HEALTH OF ANIMALS BEST
BECAUSE OF GOOD DIGESTION

An interesting interview was re-
Gently obtained with l.. t. Cooper, the
young man whose theory and medi-
cines have created such a sensation
during the past year.
Mr.. Cooper, in speaking of the re-
markable success of his medicine, had
this to say on the subject: MY medi-
cine regulates the stomach. That is
why it is successful. The human stom-
ach today has become degenerate, and
is the cause for most i'll health. In
the horse, the dog, and the wild ami
mails generally, you see no nerve ex-
haustion, no chronic debility. They
are not shut up day after day with
practically no exercise, and they are
not able to stuff themselves with food
when their bodies have not had enough
work to justify it. The human race
has been doing this for years. and
look at the result-half the people are
complaining of poor health, not real
illness-just a half-sick, tired, droopy
feeling. They don't really know what
is the matter with them.
Il know that all the trouble is
caused by weak, overworked stor-
achs. ! have proved this with NV
medicine to many thousands of peo-
PIE in most of the leading cities of
this country. expect to do the same
thing in Europe next year. This is
the real reason for the demand for
my preparation"

been converted to .Cooper's theory Is

Calumet Baking Powder received
she highest award at the Worlds
Pure Food Exposition held in Chi
tago, November, 1907. This is quite
compliment, considering that 1t had
to be better in Purity and Qualify
than any Of the other brands.
The great progress That the Calumet
Baking Powder Co. has made in the
past twenty years is due 10 the fact
that they are the only manufacturers in
the world that put out Il strictly high
grade baking powder at moderate
price. This, together with the fact that
the Calumet Baking Powder Co. is in
no way affiliated with the Trust, has
won for II millions ef friends ana
patrons.
Wholesomeness and price are the
Two first essentials ia food product.
The very fact that it received this
highest award will settle forever 10
the minds Of The public the purity
question.
That it retails for Is cents per
pound, or about one half the price OF
the Trust brands, is positive proof
that the price Is right.

Tears for the blood that they had to
shed.
sighs for the Ills that they had to share;
Love for their hope when hope had fed
From the weak who covered In pale de-
spair-
Fame. but not for the shame of those
Who fell Tor cause that was better
lost.
Cheers for their love Of the gallant foes
Whose bayonets by their own we're
crossed:
Love for the grace that the hero shows
TO the vanquished foe who has paid the
cost.
laurel wreath for each good gray head,
Cheers for the heroes marching by;
Tears for the blood that they had to shed,
For each Of the ills that they bore

Love FOR their faith when the streams ran
red
And despair was written across the sky.

Memorial Day.

No pages of nations history are
more interesting to its people than
those which record the brave deeds of
its soldiery and no nation on the face
OF the earth has established so beau
tiful a custom as shat which is con-
templated by Memorial day, the strew-
ing of spring flowers over the graves
of her departed soldiers.
May the full meaning of the day
come to us with all its solemnity and
all its beauty, and with the patriotic
lesson it presents.
