CHICAGO RESIDENT RELATES
 MOST GREWS0ME EXPERIENCE

During L. T. Coopers recent visit 10 Chicago. where his new prepara- tion and theory created the usual sen- sation. many hundreds of people brought enormous internal parasites to the young man. which had left the system after taking his medicine. Among these people was Mir. Emil Winkler. who brought to Cooper tapeworm that proved to be over ninety feet in length. Mir. winkler. who resides at 1S2 East Ohio street, Chicago, had this to say of his expe- rjence: "For five years have been more or less complaining. have had severe headaches. and any food that would eat would nauseate me. I would have bad dreams almost every night; dizzy spells would compel me to quit work. Black spots would ap- pear before my eyes when stooping over and rising quickly. I would feel tired most of the time; In fact, had no life in me to speak of for the last i've years. I tried various treatments,

and one physician in St. Louis was recommended to me. and 1 was under his treatment some time. but as usua1 obtained no relief.
 "So many people asked me e go Cooper's preparation that I decided = do SO. and after usi.y it for few days, this awful thing passed from my system feel much better al ready. and I want to say right here that thank Mir. Cooper a hundred times for what his medicine has done for me. would not take SS,000 and have that thing back in my system again."
 Mr. winkler is fair sample of the experience of many during Coop er's stay in Chicago. and this no doubt helped to account for the enormous sale of the Cooper preparation in this city and others. recently visited by the young men.
 We sell and will be pleased to ex-. plain the Cooper preparations. E. q Fowler.

Univefsity. March 1s-- tspeciai) --The Board Of Trustees of the University met this afternoon in the offices of the president to consider bids for the the erection of two new build- ings as per plans drawn by Architect Frank Lockwood. of Montgomery.
 Those in attendance were: Governor Conner, Trustees ]. H Johnson. of Tal- ladega; H. B, Davis of Gadsden; T. C. Mcclellan. of Athens; T. w. Coleman. of Eutaw: Daniel Pratt. of Prattviile; H B Foster, of Tuscaloosa, and M. F. LeGrand. of Montgomery. There were also present. at the invitation of the Board, several representatives of the Alumni Society, including Hill Fergu- whom addressed the meeting on the question of materials for construction.
 At the meeting held in Montgomery last Monday, all of the bids except the four lowest were eliminated and from this number the successful contractor was selected this afternoon. The work was awarded to the B. c. Bynum Con- struction Company. of Birmingham, for the erection of both Biological and En- gineering buildings at an aggregate cost of s1Ss.40s. the buildings to be fn- ished in first class pressed brick and stone, subject to the approval of the architect and building committed.
 Actual work is to be begun as soon as the formal contract can be drawn up between the construction company and the Board of Trustees. The tsngf- neering building is to be completed by october |, 1908. and the Biology -Geoi- ogy buildings by April 1, 1909.
 At one time 1t was thought that 1t would be necessary to construct these buildings of stucco. but on account of the reduction in cost of materials it has been found possible to use brick and stone instead, and everyone con- nected with the University Is extreme iy happy at this termination of the matter.

washington. March i2.-The postof- ice appropriation bill had rough sailing in the House of Representatives today. Its progress was halted at every turn by amendments upon which there were lengthy discussion.
 The attacks were begun on the sec tion relating to the pneumatic tube service, which was forced to undergo change so that extensions of such service should not be confined to the several cities named in the bill. but that they should be made wherever the Postmaster General may think best
 The House was unit for withhold ing a portion of the pay to railroads for transportation of mails until a cor- rect system of weighing should be es- tablished. q provision to that effect be- ing incorporated in the measure. And finally "a vigorous but intellectual fight was made on proposition by Mfr. Goe- bel (os) to increase by s2.o00,0O0 the Appropriation for paying the expenses of railway mail clerks while travelling on business of the department.
 Still other amendments were in sight when the bill was laid aside for the day and the House at 5:o5 ?. m. adjourned.

The usual circular governing the an
nual inspection, while in camp, is
now in the hands of the adjutant gen.
eral, and will doubtless be announced
in a day or two. Owing to those
brigades arriving successfully, on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, In
spector General Sweeney has arranged
to have the inspection Of personal ap.
pearance on Friday for the Third
brigade; on Saturday for the Second
briagde, and on Monday for the First
brigade. The field work will be in
spected in the same manner, the Third
brigade on Wednesday, Second brigade
on Thursday and the First brigade on
Friday. In this portion of the inspec.
tion work there will be no close order
business. The "Extendent Order, -
Advance and Rear Guard" and 'Out.
post Duty" will comprise the pro.
gram. Through such an arrangement
the briagde commandants will be able
to cut loose, in between time, as il
were. for any manoeuvering they may
choose. The First briagde will be fav.
ored in having more ground to work
over towards the end of its tour, as
the other brigades will pull out ahead
of the First, which can utilize the

