1t may truthfully be said of the
American people that they are more
than apt to go very thoroughly thru
the maZes and ramifications of prob
lens which please and appeal to
them. 1t may be even further assert
ed without fear of successful con-
trovNsion. that once headed into
such mazes of such labyrinths, they
are not apt to stop short of the bot
tom or some serious and insur-
mountable obstacle.
Just now the public health is
threatening to become a fad, If, in
deed, 1t has not become a fad with
many of the most brilliant minds in
the medical profession In America.
We are being told things we never
heretofore dreamed of. and daily
there is being pointed out to US Turk
ing places of danger and disease and
death which lead us to wonder in
helpless amazement that any of us
mental exercise Many of our habits
of life are being fairly plastered
over with danger signals, while our
amusements and our sources of ex-
istence are being laid bare in all
their fear-compellng dangers.
The learned men who are inter-
t;v,ry . hny, cat,r in, n
sowing broadcast and many seed will
no doubt fall upon barren ground.
But there can be no questioning the
fact that as a nation we have been
immensely benefited by the informa-
ton these nnselfish devotees of the
science of living have fairly thrust
upon us Not content with mere
scientific data as to cause and effect
these men have gone so thoroughly
into the question of the toll death
demands through preyentable dis
ease that their figures are startling
Long accustomed to regard human
life cheaply, in the abstract, it was
difficult for us 10 grasp the truth
when we were told the income of
undertakes could be cut in twain
by compliance with we'll established
rules of health. But few people are
interested in the profits of the UNI
dertaking business, and it is not go
ing too far TO declare that every I'M
dertaker would delghtedly ex-
change his fat profits for everlasting
life for his fellows. But having for
so long paid this tribute, we submit
to IL as we submit to the tariff and
other taxes, fondly hoping and blind
Iy believing the other fellow paid 1t
anyhow. When, however, with wis

scientific gentlemen left the realm
of science and descended into the
habitat of finance as represented by
dollars and cents. we all began to sit

Among the immense numbers Of pe0-

Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs.
M. E. Delano, prominent resident OF
the suburb Of Brookline, Boston, Mass.
She says: "F'or several years l was

stomach and nerve troubles. I gradu-

compelled to go without solid food for
days at time. I had sour stomach,
palpitation Of the nerves Of stomach

L. T. Cooper's theory concerning the
human stomach, which he claims to
prove with his new medicine, is being
given more respect and comment every
day.
Cooper claims that 80 per cent. of
all i'll health Is due to stomach trouble.
When interviewed about his theory re-
Gently, he said: Stomach trouble is
the great curse of the Goth century
SO far as the civilized races are con-
cerned. Practically all of the chronic
i'll health Of this generation is caused
by abnormal stomachic conditions. In
earlier days, when the(human race was
closer to nature, and men and women
worked all day out Of doors, digging
their frugal existence from the soil,
the tired, droopy, half-sick people that
are now so common, did not exist.
ITO be sure, there was sickness in
those days, but it was of a virulent
character, and only temporary. There
was none of this half-sick condition
all the time with which so many are
afflicted nowadays. -..
81 know positively that every bit of
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stomach
in civilized people today is degenerate.
1t lacks tone and strength. This weak.
ness has gradually come through a
sedentary existence. I, further know
that few people can be sick with the
digestive apparatus in perfect shape.
The sole reason for my success is be:

A Virginian's Tribute
to Robert E. Lee.

No man ever commanded more ab-
solutely the love and trust of his sol
diers than Robert e. Lee. Their de-
votion was not that of the reckless
followers of Napoleon 1t was Ike
the love and trust of children for a
father. He rode and walked and
talked among them like a farmer with
his sons. They knew his great mind
planned for their safety as well as
their glory; they knew he was fault
lessly brave; absolutely free from
personal designs; that his heart and
soul were wrapt up in them; that ne
shared their triumphs and their suffer-
ings as truly as if he were private
soldier.
Lees place in the Virginian heart
is next to Washington, whom he
much resembled-in some things even
ahead Of Washington. There was
more loye in Lees composition than
in Washihgton's.
I count it an inestimable privilege
that i knew this great man-not as an
equal or an intimate, OF course, but as
a very humble and a very insignifi--
cant young person who was allowed
to touch the hem of his garment.
I know all the other great military
leaders Of that period-Grant, john
ston, Sherman, Sheridan-had many
opportunities to observe them in pub
lie and in private. None of them
impressed me as.did General Lee. Pos
sibly was partial, but I do not think
so. About that war am philoso-
pher. It was inevitable, and the men
on both sides were equally sincere
and equally entitled to respect:
Neither victory nor defeat decided
the question who was the, greatest
soldier. History must decide that
upon the facts, viewed without bias
when all passion has subsidized.
With the same satisfaction l feel
that have viewed the Rockies, Nj
agara, the boundless pillows of mid
ocean y, the starry vault Of heaven
amidst inanimate things; thank God
that 1 was permitted to see Robert E.
Lee among men. All these represent
the best that nature can produce

After Tweuty-Nine Years.

"For twenty mine years have been
at intervals a great sufferer from
rheumatism. writes James Hyde, of
Beebe, Ark. During that time I
used gallons of various kinds of ini-
ments and oils, but got very little
relief. The attacks were 50 bad that
I was often confined to my bed help
less for weeks and months at time.
"Not long ago, while suffering from
a severe attack, sample bottle of
Sloan's Liniment was sent to me for
trial. My surprise was great when I
found that it gave me instant relief,
and Immediately ordered two large
bottles. T have used about half of
one fifty-cent bottle, and feel 50 well
that I want every body afflicted as I
was to know what Sloan's Liniment
has done for me, and I shall always
have a feeling of gratitude for the
man who sent me the sample bottle"
