GUT BECAUSE OF JAPS
Fortifications Bill In House Fared
From $38,443,945 TO $8,210,611.
THE C0M1WTTEE AFRAID OF ALMM
That Japan Wight Ren'sc'nably Foel
That United States Was Fixing for
War the Reason?Continental Uni?

WASHINGTON, D. C March 17.?
The fortifications Mil, carrying a to?
tal appropriation of (8,210,011 Inatead
ot tho $38,443,046 asked for by the
war department, wns reported today
to tho House committee on appropri?
ations by Chairman Smith, of Iho
?subcommittee on fortifications.
Tho subcommittee felt, aside front
other considerations, Hint to roconi
niend an appropriation of $:t8.iltil),n0()
for fortlflciillons at this time woul:'
he an notion which might bo very
reasonably const rued by Japan as on
official declaration Hint the United
State? was preparing against a war
with that nation.
Tho amount recommended by the
committee la larger than any Which
haH been annually appropriated since
the Spnnlsh-American war. The out
ting down of the department's esti?
mates by $30,233,334 means, among
other things, that tho committee has
recommended practically nothing for
continental United State,-, and has ap?
propriated mainly for Iho Hawaiian
and Philippine Islands, Tho commit?
tee bus turned down onttrely the de?
partment's proposal for the fortlflcM
tlon of Manila halber by tho construc?
tion and fortification or in artificial
island, and nothing Is carried for
Sublg Pay.
The only points in continental Unit?
ed States appropriated for In the hill
as revised by the committee nra De?

cally everything Is allowed Hint was
recommended by iho Tart hoard, ov

An intoresling Interview was re
t-ontly obtained with 1.. T. Cooper, the
young man whose theory and medi?
cines have created such a sensation
during tho past year.
Mr. Cooper, in speaking of the re?
markable success of his medicine, had
this to say on tho subject: "My
medicine regulates the stomach. That
Is why It Is successful. The huninu
stomach today has become degener?
ate, and Is tho cause for most ill
health. In the horse, the dog, und
the wild animals generally, you sei
no nervo exhaustion, no chronic de?
bility. They" are not shut up day
arter day with practically no exercise
and they aro not able to stuff them?
selves with food when their bodies
have not had enough work to Justify
It. Tho human race ims been doing
this for years, ami look at the result
?half the people are complaining of
poor health, not real Illness?Just a
half-sick, tired, droopy feeling. They
don't renlly know what Is the matter
with them.
'fl know that all the troublo Is
caused by weak, overworked stom?
achs. I have proved this with my
medlclno to many thousands of peo?
ple In most of tho leading cities of
this country. I expect to do tho same
thing In Kuropc next year. Thla Is
the real reason for tho demand tor
my preparation."
Among those wjio have rtf:cntlv
l?on convertod to Cooper's theory Is
Mr. Monroe Brown, of 8 Hancock

has this to say of his experlenco with

mated. This was trimmed down to
$176,000. Bight hundred thousand
dollars was designated as necessary
for the purchase of mountain, fieldi

lowed only $:tl)0,000.

hearings upon the public utilities