Pure FOOD LAWS
ARE ENFORCED

remarks able statement concerning
efficiency of the,pure food. campaign
in this state, was given out Saturday
by Dairy and Food Commissioner
James Foust at Harrisburg who said:
Some time ago We determined to
thoroughly investigate the quality of
various brands of canned goods, soups.
potted meats, etc., sold in the state.
We concluded to make a comprehen-
sive job of it. Special agents Of the
division were sent into the following
counties Mercer, Crawford, Erie War
rem, Venango, Armstrong, Westmore-
land, Indiana, Blair, Huntington,
Clearfeld, Centre. Lycoming North
cumberland. Dauphin, Lancaster and
Lebanon. The special agents Of the
division gathered in all sorts of can
ned goods. They collected corn, peas,
beans. tomatoes, asparagus, oysters,
perhaps somevother sorts. They ae-
cumulated a large variety Of the stand
ard soups They purchased collection
of potted meats, consisting of chicken,
ham, tongue. and veal loaf. Nor did
they neglect weinerwurst and pork
sausage. These commodities were put
up in various states of the union. They
bore all sorts Of trademarks and were
variously branded. Having collected
our samples we sent them to compet-
ent chemists for analysis. Not single
one of all the $50 samples contained a
chemical preservative and none was
artifcally colored. We're we disap-
pointed? Why, sure but it was a
pleasant disappointment. For we
would far rather commend manu-
facturer for making and dealer for
selling honest goods than detect him
in fraud. One thing about these
goods, however, l think you ought to
tell the people. The brands costing the
most money were invariably the best,
the cans containing less water or juice.
The corn was of the best grade and
we'll packed in the can, the tomatoes
were in many instances whole, and
were fine and plump. The others were
not injurious to health but they were
not the equal of the better grades, and
I am satisfied that the cheap ones were
the most costly, since they contained
| far less substances than the others,

ADAMS EXPRESS co.
SHY OF FIREWORKS

The Adams Express company has is
sued a stringent order to all its agents
not to accept fireworks for shipment
over any OF the lines of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company served by it.
This becomes effective at once 1t is
further said that the same rules may
be made to apply to the Southern Ex-
press company as well. This company
is controlled by the Adams and oper-
ates chiefly in the southern states.
The reason for the order is to lessen
the danger to express messengers on
the train and to merchandise, which
is being handled in large volume. The
order is not new one, but those in
charge Of the company's service have
seen fit to call special attention to it
at this time.

MEDICAL SOCIETY
IN SESSION

meeting of the Montour County
Medical Society was held at the hos
pital for the insane FRIDAY after
noon. An interesting address was de-
livered by DR.. George E. Holtzapple
of York, member of the committee
of the State Medical Society on In
ebriate Asylum
In order to popularize the idea of a
State inebriate asylum laymen as we'll
as physicians were invited to be pres
ent. The turn out of both was quite
good. Among the physi clans present
in addition to the hospital staff were
the following: Drs. Shultz, Stock,
Curry. Newbaker, and Barber, of DAN
Vile; DR.. Detwiler of Williamsport !;
Drs. Bruner, Montgomery, Shuman
and John, of Bloomsbu and DIR. Bit
ler Of Pottsgrove. Among the laymen
present from Danville were the fol-
lowing ministers of the gospel: Revs
John Conley Grimes, James Wollaston
Kirk, Jules Foin, William Brill.
DR.. Holtzapple very ably and con-
vincingly explained the necessity of
an inebriate asylum. At the conclusion
Of his address the subject was discuss
ed by DR.. Meredith and the clergymen
present. In conclusion, on motion, it
was ordered that the sentiment of
those present be recorded as heartily
in sympathy with the State medical So
ciety in its efforts to establish a hos.
pital for inebriates.
DR.. G. E. Stock of Danville read a
paper entitled 'Hydrophobia with Re.
port of a Case"
After dwelling at length upon the
description and history of the dread
malady DR.. Stock wound up with a
few words to the skeptics. " 1t is al
undeniable fact, he said, that there i:
a disease in man which kills and
which is produced by dog bite. The
features Of this disease are occasional
ly simulated by other maladies anC
this fact has been made by certain lay
writers the ground for denying the oc
currence Of rabies in man; but suol
denial is only possible through lament

making nearly full time during the

All our industries are running on as
nearly full time as possible. The stove
works last week ran four days and the
week previous five days. At no time
during the business depression did the
latter plant fall below half time. 1t

was reduced, the number of moulders
employed was greater than during the

Can't Snoon on the Beach,

travel from Danville to Atlantic City
during the summer vacation season
will, no doubt, find some interest in
the following dispatch;
--te;afjeiv-C -Clty, JunIv go. a snooial
officer went on duty today and it is re-
ported that he has instructions from
the mayor to stop too promiscuous
"spooning" on the beach. His chief
duty, however, will not be to spy up
on the loving ones along the strand,
but to rout out the men who are prone
to make remarks which are resented
by unescorted women bathers.
The special officer is doing a duty
which had been performed by the life
guards, and he is to be the censor along
the strand.
