Under legislation enacted in 1905
the Danish government pays three
fourths of the expenses Of all poor
persons who desire to be treated in
tuberculosis sanatoria. When the hos

pleted Denmark will have one bed in
tuberculosis hospitals or sanatoria for

will mean that the length Of treat

Very few men know how to keep
still. The Italians have q proverb,
"Hear, see and say nothing. If you
wish to live in peace" The man who
Is bent on telling all he knows, gen.
orally ends in telling a good deal more
than he knows. The tongue Is harder
to bride than the widest horse that
ever roamed the prairie. The Ger
mans say truly that talking comes by
nature, while silence comes of the un-
derstanding.

MOST PEOPLE DO
NOT KNOW CAUSE
OF THEIR SICKNESS

Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question Is becom
ing widely discussed since L. T. Coop
er first advanced his theory that the
stomach Is the true seat Of life and all
health dependent upon 1t. :
Mr.. Cooper, who has met with re-
markable success In the sale Of his
new medicine, believes that the stom.
ach Is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: II am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such q record
wherever l have introduced It. My an.
swer always Is, because 1t restores the
stomach to a normal condition. No
one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems
to be the matter with them. They
are just half-sick most Of the time.
They don't know really what Is the
matter with them. have talked with
thousands during the past two years,
and few knew indeed what their trou-
BILE was. One said nervousness, another
said kidney trouble, another liver com.
plant, some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung trouble. Many had
treated, as they called 1t, for most Of
these diseases at different times. A
very common complaint is all run
down., or tired all the time or mo
appetite 4
II know positively that every bit of
this chronic Ill health is caused by
stomach trouble and nothing else

Mighty few people can be sick with
sound digestion. That is why my medi
cine Is selling at such q tremendous
rate. have convinced many thou
sands Of people that these things are

Among more recent converts to Mr.. |
Cooper's beliefs is Mrs. Lottie L.
Miner, living on Rural Route No. 2,
Henniker, N. H., who says: Il was in
poor health for six years, from stom.
ach trouble and indigestion. Quite
frequently my stomach was so weak
that 1t would not retain solid food. I
had vomiting spells every morning, and
was subject to frequent attacks Of dir
Einess. Life became such a burden
that l often felt 1t was not worth the
living. tried everything I could hear
Of, but found nothing that would af-
ford relief.
For some time had been reading
Of the Cooper remedies, and finally de-
cided to give the New Discovery
a trial. After taking the
first bottle, I noticed a marked Inn

A WOMAN IN THE NAVY.
She Was Three Years in the War of
1912 Without Her Sex Being Known.

At least one woman has served il
the United States navy. But, accord
ing to Edgar Stanton Maclay, writing
| in the Blueiacket, she has the roll to
herself. Her real name was Louise
Baker, and having enlisted as ma.
rine she served throughout the War OF
1912 on the famous frigate Constitu.
ton.

ships crew, freely associated with my
shipmates. both at sea and on shore,
And yet, as extraordinary as it
may appear, | have not the most dis
tant idea that single soul on board
ever had the slightest suspicion of my
sex. | have thoroughly studied the
memoirs of Miss Deborah Sampson
(who disguised as a man, served in
the Continental army during the RevO-
luton without her identity being dis
covered) and by strict adherence to
the precautionary means by which she
was enabled to avoid an exposure of
her sex ] also was enabled to conceal
mine.
The Constitution engaged in three of
the more important single ship actions
of the nineteenth century: that with
the. Guerrero, the Java, and the double
action with the Cyane and Levant.
Speaking of the action with the
Guerrero, Miss Baker says: 81 was
all this time in the top plying my faith
full musket with the best success when
ever the smoke would permit me to
see bluejacket of the enemy. In the
heat of the action grapeshot struck
and splintered the butt of my musket.
1t was noticed by one of my com
rades, who stood within a few feet of
me-, who, patting me on the shoulder,
exclaimed
Never mind it, George! You have
won laurels sufficient to recommend you
to the pretty girls when you return to
port. -
In the British navy of the same pc I

had some woman aboard who braved |
The perils and hardships of the sea in |
order to be with her husband. In near
" every one of the q line-Of- battle
ships under Nelson s command in the
great battle of Trafalgar was one OF
more women, wives of sailors.
Surprise may be expressed that Eng
ish men of warsmen were permitted to
nave their wives aboard. 1t was only
by special permission of the Admiral
" that this could be done-and that
was granted somewhat in
he light of penance for sanctioning
he press gang system, which was
argely- in vogue at that time. Men
we're seized in the streets and other
public places, and compelled to serve
n British war ships because "the king
needed men. Some of the men thus
eized had political influence and, be-
ne uniustly compelled to serve in the
lavy. were permitted to have their
wives share their involuntary servi- J
ude.
