SOME Big CROWDS ARE CON-

Cooper Says General Sale Has Made No Differ
ence In Number of Callers.

Although his much discussed medicine
is now on sale at all druggists in New
York, there has apparently been no let-up
in the crowds tina are calling at tie
store where Cooper is meeting the public.
In speaking Monday of his extraordin-
airy success ia New York, Cooper said
THE majority of tho people who are now
calling to get nay medicine have been
sent here by friends. There's nothing tho
matter with nine out of ten people who
are in poor health but stomach trouble.
brought about by overlooking and little
outdoor exercise. I can prove this in n
few weeks to anyone who tries Cooper's
New Discovery. As soon as l have proved
It and they no longer feel tired and duh
and nervous they tell their friends about
it, and that beats anything l could say
on the subject.
IT thought when I put my medicine on
sale generally in New York there would
be a let-up at this store, but apparently
there are just as many calling TO talk with
me as ever. People have not yet realized
they can get the medicine wherever they
choose. I shall continue to meet the pub
lie at this store during the rest OF my
stay in New York"
Among statements made for publication
on Monday by New Workers who are
strongly in favor of Cooper's theory and
medicine was the following by Mrs
Charles Trensch. of 81 Debrosses street,
who said: Nc one who has had such an
experience as my husband and myself with
this New Discovery medicine could helr

fifteen years constant sickness, and my
husband is also in perfect health after

this winter.
MY trouble has been indigestion and
rheumatism. ! was so generally rundown
and suffered greatly from nervousness. I
also had palpitation of tho heart. caused
by gas that would form in my stomach
as soon as l ate anything. 1t is impoJ-
sible TO describe how miserable l have
been all these years or how hard l have
tried to get well. When l got this meil-
cine my health was completely shattered.
My husband had violent stomach trouble
for n year. 1t got 50 bad this winter that
he had swelling of the joints and limos.
When I first brought the meuicine home
he said that 1 was foolish, as 1t would do
me no good. After l had taken it for two
weeks 1 was so much better that ne got
some and started taking it. He got better
faster than I. In two weeks he was eating
big meals and the swelling had all gone
away. 1t took four weeks before the
rheumatism and nervousness left me al
though l ate and felt better at the end of
the first week. | am now perfectly we'll;
I eat heartily and have no gas in my

He says he feels ten years younger. We

Trustees smooth Over DiFerencea
with Students.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Feb. A-(spe-
cial.)-The recent unpleasantness at the
Grand Island college has been overcome
and matters have been harmonized by a
report OF a committee OF the board of trus-
tees. made to the students at chapel. in
which II is stated that the board. while
finding that the president may at times
have erred In some respects. is compelled
to express its continued confidence In him
and the hope tht the students may realize
the responsibility of his position and that
his heart has ever been with the welfare
Of the Institution. 1t assured the protest
ing students that It would take IN the
case anew at any time there was justifi-
cation therefor. The report was received
with a demonstration of approval by the
overwhelming majority of the student
body. Mr.. Ehler. the student who had
previously been expelled, remains so: five
OF the ten students who threatened to
leave the institution were no change made
nave done so, the other five re-enrollInR.
Two others have departed for their homes.
for reasons, however, foreign TO the con-
troversy. Prof. Sutherland following the
report of the board, addressed the students
In a conciliatory manner and 1t is believed
that complete harmony will prevail hence
forth.

LINCOLN, Feb. 3-Editor The Bee: The
Dill for an act to provide for the quail
fication and registration Of graduate nurses
before the legislature, can in no way be
construed to apply TO any person nursing
the sick for hire who does not in any way
assume TO be a registered nurse.
The bill does not enter into the subject
OF prices paid to nurses either graduates
or n~on-graduates. Similar enactments have
been made by fifteen of the leading states
and several others have the matter under
Amusement at the present time. Japan,
England, Ireland, Scotland and Australia
have such laws governing the education and
registration OF nurses.
The bill provides that a nurse who wishes
to become a registered nurse shall have at
least two years training in a general hos
pital. 1t is the duty OF every nurse who
enters the profession OF nursing to keep
from 1t all undesirable elements. She must
keep her individual standard high lest 1t
reflect upon the profession at large, and
she also assumes a moral obligation to
keep the profession clean and pure and true
lest II reflect upon the Individual mem
bers. Nursing the sick should be to the
nurse more than a mere trade or job for
commercial returns. 1t is a calling which
requires special attaInments OF mental,
moral and physical strength, and the train
Ing and control of every faculty.
Efficiency does not come from instinct
alone; 1t consists in an understanding OF
ones work, a fitness for the performance
Of that work, watchfulness for and prep
aration to meet the accidents of that work.
To these qualities must be added a vigil
lance which never sleeps, a patience that
Is untiring, a sympathy that is inexhaust-
lble and a tact that can cope with the most
trying and complex situations"
This bill Is a measure which vitality con-
Germs the educational interests of our state,
having a well, a broad and general bearing
upon national education and efficiency.
1t gives a chance for all who desire to
qualify for registration as nurses.
1t raises the standard Of training schools
throughout the state.
1t attracts to the most sacred work OF
caring for the sick, young women OF intelli-
gence. high ideals and morals.
II supplies the demand OF good hospitals
with good pupil nurses.
Should the bill fail to pass in Nebraska
there would be a tendency for the qualified
nurses TO seek states which provide for a
legal status among nurses.
|. The standard OF training schools in the
state would be affected and pupil nurses
desiring TO become registered nurses would
seek training in the schools of states where
such provisions is made, thus seriously az.
fecting the work Of the hospitals and the
care of the sick in our state.
The bill therefore has a moral, social and
educational bearing. as we'll as an influence
on public health, which should not be over
looked. LILLIAN b. STUFF,

a temporary injunction against the city
council restraining them from granting a

There was sent from the city hall In

night official notification that there will

Douglas county delegation does not stand
up to the rack on the occupation tax and
regulation by council Of public service cor

beck has had taken away from him one Of
the principal excuses his friends were urg-
ing i'm his behalf as a candidate for mayor.
A few days ago Comptroller Lobeck de-
clsred in an Interview in The Bee that IL
Mayor Dahlman did not declare. for the
occupation tax ordinances he would, and
would make q campaign for mayor on that
Issue. Now comes the mayor and heads a

are expected to head in at. When the leg

OMAHA, Feb. A-To the Douglas County
Delegation Nebraska Legislature, Lincoln,
Neb.-Gentlemen: We, the mayor, city Off
cials and members of the Omaha city coun-
against any legislation which looks toward
eliminating from the Omaha city charter
or the laws OF Nebraska the right anu au-
thority of the city council to regulate pub
lie service corporations. or to impose such
an occupation tax upon as will in their
judgment be just and equitable.
We believe that any action which tends
toward the elimination of this power from
the city council is a backward step In the
sacred doctrine of home rule for the city of
Omaha, and that any action by the legts-
lature at this time will be considered as a
detrimental action against the interests of
the present city administration who have
this most vital question before us for con-
sideration, investigation and action.
We therefore urge upon you that you OPP
pose in every way the proposed action by
your votes and influence. Very respect
