L.. 7. Cooper's theory concerning the
human stomach. which he claims to
prove with his new medicine, Is being
given more respect and comment every
dag.
Cooper c. ,ms that go 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 races are con-
cerned. Practically all OF the chronic
III health of this generation Is caused
~ abnormal stomachic conditions. In
earlier days, when the human race was
loser 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.
ITO be sure, there was sickness in
those days, but 1t was OF virulent
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 Ill 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 a
sedentary existence. further know
that few people can be sick with the
digestive apparatus IN perfect shape.

 MRS CLEVELAND'S attitude in com- polling an examination, proving the politi- cal letter published by a certain New York newspaper with the Grover Cleve- land signature, to be fraud, has done 8 service to the people of the United States as well as to the reputation of her hon ored husband. Mrs. Cleveland is a wom- an who can always be relied upon to do the right thing and in this instance she has not disappointed her innumerable following.
 MISS MARGUERITE DRExEL is the American heiress who is attracting more attention in London at present than any other.

 CEASES MISTRESS
MRS. w. M. TEAGUE AND CHILD z HAVE NARROW ESCAPE FROM
 FRANTIC ACTIONS OF BURNING
 sERvANT-RAcE, IN HOUSE.

Montgomery, October 16.-(Special.)- J. With fire covering her like a shroud, Jane Thornton, negro nurse, pursued Mrs. W. M. Teague, Jr, of this city. and her baby last night The chase lasted over much of the house. though the lady and the child escaped at last.
 While the nurse was preparing some milk over an alcohol lamp it blew up. setting fire to her clothing. As the flames leaped up the negro ran to Mrs. Teague, who, clad in light kimona. was forced to flee for her life, carrying her infant in her arms
 The race led by the entrance to the kitchen and the burning woman ran in. wherefa bucket of water from the cook put out the fire, but not until the victim was fatally burned Death followed shortly. Mrs. Teague is almost prostrated from the shock
 The negro acted as if she thought Mrs. Teague could save her. Screaming and crying she tried to get at the lady swbo with the baby in her arms was almost exhausted when the flaming creature turned into side door and ran down into the kitchen. It was a horrible experience and one that came near put ting Mrs Teague into bed with serious ill., ness. The house was filled with the fumes of burning flesh and the screams Of the dying woman drew the neighbors in from many blocks around
