COOPER'S FOLLOWERS GIVE
REASON FOR THEIR BELIEF

With theory that human health is
dependent upon the stomach, and with a
medicine which he says proves this theory,
l.. r. Cooper, d comparatively young man,
has built up an immense following during
the past year.
Cooper has visited most OF the leading
cities Of the country, and in each city has
aroused storm OF discussion about his
beliefs and his medicines. Wherever he
has gone people have called upon him by
tens of thousands, and his preparation
has sold i'll 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 statements from two
of the great number Of followers which he
now has are Of general interest.
NV. Marsh, residing at 2l7 South DAILY
Street, Los Angeles, Cal, has the follow
ing to say upon the subject Of the Cooper
preparations:
For more than year | experienced
the most intense suffering. due TO a form
OF stomach trouble which the doctors
called catarrhal gastritis. After eating !
would fill up with gas, which caused frc-
quent bclclling The abdominal area
would expand until ] could scarcely
breathe, causing great distress At such
times could not keep still. but paced
the streets for hours until the pain sub
sided.

rather than endure the torture that was
sure to follow. Liquids were the only

NO REWARD FOR DISCOVERY

Washington, January 31.--The Navy
Department. has ordered Commander
Robert Z. Pcary back to duty. He Will
arrive in Washington tomorrow and
probably will be assigned to post
in his corps before the end of the
week.
While no official announcement OF
the fact has been made, It is learned
that the Navy Department, after eX-
hausting every eNpedient to find a
duty for Commander Peary which
would be in keeping with his dignity
as discoverer of the North Pole, has
abandoned the attempt.
Ainy select POST.
Thess are Il few unimportant Offices
an the department has decided to al
low. as far as 1t may, Commander
Peary the privilege of making selec-
ton from these.
During the time 1t has been casting
about for a place in the corps of civil
engineers to which to assign COM
mander Peary, the department. has
nursed the hope that Congress might
come to the relief of the situation by
making the explorer rear-admira
and rendering him vote OF thanks.
But as Congress. apparently. does
not intend taking any action Of this
sort, the department. finds itself In
the position OF being without excuse
or pretcNt of continuing Commander
Penry's leave from duty.
Going to washington.
1t has wired him to come to Wash
ington to prepare to enter active SER
vice, and reply has been received
stating that he will report at the
department tomorrow.
There is peculiar pathos in the sit
uaton which finds man, after
twenty-three years OF almost con-
tinued leave of absence spent in bring
ing to his country the glory and dis
tinction toward which centuries of ef-
fort have been directed from every
quarter of the globe, forced, when sue
cess has been attained, to so without
an expression of gratitude from his
country, and to again enter Its SER
vice in position the dignity of which
is not in keeping with the prestige OF
his former achievements.
That the crucial moment has arrived
in the strange series of events follow
ing the discovery of the North Pole Is
admitted.

its confidence, and who succeeded IN
making away, under false pretenses
