The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-03-24

An interesting interview was re-
Gently obtained with l.. T. Cooper,
the young man whose theory and
medicines have created such sensa-
ton during the past year.
Mr., Cooper, in speaking of the re-
markable success of his medicine, had
this to say on the subject: my mcdi-
cine regulates the stomach. That is
why it is successful The human stom-
ach today has become degenerate,
and is the cause for most i'll health.
In the horse, the dog, and the wild
animals generally, you see no nerve
exhaustion, no chronic debility, They
are not shut up day after day with
practically no exercise, and they are
not able to stuff themselves with food
when their bodies have not had
enough work to justify it, The human
race has been doing this for years,
and look at the result-half the
people are complaining of poor health,
not real illness--just half-sick, tired,
droopy feeling. They don't really
know what is the matter with them,
"I know that all the trouble is
caused by weak, overworked stom-
achs. have proved this with my
medicine to many thousands OF peo-
pie in most of the leading cities OF
this country, expect to do the same
thing in Europe next year This is
the real reason for the demand for
my preparation"
Among those who have recently
been converted to Cooper's theory is

old town which has not its ancient
landmark; hardly one in the circlet OF
suburbs that has not its individual
distinction and attraction for the
sightsecr. And the accessibility of all
the points OF interest," even those
some distance away from the con-

tage Boston offers to visitors who
must combine with their sightseeing
more serious duties,
The headquarters OF the General
Federal of Womcn's Clubs are to be

streets OF the world The principal
meetings are to be held in Symphony
Hall, with overflow gatherings in the
neighboring smaller halls which form
a remarkable group OF public gather
ing places. Thus, delegates while
they are attending business sessions
will find themselves in the newer part
of the city, the Back Bay region
that part Of Boston that represents
the city's modern development, where
are its finer residences and most OF its
sen,i-publc institutions, such as the
Institute Of Technology Simmons
College, where housewifery Is taught
as a scientific profession and business
courses are made matters OF higher
education; the New England Con
seryatory Of Music, unique in Ameri'
ca in many ways; the big medical
schools, the Public Library, first OF It's

Fine Arts, and Mrs. Gardner's "Ital-

Field with its tennis courts and Frank
lin Park with its golf links, to their
Middlesex Fells, preserved in their
rugged natural state. The Arnold
Arborctum, which is al once a public
park and department OF Harvard
University, contains the largest and
finest collection OF trees in the world
constituting a tree museum, as it has
been called, for conducting expert
ments and for the instruction OF
students OF arboricuture and horti
culture
1t is to the street car system which
makes its manifold attractions easy Of
access that Boston owes much Of its
reputation as a convention city. Ex-
perts frequently have described Bos-
tons street car service as the most
efficient they have seen, and its street
,.ar men as the finest body of public
service employees they have met. 1t
is the completeness and sufficiency Of
this local transportation service that
is likely to make the coming conven-
ton Of Women's Clubs in Boston
more Of sightseeing expedition than
such conventions usually are.
