LEWIS ACADEMY NOTES.


Miss JekyH, the leading art teacher Of
Wichita has charge of the art and draw
ing department in Lewis academy. Her
studio is situated in the academy build
ing. Just now the studio is in disorder
from the extra Christmas work going on
there. Then the pictures which have been
on exhibition at the Unitarian Bazaar
are as yet not rehung. For these reasons
numerous, elegant and dainty creations of
art are found in the studio, scattered in
greatest profusion. aPrt of the work for
the Christmas sale is of course, as yet
unfinished, but there are already many
beautiful plates, with tints as delicate as
the touches of nature; there are cracker
jars. one with the figure of a little dar-
kie, whose eyes are as bright and impu-
dent as in real life; there is a most beau
tiful lemonade pitcher; in reality. almost
everything in the line of table china may
be found, and many dainty and fragile
pieces of bric-a-brac besides.
One of Miss Jekyll's pupils. lady from
New York City. is doing some beautiful
work. in painting china bric-a-brac to be
given as Christmas presents in her own
city, bearing testimony 10 the fact that
even New York may come to Kansas for
her training in the fine arts.
Last spring a splendid exhibition Of pic
lures in water colors was given in the stu
do. During the past summer Miss Jekyll
mas herself gone over with the flower work
in water colors which formed such an
important part Of the spring display.
This broad effective water color style IS
OF special interest to Wichita people. since
no one else here does this style of work.

" of school children. is doing excellent
work in drawing and painting This class
comprises pupils from ten TO sixteen years
OF age. All last summer they continued
their work and, although 50 young. are
very industrious and interesting. Their
work during the summer was charcoal

There are two classes under sler charge
in the academy. one Of the fourth and
fifth grades, and the other Of the sixth
and seventh grades. These classes do
free-hand drawing and are making ex-
cellent progress. They delight especially
in illustrating subjects. and stories. ard

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rap id Increase Of Heart
 Troubles.
Do Not Be Alarmed Hut 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 Ameri- can business life. it Is more often the result Of weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
 Real, organic heart disease Is incur able; but not one case In q hundred of heart trouble Is organic.
 The close relation between heart trouble and poor diges ion Is because both organs are controlled by branches of the saIue great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
 In another way, also the heart is affected by that form ot poor dlRe6- ton, which causes gas and fermenta- ton from half digested food; there is 6 feeling of oppression and heavi- 1 ness in the chest caused by pressure Of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action; hence arises palpitation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also pOisona the blood, makes it thin and watery. which irritates and weakens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble Is to improve the di- gestion ana to insure the prompt as- similation of food.
 This can best he done by the rogu- lar use alter meals. Of some safe. pleasant and effective digestive prep- aration, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab let's. which may be found at most drug stores and which contain valu- able, harmless digestive clements In pleasant, convenient form. It is safe to gay that the regular, persistent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsfa Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble except can cer of the stomach.
