ABOUT His Theory and Medicine.

Durlns a recent tour in the west 7, ~
cooper made visits of several weeks in
various cities in Kansas. where thousands
Oh people talked with him and purchased
his medicine.
MS success was so phenomenal as to
cause universal comment both by the pub-
TIC and the press. There must be a reason
LOT THIS. Here is the reason given i'm his
own words by Mr.. Cooper when inter-
viewed on the subject. He said;
Ihe immense numbers of people who ars
calling on me here in the west Is not nm
usual. L have had the same experience for
me past two years wherever have gone.
Inc reason is Il simple one. 1t is he
cause my medicine puts the stomach into
good condition. This does not sound nm
usual, but it is in fact the KEY to health
The stomach Is the very foundation of life
l attribute 20 per cent Of all sickness
directly to the stomach.
Neither animals nor men can remain
we'll with a poor digestive apparatus. Few
can be sick with a digestion in perfect
condition. AS a matter >of fact. most mon
and women today are half-sick. II Is be-
cause too much food and too little exer-
else have gradually forced the stomach
Into a half-sick condition. Ny medicine
gets the stomach back where it was, and
that is all that is necessary"
Among Kansas people who are stanch
believers in Mr.. Cooper's theory is Mr..
J. l.. Hayslip, residing at COZ Kansas
avenue, Oakland, Kansas. He says:
For some time l have been a sufferer
from rheumatism. 1t finally became so
bad that could not sleep at night, and
l was getting worse every day, despite

Story of Escape
Companion of Miller Came Near
Losing Life in Grand Island
Fire.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., April 19.-(Spe-
1 al.)-William Johnson, who was severely
burned before escaping from the base
ment Of the Miller Furniture store, and
in which f. Nj. Miller lost his life, is
recovering, his severest burns being upon
the hands and lower extremities of the
arms. Johnson has since recovering from
the effects of opiates administered after
his injury been able to relate the details
as to the cause of the fatality. After
Miller had come up to give the alarm
he and johnson again went down into the
basement with hand fire ~extinguishers to
make an effort to extinguish the flames.
But the flames and smoke were such as to
drive them back. When they went to lift
the elevator the rope would not work.
There was no stairway at the rear. John
son leaped at a beam overhead, caught it.
pulled himself up and barely escaped.
Miller heavier and shorter Of stature,
was evidently unable to reach 1t. Immedi-
ately the smoke and flames so rushed up
the shaft that nothing could be done to

also not known excepting by the ex-
hausted and overcome Johnson, who, as
soon as he could, made known where he
had last seen his employer.
The funeral OF Frank NJ. Miller took
place at the First Methodist church Mon
day afternoon, the services being under
the auspices of the Masonic fraternity Of

TURN OVER TINE
when Mature Hints About The Food.

When there's no relish to any food and
all that one eats doesn't seem to do anv
good then is the time to make a turn
over in the diet, for that's Natures way
OF dropping a hint that the food isn't the
kind required.
FOR a number OF years / followed rail-
road work, much of it being office work
of a trying nature.
Meal times were our busiest part Of the
day. Eating too much and too Quickly
Of food such as is commonly served in
hotels and restaurants, together with the
sedentary habits were not long in giving
me dyspepsia and stomach trouble which
reduced my weight from 2O5 to IsJ
pounds.
There was little relish in any food and
none of 1t seemed to do me any good. 1t
seemed the more I ate the thinner I got
and was always hungry before another
meal, no matter how much / had eaten.
Then / commenced a fair trial of
Grape-Nuts and was surprised how a
small saucer of It would carry me along
strong and with satisfied appetite, until
The next meal, with no sensation of
hunger, weakness or distress as before.
Il have been following this diet now
for several months and my Improvement
has been so great all the others In my
family have taken up the use OF Grape
Nuts with complete ratisfaction and
much Improvement in health and brain
power.
American people undoubtedly eat hur-
riedly' have lots Of worry, thus hinder
ing digestion and therefore need a food
that is predigested and concentrated for
n~ourishment." There's a. Reason"
