ONLY NECESSARYTO TREAT
THE STOMACH, SAYS COOPER

The new theory advanced by L. T.
Cooper relative to the human stom-
ach has attracted such widespread at
tention that the public in cities Wis
tied by the young man has been
Joined by many physicians in dis
cussion of his beliefs and medicines.
Mr.. Cooper says that human health
is dependent almost entirely upon the
stomach. He says that no disease can
be conquered without first alleviating
all stomach disorders. He further
says that most men and women of
this generation are half-sick, owing
to degenerate stomachs And lastly,
he claims that his New Discovery med
icine will rejuvenate the human stom-
ach in 80 days
Cooper has been travelling from one
city TO another. conducting in each
what he calls a campaign Of educa-
ton. For the past year he has met
the public in the larger cities OF the
country, and his success has been phe-
nomenal Thousands Of people have
focked to his headquarters wherever
he has gone. and the sale of his medi-
cine has been beyond anything of the
kind ever before witnessed
Possibly the most interesting fea-
ture of the attention this young man
has attracted is what his army of fol
lowers, whom he has converted to his
beliefs through his medicines, have to
say on the subject. The following
statements are from two well-known
residents of Chicago and Boston. re-
spectively. and the enthusiasm Of these
is characteristic of Cooper's admirers
generally.
Mrs. H. B. Mack Of 1901 State street,
Chicago, says: 81 have been suffering

Then there was a dull headache, and

Immediately decided TO try some Of II.

The headache seems to have disap-
peared, and the pain in my stomach
along with it. The medicine Is worth
its weight in gold, and / want to thank
Mr.. Cooper for what he has done for
me-"
Edwin F. Morse of 20 Oakley street,
Dorchester, a suburb of Boston, says:
For three years had not a well day.
My stomach was in frightful shape;
the mere thought Of food would nau-
seate me, and really had a horror
OF anything to eat. All solid food would
cause me extreme indigestion, bloating
and gas on my stomach, and nothing
tasted right Some time ago / got
some of this Cooper's medicines. about
which there is so much talk. actu-

RAISE COAST RATE
Passenger Agents Move to Put
Pacific Tariff Above One
Fare for Round Trip.
EAST WOULD BE GAMER
Argued That Increase Would Divert
Summer Travel to Resorts o3
That Section.

At a meeting of general passenger
agents in Chicago yesterday a PROPOSE
ton was made to increase the round
trip Pacific coast summer tourist rates
So from Chicago. advancing them from
$3.50 to $3.50. The move to raise
these fares was offered by officers of
the Hartman and Rock Island sys-
tens
This is the first attempt to put the
Pacific coast summer charges on a
higher basis than the one fare for the
round trip which has prevailed in the
past. The passenger agents who OPP
posed any increase argued that the
roads east from Chicago would, I'M
doubtedly, put in low fares this sum-
mer, as was done last season.
East to Repeat Low Rate.
The passenger travel to the Atlantic
coast and New England resorts last
year was increased so heavily by the
low fares that were put in for the
first time in history of the eastern
roads, that there Is hardly any doubt
that low basis will be announced for
this year.
Managers of the lines operating from
Chicago to Colorado declared against
any advance in fares in this district
on the ground that they could not af-
ford to go above the eastern roads for
similar distances. The low fares to the
east from Chicago were put in last
summer in an attempt to divert some
of the big Rocky mountain travel to
the east. There appeared to be no par
ticular diversion, but the eastern, as
well as the western, roads did an i'm
mense business and transportation in
terests were satisfied.
Central States Battle Ground.
1t appears that the central states,
from the Alleghenies to the Missouri
river. Will be the battle ground for
summer tourist solicitation this year.
People of this district, 1t is said by
those who have studied the conditions,
are divided into five classes, those who
go to the Wisconsin, Michigan and
Minnesota lakes. the second those who
go to the Rocky mountains, the third

the intention of the village board TO

possible.

The allegation is made that on the

East Sixth street, about midway be-
tween Brady and Perry streets, the
unprotected condition of the sidewalk
and its icy condition caused the petit

suffered a broken rib and other in

suited by reason of the negligence Of
