Cooper's claim that the human ston-
ach is degenerate is distinctly verified.
'One of the most unusual statements
was made by Mr.. {. w. Woods, of 103
South Highland Street. He said: For
four years my wife was in very poor
health. She was weak and thin, with
hectic flush and cough. Physicians
said she had consumption, and | was
inclined TO believe them. 1t certainly
looked as though her days were num-
bered, and there appeared to be very
little ground for hope.
"'Shortly after MIR. Cooper came to
Pittsburg | began to hear of wonderful
results that had been obtained by per-
sons who had tried his medicine, so |
got some for my wife. She had taken
1t only two days when she was relieved
of a tapeworm AZ feet long. She be-
gan to improve immediately-has gain
ed seven pounds since she began TAX
ing the medicine. She feels splendid
and looks very much better. If any
one doubts this statement | would be
pleased to have them call at my house
and verify ii. >"

General Stead has sent out the follow
, ing notice to newspapers and others
concerned in the coming primary cleo.
ton:
Dear Sir: Permit me to call your
attention TO the fact that the form of

cal division, etc, and state:

signed in his presence:
t2) That the signatures are
genuine; and
CD That to the best of his knowl-
edge, the persons signing were quail
fed voters Of the political party for
which a nomination is ought
The form given in section 30 com
plies with these requirements. except
that part of the third requirement
which | have UNDERSIGNED. the words:
of the political party for which
nomination is sought In this respe
the form is defective (The firm
simply states that the sigGers are
qualified voters.)
While I am not prepared to say
the courts would hold a petition in
valid because OF the defect the use
of this form may give rise to serious
doubts. suggest that instead of the

ing form be used:

In addition TO these every indus
trial town in the kingdom has its
quota of unemployed and the num-
bcr is being steadily increased.
II is evident how little the max
ing of new parks and roadways can
do to provide employment for this
great army.
The most dangerous feature of
the situation is the bold attitude
adopted by the leaders of these idle
men. Socialism has made great
strides in England of recent years
and the English workman is no
longer contentcd with that station
in life 10 which God has called
him" He no longer accepts star
walton and cold as acts of God. He
now demands the right TO work and
the right TO live and II denied

temper toward those whom he
holds responsible for his plight.
