MASTER EDWARD PEACH

Mr.. Joseph A. Peach, prominent
and we'll known farmer, living on
rural route No. 3, Owatonna, Mimi,
tells story of more than usual inter-
est. He says:
'Our little son, who is now five
years old, has been in failing health
for more than two years as result of
stomach trouble. We could find
nothing in the way of food that would
agree with him. He was weak and
delicate, and in spite of all we could
do, continued to decline. We had him
under the care of one doctor after
another, but they all failed to do him
any good. 1t looked as though we
would lose him in little while, for he
was rapidly getting worse.
Zone day I noticed an ADVERTISE
ment in our local paper in which was
a statement from party who claimed
to have been greatly benefited for
stomach trouble through the use of
Cooper's New Discovery. It i'm
pressed me as being sincere, and
decided to try the Cooper medicine.
went to Gausewitz & Christgan's drug
store in Owatonna and bought one
bottle.
Sin few days he began to improve,
and by the time he had taken the first

bottle we could notice a marked
change for the better. His stomach
became stronger and retained food;
his bowels were cleansed, and he de-
veloped a good appetite. His food
nourished him, and he grew stronger
daily. His sleep was sound, and he
soon showed signs of having more
life.
Il bought several more bottles. It
was glad sight to see him getting
we'll, after we had almost given him
up as hopeless. In two months time
he was as healthy and strong as any
boy, and romped and played as a
healthy boy should. His stomach
trouble has entirely disappeared, and
he can now eat anything without
suffering any bad effects from it.
"We feel that we owe our little boys
life to Cooper's New Discovery and
cannot say enough in its praise. I
make this statement out of gratitude
for the blessing this medicine has
brought to our home, and will gladly
verify it's truthfulness to anyone who
will write to me.''

The Politiken states that promi-
nent ship owner proposes that a pas
sage be constructed in opposition to

and ships also would avoid danger
os shadows along Skagen at the north
ern point Of Upland. This improve
ment would cost in the neighborhood
of 100000.
Denmark is carefully watching Swe-
denis negotiations with Germany and
Russia regarding maintaining status
quo in the Baltic sea. The matter has
also made an unfavorable impression
on England and it is believed that the
approaching visit of King Edward to
Copenhagen and Stockholm has much
to do with it. 1t is believed by many
that Sweden and Denmark, also Hol-
land and Belgium, will join in an en-
|
like that secured by Norway few
weeks ago.
There will be some hard times CON-
ing for the drunkards of Denmark if
the rigsdag passes the law, which has
been proposed, viz, that the authori-
ties should be allowed to make fine
Of from 2 to 500 crowns upon persons
caught intoxicated. or sentence them
to Imprisonment for thirty days It
is very possible, too. that the rigsdag
may pass such a law in the near fu-
ture judging from the temperance
wave which seems to have struck the
country during the past year.
The minister of agriculture has pro-
posed that the rigsdag make an ap-
preparation of 10000 crowns for check
ing the pests that are in measure
injuring the bee industry of Denmark.
During the past ten years the annual
income from the country's bee indus
try amounts to not less than 15,OOO,-
600 crowns annually and thus it will
be seen that it is mighty important
thing for the country to take care of.
