COOPER PLACES PREPARA-
TION ONSALE EVERYWHERE
Will Continue to Meet Public as Heretofore i'm Spite
of Change.

The sale of the Cooper preparation
in New York will no longer be confin-
ed to the one store where Cooper has
been meeting the public. For the past
week Cooper says more people have
called to talk with him than could be
taken care of at one store and he has
therefore decided on a change of
plans.
In speaking of this change he said:
Il have realized for some time that
would have to relieve the congestion
at this store, as the number of people
who call has been increasing each
day, until it is almost impossible to
see them all, especially at certain
hours in the day. Beginning Satur-
day, my preparation will be on sale
at all drug stores in Greater New
York
by Saturday most druggists will
have the medicine in stock and those
who have not obtained it can easily
order it for their customers. / shall
continue to meet the public daily as
heretofore.
1.-The name of the medicine which
| is proving so successful is Cooper's
| New Discovery. 1t is success be-
cause it revitalizes wornout, sluggish,
distended stomachs, and causes the
gastric juices to become active again

stomach is responsible for all these

st. Paul, Mimi. April Sin the
face of the written protest of $4,000
people, in spite of the resolute pro-
tests of the University of Minnesota
and the state agricultural college, and
in the face of overwhelming opposition
from a dozen nearby colleges and
schools, Armour & Co. have main
tanned their grip on the Minnesota leg

vent the erection of his new plant two
miles from st. Paul's choicest resi-

in the first stage of the greatest fight
Minnesota has seen in decade, and
it is probable that no further effort
will be seriously made to secure pro-
tective legislation

half-sick people, who are leading a
sedentary life in our large cities.
people in cities like New York
can't take enough exercise in the
fresh air, and they will persist in
hurriedly eating a great deal of food
and only half chewing it, The con-
sequence is that about half of them
are nervous, thin, pale and lacking
in vitality. They have little energy
and no stamina. What they need is
something to make the gastric juices
active and virile. When this is done
they begin to assimilate their food,
which affords them the nourishment
they need and the tired. listless,
wornout feeling disappears. My med
icine does this very thing, that's why
| am successful.
Il have now on file the names and
addresses of 1000 New Workers who
have taken my medicine and stated
that they would be willing to tell
any one who cared to investigate
what effect the preparation has had.

names to any one who does not know

sERGEANr WALsH

Edward Payson Weston is now marching through Kansas on his way to the other sea. The next important station for him is the Rocky mountain metropolis of Denver The old man muscular is going to get to the Pacific on time and make some pin money to boot by his lecturing along the line. He will not be overhauled on the road by Sergeant Walsh who walked from Boston to New Haven and then drop ped out of sight somewhere. The tried and seasoned Weston is going to be
 &le man to make good, after all. If aile sergeant does not slow up pre- sently to give an account of himself there. will be still more people on the map who can harbor a belief in the report that the Walsh record of two hours flat between Norwich and New London was made by the tramper's collusion with speedy trotting horse which very accommodatingly boosted him from Mohegan hill to Quaker Hill. -Holyoke, Mass. Telegram.
 Some men love to be in the limelight so well that they venture beyond their ability and get talked about for their valor. Tey soon drop out of sight and like the Sergeant become difficult to find. Edward Payson Weston never gets lost. It has always been his good luck to lose the other fellow. There is no doubt about Weston, but the Ser geant is a questionable proposition, sill

PORCH AND WINDOW BOXES AND
 FILLING,

However many flowers in garden and yard. such boxes add a necessary touch.
 They can be fitted up at little cost by getting store boxes and painting them.
 Boxes in which house shades are packed may be gotten from your dealer.
 These are about the right size in every way for the average window.
 The most important thing about f1t- ting these receptacles is the drainage.
 An inch of coarse stone screenings the size of chestnut Is the first layer.
 An inch of sand must be placed on this, after which the box is filled with soil.
 This soil must be of the best pot ting" variety, with no green manure in it.
 It must, however, in order to retain moisture, possess large quantity of humos.
 The time to set out boxes in this climate is about the last of May.
 Vio1ets, single and double, pansies, lobelia, linaria and dwarf geranium are suitable occupants.
 Deciduous ferns from the woods are the best backing" for the box.
 Plants of contrasting kind should be placed among the main flower in the box.
 Another plant should likewise be al- lowed to droop down the front.
 The vinca is one of the most suc- cessful of such "droopers."

No TippIna.

