that brought home to us the possi

dinner seldom equaled ami never
excelled by the highest priced ho
tels in any city. The menu was in

dressing, mashed potatoes, cabbage
hearts with pork, green onions,
beans, sweet potatoes, pickles, con
diments, pastry, fruit, etc. served in
a tasty manner and all produced on
his farm. O, no, his place is not for

fame and fortune through his new
health theories based on what is
known as the Tanlac treatment. He
never cease- to surprise you with
the infinite variety of his knowledge,
and, its absolute correctness and
thoroughness. In several of the
larger cities, especially throughout
the South, he has done a great deal
of relief work among the poor.
Mr. Cooper is a firm believer in
practical philanthropy, and bis relief
work in Atlanta is already familiar
to the charity workers of that city.
During his recent visit there he
distributed at the Piedmont Hotel,
under the personal direction of lead
ing charity workers, eleven hundred
ready-made dresses of excellent
quality to the poor women and chil
dren. Ladies prominent in Atlanta
social life and many prominent citi
zen- were on hand early in the aft
ernoon to assist in co-operating with
Mr. Cooper in this worthy cause.
A few weeks previous to this he
performed a similar service in
Birmingham and donated one thous
and dresses to the poor of that city.
Similar donations were also made in
Jackson, Vicksburg, Memphis, Sa
vannah. Montgomery, Macon, Au
gusta, Nashville. Chattanooga and
Knoxv ille, and his establishment of
the now famous “free bread line" in
Louisville, where he distributed
fifty thousand loaves of bread abso
lutely free and without question to
those in want, proved a revelation
to charity workers there. In fact, in
practically every city Mr. Cooper has
visited lie has always shown his
great sympathy for the poor and un
fortunate by performing some uni
que act of charity.
Mr. Cooper contends that nine
tenths of the diseases and ill health
of the present-day American is due
to the faulty digestion and improper
assimilation of the food, which fln
