Rich Mems Sons.

A considerable proportion of O'lr captains of industry" who in their youth had to work hard for a living. seem to want to spare their sons the struggles they themselves underwent. They seem to forget that it was these rigors and hardships and privations that made them the men they are. The thews and sinews of mems souls. like the muscles of their bodies, are made strong by exercise, and in the hard and exigent school of unremit- ting toll and poverty the fathers learned the most valuable lessons of their lives.
 A man who got up at and did the chores on the farm by the first streaks of daylight lets his son lie abed till there is barely time to gulp his predigested breakfast food and get to school. The indulgent parent who, in his own youth, walked bare footed for three miles to the little red schoolhouse at the crossroads. sends the automobile or the crested carriage half a dozen blocks to con vey his offspring home in otiose magnificence. The father was lucky if it didn't snow through the roof of his attic room in winter time; the boy, with servants at his beck and call, has only to press a button to have things happen for his ease and comfort

l.. T. Cooper, who believes tbat stomach trouble causes ninety per cent of the i'll health of the present generation, has been in New York three 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 is 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: T believed ten years ago that any one who could produce a formula that would regulate the stomach would have a fortune. When I got hold of this formula I knew within a month I was right and my fortune was made. I called the medi- cine Cooper's New Discovery, although l did not get up the formula. I have owned it, however, for several years. I have had one law suit over it, which l won in the Cincinnati courts. When it was settled The Cooper Medicine Company of Dayton, Ohio, became the only company in the world that can prepare the medicine. The medicine has sold like wildfire wherever intro-

EMPTY HOUSES
 IN LONDON

Fifty thousand empty houses in London, Mir. John Burns made this stratling announcement in the house of commons recently. Large as this number is, there are those who believe it is under rather than over the mrak A remarkable change has taken place during the last five or six years. Whereas formerly landlords were mas ters of the situation, tenants have now the whip-hand in nearly every district, an dhave all manner of inducements to take houses. ~
 It is not long since that a premium or what amounts to the same thing, "key money''-was demanded by prop erty owners in some parts of London Today numbers of such men will actu-- ally allow tenants a discount, which consists. in the case of small property. of the expenses of removal up to e1. or else of so many weeks occupation free. Usually no rent is required for the first fortnight, but in certain To- calities the competition between prop erty owners is so keen that the period in some cases is one month, making the discount about e2 2s. or @ 5s.
 A more curious bait is free insur- ance. One company gratuitOusly in- sures each of its tenants against fire, while another, besides safeguarding the householder against this contin- gency relieves him of apprehension respecting any damage to his furni- ture by. lightning or flood

WOMEN AND HOME.
Census Figures on the Abandonment
 of Domestic Life.

One woman in five in the United States has abandoned the domestic life and has become a wage earner. Even this does not accurately state the situ- ation. In country districts only two women out of every eleven are at work, but in cities, that is, wherever indus trial opportunities are present, two women out of every seven are at work nearly third of the total woman population. How far the father of the family has ceased to be the sole sup porter thereof is shown in the statis- tics gathered in twenty-seven cities and tabulated by the census bureau. The total number of women at work in the twenty-seven cities is 904,695. Of these 173O0O are boarding or living in the families of their employers. The re-, maining 731,665 are described as fol- lows:

 Out of 731.665 women at work 9S.S61 are supporting the family, and between .21S,415 and 532, S04 are contributing to the family income. Remember that these are city workers and represent nearly one third of all the women in those cities.
