STOMACH CENTER OF HUMAN

For several years." says Mr. Turk,

rundown condition. After eating
would bloat, and be in pain and dis
tresS for several hours. An all-gone
feeling would come over me, and
had no energy nor ambition whatever.
This condition continued for a long
time. although 1 took treatment from
several good physicians, and tried
number of patent remedies. without
relief.
ION reading of Mr.. Cooper's
theory I became convinced that he
was right, and procured several bot
ties of his New Discovery preparation.
in order to test his claims. 1t afforded
prompt relief, and when 7 had taken
three bottles. my trouble had disap-
peared and l was feeling like a diff
ferent man. To make my restoration
sure [ took two more bottles of the
New Discovery. 1t has now been sew
eral months since / stopped taking
the Cooper medicine, and 7 have ex-
perienced no pain or distress in that
time, although 1 eat anything I wish.
1.-THE medicine also relieved me of
chronic constipation and piles, the
latter having bothered me for many
years. Cooper's New Discovery is a
wonderful preparation and l recon-
mend it to any one suffering from
stomach trouble"

The success which has followed L.
T. Cooper during the past year with
his new preparation, Cooper's New
Discovery, is unparalleled. Cooper has
a novel theory. He believes that the
human stomach is directly responsible
for most disease. To quote his own
words from an interview upon his ar
rival in an eastern city: 1.-THE aver
age man or woman cannot be sick II
the stomach is working properly TO
be sure; there are diseases of a vir-
ulent nature, such as cancer, tuber-
culosis, diabetes, etc, which are or
ganic, and are not traceable to the
stomach, but even fevers can, in nine
cases out of ten, be traced to some
thing taken into the stomach All of
this half-sick, nervous exhaustion
that is now so common, is caused by
stomachic conditions, and it is because
my remedy will and does regulate the
stomach that l am meeting with such
success.
ITO sum the matter up-a sound
digestive apparatus that is doing its
full duty. getting every particle of vi
tally out of all food by transferring
it to the bowels in a perfectly digested
state-this above all else brings
health
The following unsolicited endorse
ment comes from J. L. Turk, living at
915 Locust street, Vincennes, Ind. Mr.
Turk is we'll known throughout the
Ohio and Mississippi valleys. He is
now sixty-eight years of age, and
claims his general health is better
than for some time past.

Robbers Secured $500 in Cash and
Left No Clues.

F'redonia, Kan. May CHARLES
Mcdonald. a hardware merchant of

robbed of $500 Wednesday night about
IL O'Clock as he was leaving his store.
Mcdonald was hit on the back of

dazed-
1t is known that he was in Fredonia
Tuesday and received 500 in cash from
the sale of a blacksmith shop which
he owned here. arriving home in Coy
vile after the Coyville bank had
closed. He says he had only about
$500 when robbed.
While Mcdonald was in the Philip

FARMERS FIGHT PRAIRIE FIRE.
One Thousand Acres of Grass Land
Burned Over Near Oak HILL

Oak Hill, Kan. May THE north
east corner of Oakland township was
burned over Tuesday and many tons
of hay destroyed, not to mention fences
and such other burnable property as is
found in a grazing country. The fire
started about O'Clock in the morning
near the Gunter place, the wind taking
it toward the northeast. Along toward
noon the shifting of the breeze toward
the west changed the course of the fire
and sent it east at a rapid rate 1t was
finally stopped after a hard aIl-day
fight.
There were perhaps hundred men
engaged in the work of fighting the
flames and driving stock from the
threatened sections. A stretch of about
four miles was burned over in a sort of
three cornered shape.
1t so happened that there were no
residences in the path of the fire, or
the loss would have undoubtedly been
much greater, for there was no head
ing it off. 1t was just like an old
fashioned prairie fire and was the first
of its size that our people have been
called upon to fight for many years.
There were, perhaps, thousand
acres burned over The loss will be
principally in the setback given the
summers grazing. 1t will probably
| make difference of more than a
month

ALL PARALYSIS.
NOT HOPELESS
This Man Had n Form That Was
Durable and There Are
Hundreds of Cases
Like His.

