WAR
ON PARASITES
Enemies of Mankind.
That Undermine HeaIth-A
Prophecy Verified.

NEW YORK, April 29.-Probably
the most unusual feature of the ex-
citement that has been created by L..
n. Cooper's visit to this city is the re-
moval OF a parasite or tapeworm by
his preparations.
During the early part of Coopcr's
stay in New York, individuals who
were taking his New Discovery" as
It is called, brought either to himself
or to physicians throughout the city
immense parasites that had left the
system after using the medicine.
Many of these people were fright
ened, and cases Of this sort become so
numerous that Cooper finally made
the following statement for publica-
ton:
He said: I'm every city visit
these things are brought to me with
in a few days after my medicine is
sold in the city. They are what Is
known as the tapeworm, and grow 20
enormous size.
Few, indeed, realize how prevalent
these creatures are. think / have
been the first to demonstrate what a
large factor they are in the poor
health of this generation. 1 believe
that fully one half of the chronic
stomach trouble that is so universal
is caused by these parasites.
individuals may have them for
years and not be aware of the reason
for continued ill-health, but attrib-
ute 1t to many different diseases,
when in reality one OF these creatures
is robbing them of their vitality.
"These parasites are taken into the
system is uncooked food or rare meat
in the form of an egg, which matches
almost Immediately. People suffer-
ing from them experience feeling of
lassitude and are extremely nervous
The action of the New Discovery
seems to be fatal to these great
worms, and in most cases few
doses of the medicine drives the crea-
lures from the system. / will have
hundreds of them brought to me be-
fore leave the city,
This grewsome prophecy has been
amply verified. for not only hundreds
but thousands of New York and
Brookly people Rave been relieved of
one of these fearful parasites since
taking Cooper's preparations, and the
entire city has been aroused by the
fact.
Some OF the parasites are of such
enormous size as to startle the mag
nation. The statement of Thomas
McNulty. a city employe. living at
us Thirty-ninth street South Brook
Ign, veriiies this. His statement
among others given to a reporter, was
as follows:

about this matter. Why should L?

1t is claimed now that Delegate C.
NJ. Wetzel was turned down by the
Democrats of Jefferson county for re-
nomination because he voted to sub
init the prohibition amendment. AS
Wetzel has been prominently men
toned as Democratic candidate for
governor and was the Democratic
floor leader. 1t may be stated posi-
lively that there are good many
Democrats Who do not propose to let
the prohibition question interfere
with their party business, though that
party may in a hypocrltical manner

ExpERT TEsTIMoNY.

The insanity cases of Harry Thaw
and Chester Thompson show conclu-
sively the absolute unreliability OF
the so-called expert evidence. Both
of these prisoners were convicted OF
murder and escaped the gallows on
the plea OF insanity. They are CON
fined In Warehouses for the Grimm
ally insane on the sworn statements
OF experts In the medical profession
who receive big fees for giving the
testimony desired BY their employers
The members OF the medical profes.
sion are noted for being stleklers on
professional etiquette and high
code Of honor, but too often the big
fees In such cases as the above count
for more than the unwritten code.
In murder cases the defendant can
secure expert testimony that he Is
insane and the state can purchase
testimony 70 the effect that he Is not
insane, which makes farce of such
evidence and causes loss Of con-
fidenee IN the justice of the courts.
II IL another illustration OF the power
OF money IN this commercial age,
Many men are willing to sell their
professional honor n You only have
the price. This condition Is not con-
fined 70 the medical profession alone,
but permeates other professions and
ealllngs TO a greater or less extent,
The Thaw and Thompson cases serve
only to call attention to the condi-
ton,

BoRAH FOR COMMITTEEMAN.
Report Says Hepburn Is Not Candi-
date for National Position.

