err, the millionaire philanthropist,
who has been so widely discuss
ed throughout the East, is in
Lexington, a guest of the Phoe-
nix Hotel.
Mr.. Cooper came to Kentucky
from New York where he spent
the past nine months meeting
the public and explaining his
views on health and hygiene.
Mr.. Cooper is a man of rare ia
Tents, magnetic force and charm
of manner. He never ceases to
surprise you with the Infinite va

absolute correctness and thor

most,Of the i'll health of today is
due almost entirely to those hab.
its which best distinguish the
white man from the jungle. He
says that nine times out of ten it
is the result, more or less, of a
weakened, out. Of border stomach,
and that nine times out of ten
these disorders are due to too
much eating and drinking, or
our careless method of living.
But it is always possible, he
says to make some effort toward
healthful living, and in connec-
ti6n with his lectures he is intro.
ducing his famous medicine Tan
lac to prove his theories.
Tanlac is called the magic
medicine and is made manly
from the medicinal properties of

laboratory, even MS mysteriously
as famous mineral waters are
formed, the science of man, the
CHEMISTS skill and acquired med.

Tanlac so far as imitation is con.
cerned.
Tanlac, it is claimed, quickly
overcom2s stomach, kidney and
intestinal ailments, and will nc.
tually prolong life by restoring
and keeping up the vigor of
youth.
In New York, Boston and Phil
as well as in Lexington,
thousands have been converted
to CoOper's theories and have
been benefited by his marvelous
medicine

INNOCENT BYSTANDING.-The
law doesn't permit judicial murder of
a man who commits burglary. The
law can't kill man for being sus-
pected of burglary. But a policeman
can kill either a burglar or a sus-
pect if he tries to run away from the
cop. And if an innocent bystander
happens to get in the way of bull
let from poiceman's gun when said
bullet is fired at a fleeing suspect
why, very likely, it isn't murder at
all. Merely an unfortunate happen
stance. And too often the innocent
bystander is more apt to be killed
than the man aimed at. Why do
cops carry revolvers, anyhow?
