GERMANS KNEW EMPEROR
HAD WRITTEN TO ENGLISHMAN

by Associated Press.
BERLIN. March THAT Emperor
William had written a letter to Lord
Tweedmouth, 1t was learned today.
was known to a small circle of Berlin
diplomats before the London Times
published it's statement concerning 1t.
The emperor told several persons close
to him that he had written to Lord
Tweedmouth, and official circles here
continue to scout the imputation that
the emperor desired to influence Great
Britains naval plans.
The German government thinks that
the publication of the letter would be
the best ways to dissipate the excite
ment among certain classes in Eng
land. The government explicitly de-
clines, however, to believe that the ex-
cited utterances in the Times and sew
eral other British newspapers repre-
sent correctly the feeling of the Eng
lish people. Decisive action on the part
of the government apparently is inn
peded by the emperor's absence at Will

PARASITES THAT SAP LIFE
 EXPELLED BY NEW METHOD

The interest createdin leading cities during the past year by young Mr. Cooper with his new preparation. is largely accounted for by a peculiar quality possessed by his medicine, which he calls his New Discovery.
 MT Cooper believes that internal parasites, or tapewcrms, are respon- sible for much iI health. and it is an undoubted fact that his medicine has expelled immense numbers of these creatures in various cities visited by him. The young man also believes that stomach trouble is the main cause of all ill health. He claims that few can have poor health with a good di- gestion. He further claims that his New Discovery medicine does nothing but tone up the stomach. yet it not only eXpels the parasites. but relieves many other ailments not as a rule as sociated with stomach trouble.
 Little Jessie Birdsali. daughter of Mrs. Ida BiTdsall. living at 2I3S Car roll avenue. Chicago. is among many relieved of a large parasite by Mir. CoOpers preparation during his stay in that city.
