Watts replied that he was on his

his four prisoners attracted hundred

Two Arbor Days in Illinois in the
Future. Governor Deneen Proc1aims

In the future Illinois will have two
days for tree planting officially desig-
mated as Arbor day and Bird day
This is provided for in q proclama-
ton issued by Governor Deneen desig-
mating Friday. April "a and Friday,
Oct. %, as the day for arboreal cere-
monies.
The reason for choosing two days,
as explained by the governor in his
proclamation. is that a date in the
spGing cannot &c fixed that is suitable
for both the northern and southern
parts of the state. The day most suit
able for planting will therefore be used
in parts of the state where it is most
suitable. In his proclamation, the
governor says:
81 urge that village and city authori-
ties, school boards. teachers and pu-
pills of the public schools and owners
of homes observe one of these days
by planting trees, shrubs, vines and
flowers, and that public exercises be
held to encourage the love and care
of trees.
Especially do urge the observance
of one of these days by the public
schools. that we may be no longer
cEagrined by lie fact that there are

HOW HE HAS
MADE A SUCCESS
L. T. Cooper Tells Chicago Reporter Why He
Accomp1ishes so Much.

No man in recent years has been
more successful in restoring human
health than l.. T. Cooper During his
stay in Chicago, and while he was
meeting thousands of people daily. he
gave the following reason for the re-
markable demand for his medicine to
a reporter:
Mr.. Cooper sf id: MY New Discov-
cry is successful because it corrects
the stomach My theory is that few
can be sick if the digestive apparatus
is working properly. 1t naturally fol-
lows that few can be well with a poor
digestion.
Il know from experience that most
of the tired. half-sick people that are
so common nowadays have half-sicli
stomacls. Put the stomach in shape
and nature does the rest. The result
is general good health. My medicine
does this. That is why $4,000 people
here in Chicago are using it who never
heard of ME until q month ago..
Among the $4,000 mentioned by Mr.
Cooper who used his medicine in Chi
cago is Mrs. Hilda Pfueger, living at
1903 Ainslie avenue. This is the state
ment she makes concerning her exper
fence with the medicine:

Il am very thankful TO Mr.. Cooper
