Some Philosophy of a Manicure Girl

always come to me from the sham
poo room or the massage room, where
they can't talk, you see, and l sup
pose l get what's been bottled up.
And, say-do you know what
stumps me most of all this year? No?
Well-the furs! I never saw such furs
as this winter. Why, you'd think they
grew on trees! Some women wear
three kinds at once. And another
thing Is the artificial flowers. They
all wear 'em-nestling among the furs,
you couldn't ever tell they weren't
real-and, say-they're scented. They
even smell real.
Tips? Well, we don't call them
tips. You see, we aren't walters. Oh.
yes. We take 'em, of course-when
we get 'em. The men always do; the
women almost never do. 1 suppose
they think their entertaining talk
takes the place of coin.
Its big town, this, amt it-and
it's hard town. Oh, yes, l suppose
there are some good people here-Oh.
yes, I'm one to look on the bright side
but, say-the women get the worst
of it, don't they-even in this free
country. Why, if lived in England
I'd be one of them window smashin'
suffringers myself"

Fought to Retain
Formula Which Has
Made a Fortune

L. T. Cooper, the man who believes
that 80 per cent. Of all i'll health OF
this generation is caused by stomach
trouble, is fast winning national faith
In his theory. His claim is now ,ad.
m1tted by a surprising number Of peo
pie throughout the country, and he is
gaining new adherents every day.
While speaking of his success in q
recent Interview. Mr.. Cooper said: 81
believed ten years ago that any one
who could produce a formula that
would thoroughly regulate the stom'
ach would have fortune. When got
hold of this formula I knew within six
months that I was right, and that my
fortune was made. I called the med
icine Cooper's New Discovery, al
though I did not get up the formula.
l have owned it, however, for over
i've years. l have had one lawsuit
over it, which 1 won in the courts.
When it was settled The Cooper
Medicine Company became the only
firm in the world that can prepare
the medicine. The preparation has
sold like wildfire wherever introduced.
AS 1 have said before, it is successful
simply because it puts the stomach
in perfect shape, then nature does
the rest. There are any number OF
complaints never before associated
with stomach trouble that the medi.
cine has alleviated in thousands of
cases."

most complicated case that Mr. Cooper
had to deal with. I was troubled for
years with my stomach. I consulted
with doctors and took many patent
medicine preparations without result.

and decided to try it. I used four bot

Coffroth Wins Race, London to Frisco.
James w. Coffroth, fight promoter,
won his bet of $4,000 made with a
member of the National Sporting club
OF London that he could reach San
Francisco in ten days from London.
Coffroth had margin of two hours
and forty minutes.
Cotfroth, according to agreement,
sent telegram to Eugene CORR, with
whom he had the wager. When he ar
rived at the Oakland pier he was well
coined by large delegation that
cheered him as he stepped from his car.
The time made by Coffroth is the
fastest ever made from London to San
Francisco over the Atlantic and across
the continent. He made the trip in
nine days, five hours and five minutes.
