SAYS CRIME IS A D1SEASL
Bad Digestion Warps Mental Attitude
and Lowers Moral Tone.
FOOD STUFFING HURTS INTELLECT
Eating Too Marts More Apt to Hour-
Ish Body Poorly Than Ratlaa; Too
l.lttle, Mays Cooper
"Stomach Man."
Is crime a disease? Does morality hinge
on the mentality, and is a man good or
wicked according as his health Is normal
or his stomach Is out of order? The
Cooper "stomach man," as he la called In
the east, claims that this la true. He was
meeting callers yesterday at tha drug de
partment of the Brandels stores. He said:
"I believe that 90 per cent of all 111 health
is caused by stomach trouble. And I be
lieve the stomach affects the mentality
and that the condition of a man's think
ing apparatus controls his conduct as a
citizen. Experts on criminology prove by
statistics that practically all crimes are
committed by individuals of weak men
tality and poorly nourished bodies. Medl
cal records show that a disordered mental
attitude results from a disordered nervous
system.
"A man doesn't have to eat too little to
have a poorly nourished body. A poorly
nourished body Is far mora apt to result
from eating too much. A man atutfs him
self with rich food, falls to take exercise
as nature Intended, and then gets dopey,
droopy, tired and half sick. He wonders
why. It's as simple as A, B, C. With
such a mass of food In his stomach it be
comes overloaded, won't work and he Is
poorly nourished. He has bad dreams,
gets a warped view of everything. The
whole world seems to be against blm. If
this has been going on from his earliest
babyhood he becomes a criminal.
"I have a medicine that I know will put
a stomach In a normal, healthy condition
In four to six weeks' time. I have talked
with Omaha people since I have been tn
Omaha, and many thousands mora In the
east before I came here. Not one person
out of 20 knew what was the matter with
themselves. I know that all this chronlo
ill health Is caused primarily by stomach
trouble and nothing else. I also know that
the preparation I came here to Introduce
will tone up the digestive organs, and
know that mighty few persons can be sick
with a digestive apparatus in perfect
shape."

Broadwell Suit
May Be Upheld
Attorney for Former Clerk of Court
Asserts Intervening Petition of
Ure is Too Late.
W. G. Ure's attempt to Intervene and
prevent the compromise between Frank
Broadwell and the Board of County
Commissioners, struck a anag before Judge
Kennedy. It may be that Mr. Ure has
been too late with his petition to Inter
ene and to vacate judgment.
When court convened, Broadwell did not
appear tn be represented by an attorney.
E. P. Smith, telephoned for, came Into
court and declared that he had refused
service on a notice of this motion of
nterventlon, for he thought his rights as
an attorney had ended, when the judgment
by stipulation waa entered, and the Judg
ment satisfied by Broad well's tendering
payment of the (1,260 to tha clerk of dis
trict court
When the compromise with the commis
sioners was reached the other day, a
Judgment by confession was entered be
fore the court In the suit, which besrs on
the matter, entitled, "The County of Doug-
as versus Frank J. Broadwell."
Moreover," added Mr. Smith, "the right
to Intervene Is a statutory one and It
Is provided that Intervention must take
plaoe before a judgment Is entered and be
fore Judgment Is satisfied by payment."
Judge Kennedy said he would like to
hear at a future date authorities on Ure's
right to Intervene, and added that the
court could of its own motion vacate a
Judgment within tha same term."
The case has thus gone over.

