’SOME STATEMENTS
REGARDING NEW THEORY
Followers of Cooper and his Novel Ideas Give Reason
Eor Their Belief in Him.
With a theory that human health is
dependent on the stomach and with a
medicine which he says proves this
theory, L. T. Cooper, a comparatively
young man, has built up an immense
following during the past year.
Cooper has visited most of the lead
ing cities of the country, and in each
city has aroused a storm of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens of thousands,
and his preparations have sold in im
mense quantities.
The sale of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and is
growing enormously each day. in view
of this, the following statements from
two of the great number of followers
which he now has, are of general
interest.
Mrs. Agnes Viggenhouser, of 942 St.
Louis Avenue, Chicago, aas the follow
ing to say on the subject of the Cooper
preparations: "For more than ten
years I was broken down in health. I
could not sleep and 1 was very ner
vous. Gradually I began to lose my
memory, until I could not remember
things from one day to another. I had
severe pains and cramps in my body,
and 1 would at times see dark spots
before my eyes. I was unable to do
any work whatever, as my strength
was failing. I had no appetite, nor
could I take any medicine.
“I had about given up hope of ever
being rvell again when I read of Mr.
Wedding Presents.
I invite you to compare my stock
and prices with others and you
will always trade at Bells.

Cooper's remedies. I decided to give
them a trial, and I began to feel better
| at once. After taking the medicine for
two weeks I can say that I am a new
woman. I can eat with enjoyment,
the pains in my body have left me, and
j 1 am stronger than 1 have been for
years.
“I cannot say enough for Mr.
Cooper’s remedies. They are wonder
ful, for they have done everything
claimed for them in my case.”
Another statement by Mr. W. B.
Stewart, 109 W. Madison St., Chicago,
is as follows: “I have had stomach
trouble for years, and anyone who is
afflicted this way knows what an aw
ful distressed feeling it causes. Many
a time I have felt that I would give
most any price to be cured. It was by
accident that I heard of this man
Cooper's remedies. I immediately
made up my mind to buy a treatment
of him. I used it for about tw r o
weeks, and it is impossible to tell how
much good it has done me. I feel
altogether different. I have more life
and energy than I have had for years.
This medicine certainly does stimu
late and strengthen the whole sys
tem. Tired feeling and weak condi
tion of the stomach has entirely pass
ed away. I feel well again.”

SAVINGS BANKS ISSUE
INSURANCE POLICIES
New Regime Begins In
Massachusetts Today.
BOSTON, MASS., Oct. 31.—(Special)
—With the design of benefiting wage
earners, an act believed by many of
its advocates to be the most important
single measure passed by the legisla
ture of any state this year becomes ef
fective tomorrow. By the enactment
of this measure, which has been taken
advantage of by many savings banks,
the Massachusetts legislature has
accomplished a novel thing, at least
so far as the western w r orld is con
cerned. in permitting the establish
ment of a new type of life insurance,
earner of the Bay state who wants
On and after tomorrow, the wage
protection for his family through one
of the policies of the type known as
"industrial” —that is, whose prem
iums are payable at frequent inter
vals—will be able to exercise a choice.
Henceforth there will be competition
between two different life insurance
systems. The workingman may go to
a savings and insurance bank—a new
title in Massachusetts,as it is in the
entire country—and arrange to take
out life insurance not exceeding SSOO,
with the understanding that he is vol
untarily to pay his premium once a
month without the urging of a collec
tor. He may also buy there an annu
ity of a value not to exceed SIOO. If
he has an account at the savings de
partment of the bank he may arrange
to have his premium paid from there
automatically, as they fall due.
Cheap Insurance.
One of the greatest advantages
claimed for the new system of savings
insurance is, of course, its cheapness.
The expense of sandbagging people in
to insuring their lives and of collect
ing the premiums by a house to house
canvass causes this form of protection
to the wage earner to cost from two to
eight times as much as his wealthier
neighbor has to pay for ordinary life
insurance. There is, assuredly, a fa
miliar argument to the effect that the
average individual will not buy a life
insurance policy unless he is talked in
to it by an agent. Some people, how r
ever, believe that a large enough pro
portion of American laboring men are
industrious, thrifty and far-seeing
enough to do the thing they ought
without being eternally nagged about
it.
It is generally admitted that Massa
chusetts is a particularly good state
to “try out” this scheme of savings in
surance, since there are few, if any,
States which place as many safe
guards about savings banks.
Great Possibilities.
If the insurance plan adopted today
in the Bay State prove successful, it
will probably mark the beginning of a
movement that will extend over the
entire country. It has been condemn
ed in certain high financial circles as
being “socialistic,” but its adherents
believe it is better for workingmen to
be “socialistic” than to leave their
families in poverty and want.
. . LEAKY TO EAT
Few People in Americus Koally
Know llow.
Slow eating willl solve one-half the
problem of ill health. Those who suf
fer already with indigestion and weak
stomach can with care and The use of
Mi-o-na stomach tablets restore their
digestion to a healthy condition, so
that they can eat what they want at
any time without fear of distress or
suffering.
After a few days’ use of Mi-o-na
stomach tablets, the headache, dizzy
feeling, drowsiness, sleeplessness, dis
tress after eating—all these symp
toms of a weak stomach—will dis
appear, and perfect digestion and a
good skin will show that the vital
machinery is once more running
smoothly.
Take a little Mi-o-na tablet before
each meal so that it will stimulate
the digestive juices and give strength
to the stomach, and then it will take
care of the food that is eaten , with
out indigestion and the unpleasant
full feeling with which so many suf
fer after meals.
Dodson’s Drug Store have so much
confidence in the power of Mi-o-na to
cure indigestion and all stomach ills
that they give a guarantee with every
50-cent box to refund the money if the
remedy fails to give satisfaction.

