REMARKABLE DISSERTATIONS OF
sTAID MEMBERS OF BOTH
HOUSES.
(By E. E. Meredlth.)

CHARLESTON. Feb. 26.-The best
joke is based on fact. The jest which
appeals most is the one which states
a truth that could hardly be mention
ed were 1t not in the guise Of pleas
antry. 1t is so with the standing
jest in regard to how the members
of the legislature act when they are
in Charleston.
Men who walk the straight and
narrow path in some little town off
the railroad frequently find that
there are games to be played with
cards at Charleston which possess
attractiveness and tend to make the
time pass rapidly. Men who never
drink anything stronger than Per-
una in their home towns are often
seen drinking coca cola while the
legislature is in session and other
wise designating. Men who think
that 25c buys a meal good enough
for a king may be seen patronizing
Charleston restaurants where the
change from two dollar bill does
not make an unreasonable tip for
the waiter.
In past years the rapid gait of the
Legislative members has been a fire.
quent topic of conversation, but
their actions have not caused news
paper articles to be written. Some
how the correspondents were SO
httched up that they did not dare to
send the word out broadcast that
staid old men were giddy when they
reached tho capitol and that model
young men sometimes visited places
where white kittens ought never to
go.
The holiness of the legislators In
this regard makes further deception
impossible.
Only last Saturday night Senator
j. w. Santec, of Burton, and Senator
E. Baker, of Bramwell attended a
chicken and waffle supper at the
state street NJ. E. Church and SEEM
ed to enjoy the affair. On the same
night Zimrl C. Ammons, who is con-
sldered one of the best citizens OF
CassviIle, Monongalia county, took in
three moving picture shows with.

Bohemian life which the Legislators
are living while the extra session

GREAT RESULTS

COOPER ORGANIZATIONS FaoW-
ING observation-disclosures
INTERVIEWS PEOPLE.

T BOSTON. Feb 25. The most inter
esting feature of the enormous sale Of
the Cooper preparations. now going
on in this city, Is what the medicines
are actually accomplishing among the
people of Boston.
At the commencement of his visit
her Mr.. Cooper prophested that dur
ing the latter part OF his stay he
would receive hundreds of callers
daily who came simply to thank him
for what the preparations had done.
He also stated that stomach trouble
is the foundation for a great many dis
eases, and that his New Discovery, as
1t is called. would prove very effective
in all cases of rheumatism, simply BY
getting the stomach in working or
der.
That this prophecy has been full
filed cannot be doubted after half
hour spent at the young mans head
quarters. listening to what his callers
have to say.
A reporter who watched to ascer-
tain, If possible, some light on the
reasons for the immensely Of Cooper's
success. interviewed about twenty of
his callers yesterday afternoon. The
statements nrade hv those seeen indi-
cate that rh"sfcians who claim that
Cooper is merely passing fad. have
not looked into the facts.
Some of these statements were as
follows:
Mr.. Michael Frederick, living at
los Clifton street. North Cambridge.
Mass. was enthusiastic. He said: 81
have had a painful experience with
rheumatism and stomach trouble. The
rheumatism affected my knees and
feet, which at times were so painfully
swollen that / could not bear my
weight upon them, and caused me
great deal OF suffering. My stomach
was all out of order-poor appetite
and distress after meals. tried both
doctors and patent medicines, but
neither did me any good.
81 heard OF Cooper and his theory
on disease, and was persuaded to
test his claims. am well satisfied
with results, and believe Cooper has
the right idea, for after taking sew
eral bottles of his New Discovery med
lcine my stomach is in first-class con-
dItlon. and the rheumatism has almost
entirely disappeared. 1 now eat we'll
and experience no trouble whatever"
Another statement was made by f.
&. Clark, who lives at 400 Massachu-
sets avenue, Cambridge, Mass. Mr..
Clark said: "My wife has had sclatic
rheumatism for ten years. 1t became
so bad in one limb that she could not
be trusted alone on the street for fear
Of falling. 1t caused her great suffer
ing, and although she has tried nearly
everything. she was unable to obtain
permanent relief.
"she was persuaded to try the new
preparation introduced in Boston By
Mr.. Cooper and the first bottle gave
Immediate relief In all she has taken
four bottles and now feels perfectly
we'll She gives all the credit to the
Cooper medicines. certainly anpre-
ciatc the benefit my wife has derived |
from the use of these remedies, and
do not hesitate to recommend them to
people suffering from rheumatism"
other statements taken from those
who had previously tried the medi-
cines seem to prove that Cooper's sue
cess throughout the country is gen
ulne.

when the company did not respond

When the company did not respond -
as was the case in many instances -
1t was the duty of the district inspec.
tor Immediately to notify the chief.
1t then became the absolute duty OF
the chief at once to execute the law
as laid down in section 16, above quot
ed. This vigorous action would have
awakened in the operator respect for
the law and the department. Yet the
committee has not learned or been in
formed of single instance where
summary action has been taken, or
an attempt to enforce the provision
of law Just above quoted.
