The sale of the Cooper preparations
in New York has grown tremendously
during the past week. On Saturday
night It was estimated that during
the week nine thousand people had
called and talked with either Cooper
or his assistants.
Each day more and more people call
who express unlimited approval Of
the results they have obtained from
the medicine. Many OF these people
tell their experience for publication.
The following statements were
among several made on Monday after
noon. George ]. Bramer, of No. 1b41
First avenue. said: II have had
stomach trouble In It's worst form 1

that one doctor told me i had con-

peeaxIna Towns.

Professor Luther's account Of the
vicissitudes of the country towns IN
which he was born will find an echo
in many memories. It is not given 10
all towns to grow with the speed OF
mushrooms in the night or to ma
themselves cities before the cattle
tracks have worn away from their
streets. New England has many de-
cayed towns and villages which con-
stitute a problem for others besides

age and abundant means of transpor-

In determining the destinies of towns.
Still. as in all other sublunary AFFAIRS,
an element Of blind chance enters INTO
them, and that which nature and its
founders apparently intended for big

broad but empty streets.
PERHAPS small towns feel the con-
Slant drain Of the cities even more

more things of the same kind and the
limitations of the little place are all
too narrow for the ambitious boys and

daily paper brings the unrest OF the
city to the country and constitutes a
perpetual temptation. The simple
anusenlents which used to delight our
forefathers pale before the attractions
which even a city Of very moderate
pretensions offers. To the boy in the
country town 1t seems land OF
boundless opportunities.
1t is to be feared that the old SIM

WHEN THE AUTOMOBILE is A

A Practical Charity.

Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt's decision to
spend nearly a million dollars in the
construction OF q group Of model tene-
ments on the upper East Side in New
York will encourage everyone who Is
interested in the war on tuberculosis
TO renewed efforts. These tenements
are specially intended for the accom-
mediation Of families containing one OF
more consumptive members, and will
be arranged with elaborate ventilation
facilities. There will be interior courts
assuring plenty of light and air to each
apartment; balconies that may be used
for sleeping purposes, and roof gardens
where patients may pass as much time
out of doors as they please. The plans
sound peculiarly attractive, and Il
would be gratifying If such tenementi
were built in every city, not only fol
tuberculous persons. but for those who
are free from disease and wish TO keel
so.-Providence Journal.
