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 90 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
their frugal existence from the soil,
the tired. droopy, half-sick people that
are now SO common, did not exist.
ITO be sure, there was sickness in
those days, but it was of a virulent
character, and only temporary. There
was none of this half-sick condition
all the time with which so many are
afflicted nowadays.
81 know positively that every bit of
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stomach
in civilized people today is degenerate.
1t lacks tone and strength. This weak
ness has gradually come through a sed-
entary existence. further know that
few people can be sick with the diges-
tive apparatus in perfect shape. The
sole reason for my success is because
my New Discovery medicine tones the
stomach up to required strength in
about six weeks time. That is why I
have had more people come and thank
me wherever have gone to introduce
my medicine, than have had time to
talk with
Among the immense numbers of peo-
pie who are now strong believers in
Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs.
M. E. Delano, a prominent resident of
the suburb of Brookline, Boston, Mass.
She says: For several years I was
broken in health, caused primarily by
stomach and nerve troubles. 1 gradu-

The election passed off quietly at

ner to the vets as well as the drys.

save the children. They sang for
the voters to vote to save the home.
But there were SO that voted wet and
probably some Of them against the
pleadings of their own children.
There were l2l that voted dry. Six
of them were Party Prohibitionists,
who had heard the pleadings Of the
drunkard's wife and the children
years ago. Yes, dear children and
|. weeping mothers, the Prohibition
party is the home defender. II voted
for a dry Missouri and dry party at
the same time. Somewhere in the
Bible it says a little child shall lead
them; it did not say brewer. We
are glad that old Bates voted dry, and
we think the State will, bye and bye.

BUDGET IN SIGHT
New PARKS and Sewers Proposed,
While More Money Will Be Asked
for Care of Streets.

"A snort cut To the securing OF park
sites without consulting the board OF
estimates has been discovered by the
aldermen. The corporation counseis
ONCE has already been instructed to
begin condemnation proceedings for
the acquisition of property to widen
the Belle Isle bridge approach and
also to acquire the Ferry property out
Grand Riyer-aye. The first of these
IL expected TO cost somewhere about
$4,000 and the latter $123,0OO.
This sum will be direct charge on

other items in the budget.
AS the city estimates are gradually
shaping up, they do not give assuT-
ance OF lower .axation. Parks must he
paio soT oy direct taxation and not by
bond issues. Therefore, the resoll.
tion introduced this week in the cour-
ell, by Aid. Trevor. calling for a bond
issue to purchase new park out
Mack-ave., is not legal III its present
form. 1t will have to come up later
as an estimate or IN the form OF con-
demnation proceedings.
Two great new trunk sewers, one to
relieve the northwestern and the other
the northeastern section of the city are
TO be recommended by COMMISSIONS
Haarer. II will probably require at
le ast $250000 for ine first years work
on these. Sewers are generally paid
for by bonds, but the city is so close
to the bonding limit that part OF
their cost may have to be included in
the tax levy.
There will be a larger paving, resur-
facing and street cleaning budget than
ever before. and the policy of the pres
ent administration is to care for the
streets first of ell. The health board
also urgently requires added facilities
at the city hospital and the new
buildings asked sor there will cost not
less than s150,000.
