MADE NERVOUS WRECK
BY STOMACH TROUBLE
Iowa Mans Case Has a Parallel
In Every Community.

With theory that human health is
dependent OF the stomach and with a
medicine which he says proves this
theory, L. I. Cooper, a comparatively
young man, has built up an immense
following during the past two years.
Cooper has visited most OF the leading
cities of the country. and in each city
has aroused a storm Of discussion about
his beliefs and his medicines. Wherever
he has gone, people have called upon
him by thousands, and his preparation
has sold in immense quantities.
The sale of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and is
growing enormously each day. In view
of this. the following statement from
one of his many followers IS of general
interest.
Mr.. George Hyde, for the past twenty
years respected resident of Maquo-
keta, Iowa, says: After years of suf-
fering from chronic stomach trouble
and trying nearly every known remedy
as well as treating with some of the
best physicians in the country, I found
myself a nervous wreck. Ny appetite

POWER PLACED
IN AIDRICH'S HANDS
Direction Of Senates Work on Currency Postal Savings
Banks, Bank of Issue, Tanff and Income Tax
All Guided by Him
BY 7. c. WELLIVER.

Senator Aldrich is in the way of get
ting things fairly in his hands in
preparation for the next great task he
wants TO take up after the tariff shall
have been revised-namely, the reor-
ganization of the currency system of
the nation.
Before a new system can be nodded
out OF an old one, it is necessary to
reduce the old to such plastic state
that IT may be reformed under the hand
Of the potter. That is just what is
happening 70 the various elements
which relate most intimately to the
currency problem. Senator Aldrich is
fast getting himself charged with a
series Of Investigations and reforms
and revisions. which include not only
the currency. but the banking system,
the postal bank proposal. the tariff,
and now. apparently, there is a chance
that the income tax business will be
turned over to him in some form.
Coming His Way.
1t is A strange series of condolences
that has given all this power TO one
man just as he would have wished it;
perhaps Just as he planned it. First
came the Aldrich-vreeland currency
measure. In order to get that bill
passed. Mr.. Aldrich proposed that a
currency commission be established to
consider a permanent reform of the
system. It was done. and Mr. Aldrich
became head of the commission.
Then came along the postal savings
bank project. Mr.. Aldrich did not
want such bill passed, because he
explained that he desired. II ruch
bank were to be created. TO make # a
sort of department of the great cen
trail bank Of issue which he hoped
would be a feature Of his plan for cur
rency revision.
So the postal savings bank measure
died, and the Rhode Islander, as head
Of the Finance Committee occupies the
position from which. with his powers
rs boss Of the Senate he will be able
largely 10 determine what shall be
dCne about it in future. he can take
II up again in connection with his prof.
ect of currency reform II he likes end
deems fitting, OF he can forget It
Tariff Commission.
Next came the question OF a tariff
commission. Mr.. Aldrich was long Op-
posed TO anything Of the sort: but now
is disposed to cOncede it in some part
Of course he will dominate in making
up such = body. and it will give him
one more hold on the great fiscal con-
Germs Of the Government, to employ as
it may be advanta geOus and helpful in
working out his currency system

failure to secure relief after diliEent
search discouraged me, and / began 20
feel that there was little hope of ever
again enjoying good health.
Some time ago, however, I became
interested in some newspa per articles
dealing with the ideas and beliefs of L.
I. Cooper. His theory that the stomach
Is responsible for the state of ones
health, either good or bad, impressed
me as being logical. He claimed that
no one could enjoy good health with a
bad stomach, likewise, no one could be
III with a stomach in good condition
His further claim that his New Dis
covery preparation would restore the
stomach to normal, induced me TO give
ii a trial.
L went to my druggist and bought a
bottle 1t proved helpful from the first
dose 1 continued the treatment, and
improved rapidly. Four, bottles made
me well. L am sixty years OF age, and
today feel younger and enjoy better
health thar IN the past ten years. I owe
ii all to COoper's New Discovery. Any
one suffering from stomach trouble or
nervousness should try this remarkable
preparation"

all druggists everywhere. A sample

OFFICERS AT ADANA
ARM THE RIOTERS

LONDON. April PA dispatch today
from Adana gives a graphic account Of
the first five days Of rioting and mas
acres in that city, detailed by the
Rev. Howard Adams Gibbons, a mis-
sionary from Hartford. Conn.
Early last Wednesday, April A.
while 1 was at the market" Gibbons
says, Il noticed that the Armenians
were closing their shops and hurrying
10 their homes. An Armenian ard
Turk had been killed during the night,
and the corpses were paraded through
the streets. The people became greatly
infiamed at the sight of these corpses,
and crowds began to assemble, armed
with revolvers, clubs, knives, and axes.
BY II O'Clock the sIoting was getting
under fun swing. The military com
mander of Adana was with me in the
market. Had he had the requisite
courage he might have suppressed the
trouble in It's incipiency, but he was
either a coward or in sympathy with
the uprising, and permitted it to go on
unchecked. He kept in hiding for two
days.
