An interesting interview was re-
Gently obtained with L. T. Cooper, the
young man whose theory and med1-
cines have created such a sensation
during the past year.
Mr.. Cooper, in speaking of the re-
markable success of his medicine, had
this to say on the subject: "My medi-
cine regulates the stomach. That is
why It is successful. The human stom-
ach today has become degenerate, and
is the cause for most Ill health. In
the horse, the dog, and the wild ami
mails generally, you see no nerve ex
haustion, no chronic debility. They
are not shut up day after day with
practically no exercise, and they are
not able to stuff themselves with fooC
when their bodies have not had enough
work to justify it The human race
has been doing this for years, and
look at the result-half the people art
complaining of poor health, not rea
illness-just a half-sick, tired, droopy
feeling. They don't really know wha
is the matter with them.
IL know that all the trouble Il
caused by weak, overworked stom
achs. l have proved this with m!
medicine to many thousands of pee
pie in most of the leading cities o
this country. l expect to do the sam
thing in Europe next year. This i
the real reason for the demand TO
my preparation"
Among those who have recent
been converted to Cooper's theory /
Mr.. Monroe Brown of 8 HaneOcI
Street, Winchester, Mass. Mr.. Brow
has this to say Of his experience wit

the new medicine: "For over seven
years 1 suffered with catarrh of the
stomach, and for the past year l was
lame with rheumatism. l attributed
this to my stomach trouble, as my cir
culation was very poor. What food L
ate would turn to gas almost at once.
/ would have sensation of boating,
and would have to belch frequently
to relieve this. My heart also became
affected, and 1 would suddenly become
dizzy and have palpitations. l was
tired and dull and respondent at all
times. 1 lost great deal of flesh, and
was nervous and depressed. This went
on for over seven years, although l
spent hundreds of dollars trying to
get relief.
"When Cooper was in Boston !
heard a good deal about his ideas on
stomach trouble. Next, one or two
friends told me that his medicines had
greatly helped them. purchased
some of the New Discovery medicine.
/ Today l am perfectly we'll; sleep like
a boy, can eat anything and have no
rheumatism or heart trouble. I NO
longer have any gas on my stomach
and feel as l did years ago. No one
could be more astonished by these
facts than myself. They are remarH
able, but true. This is indeed a won
l derful medicine"

New Version Of Forest Glen Riding
Affair,

Minneapolis. Dec. 21-President
Roosevelt was talking to his horse and
not to college girls last Thanksgiving
day when several National Park SEM
mary girls composing a riding party
overlook him on the road near Forest
Glen, Maryland, and frightened his
saddler..
Miss Lorraine Norris of 2440 Dupont
avenue S., a student at the seminary
and member of the riding party, is
home for her Christmas vacation and
vouches for this version of the Incl
dent that has been so much talked OF
since it's occurrence. 1t appears from
Miss Norris story that some persons
failed to take into consideration that
at least two kinds of parlance are
sometimes employed on occasions like
the one that occurred near the school
"The president rebuked his horse
struck it with the whip and brought
the animal into obedience" Miss Nor
ris said, last evening, "and that was
all there was to the incident. The
girls knew he was talking to the horse
not them. 1t is also untrue that he
struck a horse ridden by one of the
students"
The president has been accused by
those who heard the story second hand
of losing his diplomatic balance and
talking the equestrian dialect to the
students. References, such as Keep
the road" or "Stay where you be-
long" spoken to the horse with the
usual Roosevelt vim, were understood
both by the horse and the students
according to Miss Norris.
The version given by Miss Norris is
the first positive statement concerning
the affairs that has been given out, and
it appears that 1t was so trivial that it
wasn't talked of in school circles I'M
til after nearly everyone in and near
Washington had taken a chance at
making the story a little better.

when under convoy Of a neutral war
ship, on which Great Britain differs
with all other powers is pressed in the
British statement. 1t is held that a neu-
trail ship should not be entitled to re-
sist search by a belligerent warship on
the ground that 1t is under convoy of a
warship of its own nationality. Forci-
BILE resistance by 1T or by the neutral
warship should be ground for condean-
nation of both ship and cargo.
In regard to blockade, the British, as
opposed to the continental view, hold
the blockading force may be disposed
at any distance from the ports or coasts
of the enemy that the naval command
ers think fit, provided that it is not 50
placed as to obstruct access to a neu-
trail Seaboard.
Claim Made by Japan.
Japan differs with Great Britain on
only one question This is in respect
to the right to search neutral vessel
under convoy of warship of its own
nationality. On this Japan holds "a
neutral vessel under convoy of a yes
sci of war of it's own nationality is ex-
empt, except in cases of grave suspic-
ion, from belligerent visit or search.
if the commander of the convoy makes
a declaration in writing to the effect
that the vessel under convoy has no
contraband on board, is not engaged in
an attempt to violate a blockade, is not
performing unneutral service for the
other belligerent. and that the ships
papers are in order and complete"
