PARASITES THAT SAP LIFE
EXPELLED BY NEW METHOD

The interest created in leading
cities during the past year by young
Mr.. Cooper with his new preparation,
is largely accounted for by peculiar
quality possessed by this medicine,
which he calls his New Discovery.
Mr.. Cooper believes that internal
parasites, or tapeworms. are respon-
sible for much i'll health. and it is an
undoubted fact that his medicine has
exnelled immense numbers of these
creatures in various cities visited by
him. The young man also believes
that stomach trouble Is the main
cause of all i'll health. He claims that
few can have poor health with a
good digestion. He further claims
that his New Discovery medicine does
nothing but tone up the stomach, yet
IT not only expels the parasites. but
relieves many other ailments not as
a rule associated with stomach
trouble.
Little Jessie Birdsall. daughter, OF
Mrs, Ida Birdsall. living at 213S Car
roll Avenue, Chicago, is among many
relieved of a large parasite by Mr.
Cooper's preparation during his stay
in that city, In speaking Of the mat
ter to Mr.. Cooper. the mother said:

wears old, has been suffering with this
trouble for over seven years. Until

which we know from experience is
natural both with individuals and
with nations Now there are some
people who would poke fun at this
feeling disparage it or even suggest its
suppression by forcible measures or
by demonstration. 1t is needless to
say this narrow minded and short
sighted view does not tend to pacify
or sooth the feeling. The effect is
just the opposite.

TALK OF SECOND PLACE
Continued from first page.

lutte neutrality as regards all candidates is being
scrupulously observed by Secretary Taft, so that
if the delegates to the Republican National Con-
vention look to Washington for their inspra-
ton they will fail to get it,
This reteration of the positions taken by the
President and Secretary Taft is due to the mis-
leading announcement that Secretary CortelXou
is the favorite of the administration. No one is
the favorite although several good men are ia
, vored.
Mr Loeb in declaring the attitude of the Pres
ident made it clear that the President not
dspleased with the Secretary of the Treasury
and that it apparent to Mr. Roosevelt that
Mr.. Cortelyou was in no way connected with the
reports If the President has a choice it has not
been made public in the slightest degree up to
this time, and there is reason to believe that
Mr.. Cortelyou would not be 5 acceptable to
the President and Secretary Taft any of the
other candidates thus far prominently men
toned.
Republican Congressman after conference
with the President to-day quoted him to this
effect: 1.-The President said yesterday that he
thought the convention should be permitted to
do a little work. He greatly amused at the
stories that he the whole shooting match
and that accounts for his remark He realizes
that If he attempted to name the Vice President

to him, the convention would have little excuse
for going into session

House that he for Secretary Cortelyou and
that he would use his influence to have the head
OF the Treasury Department nominated at Chi

not we will save him for some other time" Mr..
