HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed. BUT Look for the
Cause.

DO MOI BE Alarmed. but LOOK Tor the
Cause.
Heart troubles, at lea st among Americans,
are certainly increasing and while this may
be largely due to the worry and excitement
OF American business life, II is more often
the result of weak stomachs, OF poor diges-
tion.
Real, organic heart disease is incurable;
but not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by branches OF the same great
nerves, the sympathetic and Pneunlogastric.
In another way, also, the heart If affected
by that form Of poor digestion, which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food, there is feeling of oppression and
heaviness i'll the chest caused by pressure
OF the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action; bence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which irritates
and wcakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles Is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation OF food.
This can best be done by the regular use,
after meals, OF some safe pleasant and ef-
fective digestive preparation, like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain valua-
ble, harmless digestive elements, in pleas
ant, convenient form.
II is safe TO say that the regular, persis-
tent use of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time, will cure any form OF stomach
trouble except cancer OF the stomach.
Full size packages OF the Tablets sold by
most druggists at so cents OF by mail from

The grand jury, beside these present
meuts, brought in indi ctments against

I. F. Burroughs store; John Nelson, the
gambler, for stealing a lot of gambling
paraphernalia from the county courthouse,

be learned here. and the young mans
family are very reticent. His father has
gone to Caroline.

SO that the school teachers and Sunday

Gen. George C. Hazleton, ex-Congressmar
and ex-District attorney, was up at tn,
Senate end OF the Capitol yesterday.
He was hunting the room of the Commit
tee on Enrolled Bills. But he wouldn't tel
, any one why lie wanted it.
He was ready. though, to talk about the
wants and needs of the people of the Dis
trict. The general is assertive when he
starts out. and can raise a regular Wisconsin
breeze when he wants to.
He is for The Times and the people. He
believes in The Times hence he must be
for the people.
yes, you're the only paper in town that
Is hammering away against the mono poles
We appreciate awfuliy the fact that we've
got one friend.
FOR CHEAP GAS
Whats the matter with chea gas? Moth
ing at all. We ought to have it, Wemust
have 1t. ! believe The Times will get 1t
for US.
whats the matter with the dollar gas
bill? What's the matter with the Stone
bill introduced in the House? What's the
matter with the Kyle bill introduced in
the Senate? Nothing at all.
They are new companies, of course but
that shouldn't matter. We can stand a
gas. tel, you this gas monopoly must CO."
BY this time in his search for the Commit
tee on Enrolled Bills he had stra yed around
to the Senate document room. He had
been to the old quarters OF the committee
in the northwest wing, where Enrolled
Bills is still painted on the door. and the
doOrkeeper told him that AMI Smith
knew all about it.
Say, Smith, where the deuce is the
Committee on Enrolled Bills. A fellow
around there tells me you carry it in your
pocket?'' said the general as he swung
back the glass door OF the document room
No, ] do not responded the walking
encyclopedia OF the Senate. THE COM
mittee room is not here''
MADE AFFIDAVIT.
But the fellow made affidavit to it,"
replied the general.
Mr.. Smith explained that the reorgani-
Zation had changed the room and gave
him directions which he could not miss if
he tried and the general returned To local
matters.
Mr.. Thomas is away Just now, but
when he comes back we are going before
the District Committee on that overhead
wire resolution. Gallinger has the matter
in charge. Must knock il out.
''And the bond bill, too, Yes, it's got
to go. see the Commissioners are hust-
ling things, but well hustle after them.
They've got a big job on hand. But III
help The Times all ] cal to knock this out
Count on me-"
And the general took the elevator, de
termined to find that Committee on Enrolled
Bills.
