decision has been handed down here
today by Judge W. H. A. Pike, refusing

to the state and takes up such residence
here as proves conclusively a bona fide
Intention to remain here.

PEOPLE OF THE WEST
FLOCKED TO SEE COOPER
Sufferers From All Sorts of His Eager to Learn About
His Theory and Medicine.
During a recent tour In the West, L.
T. Cooper made visits of several weeks
In various cities In Kansas, where
thousands of people talked with him
and purchased hie medicine.
His success was so phenomenal ns to
eause universal comment both by the
publlo and the press. There must be a
reason for this. Here Is the reason
| given In hla own word* by Mr. Cooper
' when Interviewed on the subject. He
| said:
"The Immense numbers of people
: who are calling on me here In the
I West Is not unusual. I have had the
same experience for the paal two years
wherever 1 have gone. The reason le
a simple one. It la because my medi
cine put* the stomach Into good con
dition. This does not sound unusual,
but It ia In fact the key to health. The
stomach Is the very foundation of life.
I attribute TO peo rent of all sickness
directly to thd stomach.
"Neither anlmala nor men can re-
! main well with a poor digestive appa
ratus. Few can be sick with a diges
tion In perfect condition. As a matter
I of fact, meet men and women today
are half-sick. It la because too much
food and too little exercise have grad
ually forced the stomach Into a hatf-
elck condition. My medicine gets the
i stomach back wlyre. It was, and that
la all that Is necessary.”
1 Among Kansas people who nn
stanch believers In Mr. Cooper's the
ory le Mr. J. L. Haysllp, redding at
208 Kansas avenue, Oakland, Kansas.
He says:
"For aome time I have been a suf
ferer from rheumatism. It finally be
came ao bad that 1 could not sleep at
night, and I was getting worse every
day,,despite the fact that I was using
various remedies that had.been recom
mended to me.
"One evening I hnppened to notice
In the Topeka papers an article about
the preparations Mr. Cooper was In
troducing In that city, and although
I was skeptical of results, I decided
to give them a trial.
"I went to Mr. Cooper'* headquar
ters and bought a bottle of the New
Discovery medicine. It seemed to help
me from the-start,, and within a week
I ksi feeling' like n different man. Its
continued use has relieved me of rheu
matism and my sleep Is now sound
and restful. 1 am feeling better In
every way.
"My wife also uaed the New Discov
ery with very beneficial results for
kidney trouble and nervouenes*. Fre
quently while handling the dishes her
arm would give a Jerk and the dishes
would fall to the floor and break. She
could not rest well at night. She had
severe pains across her back and felt
weak and exhausted all the time.
"After taking Cooper's New Discov
ery a short time her nerves were won
derfully quieted and strengthened, the
pain in her bnck subsided, ehe slept
more soundly and felt much Improved
In every way. The New Discovery
did her more good than any medicine
she had ever taken,
, "Cooper'* New Discovery Is the first
medicine I have ever used that has
done exnctly as claimed, and I can
honestly recommend It to others.”

Weak Hearts
“I was terribly afflicted with my
heart. At times it seemed to miti
every other beat. I took Dr. Miles'
Heart Remedy until my trouble was
all gone—it has never returned.”
R. R. PENN, Springviile, Iowa.
One person in every four has a
weak heart. Some are born weak,
some become weak from disease,
others by over-exertion. If you have
palpitation, fluttering, irregular pulse,
short breath, oppressed feeling in
chest, smothering or faint spells,
you may know your heart is weak.
There is nothing better for a weak
heart than
Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy.
It has brought relief to thousands,
it should to you, even in cases of
long standing.
The first bottle will benefit; If not,
your druggist will return your money.

f What JoyThey Bring
To Every Home
as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and
how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they
enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should bp taught to form and the wholesome
di$t of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved,
not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an Injuri
ous or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist
nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure
and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co.
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna has come into general favor in many millions of
well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon
personal knowledge and use. ,
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna has also met with the approval of physicians gen
erally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform
all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna, obtained by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act
most beneficially, and presented In an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Cal
ifornian blue - figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret
remedy, and hence we are free to refer to all well Informed physicians, who do
not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication.
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna always has the full name of the Company—California Fig
Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in
bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent
size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it.
If you fail to gej the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family
should always have a bottle on hand, as It is equally beneficial for the parents and
the children, whenever a laxative remedy Is required.

Barbed Wire Antiseptic
A New Discovery.;
The PARIS MEDICINE COMPANY, 2622-30 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo.
manufacturers of LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE and other standard prep
arations have a new discovery that far surpasses anything ever placed on the
market for barbed wire cuts, burns and old sores.
When Marconi stated that he could send messages across the ocean with*
out a wire or cable, the world did not believe it; if we were to tell you that
Dr. Porter’s Antiseptic Healing 09
will cure a barbed wire cut in one day, will absolutely relieve the pain of a
bum instantly and will cure old sores which other remedies have failed to
cure, you would not believe it; therefore we have instructed all Druggists to
refund the money to purchasers in every case where it fails to do all we claim
for it.
We Mean It
It is needed in every home. When any of th6 family are severely burn
ed or cut, or a horse is badly injured on the wire fence you haven’t time to
send to town for a remedy, but you need it at once; therefore do not delay to
purchase a 25c package under our positive guarantee.
A Cut Never Matters, or Suppurates, after it is once applied.
It not only relieves the pain of a burn instantly, but wul take out all in*
flammation and soreness in one day.
It will-cure granulated eye-lids and old chronic sores, no matter of how
long standing. It is just as valuable for household use as it is for stock.