Call on Sphinx
Faithful Dahlmanite, J. H. McDonald
and Louis Metz Leave for Foray
Upon Egypt.
The ancient land of Egypt was In a fer
ment last night. From Cairo to Khar
toum, up and down the Nile, excitement
reigned. Fellahs rn around In rings, Mus
sulmen almost forgot to pay devoir to
their deity, camels broke tether, the har
bor of Alexandria turned on more power
for the searohllghts sweeping the Mediter
ranean, the Khedlvlal court quit Intriguing,
and even the British consul general was
aroused from habitual calm.
For the land of Egypt had Just learned
for the first time that It Is once more to
be invaded.
Egypt should be fairly well used to In
vasions. The thing began way back In the tlmo
of the Shepherd kings. Assyrians and
Babylonians descended upon Egypt, the
Oreeks under the first Ptolemy seized the
country, Julius Caesar made a play there
and a little later Ootavlus Caesar drove
off the throne the last Ptolemy and Mark
Antony.
Crusader and Mussulman contended for
Egypt and horde after horde of the latter
successively Invaded and conquered the
country. Napoleon took a whirl, and last
of all, the British bombarded Alexandria
and stayed on.
But the coming of Colonel Fanning, and
Arthur Guiou, Louis Mecs and J. II. Mo
Donald IS reported by wireless to have ex
cited Egypt as nothing has done since
somebody poisoned the sacred cat la the
te.nplo of Pasht.
But Egypt was not the only place where
the seismograph showed a violent shook
last night. In the region of Union sta
tion, Omaha, a considerable disturbance Is
reported. There were at hand several
flock of the faithful. The night was frosty,
but a plckannlny band warmed things up,
Mayor Dahlman made a hot speech and a
number of farewell presents, calculated to

Colonel Fanning ere tha train pulled out.
COST OF MAKING DRUNKARD
Nebraska City Saloon Keeper's Assets
Go to Meet Joda-ment Widow
Recovers Damages.
Deputy United States Marshal McCallum
has returned from Nebraska City where
he wound up the affairs of H. F. Schoder,
a former Nebraska City saloon keeper, by
the sale of the last of his property, yet
leaving a big deficiency Judgment. The
property sold was ten shares of building
and loan association stock, and the undi
vided half interest In the lot and building
in which the saloon was located.
The case Is a peculiar one In that
Schoder had been sued by his sureties,
the United Btatets Fidelity and Guaranty
company, who obtained a Judgment against
him In the federal courts at Lincoln.
Herman F. Schoder waa doing a thriving
business as a saloon keeper in Nebraska
City a few yearb ago, when suit was
brought against him and his bond, the
United States Fidelity and Guaranty com
pany, by Rebecca Bond, who alleged that
her husband had been debauched and made
a drunkard through patronizing Schoder'
saloon, and had aubsequently died from
such dissipation. Judgment was given Mrs.
Bond against the guaranty company for
$5,400 In the federal court at Lincoln, which
judgment the guaranty company promptly
paid.
The guaranty company then immediately
brought suit against Schoder, who In the
meanwhile had faneferred his property to
his wife. Suit was also brought against
Mrs. Schoder, the transfers of property
set aside, and an execution was ordered
against all of the Schoder property, for
the full amount of the damages paid by
the guaranty company to Mrs. Bond.
The first salt of the property under the
execution waa made November t 1909, and
the sale continued until January 3. The
latter salea Included all of tha saloon fix
tures and property of Schoder, and still
leavtu a deficiency judgment against him.

Powers, chief statistician of the census
bureau at Washington, addressed the body
In a brief talk, in which he advocated
better provision and a more generous ap
portionment of funds for the various de
partments of city government, so that

published by the census bureau.
PROSPECTIVE FIREMEN

Fire and Police Commissioners Hold
ExaminationsOfficer Pllajrlm'a
Hearing; Not Vet Concluded.
Sixty applicants for positions as city fire
men, to be placed on the reserve list, were
examined last evening by the Fire and
Police board, from which number thirty
will be selected as a waiting list. Because
of the lateness of the hour the selections
for the reserve or watting list were not
announced, but will be made' public this
afternoon.
Prior to going Into executive session for
the purpose of examining the applicants
the board listened to charges preferred
against Policeman M. A. Pilgrim, who was
charged with conduct unbecoming an offi
cer. It was alleged that Pilgrim haa played
poker with boys under 18 years of age In
the Pilgrim pool hall, Twentieth and Pierce
streets.
Juvenile Officer Mogy Bernstein appeared
with seven witnesses, boys ranging In age
from 16 to 18 years, wtio testified they had
participated In poker games with Pilgrim
and one boy testified los)ng $27. As Pil
grim's witnesses were not present hi side
of the story was put over until next week.
A petition, Blgned by property owner on
Harney and Nineteenth streets, was read,
in which the signers enter strenuous ob
jection to the city erecting and maintaining
a fire station at Nineteenth and Harney
streets, the argument being raised that the
property owned there by the city Is too
valuable to be used for such purpose. The
communication or petition was referred to
the council without comment.
Adjournment waa taken until this after
