 York Club.
PRIZES HAPPINESS

What is to become of the American people?"
 It was not a politician, but a clear minded, level-headed bank president who made this remark yesterday at one of the leading clubs of New York. The subject of discussion had been the enormous number of sudden deaths from heart dis ease. and nr mber of prominent gentle men were discussing it. Among the com pany was a doctor. a railroad superin- tendent and a minister of the gospel
 T tell you it is enough to make any man or woman shudder. Joseph c. Will son, the receiver of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. died at the Hol- land house, New York before he had a chance to bid his wife and daughters farewell. George F. Root, the sweet singer and composer, passes away in a similar manner. Indeed, we none of us can tell what moment we may be called and it ought to make anyone stop and think
 The company all looked at the doctor He said:
 Your remarks are well timed. The strains, the pressure the competition in business, professional and social life often tend to shorten life and bring it to quick close but no man ever died sud- denly who did not have warnings-dan- ger signals, if you please-in advance. If he did not have pains around the heart, which is quite probable, he had pains in other parts of the body, espe- cially in the muscles, joints and front or base of the brain.

 Not at all, replied the eminent physi- clan; regulate the life-use care and some good regulating, life-prolonging remedy, and there need be but little doubt of good old age. I know of one thing which for very many years has shown itself able to accomplish this and there are thousands of people who pro long their lives and preserve their health by It's use.'
 think I know to what you refer," said the minister.
 What is it?" asked the doctor.
 If am not mistaken, it is Warmers Safe Cure, of which I have seen much. and to whose influence I owe a great deal.''
 " You are correct" replied the doctor, "and there are many other advanced people who realize it's great value as you do It is perhaps, the misfortune of this age that people will shorten their lives, but I believe that heart disease, apo plexy heart failure and all the many troubles which so suddenly remove men and women might be avoided if the warn ings which nature gives were needed and the right remedy used in time.'
 There can be no question as to the soundness of the views expressed by these gentlemen, nor of their value to those who desire to take advantage of them. Certain it Is that sudden death need not be feared if proper precaution and care are usad
