HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID IN.
CREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not be Alarmed, But Look For the
Cause.

Heart troubles at least among Ameri.
cans are certainly increasing, and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life, 1t is
more often the result of weak stomachs,
or poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incurable,
but not one case IN a hundred OF heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trou-
Bile and poor digestion is because both or
gans are controlled by branches of the
same great nerves, the sympathetic and
pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is af-
fected by that form of poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food; there is feeling OF
oppression and heaviness in the chest,
caused by pressure of the distended stom-
ach on the heart and lungs, interfering
with their action hence arises palpita-
ton and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart,
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble 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 effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
contain valuable, harmless digestive ele-
ments in a pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent use of Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets
lat meal time will cure any form of stom-
ZACH trouble except cancer of the stomach,
Full sized package of the tablets sold by
druggists at so cents.

Leicester Academy Trustees PIan-sor
to succeed Father-soIdler,s Funeral.

Leicester, Nov. S.-At a recent meet
ing Of the executive board of Leicester
academy, a subcommittee was appoint
ed to confer with the pupils of the
academy upon athletics generally, and
especially to arrange for a supervision
acceptable to the pupils by the trus-
tees. Col. Samuel e. Winslow was
chosen as 6. member of this special
committee, and Principal A. M. P,
Chase has drawn up a constitution and
, bylaws to be submitted to the present
l.. A. A. A., and a number of sugges-
lions from Col. Winslow based upon
his long experience, have been incorpo-
rated in the plan.
The constitution is modelled after
that in force at Phillips Exeter acad-
envy, and is drawn up SO as to cover
almost any question in conducting
academy athletics. The new bylaws
were read by the principal after school
today, and tomorrow the members of
the present athletic association will
vote upon the question of adopting
them. The specific changes in the
management of athletic affairs will not
be given out until they are adopted,
but the system will be quite different
from that now in use. The boys seem
to be in favor or adopting the new
plan, with few minor changes.

Gilt Edge Work Done By

Rutland, Nov. 3.--The record for fast
coon hunting in this vicinity was brok-
en- last night viii Hunt modestly
ascribes the success Of the hunt to his
incompatible coon dogs, Major and Zip
but there are some who think that Bill
ly could tree a coon without a dog.
Last night Mr.. Hunt was accompanied
by William r. Moore and DR.. Butler of
the state hospital. They came in be-
fore Ii o'clock and had two coons,
Weighing IS pounds. Mr.. Hunt. who
knows nearly every coon in this neigh
borhood, says the first one caught is
the finest marked coon he ever saw.
Both animals are very fat and there
are now visions of a coon dinner in
honor of the trustees of the new hos
pital.
There are few dogs in this state that
will tackle a "a pound coon unaided,
and put him out of the game
IN six minutes, not to speak
in the next half hour and freeing
y pound coon within another hour.
The boys enjoyed the sport i'm

some more before a great while

THEY THREW STONES.
Interesting Assault Case Tried in West
boro Court.

/
Westboro, Nov. 9.--Frank A. Whalen
was before the first district court here
this morning, charged with assault on
James McCabe of Southboro on Satur-
day night last. McCabe testified that
he retired to bed early and was awak-
Eened about quarter of 10 by a terrific
noise about his premises. Upon getting
up he found that there were four or
five persons on the highway fronting
the house. and they were throwing
stones and dirt at the house and shed.
Whalen challenged him to come out
and fight, and accompanied this request
with Yolley of oaths and names. Nc
Cabe dressed and obtaining a piece of
clapboard, sailed forth to drive the in
truders away.
When about 100 feet from the party
Whalen let fly a rock which landedthree
feet from McCabe, and the rest of the
party followed suit with a general vol
lev
Michael McCabe, son of the COM
plainant, testified that the party stopp-
ed near the house about o'clock in the
afternoon, and made quite a disturb
ance over pile of wood. Mr.. McCabe
made Michael sleep in the woodshed
BILE with the parties. Michael was
awakened about 9.45 O'Clock by hearing
stones and dirt that repeatedly struck
the apartment in which he slept. He
stepped into the yard before his father
arrived on the scene, and asked the
intruders what they wanted, whereup-
on Whalen took off his coat and made
the request that Michael should pro-
tect himself.
Mary McCabe, the next witness, said
that when she went out OF the house
a volley Of rocks were thrown at her,
which caused her to take shelter in
the house.
Frank Whalen, for his own defense,
stated to the court that he, in COM
pany with few of his friends, were
returning from Marlboro, Saturday
evening, where one of the party had
purchased a suit of clothes. On the
way home all of the party except him
self were singing. Wnen they arrived
in front of McCabes house the COM
plainant came out and threw stones at
them, whereupon he got out Of the

Der of years behind them, is that peo-
pie think they are old. Casual remarks
to that effect made before them come
as distinct shock. The spirit does not
grow old; 1t is merely hampered by
physical infirmities, and more particu-

People are made old; they give IN
youthful practices because people think
they should, though that was more in
the past than in the present. There is
no doubt that people, women particu-

because as they grew older it was
proper for them to give up this and
that and settle down. Now that grand

changed somewhat
