I COOPER MET USUAL SUCCESS IN PITTSBURG Received Thanks from Hundreds While in the Smoky City. The following article, taken from the Pittsburg Press, describes the re sults of L. T. Cooper’s visit to that cHy, and the effect of his new prepara tion as told by people who had become convinced of the soundness of Cooper’s theories with regard to the human stomach. Cooper believes that the human stpmach in civilized races has become greatly weakened. He claims that most IB health of the present generation is due to this fact The article is as fol lows: “L. T. Cooper is meeting with the same astonishing success in Pittsburg ns in other cities. For the past few days many thousands of Pittsburg peo- 'ple have called at his headquarters to talk with him. "Cooper’s prophecy, made upon his arrival, to the effect that before he left Pittsburg thousands would realize that his theory is correct and would come and thank him for what his medicine had done, is rapidly being borne out. "On Monday an astonishing number of people called to express their grati tude to Mr. Cooper. Judging from what some of these people had to say to a Press reporter, when interviewed, Cooper's claim that the human atom* ach is degenerate is distinctly verified. "One of the most unusual statements was made by Mr. C. W. Woods, of 103 South Highland Street. He said: ‘For four years my wife was in very poor health. She was weak and thin, with a hectic flush and cough. Physicians said she had consumption, and I was inclined to believe them. It certainly looked as though her days were num bered, and there appeared to be very little ground for hope. ‘“Shortly after Mr. Cooper came to Pittsburg I began to hear of wonderful results that had been obtained by per sons who had tried his medicine, so I got some for my wife. She had taken it only two days when she was relieved of a tapeworm 42 feet long. She be gan to improve Immediately—has gain ed seven pounds since she began tak ing the medicine. She feels splendid and looks very much better. If any one doubts this statement I would bo pleased to have them call at my bouso and verify it.*** The Cooper remedies are be coming justly famous.

There are many attractive novel ties among the spring fashions—not the least of which is the very latest craze, the butterfly jacket, with the sleeves formed of part of the side ful ness of th<\ garment.

The prettiest as well as decidedly the most novel of these new shirt waists are made of handkerchief linen with narrow stripes of color. A vei7 chic example had a white ground with fine pink stripes. It was made very full, being tucked both front and back and trimmed with a side pleated frill, edged with pink hemstitching, that graduated towards the waist line. These waists come with stripes of all colors, pale blue, lavender, yellow, etc., and are sometimes trimmed with two frills, one overlapping the other, but both turned toward the side.

For hatg to accompany tailor gowns Of chapeaux for general wear rough straws are the smartest. These are usually trimmed with wings and rib bon but flowers are also used. For more elaborate mllinery, lace straw is the newest Idea, though the old favorites chip and Leghorn are brought into requisition as well. These hats are twisted and bent into all sorts of forms. The idea seems to be to avoid the straight line as far as the brims are concerned. Then the new sailors must by no means be omitted for they form a very important part of the spring mll- | linery. These popular hats come in very becoming shapes and are most smartly trimmed with wings or just i plainly completed in the conventional style by a band. Lucy Carter.