Germany appreciates more and more every year the financial benefits ac- cruing from "the tourist industry" and Is especially desirous of attracting American travellers. because they are most lavish of all in their expenditure of money.
 Tourists generally will be interested in the new regulations which are to go into force on the German railways on the first of next month. They are drastic, which Is not an unusual qual- ity in German rules. and on the whole they seem to be just and practical. Tipping of railway employees on trains is prohibited; passengers Siv'-- tips will be punished. The railways will be responsible for passengers baggage for 14 days and at all times respon- sible for luggage lost. Children over 10 years will not be permitted to travel in compartments reserved to women. If a train is full a traveller, although he may have a ticket, may be compelled to wait for the next train. A friend taking leave of traveller and remain ing in the train until 1t moves will have to pay a fine of s1.5o. - Milwaukee Wisconsin.

TIMELY HINTS FOR HER
 WHO WOULD "CLEAN HOUSE

Brooms.
 Old brooms make fine brushes for sinks and are nice for cleanino bed springs and mattresses. Cut off big handle, cut even at both ends tie in two places with strong cord. One broom makes three brushes.
 ClInkers.
 Do not throw away your clam or oyster shells. Dump them into the fire. They act like magic in freeing a grate of clinkers.
 Rugs.
 An old housekeeper who has several choice Oriental rugs. some of light color, seess to the cleaning of them herself They are first swept thor oughly on both sides on the grass of the back yard. Then, if they are light colored, they are covered with corn starch which has small mixture of prepared chalk, and are left for sev- eral hours. At the end of that time they are brushed free from the pow der. shaken well and beaten care fully.
 Dark ones are covered with hard wood sawdust and left over night. The next day they are swept with sua clean broom, and then wiped off with a towel wrung out of hot water.
 "BIoom."
 The bluish cast that comes on high ly polished furniture in damp weather can be removed by wiping the furni- ture with lulkewarm water in which there is a tablespoonful of ammonia to a gallon of water.
 Dry the furniture thoroughly and heat the room, if possible. for the danpness of the room Is what causes it and probably indicates that the room must be dried out in some man nen,

THE NATIONAL ASH HEAP.

The national board of underwriters at their annual meeting in New York last week did not take a very cheerful outlook for the future, for the ravages upon the wealth of the country by fire are twenty times greater than in any other country.
 According to the statistics presented there the average annual extinction of property by fire during the past five years has been s269, ,200,4 ,412, or more than a quarter Of a billion, and nearly quarters of a million daily This does not include the forest fires, which must have footed up more than fifty millions last year. nor the indirect tax upon business and the resources. of the country. The annual cost of main taining fire departments is over S1O7.- 100000 and the water cost chargeable to fire service is more than twice that.
 These figures include some extraor- dinary conhagratlops, but the destruc ton during the last two years has kept well above the two-hundred million mark being $215,0s4,7O9 in 1907 and s21ISs5.85O in 1908, while for the first three months of the present year the losses were nearly fifty three millions. These figures do not include the losses in April. which was the most fiery month of the year thus far.
 What the cities need is better building laws, and a sharper inspection of property as well as high pressure water works and well equipped fire departments. There appears to be no question but one half of our fires are preventable.

THAT'S WHAT IF MUST BE.

The up hill and down of Norwich does not fit a Marathon race; and, yet, it is not likely to make a misflt of it.-Norwich Bulletin.
 Whats the matter with a hill climbing Marathon for Norwich7 One fat old judge used to say that he never went from the court house in the Rose of New England" to his hotel without feeling that he ought to wear a breeching!-Bridgep Stand ard
 This is just what 1t is to be. Does not The Standard know that Norwich runners have strongly developed hill climbing muscles, just as the citizens who have lived for generations along the coast are born web-footed. It Is an open question whether a Mara thon runner of Norwich would be fit ted for level work. The muscles that lift are the ones which are of great est value in Norwich, but what a Marathon runner might loose on the uphill stretch he gains on the down. hill grade. There is no great loss without some small gain.

Brass.

