Parasites That Sap Life
Expelled by New Method

The interest created in leading cities
during the past year by young MIR.
Cooper with his new preparation, is
largely accounted for by a peculiar
quality possessed by this medicine;
which he calls his New Discovery.
Mr.. Cooper believes that internal
parasites, or tapeworms, are respon-
sible for much i'll health, and it is an
Lndoubted fact that his medicine has
expelled immense numbers of these
creatures in various cities visited by
him. The young man also believes
that stomach trouble is the main cause
Of all i'll health. He claims that few
can have poor health with good di-
gestiOn. He further claims that his
New Discovery medicine does nothing
but tone up the stomach, yet it not
only expels the parasites, but relieves
many other ailments not as rule as
ISOLATED with stomach trouble.
Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter of
Mrs. Ida Birdsall, living at 213S Car
roll avenue, Chicago, is among many
relieved of large parasite by Mr..
Cooper's preparation during his stay
IN that city. In speaking of the mat
ter to Mr.. Cooper, the mother said /:

MOLINE

Charges Lack of Good Faith.-Prin-
cipal Nutting of the high school has
given the information out that he
will not accept the pledge of the Kap-
pa Iota Gamma presented to him by
Will Dewend. AS his reason, he states
that the boys have not shown good |
faith in presenting to the press the |
communication and that evidently |
they intended. to not live up TO the |
boards edict. DR.. A. NJ. Beal, after |
having read the communication pub |
lished by the boys, asserted that he
would not under any conditions have
the boys reinstated to school privileg-
es, or even consider the proposition.
unless they renounce the communica-
ton. Providing the boys would re-
nounce the communication and agree
| tic respect the resolution passed by the
board at its January meeting he would
then agree to have the boys reinstated.
This seems to be the only way the
matter can be settled now.
| Burns Garbage.-What may prove
solution to the question of the dis

in the city was offered to Mayor Oh

committee yesterday by Andrew En-
lyle of Metz, Iowa. He is known the
country over as the crematory man.
Mr.. Engle has been on a tour of the
larger cities in the country and came
here from Chicago. Yesterday morn
ing he gave practical demonstration
Iof handling and disposing of the gar
hage and along lines which he will
reduce the expense of this department
considerably. The garbage is treated
by Mr.. Engle and he terms it the "util-
ization of the garbage as fuel" 1t
is very simple method, but Mr.. En-
gle has secured a patent upon the pro,
cess. A demonstration was made yes
terday at the city water works plant
wher large pile of garbage was sue
cessfully burned in the furnaces that
lprovide steam to operate the pumps
at the station.

FOR UNIFORM STATE LAWS.
The Problem to be Solved is the
Method for Bringing About
the Desired Uniformity.

Seattle. Wash. Aug. 21.-Men who
make, interpret and expound laws,
men who e on noble toreheads and
furrowed faces the in elibie marks OF
intellectually, and whose thoughtful
%glances and positive speech betoken
the trained mind and judicial temper
alnent-these are the component parts
gathered in the assembly room of the
New Washington Hotel today to dis
cuss the subject of uniform State laws.
The conference is preliminary to next
weeks meeting OF the American Bar
Association in this city and many of
the eminent legal lights who are to
participate in the meeting OF the bar
association are taking part in the con-
ference on uniform laws. The need
for greater uniformity in the laws of
matters as marriage and divorce is
new generally recognized. The prob
lem to be solved is the method tor
bringing about the desired uniformity.
The American Bar Association has
done much 10 awaken public senti-
ment in the matter and with the CO.
operation of the bar associations of the
different States it is hoped that the de-
sired legislative action may be brought
about within reasonable time.
Another subject in which the com
missioners on uniform State laws are
interested is a new bill Of fading to put
an end to what the shippers term the
gross frauds which they declare have
made bills of lading an unsafe instru-
ment OF credit. The commercial inter-
ests have been trying for the pastthree
years to compel the carriers to issue
order to differentiate between the or
binary receipt and the more i'm portant
"order'' bill which is used as a basis Of
credit in h transportation Of the
country's crops, particularly the cot
ton and grain crops OF the South and
West and manufactured products. A
committee representing a OF
the great commercial bodies of the
country is here to confer on the matter
with the commissioners on uniform
laws and it is expected that the confer
ence Of he commissioners will draft a
new bill to be introduced at the next
session of Congress.
