Constant Work and Health.

Constant Work and Health.
Editor The Herald and News:
Preachers have sometimes taken texts
to use as pretexts for what they
had premeditated saying)-so the
writer, to advance a thought more
on the "ten hour law" will take as
a text the diversion sprung in the
cotton mills, as Aunt Jerushy Jen-
kins says, by the suggestion of an
amendment to such law which would
prevent interference with the pres
ent arrangement for half Satur-
day holiday in the Newberry mills.
There were two points in it that
might have caused the merriment:
(ll Allusion to scientific fact, that
eleven hours constant work at one
kind Of labor is too great q strain
on the nervous system-and much
more 50 tnan harder labor on many
o. several lines.
Our fair critics are not sufficiently
conversed with physiology to appre-
eiate fully the great advantage they
enjoy in that respect with a half
day off one day out Of six, over their
less. fortunate sisters in other mills
working the full eleven hours day
six days in the week. +
In the article in question: it was
admitted that the half Saturday rec
reation followed by the whole Of
Sunday (recreation also), even-yea,
especially 50 attending spiritual
services, was compensation for the
one hour over-work the other. five
days. .--:..
Judging from the representations
Of Aunt Jerushy Jenkins, it appears
that the lady workers at cotton mills
are not posted in health science. In,
which case it is easy for one in cheer
full mood midst pleasant surroundings
to feel but Little, if any, strain on
the nerves in o7erwork, but it tells
in time. No man or company has'the
right to Systematically impair the
health. or shorten the life Of any one
in their employ. g.}s.r III
It will surprise the good ladies,
who have made this fact subject of
merriment, to learn that their sister
workers in the great industrial cen
ters of the North and West, organ

OMAHA PEOPLE
GREATLY EXCITED
THE GREAT COOPER AS HE Is
CALLED HAS STIRRED UP THAT
CITY TO A REMARKABLE
DEGREE.

Omaha, Nebraska, January 26.-Thls
excitement beyond anything that it
has experienced IN recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor, all
seem to have become beside them
selves over an individual who was
stranger to Omaha up to two weeks
ago.
The man who has created all this
turmoil is l.. t. Cooper, President of
the Cooper Medicine Co, of Dayton,
Ohio, who is at present introducing
his preparations in this city for the
first time.
Cooper is a man about thirty years
of age and has acquired o fortune
within the past two years by the sale
Of some preparations of which he is
the owner.
Reports from eastern cities that pre-
ceeded the young man here were OF
the most startling nature, many Of
the leading dailies going so far as to
state that he had nightly cured in
public places rheumatism of years
standing with one of his preparations.
The physicians of the East contradict
ed this statement, claiming the thing
to be impossible, but the facts seemed
to bear out the statement that Cooper
actually did so.
In consequence people flocl1ed to
him by thousands and his prepare
tions sold like wildfire.
Many of these stories were regard
ed as fictitious in Omaha and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
attention was paid to them. Hardly
had the young man arrived, however,
when he began giving demonstrations,
as he calls them, in public, and daily
met people afflicted with rheumatism,
and with single application of one
of his preparations actually made
them walk without the aid of either
canes or crutches.
In addition to this work Cooper adj
vanced the theory that stomach trou-
BILE Is the foundation of nine out of
ten diseases and claimed to have
preparation that would restore the
stomach to working order and thus
get rid of such troubles as catarrh and
affections of the kidneys and liver, in
about two weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of his prep.
aration, and now ali Omaha is ap-
parently mad over the young man.
How long the tremendous interest
in Cooper will last is hard to estimate.
At present there seems to be no sign
of let-up. Reputable physicians
claim it to be fad that will die out
as soon as Cooper leaves.
In justice to him. however, it must
be said that he seems to have accom-
plished a great deal for the sick of
this city with his preparations.

Savinu Time.

The family was to leave on the two
o'clock train from Broad street station,
so the mother was all in a furry as
she hurried the children in a certain
West Philadelphia home.
Nov, children, get everything ready
before luncheon" she said. Don't
leave everything until the last min
ute"
And the children said they wouldn't.
Luncheon ended, they hurried into
their wraps and started. In the hall
the mother said
Edward, you didn't brush your
teeth"
Yes, ma'am, l did"
But you couldn't she said, "you
didn't have time. Why you just got
up from the table,"
Il know that" said Edward; "but we
were in such hurry 1 brushed them

Post ofhees Show Increase.

Postmaster E. w. Reyes of Madison
gave out his annual comparative state
ment of the gross receipts of the 20
principal post Offices in Wisconsin dur
ing the last three years.
The statement shows an increase in
the total receipts of the 20 post off
named of s211, 290.92 during the year
1909 as compared with 1908. No bet
ter eridence of the general business
prosperity which has been enjoyed
everywhere throughout the state dur
ing the last II months could be had.
1t is a significant fact, also, that
this year, for the first time since
Judge Keyes undertook the compila-

Why does Great Britain buy its
oatmeal of US?

Certainly it seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases Of
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods of
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How well he has succeeded would
be seen at a glance at the export re-
ports of Quaker Oats. This brand is
recognized as without rival in clean
Illness and delicious flavor. 81

Fish Commission Hears Repcrt.


The report of Superintendent of
Fisheries James Nevin, submitted to
the fish commission, shows vast
amount of work was done in the way
of propagation, reclamation and dis
tribution of fish during the past year.
The commissioners met in their Of
flee in the capitol The members pres
ent were: Calvert Spensley, Mineral
Point; William J. Starr, Eau Claire;
George B. Hudnall, Superior; Jave
Alvord and E. A. Birge of Madison.
Superintendent Nevin reports hav-
ing in the hatcheries this winter 3d.
$40, 900 eggs of the trout family. This
is more trout eggs on trays in the
process of incubation than in all the
other state hatcheries combined, with
the exception of Washington and Ore
gon, where they hatch large numbers
of salmon eggs to keep up the supply
of fish for the Gamers.
Besides the large number of eggs
that are in the hatcheries this win
ter, there was spawned, impregnated
and planted back on the spawning
beds of Lake Michigan $4,000, 900
lake trout eggs, making some seventy
bushels of eggs that were left to
hatch in their natural way.
The commissioners are making
greater preparations than ever for
collecting spawn and distributing fry
from the spring spawning varieties.
They expect to fully double their out
put of game fishes this year.

Students Get seIf-Government.

The University of Wisconsin is the
first university in the country to have
system of elf-government in all
matters of discipline as result of
the granting by the faculty and re-
gents of the students request for a
student court.
Hereafter all violations of the rules
and regulations of the university
growing out of the conduct of the stu
dents will be tried by the undergrad
yates thmselves, and the penalty fixed
by them accordingly.
AS a result of the new system, the
students have taken the responsibility
for maintaining good order throughout
the institution on all occasions. The
student court will enforce all the rules
and regulations, including the recent
agreement regarding the abolition Of
haZing
Ever since President Van Hise en-
tered upon his duties six years ago,
he has maintained that self-govern-
ment was the most desirable form of
control in a large university like Wis
consin. From time to time he has
taken steps to encourage the students
in the management of their affairs.
The student conference committee,
which has been an important factor in
expressing the student sentiment, and
which has been the means Of COM
munication between the students and
faculty, was originated by President
Van Hise It was through this stu
dent conference committee that haz-
| ing was abolished, and that the new
ly established student court was
brought into being.
The successful operation Of the
student court, it is believed, will re-
suit in the undergraduates taking over
the management of practically all the
affairs of the institution in which they
are directly interested, and the gen.
eral withdrawal of faculty control in
| these matters
