Here nature basks in the sunshine of her Own
beauty; and here she has established her
own sanitarium, where eternal spring in
spires everlasting youth With the snow
mantled peaks of the Sierras upon the one
hand, the calm Pacific with its soft breezea
upon the other and veritable paradise oi
flowers, fruits and plants between, man can
find and needs no lovelier land. To visit
such a country is privilege, blessing.

No district in America presents, during the
Winter season, so many varied attractions as
the State of Florida. Besides It's delightful
climate, which to one escaping from the cold
and unhealthful changes Of the North seems
almost ethereal it is prominently a land of
sport and pleasure, Along its eleven hundred
miles of saltwater coast aud in its twelve
hundred fresh-w lakes are fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from the migm-
tory tribes common to Northern waters to tile
tarpOn, pOmpanO, and others of more
tropical character. Nowhere in all our broad
land can the angler find greater variety of
game or better sport
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer turkeys, bears, panthers,
and wild cats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions, while birds of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the State. The more novel sport of al
ligator and manatee hunting may also be in
dulged in by the more adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing, its fishing and hunting ard its
extensive forests, Florida presents unrivaled
attractions for the yaetudinarian, the lover
of nature, the sportsman and the explorer
70 this attractive state the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged four per-
sonally-cOnducted tours during the season rt

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

If there is one thing more to be regretted
than another i'm the discussion aroused over
the case of Superintendent Bogart it is the
manifest attempt to stir up the worst feeling
possible over the matteC, and the people who
have been in the back ground and who have
been stirring up this feeling that are respon-
sble for condition of affairs which the town
has not seen for 20 years. irresponsible
mouth pieces in public print have been found
who have been only too willing to assai those
members of the School Board, who were not
TO be swerved from their duty by a minority
for interested motives, and abusing the
majority members Of the Board only adds
fuel to the flame and it behooyes the people
who have kept in the background to call
off these mougrels, now that the case has
been disposed of by a conviction which would
be much more convincing had it been secured
through other instruments. The members
of the board were not to be sweryed from
their idsa of duty by personal blackguard-
ism, and we question whether they will be
Influenced by any such exhibitions Of
malignant hostility in tho future but will
discharge their duties according to their best
Judgment not according to the wishes of a
faction which has been in the minority for
sono years past. 1t is well known that these
genGeuen have patiently borne all the
vitupeatiou heapsd upon them for their ex-
pressed intention to see that the accused
superintendent was given that fair treatment
every one is entitled to- That their ideas of
what was proper under the circumstances
differed from those of the minority was to be
expected but that they should be subjected
to the abuse Of irresponsible sclibblers whose
sole interest in the matter appears to be to
array different classes against each other is
outrageous, and for the good Of all concerned
it would be well if those who are behind the
scenes commanded them to halt ere the mis-
chief grows to larger proportions.
Now that the matter has been disposed Of
by jury we believe the School Board will
take such action as they deem proper, re-
gardless of the persecution they are likely to
be subjected to. They did not swerve from
their duty in the past when strong influence
was brought to bear upon thom to recede
from their position, and we believe they are
lust as courageous to-day and viii do what
they consider is right regardless Of outside
influences or disappointed parties.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THO RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not be Alarmed, But Look For the
Cause

' Heart troubles, at least among Americans
are certainly increasing and while this may
be largely due to the excitement and worry
Of American business life it is more often
the result of weak stomachs, of poor diges
ton.
Real, organic heart disease is incunble
but not one case in 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 Pneumogastrc
In another way, also, the heart is affected
by that form of poor digestion which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested food
there is a feeling of oppression and heavines'
in the chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs, in
terfering with their action hence arise!
palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
makes it thin and watery, which irritatei
aud weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for hear
troubles is to improve the digestion and K
insure the prompt assimilation Of food.
This can best be done by the regular use
after meals, of some safe, pleasant and eff
lcctive digestive preparation, like Stuarti
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found a
most drug stores and which contain valuable
harmless digestive elements, in y pleasant
convenient form.
It is safe to say that the regular, persis
tent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets a
meal time will cure any form Of stomach
trouble, except cancer of stomach.

ture and not to one acting independently.
He states that with the exception Of the
hay crop this farmers of Pennsylvania
nave little cause for complaint as to the
yields of the past season. Nearly all the
crops were above the average, and that of
corn was one of the largest for years
There was an unusual amount Of irregu-
larity in some crops, which was due to the
fact that certain districts of the state
suffered more than others from the uni
versal drought of the past summer.
Secretary Edge also advises TINT as soon
as the condition of the state treasury will
permit m attesIpt should be made to OBJ