To polish brass trimmings, such as hinges, handles and other ornaments of furniture. without marring the wood during the work, requires that the poll ish shall be beneficial to the wood as well as to ther metal.
 A mixture of half as much naphtha as paraffin oil and enough powdered rotten stone to make soft, thick cream will accomplish the purpose. It should be applied with wool and should cloth.
 Before polishing the last time 1t Is well to make an application of dry rotten stone powder to remove all traces of the naphtha. Unless this is done the brass will tarnish soon.
 Plaster.
 The plaster paris figures which have become dingy may be brushed with a soft brush and then washed with warm soadsuds without injury.
 Wood.
 Natural wood should be freed from all loose dust before cleaning and then may be moistened with oil and tur- pentine or with wood alcohol
 This treatment should be followed by a rubbing with Q dry wooden cloth 10 bring out the polish.
 A woman who found several dents in the hard wood of her dining room wainscoting restored it by laying over each dent thick pad of wet brown paper, wet cloth folded several times over that and then applying a hot iron over all.
 When the pad was about dry it was removed, and if the place still showed 6 mark, the treatment was Eepeated.

A DANGEROUS AND SILLY VEN-

They do not expect that these little things are going to be made public. but they sometimes be Ito the khame and modification of all con- cerned and to the pecuniary loss of the employees.
 The Bulletin was surprised the other day to receive a marked paper from a western state which contained an ex- posture of this kind of four Norwich girls, with their names and full ad- dresses for publication in their home papers. Home papers well managed are not brutal enough for this; but we print below what these thoughtless girls sent west:
 'Aback man, unless thou art a friend of woman. Let no mans hand dehle this board that would not pity us and hear our cry.
 Let him come to us, with love to all and hatred to nonel
 Dying for a man-please cores pondl
 "Oh for a mani
 May you take pity on mel
 Sweet sixteen and never been kiss ed"
 These jolly girls would not want to zee their names printed here as they were in Michigan.
 This method of seeking an affinity is certainly reprehensible and those who did 1t now have occasion to regret their action.
 Let us hope that Norwich girls will be more careful in future; that their good sense will prompt them to be more modest and less venturesome. There really seems to be no need of such questionable method as this for procuring a mate.

PUT STRAWBERRY PLANTS ON
 TABLE.

Strawberry plants bearing few ripe berries are used by some hostesses on the table at luncheon parties or formal breakfasts.
 A little pot and plant at each plate serves as a decoration, as well as pro- vides relish.
 The wild berry, washed by the dews or rain needs no further preparation, but the cultivated kind is not fit to eat without rinsing.
 To do this without breaking the ber- ries or wasting their juices, put them in q colander or wire strainer and dip this Into pan of water.
 Raise and lower the colander several times, allowing the dirt to fall into the pan.
 Never hold the berries in the box or even in the colander, directly under the faucet, and allow the water to fall with force upon them.

DEPARTMENTAL To eUsINEss.

The business of the country realizes that this tariff agitation is, while necessary perhaps, detrimental to bus mess. and the estimate that it Is cost ing the people ten million dollars day is not excessive.
 The manufacturers are naturally getting nervous and some of the for sign nations are so excited over the Tituation that they are openly talking of retaliation
 It is evident that the New England manufacturers are being grossly mis- represented in the debate, and 1t is lot strange that letters are being sent 10 Senators and Congressman request Ing them if they would save the busi- ness of the country to hasten the work. The Hon. Charles M. Jarvis, Vice President of the National Association f Manufacturers has sent the follow nR letter to our Senators and Repre- Jentatives:-
 we believe the long discussion on lhe Tariff question is working detri- mental to the interest of our business. It has been more stegnant since this Tariff question has been brought up md seems to grow worse. It is put ing business to c stand-still, which no loubt Is largely due to the long delay before coming to an agreement.
 Tt Is our earnest wish that you will use your best efforts to bring this dis cussion to close and adjourn, which no doubt will have a great impetus in ltarting up all classes of business in Dur State.
 We heartily agree with Senator AL drich who offered in ths United States Senate an Amendment to the Senate Bill last Friday which contains this clause:
 ITO secure information to
 assist the President in the dis
 charge of the duties imposed
 upon him by this section, and
 information which will be use-
 ful to Congress in Tariff legis-
 lation and to the officers of
 the Government in the admin
 istration of the Custom laws,
 the President Is hereby au-
 tnorized to employ such per
 sons as may be required to
 make thorough investigations
 amp examinations into the pro-
 auction. commerce and trade
 of the United States and fore
 eign countries. and all con-
 ditions effecting the game" Thanking you in advance for your Interest in the above direction, we re- main" This letter by his advice has been rent to Washington by all the manu- tacturers in the national organiza- tion In this state. This is a business way of getting at satisfactory results. Endless discus Bion Is of small account compared to prompt and rational action. This is what will put the country at rest and set the wheels of industry humming.
