On the 18th day of this month
| July 1909, Mr.. o. D. Berwick, OF
Bayou Sale, one of St. Mary's
most honored citizens, celebrated
his sixty-sixth birthday. The
celebration was had at his plan
tation home which has been in
the possession of his family for
much over half a century. With
Mr.. Berwick on his natal day
were his sons and daughters and
grandchildren: J. DUNCAN Ber-
wick, wife and three children;
Dudley Berwick and wife; j. War
rem Berwick, wife and child; DR..
David Berwick and wife; Walter
S. Berwick, wife and child; DR..
Edward G. Berwick, wife and
child; DR.. Ira Bowman, wife and
two children and Mr.. F. N. West,
wife and child. 1t must have been
a great consolation to him to know,
as he broke bread with them, that
his sons had followed his footsteps
in life, and had become prominent,
useful, honored and successful
citizens in which each of them
lived. The BANNER tenders to
Mr.. Berwick it's congratulations
and God-speed. May health and
happiness attend him, and may
the recurring years be many when
his children and his children's
children may gather around the
hearthstone of the old home with
him to bless, honor and love him.

PLANS FOR OUTDOOR SPORTS.
Y. NJ. c. A. Will Enjoy Games on
Land Donated by G. *. Holiday.

The Central Young Mems Christian
association physical department is
making extensive plans for out door
work this summer. An outdoor play
ground park Will be equipped at the
southeast corner of Sixth and Monroe
streets, where tennis courts, basket
and volley ball courts, shot putting,
jumping pits, fifty-yard dash, hort
zonta1 bar, parallel bars, rings, lock-
err, bath and dressing rooms, will be
maintained. This ground was used a
number of years ago by the associa-
ton and Mr. Chas. Holiday has gen.
erous1y offered them the use of 1t
for another season. The use of the
park will have to be limited to those
members of the Y. M. c. A. who pay
the special fee for outdoor work,
which, however, will be nominal.
In addition to this park league of
amateur baseball teams will be or
ganized to play Saturday afternoon
schedules. These teams will be of the
dub type and will give an opportunity
to a large number of has beenS" to
try out their glass arms and see
whether they can still locate the
sphere. A ground will be located and
necessary equipment arranged for by
the committees.

ment to be given in the auditorium

MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND
PEOPLE SEE COOPER DAILY

During L. T. Cooper's recent stay
in Boston, it is estimated that sixty
five thousand people talked with him
and purchased his medicine This is
an average of over two thousand a
day.
His success was SO phenomenal as
the public and the press. There must
son given in his own words by Mr..
Cooper when interviewed on the sub
ject. He said:
The immense numbers of people
who are calling on me here in Boston
is not unusual 1 have had the same
experience for the past two years
wherever I have gone The reason is
a simple one. 1t is because my medi-
cine puts the stomach in good condi-
ton. This does not sound unusual,
but it Is in fact the key to health. The
stomach is the very foundation of life.
I attribute 80 per cent of all sickness
directly to the stomach.
Neither animals nor men can re-
main we'll with a poor digestive appa
ratus. Few can be sick with diges-
ton in perfect condition. AS a matter
of fact, most men and women today
are half-sick. It is because too much
food and too little exercise have grad
ually forced the stomach into a half
sick condition. My medicine gets the
stomach back where it was, and that
is all that is necessary.
Among Boston people who are
stauneh believers in Mr.. Cooper's
theory, is Mr.. Frank D. Brown, of 81

DRURY STILL STANDS.
Famous Theater Not So Badly DAM
aged as First Reported.

London, March 25.-The fire which
early this morning was reported to
have practically destroyed Drury Lane
theater, one of the most famous play
houses of London, did not do so much
damage as was at first supposed. The
flames were first discovered about 4
o'clock in the morning, bursting from
the windows of the building. For a time
the theater was threatened with total
destruction. but the f1remen managed
to get the flames under control and the
caretakers succeeded in lowering the
f1reproof curtain. In this way the audi
forum was saved from being COM
pletely burned out. but as it is the
stage scenery and other properties are
a mass of ruins, the great glass dome
having fallen in, the auditorium is
somewhat damaged by smoke.
There was no loss of life. The thea
ter had been closed since the panto-
mime season ended. 1t would have been
opened April 49, The origin of the
fire is not known.
