Louis Pierre was one of the immi-
grants who came down to settle the
town of Fitzgerald, Ga.
Az he spoke both pigeon French
and broken English he rapidly became
man of importance in the communi-
ty. and was successfully elected city
marshal, school director, coroner and
Justice of the peace, and was address
ed by his friends as Judge Pierre.
A dispute arose between the French
and English settlers as to the superb
ority of the United States over the
Canadian provinces. They finally
agreed to leave the decision to Judge
Pierre, as tie French felt sure he
would decide in favor of the provinces
and the English were positive that his
love for America would give them the
decision.
When the momentous question was
made clear to his honor, he said:

Recent Grewsome Experience of a Chicago

Such Cases

During L. T. Cooper's recent visit to
Chicago, where his new preparation
and theory created the usual sensation
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 Mr.. Emil
Winkler, who brought to Cooper a
tapeworm that proved to be over
ninety feet in length. Mr.. Winkler
who resides at 1872 East Ohio Street
Chicago, had this to say of his expe
rience: "For five years I have been
more or less complaining. I 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 appear be-

Among the new products to be
handled extensively this year by
wholesale plumbers are luminous and
non-luminous electric radiators. The
electric radiator gives heat from a
source that is clean and safe as an
electric light, and the luminous radi
ator is regarded as giving all the ben.
efits of an open fire, besides doing
away with danger from sparks, smoke
gas, ashes and SCOT. The luminous
radiator is appreciated most on chilly
days, when it is not consistent and
economical to start fire. It can be
easily carried from room to room and
when connected gives immediate heat
with the turning on of the current
