong.
Among them Mr.. Oscar Danner, of 70
Nelson street, Brooklyn, was specially
emphatic. He said: 81 am a well
man after four years constant indi-
gestion and stomach trouble. Any
one who has ever had Indigestion
knows what this means. | don't
think anything about this Cooper
medicine-I know. l know it has
made life different thing for me.
don't believe Cooper ever had a more
skeptical man taking his medicine
than was when started, because
had tried everything on the face of
the globe trying to get relief. l ac-
tually refused to believe the medicine
was helping me the first few days.
had to admit it, however. Today
sleep like log, have fine appetite
and can eat anything. The medicine
relieved the cause of my. ill-health
almost at once"
Cooper's New Discovery is now on
sale at leading drug stores throughout
the United States. 1t has made won
derful record. For sale by G. R Fogg

A National Children's Bureau.

An association of philanthropic
American men and women have been
for some time seeking to get ma
tional bureau established by the
United States government to collect
information Oh conditions affecting
children in the United States. A bill
to establish a National Children's Bu-
reau was introduced in the United
States Senate in the winter of 1866
at the request of the National Child
Labor Committee. 1t did not come
to vote although it received the
hearty endorsement of President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hitchcock
OF the Department of the Interior as
well as of many members OF both
Houses of Congress. More recent re-
ports from various government de-
partments emphasize the need for a
bureau devoted specifically to the in
terests of the child. Such a bureau
should investigate and report upon
all matters pertaining to the welfare
of children and child life and would
especially investigate questions of in
FAINT mortality, the birth rate, physi-
cal degeneracy, orphanage, juvenile
delinquency and juvenile courts, de-
sertion and egitimacy, employment,
dangerous occupations, accidents and
diseases of children of the industrial
classes, legislation affecting children
in the several states and territories,
and such other facts as have a bear
ing upon the health, efficiency, char
acter and training of children.
The civilization of the present day
is probably more open to criticism for
its sinjustice toward the yonng than
on any other point. 1t is a lasting
reproach, and must subject us to the
scorn and contempt of future genera
tions, that we permit our little ones
to labor when they should be at play
and otherwise subject the young and
the absolutely defenseless to harsh
and cruel conditions. The bureau
asked for would serve to collect and
distribute information on the subject
and to systematic the movement for
justice to the young. 1t would seem
to be question with but one side
and one which every citizen of Maine
should support. The readers of the
REPORTER can make their influence
felt in the matter by writing the
Maine congressman and senators and
asking them to support the measure
when it next comes up for legislative
action.

One Ward Only Living.

Mrs. Clara B. Leavitt went to Sid
ney, Kennebec county, Tuesday, to
see Mrs. Nancy Glazier, now the only
living ward of the Woman's Relief
Corps Home Association. This or
ganization was founded by the
Women's Relief Corps, Department
OF Maine, something like twenty
years ago, and for ten or fifteen
years maintained a home for inflrm
soldiers, of the war of the Rebellion,
or the members of their families. 1t
was retreat where an aged soldier,
with his wife, or children if need be,
could be admitted and cared for, and
was also open to army nurses of the
war of 1915. Beside the women of
the Relief Corps, there were inte-
rested in the association such men as
Major Shorey of Bridgton, Captain
Wainwright Cushing of Foxcroft and
the late George B. Stafford of this
place.
There was quite movement at one
time, when the association was first
organized, to locate this home here,
but it was finally established at New
port. The inmates numbered sixteen
or eighteen at one time but in the
natural course of events their number
grew less and it was finally thought
best to dispose of the home and take
care of the few remaining inmates
elsewhere. Mrs. Leavitt was ap-
pointed a committee to see that the
former residents of lthe home were
properly maintained and her visit to
Sidney on Tuesday was to see that
the one dependent on the association
is receiving suitable care.

Keith's Boston Theater .

OF all the legitimate stars that have
come into vaudeville, none has attain
ed greater popularity than Zelie de
Tuscan, the grand opera prima donna,
who will be the leading attraction
at Keith's Theatre the week of
November 9Th. Miss de Tuscan is
particularly popular in Boston, where
she will long be remembered as the
most noted member Of the famous
Boston "Ideal Opera Company" "
This was during the first years of her
career as a singer, before she became
known the country over as the best
Interpreter of "Carmen," that Ameri-
ca has ever had. In vaudeville she
has been particularly fortunate in
the selection of her program, for
while she still keeps to the high
standard which has won her reputa-
tion, she has at the same time that
pleasing personality which immedi-
ately wins an audience, and the re-
suit ia one of the most enjoyable
numbers that vaudeville has ever
had.
