pie who are now strong believers in Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs. Julia Hofflicker, living at BIO Ussie avenue, Canon City, Colo. Mrs Hoff- flicker says:
 For seven years suffered from in- digestion and stomach trouble. was subject to frequent attacks of severe sick headache. I had to be very par ticular as to the kind of food I ate could not eat vegetables of any kind, nor anything sweet; and even then I would be in distress after meals Any food of a solid nature caused a feel. Ing of heaviness after eating.
 "I tried everythinsI could hear of, and took many different remedies with out benefit. Finally I heard of the Cooper remedies and obtained a treat ment of Cooper's New Discovery.
 'T never in my life found a medi- cine so helpful. The first bottle put my digestive organs into good condi- ton, allaying the pain in my stomach as we'll as relieving the severity of the headaches to a very large extent Since taking a thorough course of this medicine my trouble has entirely dis- appeared, headaches and all, and I never felt better in my life
 T would not be without Cooper's New Discovery in my house. Anyone who is suffering In any way from stomach trouble should not hesitate in giving 1t a trial"
 The Cooper remedies are sold by all druggists everywhere. A sample bottle of Cooper's New Discovery mailed free upon request by address ing The Cooper Medicine Company, Dayton. ohio.

NEW THEORY SPREADS
 RAPIDLY OVER COUNTRY
Colorado Woman Gives Reasons For Her
 Abiding Faith ln Cooper.

l. T. Cooper's theory concerning the human stomach. is being given more respect and comment every day.
 Cooper claims that 70 per cent of all All health Is due to stomach trouble. When interviewed about this theory recently. he said; Stomach trouble Is the great curse of the goth century so far as the civilized races are concerned. Practically all of the chronic III health of this generation is caused by abnor- nal 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 fru- gal existence from the soil, the tired droopy. half-slck people that are now so common, did not exist.
 TO be sure, there was sickness in those days but it was of viruIent character, and only temporary. There was none of this half-sick condition all the time with which so many are af- flicted now w-a-dayA
 T 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. It lacks tone and strength. This weakness has gradually come through q 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- cause my New Discovery medicine tones the stomach up to required strength in about six weeks time. That is why have had more people come and thank me wherever I have gone to Introduce my medicine, than I have had time to talk with

MOBILE PROHI CASES
SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS ARE
 NOW EXPECTED.
Defendants May Prosecute Members of Law and order League for Buy ing Liquor-JThree Cases
 Dismissed.

Mobile, April 15.-Sensational devel- opments are expected to follow the prosecution of the alleged vicsators or the prohibition laws of the State, which were taken up this morning in the Inferior Court here.
 Only one of the twenty odd cases was called for hearing. In this case Charles Schimpf, the defendant. waived examination demanding jury trial.
 During the hearing of evidence of the prosecution the witnesses being detectives, 1t was suggested that the men were hired to secure evidence. It was intimated that the law would be enforced against witnesses who, &C., cording to the provisions of the pros hibition statutes, are equally guilty for buying as is the one who disposes of the prohibitive goods.
 The State asks for dismissals in the cases of E. M. Johnston and Com pany, the Battle House Company and Hervey Hotel Company.
 Several of the others demanded jury trials but under the sameS agreement the Schimpf case was tried and the evidence was taken.
 It is understood, that all the de- fendants will waive examination in the inferior court and demand a jury trial. The defendants as they now stand are
 
 Baxter. w. J. Farrell. A. Konstanzer, Charles Schimpf, J. B. Webster, W. V. Pearson. Peter Venturini,, Frank Kup- persmiths Reub Nash and Frank Schtmpf.
 The indications are that before the courts are through with the hearing of the cases against the near beer deal CTS charged with selling spirituous, vinous. or malt liquors. Mobile will have a sensation which will set the whole town by the ears.
 None of the cases against the twen- ty-one dealers for whom warrants were sworn out were tried in the in- ferior court today but 1t was plain from the attituSe of the attorneys for the defendants that in all likelihood, warrants for the detectives who pro- cured the evidence in the cases will be sworn out. charging them with violat- ing the prohibition law themselves, and it may be, too. that some of the mem bers of the Law and Order League will be compelled to answer to the same charge in court.
 The law in the matter makes the party buying liquor equally as guilty as the one who sells 1t. and 1t appears to be the plan Of the attorneys for the defense to proceed with this in view
 The witnesses today admitted hay ing bought and drank whiskey.

MAKERS OF JUDGES.

HERE is nothing to prevent this man or
- that man from calling a meeting, informal
or otherwise. of citizens to indorse this or that
lawyer for appointment to the judiciary. Evi-
IDENTIFY we arc TO have no end Of slate making by
outsiders before Governor sPennewill announces
his choice.
# the slate writing keeps on the lawyer who
is not put one slate another for Chancel-
lor will have to acknowledge that he is of lit
tie importance. Judicial honors are being show
cred in every direction. Every attorney will be

nation. And after the judges have been APP
pointed VIC presume that about sixty per cent OF
the slate makers will 90 to manufacturing crazy
quilts for which their fanciful selection of judges
fits them.
According to Democratic reports various Re
publican politicians are busy making judicial
states
The only point is whether Governor Penne-
will will listen to them. The Democratic reports
saw that these politicians want a bench named
having in mind the disposal of cases that may
be tried under the ant-bribery provision of the
constitution Assuming for the moment this to
be correct, the politicians must have poor opin-
ion of Governor Pennewill if they believe that
he would prostitute the appointment OF the
judiciary to such purposes. We fancy the Gov
ernor has more self-respect and deeenoy than
some people give him credit for, and we feel sure
that he does not intend to damage the Repubi-
can party of this State.
If the political workers are taking eNtraordi-
nary interest in the appointment of the new
Judges, isn't it about time that others-business
men for example-should express their opinions
ON this matter Remember that the judges will
be appointed for long term OF years, that the
Judges are practically autocrats and that an un-
fit bench would be an intolerable and grievous
afhction upon the people of this State. If Gov
ernor Pennewill should make a serious mistake
in the appointment of the judiciary it would
mean that the Republicans would lose the next
Legislature.

AT MY OF MEN
FOR CENSUS WORK

WASHINGTON. April 24.-Plans for
the taking of the 18th census have
been completed and the Bureau of the
Census soon will begin the organiza-
tion Of an army of $1,000 enumerators
and $50 supervisors. There will be
between $500 and 1000 extra celrks en-
gagged for the work OF compilation.
The supervisors, who will be ap-
pointed by the President on the recon-
mendation Of the congressional dele
gates, viii be paid $500 a year and 81
for every thousand citizens enrolled.
The enumerators are 10 get 2 cents a
name for every one they turn in. This
method Of payment it is believed, will
result in greater activity on the part
of enumerators. The actual work IN
the field will be started April 10. 1910.
II is estimated that the census will
cost the taxpayers not less than s14,-
100000.
