WAR ON RACETRACKS
Agnew Anti-gambling Bill
Is Well Supported.
COMBINED FORCES TO ACT
Those who Were Behind Jerome
Measures Last Season Meet and De-
eide to Rally 10 the Agnew and
Hart Bills, Which VIII BE Unified
to Garry Through Hughes Ideas.

New York, Jan. Ex-senator Agnew
went to Albany this afternoon with the
assurance that strong organization will
support his measure for the repeal of
the Percy-Gray law and the abolition of
bookmaking at the race tracks in this
State.
This assurance was given at an inn
portant conference held to-day at the
headquarters of the American Fedora
ton of Churches in the Arts Club stu
dios. in East Nineteenth street.
The conference was attended by repre-
sentatives of the forces that combined
last year in support of the Jerome bills
and by others who G!d not take part in
that opening skirmish in the war on race
track gambling
Aimed at Gambling.
Dr. Walter Laidlow submitted to the
conference both the Agnew and the Hart
bills, introduced at the present session OF
the legislature in response to Gov.
Hughes recommendation that the laws
be made to agree with the State consti-
tuition. which Iatly forbids gambling.
Senator AgneW said that his bill and
that introduced by Assemblyman Hart
would be unified and reintrodueed stimuli
taneously in the two branches Of the
legislature
The conference organized committees
TO take up systematically the work of
conducting an effective campaign against
gambling at the race tracks.
There We're evidences at this gathering
Of the progress that has been made since
The tight OF last year in arousing not
only the moral, but the commercial and
Industrial sense of the public against
the systematic and "legaiized' defiance
Of the constitution az the race tracks.
The conference represented wider inter
ests than were lined up last year in the
campaign against gambling.

HUMAN RACE AFFLICTED
WITH QUEER DISEASE
Cooper Says Internal Parasites Cause Much
Suffering Everywhere.

Contrary to general belief. the ap-
petite is not greatly increased-it only
becomes irregular. There is a general
feeling Of faintness, however, and a
gnawing sensation in the pit OF the
stomach.
People afflicted with one Of these
parasites are nervous and depressed.
Their chief sensation is one OF Ian
guor, and they tire very easily. Lack
Of energy and ambition affect the body,
and the mind becomes dull and slug
gish. The memory becomes not 50
good, and the eyesight is generally
poorer.
THE New Discovery, in freeing stom-
ach and bowels OF all impurities. seems
to be fatal to these great worms, and
almost Immediately expels them from
the system. | wish to assure anyone
who has the experience just related
with my preparation, that there is no
cause for alarm in the matter, and
that II will as a rule mean a speedy
restoration to good health"
