HEARTILY ENDORSE
COOPER REMEDIES
Dealer and Patient at Ha11owel1, Maine. Make
Statements Under OATH.

. In connection with the intense in.
tacest manifested by the public at
large in the theory of l.. T. Cooper
as to the human stomach being the
scarce OF nearly all ill health, the
statements of Mr.. w. D. Spaulding,
OF Hallowell, Me-, one of the Oldest
aad best-known druggists in that state,
and Of Mrs. Frederick Harvey, we'll
known nurse living in the same place,
viii be interesting to thousands of
persons who are today suffering from
ailments directly traceable to the
stomach. The fact that these state.
Aents are made voluntarily, under
cath, removes all element of doubt.
The statements follow:

OXFORD NEEDS MONEY.

Cn'sersity Now Too Poor to Supply
Field.
The first public act of Lord Curzon
- chancellor of the University of Ok.
!Td was the publication of an appeal
asking for 81 $50 900 to meet the press
!t;e needs of the university, among
w.,ich he enumerates the promotion of
!s,piern and scientific studies and the
maintenance of the Bodleian library,
says Outlook
In many departments of science, he
declares, Oxford is unable, for want of
Necessary funds and appliances, to
work, and an electrical laboratory and
provision for giving scientific training
tor the practical profession of engi-
neering are greatly needed.
He says that the gift of Cecil
Rhodes, the greatest benefaction which
the university has received of late
years, has, has brought with it a
burden, adding, as it does, 200 men
from ali parts of the British empire,
from the United States and from Ger
many to the body of undergraduates,
aud imposing upon the university the
necessity of offering the newcomers
all that is best in teaching, equipment
and study.
To Americans it would seem as if
this appeal from an institution SO ven
cradle, so yenerated so intimately as
ISOLATED not only with English scholar
ship, but with English literature and
English history, would meet with
lrompt response. Unfortunately, SO
far neither the universities nor the ca
thedrals have been able to make up
by popular gifts for the great losses
they have sustained by the shrinkage
OF incomes caused by the fall of rents

BOOK PLATES.

Their Invention Came Half Century

It was within half century from
the invention of printing that book
plates were introduced as identifying
marks to indicate the ownership of the

from movable type and wood cutting
for making impressions in ink on pa
per, is likewise the home land of the
book plate.

LANDING IN ENGLAND,
Going Through the Custom House Is I
Simple Matter There.

Going Through the Custom House Is a
Simple Matter There.
There is no country where the mat
ter of landing from American Dassen-
ger ships is so easy and so expeditions
ly done as England, says the Travel
Magazine. OF course, it is a free trade
country, the freest in the whole world.
There are duties levied on tobacco
and spirits, but travellers are allowed a
half-pound of tobacco, in any shape,
and a half-pint of spirits, which also
means the same as perfume. Sugar is
dutiable, whether in grain, sweets or
in jam, but small quantity is freely
passed.
In all cases, however, these goods
must be the actual property of the
passenger, and be for his use and con-
trail. Cocoa, coffee and tea are also
dutiable, as are reprints of English
books. Outside of these things, as
named, passengers can bring in any
thing, motors, cycles, horses, but not
dogs, for which animal a not to exceed
six months quarantine awaits. Keep
dogs on the American side.
The customs officials are life ap-
pointees-under civil service-and will
be found most obliging and helpful. In
fact, they are model to the customs
world. Tell the truth at all times to
these officials and you will be all right.
They are marvelously keen on spotting
the supposedly smart liar.

Birds Queer PLIGHT.

A fluttering in the fiue leading from
the kitchen stove attracted the atten-
ton of Mrs. J. Edward Sims the other
morning.
When Mr. Sims came in he was
asked to investigate, and much to his
surprise found in the stove pipe, only
a few feet from the gas flame, a red
headed woodpecker. How the bird
got into that predicament cannot be
explained, but he must have entered
at the chimney top and worked his
way downward. Perhaps he was lazy
and was looking for hole to build
his nest in without drilling one into
the wood. His bright coat of red,
white and black was subdued to a
sooty brown, and in outward appear
ances he resembled the chimney
sweep, and he was gasping for fresh

ties for wolf pelts, direct destruction
by hunting, poisoning, trapping, etc.
1t appears that the bounty system
has not proved very satisfactory and
hunting is both expensive of time and
labor, so that poisoning is largely re-
sorted to.
The most successful method consists
in the use of strychnine, which is in

Since corsets are generally regarded
as exclusively destined for feminine

many readers to learn that the annual

much larger than that Of the average
smart woman. This is, nevertheless,
a fact:
A leading corsetiere who supplies

no one imagine that it is only fops
who wear them.
The majority of wearers are mill

Others are ordinary we'll dressed men,

Fate of His Castle,

amusing story was told of Lord Shook,

the Killarney lakes. His lordship's regi-

Many years after he returned with
the feeling that whatever had hap