Report Says Hepburn Is Not Candi-
date for National Position.
WALLACE. Idaho, May 23.-The
Evening Press. Senator Heyburn's
personal organ, says editorially:
Senator Hepburn will not be a
candidate for reelection as national
committeeman from Idaho. His sue
cessor will be chosen at Chicago by
the Idaho delegates to the national
convention. When they come to
make selection they will be informed
by Hepburn that he does not desire
recollection. Hepburn says he is in
favor of the selection of Senator Bor-
all, and Borah Is willing to accept. :"
The announcement created no sur
prise, as the delegation to the repub-
lican convention. which was elected
at the recent Wallace convention, was
known to be friendly to Senator Bor-
ah, and it was regarded at the time
as a foregone conclusion that Borah
would succeed Hepburn as national
committeeman.

MACHINE METHODS.

The political finger in this state
points to a confirmation OF the state
ments published in the Press last
Monday to the effect that a consplr-
acy existed 10 retire Senator Hey
burn to private life. The senator
has had his ear to the earth and has,
as will be seen from an item publish
cd In another column, announced
that he will not seek TO be reelected
national committeeman. The con-
spiracy to retire him developed at
the Wallace convention and we do
not believe the senator Is the man
to quietly submit to decapitation I'M
less he intends to voluntarily retire
from politics, because he IL a deter
mined fighter, and, under the cir
cumstances we fall to understand
HIS reported statement. To com
promise with the Brady-o Neil Borah
machine means that he will be job
bed, therefore HIS only hope is to
make a stand on his record as the
ablest senator the Pacific Coast has
In congress. He has made many
friends and admirers by his evident
sincerity and Independence of action
in the interest OF the people and
these Will not look with favor upon
the efforts of the machine to retire
him. II the next legislature Is re-
publican we believe the Press ex-
presses the wish OF most people re-
gardless OF party in the statement
that he should be returned to the
senate. Senator Hepburn is not a
machine politician. but stands for
clean politics and Is an honorable
foeman in a political tight.

coIN MOTTO Is REsToRED.
Now Has Authority Of Law for First
Time.

BY act Of congress there is now,
for the first time, specific warrant
for stamping the motto I'm God We
Trust" on the gold and silver coins
OF the United States. In 1864 con-
gress gave general authority for such
devices on the coins as should be
fixed by the director Of the mint with
the approval OF the secretary of the
treasury. This was only a permits
sive authority, and while under 1t
the motto lin God We Trust" was
ordered on the coins by Secretary
Salmon p. Chase, there can be no
doubt that President Roosevelt, when
he issued his order for the abandon
ment of the motto. sincerely be-
lieyed 1t was unwarranted and was
conscientiousIy actuated by the high
est motives OF reverence.
Though many persons believe that
the Importance of the removal of
the inscription was greatly exagger-
ated, its restoration by congress will
be widely approved, The agitation
which followed the presidents action
showed there was a large consensus
of opinion that motto that was in
spired by faithful people at criti-
cal time in the country's history
should be retained when the repub-
lie needs every possible inspiration to
right action in facing present prob
lens
Now that the matter Is definitely
settled 1t Is hoped the general effect
will be in accord with the views of
those who have earnestly advocated
the use of the motto. BY some per-
sons 1t may still be treated as
subject for jest, phase of the ques-
ton to which President Roosevelt
called attention; by large numbers
the existence of the motto will be
entirely ignored. Its presence on the
coins, however, is pleasing to a
great proportion OF the people, as
giving tangible demonstration that
that this is a reverent country

It Is plain that many people are hop

which Ii prepared for their ravages
by various excuses and indiscretlons.
The doctor insists that the hardening
Of the arteries, which Is an alarming
symptom OF aging, Is due to overwork-
ing the heart and the arteries. The
hardening results not so much from
the kind Of food eaten. but from the
lnordlnate amount of certain kinds and
from the overstImulation due to gen
nral habits OF life as well as habits Of
dieting. When the heart and arteries
work too fast the arteries are strained
and injured. Then the whole system
Ia affected and the microbes Of dis
ease have their chance to Outright the
microbes Of health. The Berlin mans
advice Is to avoid high tension. whether
In work or pleasure, to do all things In
moderation and keep the circulation Of
the blood normal. In this way health
can be preserved, and. although the
system must get old, according to the
arbitrary standard, It will remain ac-

age Is just as good as any other age.
