TO WISE TO PICK UP'PURSE
Pocket Book Containing $500 Dropped
on Street Is Untouched for
Three Hours.

Joplin, Missouri. - A pocketbook
containing $500 lay for three hours on
the sidewalk in front of the Conner
hotel here Friday and finally was re-
covered by the man who had lost it.
William Broadwell dropped the wal
let as he boarded an automobile in
front of the hotel. A number of guests
saw the wallet fall, but believing it to
be an April fool joke, warily refrained
from touching it.
Three hours later Broadwell discov-
cred his loss and hurriedly returned
to the hotel. He found the contents
had not been touched.

MOST PEOPLE DO
NOT KNOW CAUSE
OF THEIR SICKNESS

DOeS human health depend on one
organ alone? This question is becom-
ing widely discussed since L. T. Coop
er first advanced his theory that the
stomach is the true seat of life and all
health dependent upon it.
Mr.. Cooper, who has met with re-
markable success in the sale of his
new medicine, believes that the stom-
ach is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: Il am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such q record
wherever have introduced it. My an
swer always is, because it restores the
stomach to a normal condition. No
one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems
to be the matter with them. They
are just half-sick most of the time.
They don't know really what is the
matter with them. have talked with
thousands during the past two years,
and few knew indeed what their trou-
BILE was. One said nervousness, another
said kidney trouble. another liver COM
plant, some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung trouble, Many had
treated, as they called it, for most of
these diseases at different times. A
very common complaint is all run
down. or tired all the time or no
appetite
Il know positively that every bit of
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble and nothing else.
My New Discovery puts the stomach
in sound condition in about six weeks.
Mighty few people can be sick with
sound digestion. That is why my medi-
cine is selling at such a tremendous
rate. / have convinced many thou
sands of people that these things are
SO, and the number is growing by
leaps and bounds"
Among more recent converts to Mr.
Cooper's beliefs is Mrs. Lottie L.
Miner, living on Rural Route No. 2,
Henniker, N. H., who says: 81 was in
poor health for six years, from stom-
ach trouble and indigestion. Quite
