l.. T. Cooper's theory regarding the
human stomach is rapidly becoming 4
topic of universal discussion. Cooper
claims that the human stomach has
become chronically deranged by mod
ern conditions and that sickness gen.
orally is the result.
In a recent interview. while intro
ducing his medicine in a leading city,
Mr. Cooper said There IS Just one
way, in my opinion, to maintain gen
eral health, and that is by building up
the digestive organs The vast ma
jority of Americans today have weak,
f1abby. distended stomachs. This has
been caused by many generations OF
overfeeding and lack of exercise, until
today the entire civilized race is al
fected. This is the true cause of most
of the Ill health of today Little can
be done to relieve it until the stomach
is once more brought back to normal
condition.
Il am successful because my prep
aration puts the stomach III sound

only way to secure general and per-
manent good health"

Gossip of RaIIwaymen

General Jack 5. Easement is dead.
News of the death was received in
this city yesterday, although he passed
away December 13, al Painesville, O.
General Easement was known as the
builder of the Union Pacific railroad.
He and his brother, Daniel, had the
contract and laid every piece of track
on the great overland system between
Cheyenne and Promontory point. The
last rail, laid at Promontory, was set
in place by Easement and the last spike
driven. by Leland Stanford Besides
being the builder of the Union Pacific,
Easement laid stretches of the Lake
Shore, the Big Four and the Nickel
Plate. In building the Union Pacific
he established a record of laying seven
miles of track in one hour.
There is hardly an old railroadman
who did not know Easement. He was
born in 1929, and after his schooling
was successful at various occupations
until the war of the rebellion at
which time he became a major in the
Ohio volunteer infantry, serving until
the close of the war. At the time of
the San Francisco disaster, Easement
was living at San Jose in the Hotel
Vendome, and when that structure col
lapsed he was buried among the ruins
cause of death was attributed to pneu-
monia and general debility

er officers will be elected when the
movement is further advanced.
The secretary was directed to COM
municate with every central labor

each and each union affiliated with 1t
will contribute monthly to the work.
AS soon as this is ascertained a num-
Der of organizers in proportion to the
money at hand will be sent out to as
semble the men in different parts of
the state, so as to have them ready
