RESULTS EXCEEDED
HIS EXPECTATIONS

I was also troubled with dizziness.
My stomach was out of order, my
appetite tickle, I felt dull, weak and
tired all the time, and was ina
generally run down condition.
My wife and daughter having
both used the Cooper remedies with
beneficial results. l decided to try
them. They proved helpful beyond
all expectations. The New, Discovery
soon put my bowels into good CON
dition, and the piles disappeared.
My appetite improved, and l began
to relish my meals, having no
difficulty in digestine all that | ate.
The dizziness soon left me and has
not returned.

wonders for me-"

used BY Mr.. Perkins, claims that
stomach trouble is responsible for

Twelve or fifteen years ago the
American automobile was hardly
known, and those DESTROYS of purchas-
ing high-grade machines had to buy
them abroad and import them. To-day
the best autos in use are of American
make, the capital invested in automo-
bile manufacturing aggregates hun
dreds of millions of dollars and the
business is increasing rapidly. The
Wrights, like Zeppelin, have capital
lied their success, and find any
amount of American money ready for
investment in their own and other
schemes of aviation. A company in
which the brothers are interested has
a capital of $1,O0O,OO0, and doubtless
others o. equal or larger amount will
be started. There are still many
problems to solve in connection with
aerial navigation. But the business
assuredly has become commercially
possible.

STEAMSHIP TIPPING.

AS a ship nears land after trip
across the Atlantic inexperienced trav-
elers are always in ferment in re-
gard to the proper tips to give their
various stewards. OF course, one may
give what one chooses, and, no matter
how small, the amount will never be
questioned by the recipient, though his
looks may mean much. | may say,
however, that it is customary to give
the table steward about three dollars.
Your bedroom steward should receive
not less than two dollars, the steward
that polishes your boots of morning
one dollar, and your bath steward
two dollars. In the very large boats
in which there are lifts that run be-
tween the E and A decks, saving you
the climb Of five flights of stairs,
should your cabin happen on E deck, it
Is now customary to give a 'pourboire"
to the boys who operate the cars. 1t
is advisable, by the way, to engage

cate the time at which you desire to
take your morning tub at the time
when you engage your passage.

future use, and then hauled tons of the
fish to their gardens and farms to en-
rich the soil. The whiting is one of

of witnesses to be summoned.

call attention to certain letters which
showed the part Mr.. Ballinger played
as commissioner in directing the in

was to indicate that President Tart

stated conclusion that Mr.. Ballinger's
participation in the matter had been
merely formal"
CLAWS told of visit to Washington
in December, 1907, when he took up
with officials of the land office the
subject of the claims. He told Mr.
