The New orleans Times Democrat
says of William Collier, who comes to
The Jefferson theatre tonight in his
new play Caught in the RAIN"
AS was only to be expected of q
combination between Willie Collier and
a play peculiarly fitted to his individu-
ality, Caught in the Rain met the
unqualified approval of an overflow au
dience which witnessed its initial ap-
pearance of the week at the Tulane
theatre last evening, an dit will I'M

a three-act farce, Caught in the Rain"
is all of that and a trihe over, while the
cast which supported Mr.. Collier is adj
mirably fitted for it's presentation.

WORK BEGINS AGAIN
 ON MARINE RAILROAD THE PEONAGE SUITS THROWN
 OUT OF COURT Time is to be Made Up on Henry M. Flag Ier's Gigantic Enterprise.

New York, Nov. 30.-CSpecial corre- spondence of The Republican, )-Hun- dreds of men are being rushed suoth- ward to work on the completion of the great Florida East Coast railway, fol- lowing the decision of Judge H6ugh of the United States circuit court, in dis missing, as without cause of action, the so-called peOnage cases that had been brought by the United States govern ment against the labor agents of the railroad.
 While these actions were pending in the courts the men in charge of the construction work on this sea going railroad, which is to be Henry M. Flag ler's greatest achievement, were lOath to push forward with the same amount of energy that had been displayed prior to the action of the attorney gen eral in taking cOgnizance of the reck- less charges of labor slavery that had been made Every effort to make up for lost time now will be put forward by Vice-P President Joseph R. Parrott, who has been charge personally since the work began in June of 1905. Fully 200 men now are employed south of Knights Key and more workmen are being sent to the field of operations each day.

Last year l was on q fishing trip in Northern Minnesota. l had two guides who had spent their lives in the woods trapping. hunting and fish ing When night came these men would eat a frying pan full of bacon, pouring the grease over great hunks of soggy sort of bread. The sight of these slabs of bacon would sicken most New Workers, but these men munched it down with a relish and then rolled up in a blanket and slept like logs. They never knew they had a stomach, so perfectly did the gas tric juices perform their function I asked them if they were ever sick. They both laughed at the idea. 'Nev- CT had a minutes sickness they said
 Modern conditions make it impos- sible for people to live as these men live, but if they get their digestions in shape there will be mighty little rheumatism or kidney trouble or liver complaint. I do not believe in taking medicine unless it is necessary. but if man or woman is suffering with what is called a general run down condition,' and what I call a played out stOmach,' will take Coopcrs New Discovery for six weeks. I can assure them they will need no more medicine for many months to come.
 The proof Of the pudding is in the eating l have been in New York only two weeks. Today I have had dozen people call and thank me for my wonderful nedicine,' as they call it. These are only the first. Such people will call by hundreds before I leave"

WORLD ATE FRYING PAN FULL IF
 BACON EVERY EVENING
Feat Performed By Guides Impossible For New Workers,
 Says Cooper

The headquarters of l.. T. Cooper, the young man who claims that the stomachs of many Americans are de generate, has presented a scene of unusual activity for the past few days.
 Cooper with his assistants is meet ing the public at present in New York The success he has had in other cities seems to have followed him here, for an astonishing number of people are calling to have his the ory and medicines explained to them.
 Thursday afternoon when inter viewed. Cooper said: 'I am often asked if my medicine is good for kid ney trouble, or liver complaint. or rheumatism. or a dozen other diseases too numerous to mention. These are hard questions to answer. Frankly, my treatment is for the stomach, and for the stomach alone, but if the function of digestion is being prop erly performed very few people can be sick.
 "Tbe stomach is the seat of life. The entire system depends upon it's action. Why are there so many half sick people today It is because the stomach of d man or woman who lives a shut-up life day after day, taking little or no exercise in the fresh air, cannot digest the amount of food that is forced upon it. It gradually grows weaker under these circumstances, and nervousness, kid ney trouble. rheumatism, etc, is the result.
 T am successful with my treatment because the medicine cleans out the food tracts that have become clogged, gets the digestive organs regulated and gives nature a chance Give ma ture a chance, that's the secret of health.
