parents are very anxious to have
teachers discharge the responsibilities
which OF right belong to the home cir

PARASITES THAT SAP LIFE
EXPELLED BY NEW METHOD

The interest created In leading cities
during the past year by young Mr..
Cooper with his new preparation. is
hugely accounted for by n peculiar
quality possessed by this medicine,
which ne calls his New Discovery.
Mr.. Cooper believes that internal
parasites, or tapoworms, are respon-
sible for much Ill health. and II Is an
lindoubted fact that his medicine has
expelled immense numlprs of these
creatures In various cities visited by
him. The young man also believes
that stomach trouble Ii the main cause

eating committee did in 1891:
When the resolution was introduced
II attracted no attention, for the sim
pie reason that resolutions OF such a
nature are being introduced right
along with no attention paid to them,
Hut % close study OF the resolution
revealed the fact that the senator had
something more in mind than just as
pertaining the conduct of the New

The tip has gone the rounds that u
IS to pass both houses OF the legis-
latnre, and there will be committee
or three senators and i've assembly,
men at work probing the affairs OF
tho New York city administration
within short time.
II Inns been claimed that tho New

rock, which has won twenty-four out
of the twenty.seyen contests in which
she started in the regattas held this
year in home waters, Sir Thomas Lip
ton is more anxious than ever to try

that some intimation will come from
the yacht club that challenge, if
sent. would be accepted Without such
intimation Sir Thomas will not ask
any British yacht club to challenge on
his behalf
