L. T. Cooper's theory concerning the
human stomach, which he claims TO
prove with his new medicine, is being
given more respect and comment every
day.
Cooper claims that 90 per cent. of
all i'll health is due to stomach trouble.
When interviewed about his theory re-
Gently, he said: Stomach trouble is
the great curse OF the Goth century
so far as the civilized Knees are con-
cerned. Practically all of the chronic
I'll health Of this generation Is caused
by abnormal stomachic conditions. In
earlier days. when the human race was
closer to nature, and men and women
worked all day out Of doors, digging
their frugal existence from the soil,
the tired, droopy. half-sick people that
are now so common, did not exist.
TO be sure, there was sickness in
those days. but it was Of a viTulent
character, and only temporary. There
was none of this half-sick condition
all the time with which so many are
afflicted nowadays.
Il know positively that every bit Of
this chronic III health Is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stomach
IN civilized people today Is Degenerate.
1t lacks tone and strength. This weak
ness has gradually come through q
sedentary existence. I further know
that few people can be sick With the
DIGESTIVE apparatus in perfect shape.

That is why / have had more people

Among the immense numbers Of peo-
pie who are now strong believers in
Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs.
N. E. Delano, prominent resident Of
the suburb Of Brookline, Boston, Mass.
She says: "For several years | was

RIGHT TO VOTE
Besiege Congress Of United
States to Grant Them the
Right Of Suffrage.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Mar. g.
Assaults in high soprano ware made
on congress this week in the name OF
Woman Suffrage" Dividing int
squads Of two. headed by Mrs. Elsie
clews Parsons, wife OF Representa-
tive Parsons, of New York. and a
daughter of Henry CIews. the banker,
and by the Rev. Anna Shaw. presi-
dent of the National Suffrage Associ-
alton, the sufrragettes laid their de-
mands before the judiciary commit
tee OF the house and the womna suf-
frage committee of the senate.
Among the prominent women In
teh delegation wer: Mrs. Laura

Fernald. state president Of Maine;
Mrs. Ella Stewart, state president OF
Illinois; Mrs. Ella crossett state
president of New York and Mrs. Car
rle Chapman Gait, president of tho

The women asked for an amend

give women the right to vote. There
is very little probability, according to
the members of the committee. that
there viii be any favorable action on
the proposition.
! Members have received. numerous
kilograms and letters from womenss

protesting against woman suffrage,
and they say that those protests are
almost as numerous as letters they
have received fayoring the proposi-

At Cleveland Where So Many
School Children Perished
is Being Sought.
THREE GIRLS MAY KNOW
As They Were in the Basement
Under Stairway Where the
Blaze Really Started.
Tny Aasoeiatsa RresH.I

CLEVELAND, o., Mar. $50 far
today 1l2 bodies have been identi-
fled from among the pupils of the
Lakeylew schol in Collinswood.
The number of the dead is not yet
known. The number may reach -l7O.
One hundred and sixty-eight bodies
have been recovered and 1t is be-
lieved that other bodies are in the
ruins.
Firemen and voluntary assistants
are still probing the ruins. : OF the
Sc bodies unidentified it is generally
admitted that practically all will not
be distinguished from the other as
all are badly burned.
Coroner Burke today began an In
vestigatlon of the causes leading to
the terrible loss of life. So far no
definite conclusion mas been reached
as to the cause OF the fire or where
the blame lies. II the blame should
be placed as now believed 1t will be
tho fire did not have its origin in
the furnace but that 1t started under
a stairway leading from the base
ment to the first floor of the school
building.
1t is understood three girls were
in the basement at the time the fire
started and efforts are being made
to ascertain who they were.
While 16S bodies have been recoy-
cred, the opinion late in the day is
that the number of dead might total
upwards Of $50. This opinion is
based on the difference as to the
number of bodies recovered and the
number reported missing.