There are still people who say that
n form of partial paralysis can be
cured.
If you have partial paralysis or
some other severe nervous disorder,
do YOU think it is better to be treated
by someone who insists that you are
incurable, or to take treatment that
grateful patients throughout the
United States testify has cured them =
There are several forms of paralysis
that are durable by the tonic treat
ment with DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and remarkable proof of the fact that
the disease can be cured is found in
the case of Mr.. J. B. Stinson. of No.
174O Madison avenue. Kansas City,
Mo. He thus describes what he con-
siders a miraculous cure:
I'm November, 1903, I was taken
sick with severe pains through my
chest and in the regions of my heart.
The pains became gradually worse.
one morning, while working in the
field, I was taken with worse pains
than ever and before l could get back
to the house. my legs seemed to be
paralyzed and 1 could just hobbIe
along and had to be helped up the
stems. 1 was in bed for over two
years and so helpless that 1 had to be
turned over. was completely
paralyzed from just below my heart
down. I had not a particle of feeling
in this part of my BODY. wasted
away until was just skin and bones
NV appetite was good. My kidneys
were affected and 1 had no control
over them. During the time was IN
bed two years, was nervous
wreck and perfectly helpless.
''I was living at Lees Summit, Mo-,
during my sickness and was treated
by two doctors Both said that my
case was paralysis. Their medicine
I could not live. A friend sent me
clipping from a paper giving cure
of a case similar to mine by Dr. VIII
liams' Pink Pills and began their
use soon after. L took the pills Tor
sounetime before L was satisfied that
they were helping me. 1 then began
TO have some control of my kidneys
and bowels. 1 was finally able TO get
around in a wheel chair and con-
tinued to gain until I was able TO
walk with a cane. Like child, had

now without any effort and no one

AFTER BIG GAME.
C. NJ. Bacon Wants License to
Shoot Speeding AutOists.
Wants to Carry Gun to Protect
His People and Property.
NO LICENSE is ISSUED.
Says THAT Savonburg Drivers
Don't Give a Rap"
Season on Automobiles Not
Open Until October IS.
NO LICENSE is ISSUED.

lola Kan, May &c. NJ. Bacon
wants a license to carry gun. He
sent a check for 81 to the county
clerk so that when he goes abroad on
the public highways like a walking
arsenal the officers cannot arrest him.
He wants to protect his people and
his property he writes. and in order
to do so he must have the authority
to carry a gun, and as just carrying
one will not aid him any-except in
stiff bluffs-he evidently wants to use
it.
Autos Go Too Fast to Suit Him.
His pet aversion is the speeding
automobilists. They go too fast, they
are too reckless, there are men in
Savonburg who don't give a cuss"
whether they scare stock or not and
Mr.. Bacon wants to make them come
to time. His letter to the county clerk
follows and it partially explains why
he wants to go about armed:
please find inclosed check for 81.
1 want a license to carry gun on
the public highway to stop autos so
1 can pass. One passed my house
last Sunday and ruined fine colt
for me. 1 sent my boy after a span
of horses and their colt met them in
the road and they turned and ran
back into the pasture. They ran up
horse threw him and then jumped
the fence and one colt ran into the
wire. The boy tried to stop them,
but they kept right on. 1 want. to
defend my people and property

is a lot of fellows at Savonburg that

Applicant Owns Stock Farm.
Mr.. Bacon runs the Bacon avenue
stock farm near Moran. He is a
breeder of all-purpose horses He
has wearled of seeing the fast flying
machines whirling past his home
without regard to the fact that his
horses are not city broke and do not
understand. and naturally resents
the invasion of their time honored
right of carrying people about.
1t will be observed that Mr.. Bacon
doesn't say that he will shoot the
motor drivers. He may only want to
carry the gun to bluff them. But
suppose they do not halt when he
calls loudly to them. Then. pre-
sumably, he will take a few shots in
| the air to attract their attention and
make them be good.
Mr.. Culbertson has no authority

mobilists. 1t is, the officers say, the

way, and even if given a license he
