SUGAR TRUST SUED
BY THE GOVERNMENT
Seven Suits Filed Charging Short
Weight on Sugar I'M
pOrtatiOnS.

NEW YORK. Nov. 7.-Seven suits
were nled against the American Sugar
Refining Company by the Government
charging short-weight on sugar impor-
tatfons from Cuba and Java between
December /, 1901. and November q, 1901
The Government demands forfeiture
value of the entire Importation as pro-
vided in code OF penalties for fraud.
Denials are made by the trust, but the
charges plainly state that through the
use of a little instrument or Joker,
the scales were made to report much
less than actual weight
There is no statute Of limitation IN
the matter Of collection OF duties. hence
this plea can not be entered by the
trust.
As a result of the action, the price
of the shares Of the Sugar trust broke
2IL points yesterday afternoon and Is
weak this morning.
There are seven scales in use on the
docks at williamsburg where the con
signments Of raw sugar are received,
and 1t was through the merest accident
that the Joker was discovered.

Cork. and Common ssn.s.

A wise woman sat watching her
daughters efforts to remove a cork
(not glass stopper from a bottle.
Seeing that the cork was about to
break, she quietly took the matter into
her own hands and, with. gentle
touch or two. soon had the bottle
ready for use.
you did not know the law of corks,"
she said, smiling ut the girls astonish-
ment. do you now realize that when
a cork is put into. a bottle the fingers
twist in the same direction as screw
Is turned and at the same time push 1t
home? This causes the fbers of the
part of the cork in the bottle neck to
twist and contract and squeeze them
selves spirally into n smaller space
When the cork must come out, to turn
1t in the opposite direction untwists
and expands it and makes it hard to
move. If you would be successful,
just turn the cork in exactly the same
direction as you did at first This
contracts it still farther. and it is then
an easy matter to lift it out. If the
cork should be held by any sticky mix
ture, it can easily be foosened by
plunging the bottle head first in hot
water. This melts the gluelike sub.
stance, and little gentle lingering
will set the cork free, to be turned Us

The new theory advanced by l.. T.
Cooper relative to the human stomac CHI
has attracted such widespread atten-
ton that the public in cities visited
by the young man has been joined by
many physicians in discussion of his
beliefs and medicines.
Mr.. Cooper says that human health
is dependent almost entirely upon the
stomach. He says that no disease can
be conquered without first alternating
all stomach disorders. He further says
that most men and women of this gen.
Grafton are half sick, owing to degen-
crate stomachs. And lastly, he claims,
that his New Discovery medicine will

Cooper has been travelling from one
city to another, conducting in each

For the past year he has met the pub

Thousands of people have focked to
his headquarters wherever he has gone
and the sale of his medicine has becp
beyond anything of the kind ever BE-
fore Witnessed.
Possibly the most interesting fea
ture of the attention this young man
has attracted is what his army Of
