The people of Oregon are rousing up to the fact that to strike at the State university Is to wound the state In a vital spot and Inflict an injury from which It will take years to re cover. Nothing would give Oregon a blacker eye with Intending homeseek ers alt over the union than for the voters to say they are opposed to high er education. If people who live In Oregon, or come to this state, have to send their sons and daughters to outside universities In order to give (hem a complete education, they will be disposed to move to the states where such means of education are Upheld with pride by the people. To carry the referendum against the State university will be the beginning of a general , movement against all forms of advanced education finally resulting In elimination of all but pub lic schools. If Oregon should become (ha only state In the union without a state university, it would be the one tate held up to scorn by the whole C(v)l!xed world as the spot on the Pa Cllo coast to stay away from as they would evade a land infested with the plague. Eugene Register. Among the referendum bills that will come before the people this spring will be one that deals with the appro priation for the State university at Eugene, and unless the signs are mis leading It will be approved by an over whelming majority, and It la up to astern Oregon to do Its part in this matter. A state that strangles Its edu cational Institutions Is a good one (o get out of, and Oregon does not pro pose to be in this class. Union Re publican.

An Interesting Interview was re cently obtained with L. T. Cooper, the young man whose theory and medi cines have created such a sensation during the past year. Mr. Cooper, in speaking of the re markable success of his medicine, had this to say on the subject: "My medi cine regulates the stomach. That Is why it is successful. The human Btom ach today bas become degenerate, and la the cause for most ill health. In tne none, the dog, and the wild an! mala generally, you see no nerve ex hatutlon. no chronic dohtlltv Tliav are not shut up day after day with pracucaiiy no exercise, and they are not able to stuff themselves with food when their bodies have not had enough work to Justify It The human race has been doing this for years, and iuok at me result nail tne people are comnlslnlns- nf nnnr hnnlth nut m.i 1. f " -.v.vu, UK. .

I attributed this to my stomach trouble, as my cir culation was very poor. What food I ate would turn to gas almost at once. I would have a sensation of bloating, and would have to belch frequently to relieve this. My heart also became affected, and I would suddenly become dizzy and have palpitations.
