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 Amer
leans, 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, of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is in
durable; 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 sympa-
thetic and pneumogastrfc.
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 a. feel
ing Of oppression and heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure of the dis =
tended 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 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
be found at most drug stores, and
which contain valuable. harmless di-
gestive elements in a pleasant convent
ent form.
It is safe to say that the regular,
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form of stomach trouble except cancer
of the stomach.
Full-sized package of the tablets sold
by druggists at so cents.
Little book on stomach troubles
mailed free. Address Stuart Company,

RECORDS.

The records of the California volun-
teers during the war with Spain, are
now being written up by this office.
This entails a large amount of clerical
work, which will have to be continued
during all the time the California
troops remain in the United States SER
vice. The preparation of complete
index Of these troops is contemplated,
so that a complete history of every Of
ficer and enlisted man of the Califor-
MIA volunteers can be readily obtained.
The records of the office are continu-
ally increasing, and it will be but
short time before additional room tor
the same will be required by the Office
To enable this department to keep up
with the volume of work now neces-
sary to be done, the service of two ad-
ditional clerks not now authorized by
law is absolutely necessary.
Since assuming control Of the ofi1ce

~sforcing thousands of people to eat
darker bread than has. ever been seen
since the introduction of the patent
goller process of making flour. His
control of Is, ZOO, 900 bushels of contract
wheat means, they say, that the millers
are grinding the best grain they can
procure since their supply of No. l
hard spring wheat has become eX-
hausted and the best is not very good.
Grocers and retail flour dealers have
been receiving complaints regarding
,breadstuffs from cooks and housewives
Wfho have been sent sacks and barrels
of flour marked with the ~fanciest
5bTandS and bought at the highest price.
But the lOudaSt protests have been
raised by the restauranters and bakers
