With a theory that human health is
dependent on the stomach and with a
medicine which he says proves this
theory, L. T. Cooper, a comparatively
young man. has built up an immense
following during the past year.
Cooper has visited most Of the lead
ing cities of the country. and in each
city has aroused a storm of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone. people have
called upon him by tens of thousands,
and his preparation has sold in i'm
mense quantities.
The sale of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and is
growing enormously each day. In
view of this, the following statements
from two of the great number OF
followers which he now has, are of
general interest.
Mrs. Agnes ViggenhouScr, of 942 st.
Louis Avenue, Chicago, has the fol-
lowing to say on the subject of the
Cooper preparations: For more than
ten years | was broken down in health.
l could not sleep and l was very ner-

One of the provision dealers had a
check yesterday which presented an
appearance quite different from the
ordinary paper of that kind. and
looked as if some one had been trying
a series of rubber stamps upon 1t,
And the experience which it had been
through was in keeping with Its APP
poarance. The check was drawn by a
United states official and by him paid
to a man living about a dozen miles
from Augusta. This man paid the
check to an Augusta city official, en-
dorsing it in lead pencil. which. by the
way, is said by d decision of the United
States supreme court to be legal, and
the official in turn paid it to the grocer
aforementioned. That gentleman de-
posited it at one of the city banks and
later the check was sent to a bank in
Portland. Eut that was not all. The
Portland bank people refused to accept
if on the ground that it was endorsed
with a lead pencil. and sent it back to
the Augusta bank. From there it went
back to the grocer, then to the city
official. and the joke. if there was any

RULES FOR GOOD DIGESTION.
A Simple Way to Prevent and Cure
Stomach Trouble.

People do not want advice as to their
bad habits. but something that will
enable them to continue with i'm
munity.
The sufferer from indigestion and
stomach weakness does not want a
friend to say: Eat slowly and chew
your food thoroughly"
AS the majority of people have
already so abused the delicate stomach
that they suffer with distress after
eating, fatulence, headaches. coated
tongue, spots before the eyes and the
many other symptoms of Indigestion, it
is necessary for them to use Mi-o-na.
the only remedy that will strengthen
the muscular walls of the stomach and
increase the flow of gastric juices so
that indigestion will be cured.
Mi-o-na is not a mere aid to diges-
ton taken after meals, but tablet be-
fore meals, putting the whole digestive
system in such shape that it can care
for all the food that is eaten without
pain or distress.
In this way the digestive organs are
built up SO that they are soon able TO
take care of the food without any
artificial aid, and the use of medicine
can be discontinued
Bowditch, Webster & Co. give an
absolute guarantee with every 50-cent
box to refund the money unless
Mi-o-na does all that is claimed for it.
A guarantee like this must inspire your
confidence in the remedy

Madison, Me, Feb, 1S,-The subjects
for discussion at the Board of Trade

II. c. Prince, chairman Of the commit
tee on electric lights and telephones.
stated that Supt Adams decided to
give the financial standing Of the an
nual report soon to appear, except to
state, that the plant is on a paying
basis. Mr.. Prince stated that during
the past year 1222S new lights had
been installed, that the plant and
transmission lines had been put in a
serviceablc condition. and the outlook
was bright for the coming year. This
was followed by an informal discus
sion as to what was meant by pay
ing basis by W. G. Sawyer, c. S.
Humphreys and w. +. Scott, who also
advocated rise in the present rates.
Next came the reading of letter form
