Punctuation To-Day.

One suspects that the use of punctu-
alton and capital letters is but con-
ceSSion to an emaSculaie eye You
will look long way for a stop in a
Greek inscription. and all the letters
are capitals. An ancient Greek could
read his sacred books not only with
out punctuation or inverted commas,
but without vowels. Nowadays we
must shrek in headlines and explain
in commas and italics. But the law
knows better. When you sign a le-
gal document you find no stops or in
verified commas in il. They might
lead TO confusion
it would be an amusing experiment
10 print paper as this note is printed
without any of the paraphernalia of
capitals stops italics just straight on
trusting to the sense of the reader
TO make his own sense out of it for
it is generally clear where the break
comes and it is only the omission or
displacement of the unnecessary sign
post that sends the reader on to a
joke that turns sense into nonsense
but possibly if We abolished all these
trimmings of print the journalist
would become seriously embarrassed
for jokes and the compositor for en-

Fought to Retain
Formula Which Has
Made a Fortune

L. T. Cooper, the man who believes
that 80 per cent. of all ill health Of
this generation is caused by stomach
trouble, is fast winning a national faith
in his theory. His claim is now AZ
mitted by surprising number of peo-
pie throughout the country, and he is
gaining new adherents every day.
While speaking of his success in a
recent interview, MIR. Cooper said: Il
believed ten years ago that any one
who could produce a formula that
would thoroughly regulate the stom.
ach would have a fortune. When got
hold of this formula knew within six
months that was right, and that my
fortune was made. l called the med
icine Cooper's New Discovery, al
though I did not get up the formula.
/ have owned it, however, for over
five years. I have had one lawsuit
over it, which l won in the courts.
When It was settled The Cooper
Medicine Company became the only
firm in the world that can prepare
the medicine. The preparation has
sold like wildfire wherever introduced.
AS have said before, it is successful
. simply because it puts the stomach
in perfect shape, then nature does
the rest. There are any number OF
complaints never before associated
with stomach trouble that the medi-
cine has aileviated in thousands Of
cases.
Among statements obtained recent
ly from users of this medicine that is
arousing such universal discussion is
one from Mrs. Emma Stanley, living in
Chicago. at 713 Washington Boule-
ward, who said: perhaps | had the
most complicated case that Mr. Cooper
had to deal with. l was troubled for
years with my stomach. l consulted
with doctors and took many patent
medicine preparations without result
My stomach was in such a wretched
shape that could not enjoy q meal
IN 1 ate.
Il was very nervous, and could hard
ly sleep. I had a roaring in my ears
and dancing spots before my eyes. /
was very sore spot at the pit of my
stomach that nearly set me wild.
Il heard about the Cooper medicine
and decided to try it. l used four bot
ties, and the Improvement in my case
has been really wonderful. My nerves
have been quoted, and / am so much
improved that feel like a new
woman.
Il cannot say too much for these
wonderful remedies, for they have
made me we'll"

1t is my Judgment that Prof. 2. &.
Holden would be the choice of the
Iowa people. Professor Holden has
probably come closer in touch with
the people of Iowa and knows more
of their wants and their needs than
any other living man in the state, and
this should qualify him. He has rare
executive ability and is a leader
among young men and women. This
has been thoroughly demonstrated in
his educational work before short
courses over the state. On seed corn
specials. and in his addresses before
educational institutions. l sincerely

for Holden, l regard him as the best
