STATEMENT ABOUT WOMEN or

Novel theories about modern social
conditions and the cause for them were
advanced yesterday by the Cooper
stomach man" who is making his
headquarters at Smiths Busy Corner"
drug store Main and Second South
streets. Cooper is the young man who
has aroused such a storm of comment
III Salt Lake City by his extraordinary
ideas about disease and its causes. He
claims that 80 per cent Of all i'll health
Is caused by stomach trouble, and Moth
ing else, and has undoubtedly converted
thousands Of people to his beliefs during
the time that he has been here. He said:
Modern social life is a tremendous
tax on the vitality of the nation. The
woman of that splendid physique of our
pioneer days, who was the mother of the
west, is fast disappearing from our rec
objection. The woman of today is an
anemic, sickly always tired and eX-
hausted type She lacks in life, verve
and healthy ambition. The reason for
all this is very simple The call of So
cial duty has imposed on the woman of
today responsibilities that take too
much of her time and sap her vitality,
Now. fl is very common thing to
point to the society woman as a dread
fui example OF what our modern times
have led US into, but this is not what
mean at all.
IT claim that the woman of moderate
means-the wife of the business man,
artisan, clerk or working man-has just
as many social responsibilities of the
kind that tel on her health as the PAM
pered woman Of fashion. The fact that
she has homework and other domestic
duties to perform tends to make her
life the harder.

They eat too much, too irTegulariy, and

ach. sOurs, and-it's harsh to say, but
it's true-it literally rOts. Gases form

in four to eight weeks. I am
ready TO meet the people of this city
face 20 face and prove my theories to
them. Hundreds here have already said
that they have found my ideas worked

Among COOper's callers yesterday was
Matthew WOOdCOck of Murray, receiv-
ing his mail on rural free delivery route
No 4. He said:
MY wife suffered from catarrh of the
stomach with all symptoms for ten OF
twelve years. She had a most stub
born case of constipation, which caused
her great agony and wrecked her en-
tire nervous system. I tried many rem
