HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLE.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For the
Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing, and
while this may be largely due to the ex
citement and worry of American busi
ness life, it is more often the result of
weak stomachs; of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable ; but
not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble ia organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion ia because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is ef
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There is a feeling of
oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure of the distended
stomach on the heart and lungs, inter
fering with their action ; hence arises
palpitation and Bhort breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irri
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the disgestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food.
This can be done by the regular nse
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyepepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores, and which
contain Valuable, harmless digestive
elements in a pleasant, convenient form.
It is safe to say that the regular per
sistent nse of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will . cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach. .
Full sized package of these tablets
sold by druggists at 50 cents. Little

Louisville, Ky., March 7. The Ohio
river is rising here at the rate of two

Bow to Fnmt Pneumonia.
You are perhaps aware that pneu
monia always results from a cold or from
an attack of La Grippe. DnriDg the
epidemic of La Grippe a few years ago
when bo many caees resulted in pneu
monia, it was observed . that the attack
was never followed by that disease .when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used.
It counteracts any tendency of a cold or
La Grippe to result in that dangerous
disease. It is the best remedy in the
world for bad colds and La Grippe.

New York, March 7. A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says : After the
insurgents bad been driven off last night
from in front of Mariquina they came
back 500 strong and cut off a company
of the Nebraska volunteers.
This morning General Hale sent out
three companies of the Nebraska regi
ment and two companies of the Second
Oregon to dislodge them. The enemy,
who were holding a strong position
among the rocks, fired several volleys at
the advancing Americans, but the latter,
by a flank movement, drove the Filipinos
over the hills.
No sooner was this fight well under
way than the insurgents to the south of
the water works, knowing that the forces
there bad been weakened by sending
troops to Mariquina, attacked the water
works in the rear. -Their object was to
cut off the pumping station, but they did
not succeed. Their fire was heavy and
oqr small loss was due solely to the bad
marksmanship of the Filipinos. The
enemy's dead numbered twenty. Returns
now in show five Americans wounded.
The .insurgents are placing guns in
position at various points. '
The opinion of all the prominent mei
in Manila is that the military force of
the insurgent anarchy must be broken
before a stable government can be
established in the islands.

The racket is on. More noise today
than we have bad around the place for
weeks. The last few days the carpen
ter's saw and hammer was doing it all.
This week it's "Hat-noise;" every body
ia talking hats ; every other man wants
to eee "those hats" he's ' read so much
about. Every man who sees them isn't
satisfied until he's wearing one.
Same with the boys. If you notice
our windows you'll see in there

that would look equally as well as a 75c

CREASE THE ARMY
On the Contrary the Presideut Proposes
to 'Muster Out as Rapidly as
Possible.' '
Chicago, March 7. A special to the
Times-Herald from - Washington says :
Predident McKinley has decided not to
avail himself of the authprity granted by
the compromise bill to organize a pro
visional army of 35,000 volunteers.
After consulting with officials of the
war department, the president has de
cided that in view of the present favor
able outlook in Cuba and the prospect
of the complete eupprepeion of the
Philippine insurrection at an early day,
it will not be necessary, after the present
volunteer forces have been mustered out,
to have more than the 65,000 men allow
ed for the regular army nntil July 1, 1901.
It ia also his purpose to expedite the
the withdrawal of volunteers from Cuba
and the Philippines as rapidly as possible
and muster them out of the service. All
volunteers are to be brought home as
soon as enough regulars can be sent out
to-take their places.
The president will have authority
under the law to appoint volunteer staff
officers in sufficient number for. the 65,'
000 regulars. If subsequentdevelopments
show the necessity for more men the
president will then exercise his power to
enlist all or part of the 35,000. ' -
