HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES,
DO Not BE Alarmed, But Look for the
Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among Amer
leans, are certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American
business life, il is more often the re-
suit of weak stomachs, of poor diges-
tion.
Real, organic heart disease is incur
able; but not one case in u 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 Sympa-
thetic and the Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart Is at
fected by that form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food there Is a
feeling of oppression and heavlness In
the chest caused by pressure of the
distcnded stomach on the heart and
lungs. interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment Tor
heart troubles is to improve the di-
gCstion and to insure the prompt as
similation of food.
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals, of some safe, pleas
ant and effective digestive preparation,
like Stuart's Dyspepsia TaDiets, which
| may be found at most drug stores and
which contain valuable, harmless di-
| Eestive elements, in a pleasant, con-
Vcnient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular, per-
| sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
| let's at meal time will cure any form OF
| stomach trouble, except cancer oil

Robert r. Porter's Estimate of James
T.DuBois of fSusquehnnna County.

Robert p. Porter. in his New York
letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer,
makes the following reference to the
talented Pennsylvania, who is per-
sonally known to many readers of The
Tribune:
when a presidential appointment is
made that for political or some other
reasons can he criticised, the thunder
and lightning of our mugwump press
is loud and vivid, and the whole ad-
ministration is promptly denounced
for It, on the other hand, the eXcep-
tionally good appointments are too
often dismissed with a mere two or
three line item, stating the fact ana
nothing more. Thus, while 1t is our
custom to make much public commo-
tion over the occasional appointments
which are not so good, the MANY eX-
ceedingly satisfactory ones are heard
Of but little. This thought is suggest
ed by the fact that we have seen little
in relation to the appointment of that
capable PENNSYLVANIA. Mr.. James 7.
Dubois, as consul-general to St Gaul,
Switzerland. Mr. Dubois started i'm
the diplomatic service of the country
eighteen, perhaps twenty years ago,
for | recall crossing the Atlantic with
him in the Britannia, seventeen years
ago this very month. and he had then
been in the service some years, and
had been promoted from minor posi-
tiOn to the consulate at Aachen. or
AiX-la -Chapelle, as the French still call
it. MIR. Dubois has been one of our
most capable officers, speaks German
and French luently. and conscicn-
tiously performs his public duties as
they should be without any consider
alton save that of representing faith
fully the Importance and dignity of the
United States abroad. Mr. Dubois is
man of fortune, and l sometimes
think If he had not been so wellto-do
he would have made his mark in the
more active sphere of national poll
tics, for he Is an excellent stumT
speaker, as well as careful and
thoughtful student of public affairs
Meeting an old friend of Mr.. Dubois
formerly a resident of Pennsylvania
few days ago in one of the New York
clubs, he said: I have always won.

A POOR SMILE.
To WiIlie's Mind the Bird Did Not
Suggest Freedom.

From the Washington Star
The athletic young man was inhal-
ing great lungfuls of the crisp air.
It's almost worth the depression of
a high temperature with lots of humid
ity," he was saying, 'to fully appre-
ciate this eXhilarating atmosphere. 1t
needs some unpleasant experience as
a standard of comparison to enable us
to fully enjoy happiness when we real
ly attain it,"
"Its very refreshing" replied Willie
Washington.
1T positively makes a new man of
me-" the rhapsodic friend persisted. 1T
maNs me forget all about this life
and its sordid cares. / feel as free as

"As free as what?" was the rather
anxious inquiry.
LAS a bird. DO you object to the
comparison?"
Yes. / don't like to interfere with
your rainbows of fancy nor your flow
ers of speech. But l wish you could
have said that in some other way.

he St, Nicholas Magazine.

From the st, Nicholas Magazine.
When the Empire State Express or
the Congressional Limited rushes
across the country at the rate of sew
enty miles an hour, making milc-posts
and trees skip by in fantastic disorder,
the mind of many q passenger is
troubled by question that continually
arises at every sharp sway or jolt Of
the cars: "Is there not danger in such
rapid travelling"
In his seat forward the engineer
would reply grimly to this question
with negative shake of the head,
ard the general superintendent Of the
road or the train dispatcher, in his Of
flee at headquarters, would second this
answer with a more emphatic NO"
But why? According to all the
mathematical rules we learned at
school and college, the faster a NOV
ing body swings along certain course.
the more difficult it is to swerve 1t
from its path. and the more terrible is
the collision if it should strike an OBJ
stacle.
Why then. is not rapid running more
dangerous than slow? Because the
engines used for this service are larger,
better equipped, and better cared for
than any Others" the engineer would
reply. They are provided with every
modern device to prevent accident;
and though they fairly fly along the
track, they are never beyond our i'm
mediate control And then--we'rc more
wide awake and alert for danger"

SCRANTON. PITTSTON.
THE MOST DISAPPOINTED MAN.
IT is an Awful Shock to a Theater-
goes TO Get What lie Asks For.

