The following remarkable statement

The following remarkable statement
vas recently made by l.. T. Cooper.
1t concerns the preparation which has
Em~D so widely discussed throughout
ghs country during the past year, and
has sold in such enormous quantities
in leading cities:
1T is now a well-known fact that
wherever | have introduced my New
Discovery medicine, hundreds of peo-
S{e have brought internal parasites,
or tnpeworms, to me. In many cases
these people aid not know the nature
xt the parasite, and were consequently
extremely nervous until ] explained
ttR matter to them. In some cities 80
many have had this experience that
nhs public generally became alarmed.
& take this opportunity Of explain
ne what these creatures are, and what
4 cave learned about them in the past.
~"rapeworms are much more com
uIor than would be supposed. j ven
turr 10 say that ten per cent. Of all
chronic stomach trouble, or what is
ks0wn as a rundown condition, is
xaused by them. An individual may
suffer for years with one of these great
parasites and not be aware Of 1t.

lied if the process of making below
referred to is a success. The report
states that in testing the fuels being
used by the government. the United
States geological survey has sue
ceeded in developing the b%riquetted
form of coal to such an extent that it
promises to be an important factor
in conserving the rapidly diminishing
fuel supply of the country.
There is every promise that the
mountains of waste coal seen about
every coal mine and the low grade
coal that is now being left in the
mines will be turned into millions Of
horsepower and for domestic heating
and locomotive use thruout the coun-

more than two years by the govern

b%riquets not only burns with little
smoke, but also evaporates more
steam and produces more power under
the same boiler than does the same
amount of coal. These briquets are
made by taking the waste or slack
coal and mixing it with sufficient pitch
so that the coal will hold together, the
whole being pressed into blocks or
cakes by machinery.

grade Of lump coal. This difference
is 50 great, it is said, that vessels burn
ing briquets instead Of coal will be
able to add from one to two knots per
hour to their usual speed. What this
would mean to one Of the Atlantic
racers is easily seen.
During the last six months. two
prominent railroads of the south have
made trial runs while burning bri-
quets. The Atlantic Coast Line rail
road, after giving the new fuel a
thoro trial on several runs between
Rocky Mount and Wilmington, -. c.,
reported that he ~briquets We're a sue
cess. The official report of the rail
road states that 1900 pounds of coal
were consumed in making 1892 car
miles against 161 $50 pounds of bri-
Quets in making 1886 car miles. The
engine that used coal made up 231
minutes lost time and the engine on
which the briquets were tried made
up 292 minutes. In other words, with
10,720 pounds less of briQuets than
coal, 9S4 car miles We're covered and
81 more minutes of lost time were
made up. This is an apparent econ
Omy of 20 per cent, without taking
into consideration the cost Of the
briquets.

In describing the results of the
tests the road foreman reported
This coal burns UP entirely. leaving
no dirty fire at the end of each trip
