The terrible destructiveness OF this
disease Is apparent on every side OF
us. Almost nine out OF ten OF the Grip
pies one meets had their affection
brought ON by rheumatism. How many
thousands more there are that are
hopelessly bed.ridden and whom we
never see. Rheumatism. from the
very nature OF the disease, can never
cure itself and II neglected is bound

During L. T. Cooper's recent visit to
Chicago, where his new preparation
and theory created the usual sensation,
many hundreds OF people brought
enormous internal parasites to the
young man, which had left the system
after taking his medicine.
Among these people was Mr.. Emil
Winkler, who brought to Cooper q
tapeworm that proved to be over
ninety feet in length. Mr. Winkler,
who resides at 1872 East Ohio Street,
Chicago, had this to say OF his expe-

The Republican caucuses through.
out the state Saturday night paid lit
tie or no attention to presidential
preferences. Here and there a caucus
instructed for Taft or Hughes but It
was the exception and not the rule.
1t seems to be pretty generally agreed
that the Vermont delegates should not
be instructed but should be made up
of supporters OF Taft and Hughes In
about equal proportions with the Taft
men ready to vote for Hughes II their
man cannot be nominated and vice
versa. The Taft sentiment in Yer.
mont has been growing rapidly during
the past month and we are convinced
that a considerable majority of the
Republican voters in the state are for

to see contest precipitated In the
convention even II we knew that a