From the Ne" YORK Tribune.
DO YOU think that many people
really object to sitting under the bal
cony?" the reporter asked, referring
to the recently published scheme of Il
theater with no seats in that distress
ing position.
Look inside the house there" the
manager answered. Its full of people
that are glad to get chance to stand
under the balcony, to say nothing OF
sitting down. 1t simply depends on
your play. If you have a good play
they will crowd in and sit anywhere,
and if you haven't a good play they
won't come at all.
They make a great fuss about the
seats where they want to sit, and the
most of them want to be next to the
aisle, in the fourth row, but if they
really want to see the play they will
sit anywhere. l wish we could build
a theater with all the seats on the
aisle in the fourth row, but we cant,
and we have to do the best we can.
a man came in here the other day and
pointed to the aisle seats in the fourth
row, as usual, and said he must have
those two seats. The treasurer told
him they were taken. He said he must
have them or something close to them
and nothing else would do. The treas
urer told him he had none to sell close
TO those. The man argued for little
while and then said What can you
give me in the orchestra"
81 cant give you anything in the
orchestra, the treasurer said.
"'What have you got upstairs, then"
said the man.
Nothing but the back row. said
the treasurer.
IN the end he bought two seats in
the back row upstairs, after declaring
that he couldn't sit anywhere but in
the fourth row of the orchestra. An
other man came out the other night,
threw down two coupons and said; See
here: / want those seats changed;
they are behind a post.
Il happened to be standing behind
the treasurer and ! said: Give him
back his money; we have no other
seats in The house. but we can sell
these over again easily enough As
SOun as he found that there was moth
ing else to be had he was perfectly
content.
But the most disappointed man in
the world is the one who gets what he
asks for. If he asks for the fourth
row and you give it to him, he in
stantly finds that he doesn't want it.
II he finds that he can get the seats
that he wants, he is at once convinced
that there must be something wrong
with the play, and he feels that he
has made a mistake and wishes that he
had gone to some other theater"

THERE IS NO SECRET HIDDEN
In This The Truth is Laid Bare
People Now Beginning to Realize
the True Merits of Honest Advertise
ing.


That the Chicago Combination Cloth
ing Co., of 2l1 Washington avenue, op-
posite the Court House, are strictly
living up to their advertisements is
now fully assured There is nothing
hidden in their mode of doing business
and the truth is laid bare. You will
wonder why it is, and no doubt you
will be astonished when you read their
advertisements. When they announce
the sale of such high-grade goods at
such ruinously low prices. This firm
can we'll afford to sell these goods at
such prices, as they buy goods from
people who are either giving up busi-
ness and must raise money; also from
bankrupt concerns, sheriff sales, and
in fact from wholesalers who are hard
pressed for money. The Chicago Com
bination Clothing Co. have eight steady
buyers who are continually on the look
out for such stocks, and in a great
many cases they are successful in OBJ
tanning these goods at from twenty
five to fifty per cent. on the dollar,
| thus enabling them to place the same
on sale, adding a small percentage for
profits and turning the stock quickly
| and giving the people such bargains
! that under ordinary circumstances they
could not secure. Thus it will be seen
when thev announce sale it is not
| mere fiction or newspaper talk, but
| actual facts. The great sheriff sale
which is now in progress in their store
is creating the talk Of the town If you
are in need of any clothing for men.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Abraham Sprawls was a veteran of

One of his sOns--and he had a family
of fifteen-had witnessed the accident,
and running toward him, shouted:
Trains cut off dads leg, an he'll
git damages!"
He lifted the old man to inspect his
wounds, but suddenly let him fall, say
ing:
Hang it all! It's his wooden leg
they've cut off,"
Yes" groaned the old man as they
wheeled him home. tits jest my burned
luck. Can't see, ter save me, how they
