MY Kingdom For a Name.

AS everybody in this section Of the
world names his place, l have con
Guided that l should have a label fol-
my uptilted and wedge shaped farm,
but it is harder than naming a baby.
One man suggested Gateway View
but that is too highfalutin, the name
being bigger than the farm. l myself
have thought of a number of names,
but al decide on none of them for
keeps. When coming here we intend
ed to raise about 400 chickens, which
finally dwindled to fourteen. In the
fever of my fond dreams Of hens I
thought of naming the place "Hen-
roost-on-Hudson," but as the hens
failed to materialize the name had to
be abandoned. Then another friend
wanted me to raise Swiss goats. He
said there were millions in 1t. l got
the goat fever also, and as I planned
how my Swiss flock would leap from
crag to crag l concluded that l would
name the farm Goats Rest" The
dream, however, went like the other,
and i'll the end l got only two goats of
rather plebeian origin. SO that name
was out of it.
upturned farm used to be called "Bull
HILL" so the next name l selected was
"Bullsfoot." My neighbors objected,
however, on the ground that the noun
tain's name had been Latinized to
Mount Taurus, 10 that name went
giimmerlng also. Then l gave up In
despair. 4
that is not working, please send 1t in.
The prize winner will have his name
printed all over the United States,
Canada and Samar and, in addition,
will have the proud consciousness that
he has relieved a fellow being from
anguish. AS General Butterfeld's
place near here is called "Cragside,,'
Irving's farm, twenty miles below, is
known az "sunnyside," and John Bur-
roughs' wilderness. a little farther up
the river, is denominated "slabsides,''
these names must be avoided. Com
petitors can take any other side. how
ever:

I recently had a proof of the fact
that the world moves. For several
years past; ! have put only two chill
dren in school. This year i put In
three. That Is a sign Of progress.
About the only fad l have is that of
gathering up old prints. pictures and
photographs Of paintings. One beauty
of this is that. It keeps me 90 poor \

Most People Do Not Know Cause

Does human health depend on one organ
alone? This question is becoming widely dis
cussed since L. T. Cooper first advanced his
theory that the stomach in the true seat of life
and all health dependent upon it.
Mr. Cooper, who was met with remarkable
success in the sale of his new medicine, be-
leves that the stomach is responsible for most
sickness, and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discussing this
theory recently, he said: 81 am asked time
and again to tell why my medicine has made
such record wherever introduced it. Nv
answer always is, because it restores the
stomach to normal condition No one will
deny that today there are more half-sick men
and women than ever before. Nothing critical
seems to be the matter with them. They are
Just half-sick most of the time. They don't
know really what is the matter with them.
| have talked with thousands during the past
two years, and few knew indeed what their
trouble was. One SAID nervousness, another
said kidney trouble, another liver complaint,
some constipation, or heart trouble, or lung
trouble. Many had treated, as they called it,
for most OF these diseases at different times.
A very common complaint is all run down.

81 know positively that every bit or this
chronic i'll health is caused by stomach trouble
and nothing else. My New Discovery puts
the stomach in sound condition in about six
weeks. Mighty few people can be sick with a
sound digestion. That is why my medicine is

convinced many thousands Of people that
these things are so, and the number is growing
by leaps and bounds"
Among more recent converts to Mr..
Coopers beliefs is Mr.. Edgar l.. Kinds, living
at IaPpan Street, Everett, Mass. Mr.. Kinds
has this to say on the subject:
81 have suffered with stomach trouble for
eight years. was not sick enough to be in
bed, but Just felt bad all the time. My great
est trouble was that always felt tired, would
get up in the morning feeling as tired as when

1t is impossible for any drug to digest
food without the aid of the stomach.
Man cannot do natures work he can
only assist her, and any concern claiming
that they have remedy that will digest
food without the aid of the stomach,
thereby allowing the stomach to lay idle
and rest, are claiming the impossible.
All remedies for stomach troubles should
be given with the sole purpose of aiding
nature and enabling the stomach to do

the time the fire was discovered the
occupants were asleep. A large party
gathered and at once proceeded to the
Lavaley house, making an entrance,
routed the whole family. who soon
cleared the house. They at once removed
the household goods, while others of the
force iabored to get the fire under con-
troll. After some time of fierce fighting
OF the fire it was got under control and
put out. The fire took from the outside
OF the house and had entered the floors
OF the upper part of the house before it
was put out. Lavaley's loss is about
$3.50. The fire is of incendiary origin.
Facts point to a suspicion of the guilty
person. But for the timely arrival of
help the entire family would have been
cremated alive.