BOARDING HOUSE
ADVANCE RATES
Philadelphia Landladies No
tify Their Guests.
PHILADELPHIA, PA., October
31.—(Special)—"Owing to the
rise in the price of all commodit
ies, it has been found necessary
to advance the price of board by
the week from $5 to $6. This new
rate will take effect November 1.
This notice confronted the 50 odd
boarders at a West Philadelphia es
tablishment yesterday morning and
took the edge off their appetites. The
thing long dreaded had come to pass.
The landlady had shifted the burden
of high prices upon them.
In a score of similar establishments
the same thing has taken place within
the last month. Prices range from 50
cents to $1 a week higher than they
did last year. The proprietors declare
that they have been forced to make
the increase or go out of business.
One landlady told of other things
which go to make up the menu of a
boarding house on which the advance
in prices was even more striking.
Oatmeal, the main reliance for break
fast food, cannot be had for less than
$8.50 a barrel, she said, while she paid
for the same grade a year ago $4.50.
Lima beans sell at $6.50 now and mor
rowfat beans at $5.50 per bushel, in
both cases being $1 higher. Canned
goods and dried fruits have also gone
up.
"About the worst advance has been
flour,” she continued. “It has jumped
from $4.25 a barrel to $7 for the same
grade. This has made itself apparent
in bread, too.”
The epidemic of high prices has af
fected smaller boarding houses much
more than it has the large ones. Those
who are obliged to buy in small quan
tities and pay full retail prices are
having an uphill struggle, and rates
have been going up all over the city.

Y. M. C. A. WORK
AMONG COTTON MILLS
Child Labor and Industrial Educa
tion of cotton mill operatives formed
the principal theme of the address of
William D. Harthorne, President of
the National Association of Cotton
Manuafcturers, at their convention in
Washington early this month. "Five
sixths of the children in the cotton
mills have not not graduated from
the grammer schools,” he said, "and
a very large proportion have not even
completed the seventh grade. If it is
from this class of native recruits that
our mills are getting supplies, it is to
be wondered at that we are finding
them more inefficient, shifting from
one mill to another, or apparently
seeking less work or responsibility,
rather than more wages?” He pointed
out that the remedy must be to im
part to these undeveloped employes
such instruction as the business re
quires, and that in future the mills
must give more attention to educa
tional work than they have in the
past.
One of the agencies destined to be
come useful in this connection is
the Young Men’s Christian Association
whose success in the educational
work has been remarkable, especially
in industrial fields. Thousands of
wage-earning men and boys are en
rolled in the evening classes in ele
mentary branches and in technical and
semi-technical courses. Just at this
time special attention is being given
to the projecting of its activities
among the Southern Cotton Mills.
The work of the Y. M. C. A. among
the cototn mills does not stop here,
but includes also social features, non
sectarian religious work, and the va
rious activities centering about the
gymnasium, with lectures on personal
hygiene, first aid, and the prevention
of tuberculosis.
People who have nothing invested
in stocks do not have to worry about
what is going on in the stock markets
these days.—Philadelphia Ledger.
