Nothing Useless In Nature.

The professor in the agricultural
college was lecturing to his class upon
the wonderful advance of science in
utilizing the so.called waste products
of nature. without taking into &C.
count" he said, the work Of our
Wizards who can convert the thorny
cactus into an edible plant, effect a
permanent change in the color, size
and taste of berry or any other kind
of fruit, and all within the space of
a few years, chemistry has shown us
that the sage-brush and other weeds
heretofore considered worse than
useless contain valuable substances
which can be extracted in sufficient
quantity to pay for raising them. Our
most advanced investigators are COM
ing rapidly to the conclusion that
there is nothing useless in nature and
that everything that grows or exists
can be pressed into the service of
mankind" Then, professor" enthu-

in the class, perhaps they'll find a

A Queer Cocoanut.

A showman's clever dodge was dis
covered recently at fair held at Bir-
kenhead, Eng. as result of which
he was arrested and heavily fined for
obtaining money by false pretenses.
The story told by the detectives was
that they saw a young man pay a
penny for SHY" at cocoanut tempt
ingly placed on a ledge four yards
from where he stood. Although he
hit the nut with a sounding force, he
failed to dislodge it. The officers then
entered the stall with the intention
of examining it. One of them went to
pick up the nut and was jostled by
the stall-keeper, while her assistant
skilfully changed the nut" for a gen.
uipe one. However, the officers OBJ
tanned the right article, which turned
out to be a cannon ball weighing 70
pounds, over which coacoanut fiber
had been cleverly glued, giving it the
appearance of genuine cocoanut.

NEW THEORY Is
RAPIDLY SPREADING
OVER COUNTRY

L. T. Cooper's theory concerning the
human stomach, which he claims to
prove, with his new medicine, is being
given more respect and comment
every day.
Cooper claims that 80 per cent. of
all i'll health is due to stomach trou-
BILE. When interviewed about his theory
recently, he said: Stomach trouble is
the great curse of the goth century so
far as the civilized races are con.
cerned. Practically all of the chronic
Ill health of this generation is caused
by abnormal stomachic conditions. In
earlier days, when the human race was
closer to nature, and men and women
worked all day out of doors, digging
ting ir frugal existence from the soil,
the tired, droopy, half-sick people that
are now so common, did not exist.

me wherever l have gone to introduce
my medicine, than have had time to

Among the immense numbers of peo
pie who are now strong believers in
Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs.
M. p. Delano, a prominent resident of
the suburb of Brookline, Boston, Mass.
She says: For several years was

Care Of horse,s Feet.

If the horse already has defective
feet keep them carefully trimmed and
shod if necessary. The soft hoof
should be shod and reshod every six
or eight weeks in winter where the
ground is frozen and at all times of
the year where the roads are rocked
or graveled. BY keeping the horse
with poor feet properly shod it will
do good service without loss of time.
But it is best to breed for good feet.

the polling today tends to forecast
that the Liberals will retain control
of the government with greatly re.
duced majority. Unionists gained an
encouraging number of seats, al
though less than expected. The popu-
lar vote goes strongly against the
Liberals. Members of that party who
hold seats won them today by ma
jorities ranging from thirty to sixty
per cent below their maiofities in
1906. Except in a few boroughs,
where special conditions figured in
the campaign, the popular vote of the
Liberals for twelve London seats show
a stronger hold on the power than in
provinces. A majority of the London
boroughs are labor districts OF
these the Unionists carried fiva, but

turned to the capital today after ten
days of speech making in Missouri and
the middle west, and spread cheering
predictions of a sweetping Democratic
victory in the congressional elections
this fall and a Democratic house OF

found a thriving spirit of Democracy

He declared that dissatisfaction with
Republican rule was never so wide
spread as now and that the next house
of representatives would be Demo
cratic "as sure as anything in the
world"
Mr.. Clark brought with him from
Missouri the interesting story which
he learned at Kansas City, OF the de-
parture of a certain gentleman from
the latter place a few days ago for
Africa, representing practically all OF
the bodies of the west and middle
west, to invite Colonel Roosevelt to
land at San Francisco upon his return
to the United States and cross the con-
tinent from west to east.
