Those .Wrights.
(From Woman's National Daily. }

\fTOm woman NatlOnaI Dally.)
The Wright brothers, aeronauts,
are exceedingly cautious men. Per-
haps they have been reading history
and have learned therefrom how
Columbus and his egg, Fulton and
his. steamboat and other pioneers Of
progress and their inventions have
'Seen received by an always suspici-
pus public. Perhaps they are try
ing to educate the public gradually
TO appreciate them. We cannot say
as to this, but 1t is nevertheless quite
certain that they are conducting
their aeroplane experiments to suit
themselves and not to suit anxious
government officials who desire to
use them as lever for obtaining an
appropriation for aeronautic expert
mentation from congress. The
Wrights have several times disap-
pointed large audiences by refusing
to- attempt to make flights when con-
ditiOns were not favorable or when
their machine was not in satisfactory
shape. They have been greatly crit
iciZed ON this account. On one oc-
casion when one Of the brothers de-
parted from Fort Meyer unexpected
ly- while congressman were waiting
to see a test made of the Wright ma
chine, the young men were particu-
larry abused in certain quarters.
But the satisfactory feature is that
they have not permitted criticism to
! change their policy. In the barlance
Of the street urchin, they are "p!ay-
ing safe" They owe it to them
! selves to do this. They owe TITO
the public. Their policy extends to
the point Of rigidly enforcing their
| determination not to make Joint
| flights. They fly alone, or, If ac-
companied, their companions are al,

all Of this caution will be found not
to have been in vain. There Is al
ways the chance Of AN accident in
experimental work.. such as the
Wrights have undertaken, and they
are doing only ,whaREsane men Should
be expected to do in taking every
precaution in their power against
such accident. But credit Is due
them particularly, not so much be-
cause they have adopted a precau-
tionary policy, as because they have

Eastman, Ca, July 23.-King Green,
a Negro, had offended the Misses
Nicholson, daughters Of Samuel Mich
olson, respected citizen of Eastman.
The Negro did not lay his hands on
either OF the young women. He did
not make any threats OF doing SO,
but he did grab the reins tof their
horse and declared that the horse and
the buggy in which they were seated
belonged to him and that he intended
to have them. The women screamed,
and the Negro quite mis- hold on their
horses head and escaped.
Dogs were placed upon his trail,
and after run Of several hours he
was captured by the sheriff and his
deputies. On their return they were
intercepted by crowd Of 200 citizens
and the Negro was shot to death.

determined to run no risk by lack Of
firmness in dealing with such cases. y

ONLY ONE WAY TO RETAIN
GOOD HEALTH, SAYS COOPER

L. T. Cooper's theory regarding the
human stomach is rapidly becoming a
topic of universal discussion. Cooper
claims that the human stomach has be-
come chemically deranged by modern
conditions. and that sickness generally
is the result
In a recent interview, while intro
ducing his medicine in a leading city,
Mr.. Cooper said: There is just one
way, in my opinion, to maintain gen.
eral health, and that is by building up
the digestive organs. The vast major
ity of Americans today have weak,
flabby, distended stomachs. This has
been caused by many generations Of
Overlooking and lack of exercise, I'M
til today the entire civilized race Is af-
fected. This is the true cause of most
of the Ill health of today. Little can
be done to relieve it until the stomach
is once more brought back to normal
condition
81 am successful because my prepar-
alton puts the stomach in sound con-
dition, and l maintain this is the only
way to secure general and permanent
good health
Among those who have become
firm believers in Mr.. Cooper's theory
and medicines through personal test
of his claims is Mrs. Anna Maring of
Dennison. Clark county, Illinois, who
lives on Rural Route No. j, Box 81.
Mrs. Maring says: For years l have
suffered agony from stomach trouble.
