RETIRED BUSINESS MAN IS
IN FAVOR OF new THEORY

One OF the most interesting state
ments made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory, that
has spread over the country during the
past year, is made by T.. II. Lambert,
a retired business man, whose home is
at 115 Francis Street, Everett, Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this to say in con-
nection with Cooper and his medi-
cines: Some time ago | read an ar
ticle about this man Cooper, In which
he claimed that stOI.. ach trouble vas
directly responsible for most iii health.
He went on to say that. although his
medicine did nothing but get the stom-
ach In sound condition, it wonld, In
many cases. remove kidney and liver
trouble and various other ailments.
He argued from this that the stomach
was the main cause OF sickness, and
stated that the success he has had
with his medicines was due entirely
TO this fact.
Il an now fully convinced that this
theory Is correct, and believe Cooper
has a really remarkable medicine,

TOPEKA WOMEN DRESS WE'LL.
New Styles Appear on Kansas Avenue
as Soon as in New York.

Mr.. Sol Berkson of Berkson Bros. has
returned from New York, where his
firm has it's headquarters. The Berkson
brothers are particularly well pleased
with their venture in Topeka. Their
ladies' garment store was established
here less than five months ago and is
now one of the most popular shopping
places in Topeka.
I'VE have been more successful than
we even hoped to be-" said Mr.. Herkson
when we first came here we thought
the trade a little slow about taking up
the extreme novelties from the east.
However, we intend to continue show
ing the same styles here as are being
shown in New York. I am convinced
the ladies of Topeka appreciate it.
Never before in the history of the cloak
business has there been such an array
of novelties as is now being shown by
the wholesalers in New York. It is my
ambition that these late styles appear
on the streets Of Topeka as early as
they do in New York. It is on account
of the superior buying facilities our firm
has that we are enabled to show the
same garments that are being shown
today in the fashionable New York
shops.
1--WE are firm believers in advertis-
ing" Mr.. Berkson continued. THE re-
suits we have obtained from the State
Journal are especially gratifying. We
regard the State Journal as the best adj
vertising medium in Topeka We are
now using nearly twice the amount of
space we originally contracted for in
the State Journal.

He doesn't say it boastfully. He just
remarks that in his opinion Jeffries is
a great, big, good-natured man, who
doesn't like to hurt anybody's feelings
by giving a close fight to the fellow
with shade and that jeff was a lit

easy and gave him a draw.
"Fn fight Atte1 any time now at 122

can crawl out of it, If can't get him,
Battling Nelson or some of those fell
lows will do.
II was rather surprised to find Attell
such mark for a straight jab," said
Moran. Il had an idea that he'd have
marvellous blocking system that I
couldn't get through. But you know
Attell has always been more clever
than the men he has fought and a
clever man is easy for the same kind
OF work he uses himself. I began jab-

few heavy body punches. By the

afraid of me. Then he began calling
me bad names and trying to make me
lose my head. I knew then he must
feel worried. SO I just laughed at him
and asked him not to quit until I fin

he ran. There isn't long distance

San Bernardino, Cal, Jan. 3o.-The
