HEART DISEASE
SonE FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, but Look Fol
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. it
is more often the result of weak stOmachs
of poor digestion.
Real organic heart disease is incura BILE;
but not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic
The close relation between heart troub-
le and poor digestion is because both or
gans are controlled by branches Of the
same great nerves, the Sympathetic Pne-
umOgastric-
In another way also the heart is affect
ed by that form of poor digestion which
causes gas and fermentation from half
digested food: there is feeling Of Op
preston and heaYiness in the chest, caus
ed by pressure of the dfstended stomach
on the heart and lungs, interfering with

One hour later there was another fire

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. be
found at most drug stores, and which
contain valuable harmless digestive ele-
ments in a pleasant convenient form
It is safe to say that the regular. per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form Of stO-
mach trouble except cancer of the sto-
mach.

ARE YOU THIN?
Do You Want to Become FIeshy ?
A FEW SIMPLE RULES.
Flesh and Not Fat Is What Is Needed.

What thin people want is flesh and not
fat. To be Symme etrical and properly pro-
pOrtioned every person should have a Ger
taing amount of flesh. To be plump
does not necessarily mean to be fat Fat
is undesira BILE: it clogs and retardS the
action of every muscle. interferes with
the healthy action of the heart and lungs
and when excessive predispOseS to fatty
degeneration of vital organs, to say moth
ing of the discomfort, more or less, re-
sulting from excessive adipOse tissue.
Common sense would suggest that if one
wishes to become heshy and plump the
thing most needed would be nesh-fOrm1ug
foods; in other words. albuminOuS food,
like eggs. beef, oatmeal. etc. The kinds
of food that make flesh are the foods
that form the greater part of our daily
bill of fare.
Now the only reason so many people
remain thin is because their stOmachs do
not properly ana completely dlgeSt ana
assimilate the hesh-fOrming beefsteak
and eggs we get every day
There are thousands of such people. and
they are really dySpeptic. although they
may not suffer any particular pain or in
convenience from their StOmachs. If such

and the proper degree of plumpness very
soon secured because these tablets are
prepared exactly for that purpose. They
will digest every variety of desh-fOrm-
ing food which is the sole reason why
they so quickly build up and strengthen
thin, dySpep1c men and women
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets cure dyS-
pepsia and every form of indigestion on
TINS common sense plan, that they digest
the food promptly, giving strength TO
every nerve and organ OF the body. while
at the same time the stomach has a

THE CAMPAIGN OF 1900.

The campaign of 1900 is al
ready in operation. The money
power and it's allies have start.
ed their machinery, and its
work is assiduous as it is insid-
ious. They realize that if
vote could be taken to-day
without the preliminaries of a
campaign that the party of gold
contraction, bank paper, mo-
nopolies, trusts and imperial
ism would be showed under by
a majority so large as to be
without precedent in onr histo-
ry. They are thoroughly alive TO
the dangers ahead and are TAX
ing time by the forelock and
putting in their work on the
lines that are most effective
and in such cunning way that
they expect to practically &C
complish, before the ordinary
time for opening campaign,
that which it would be impossi-
BILE to accomplish if the work
be deferred until next year.
They realize that no power is
great enough to prevent the,
American people from crossing
any line that definitely and dis
tinctively divides the interests
of the mass of American people
from that of the money kings
and monopolies; that with such
a line established and recog-
nized their millions will not
avail to defeat the cause of the
people and elect the RepublI.
can candidates.
They remember that in 1896
they underestimate the pa
triotism of the Democratic
masses, and were treated to
surprise in the Chicago conven-
tion when the people in their
might and majesty drove their
hireliugs and bootlicks from
the control of the party. They
remember Mr.. Whitney's fruit
less mission to Chicago; that
neither himself nor his argu-
ments made any impression
whatever upon that assemblage..
They we'll understand the mag.
nltude of the work before them,
and with perfected plans they
have already entered upon the
battle. Their purpose is to
control the Democratic national
convention, and if una BILE to re-
store to prominence the old
leaders who have served them
so faithfully in the past, to Sc
cure new servants, who will
pose as apostles of Jefferson
while they serve Mammon and
betray the people.
They are secure in possession
of the machinery of the Re-
publican party, Therefore to
corrupt the Democratic party
means the continuation of their
rule. But If the Democratic
party maintains its integrity
they realize that it will require
an expenditure-of not less tthan
fifteen millions Of dollars to de-
feat the people. If it can be done
at all, which is extremely
doubtful.
Democratic voters are warn.
ed that it will be necessary to
mark every Democrat who talks
about RELOCATING silver to the
rear, Brand him to stay at
home. See to it that none of
them are sent as delegates to
any convention during the COM
ing year. In this way, and

democratic paper urging, that
by making the fight against the
trusts and imperialism and rel.
egating silver to the rear har.
mony can be secured in the
party and the deserters of 1896
attracted back into the fold, see
to it that the editors and pro.
prietors of such papers do not
prepare set of delegates to
be sent to your next county or
state conventions.
The warnings herein given
are necessary warnings to avoid
blunder that if made will be
sure to result disdstrously for
the cause of the people and
compass a disruption of the
allied forces that opposed the
money power in 1896. Let the
forces that supported Bryan in
1896 stand together again in
1900 and they will be invulner.
able to any opposition.
But there Is an insidious force
that must be reckoned with
every day from now until the
closing of the polls in 1900,
which is the subsidized press.
Remember that every man who
owns an influential newspaper
will be forced to overcome the
tempter in order, to remain true
to the people. An enormous
fund is provided to control the
press of the country as the
means of controlling the
election. Do no despise the
power of the opposition press
to make inroads upon the vote
that naturally would be on the
side of the people if uninhuenc.
ed. The power of suggestion
and plausible sophistry is very
great and cannot be easily over
estimated.
There is one way, and one
only, that the power of the
press of the enemy can be over
come. and that is by furnishing
to the people or inducing the
people to furnish themselves
with papers that are OH the side
of the people. 1t is the duty of
every loval Democrat to see to
it that every other Democrat,
Populist, and Silver Republi-
can. and all others who are in.
telligent and liberal minded,
are afforded an opportunity to
subscribe to one or more of the
reliable papers that are fight.
ing on the side of the people, in
order that they may be kept

tiers and be able to intelligently
discuss public questions with
their Republican neighbors and
friends.
Our battle must be won
through the power of moral
force and intelligence against
the brutal use of wealth as the
means to intimidate and bribe
voters. Commence the compaign
at once. Our cause is just and
God is on our side, but He will
no more do our work for us than
he will feed us if we neglect to
feed ourselves. Let each man
accept the full responsibility
resting upon him as a citizen of
our republic and all will be

Answered His Own Letter,


A certain young railroad man who has charge
Of department in the auditing branch of his
company's business, had occasion recently To
dictate letter TO the head Of q corresponding de-
pArtment OF another road. There was a point in
dispute between the two railroads involving money
and this young official had taken a stubborn
ground that the other official was totally at fault
and advanced what seemed to him unanswerable
arguments to prove il short time after he had
forwarded the letter he received proposition from
headquarters OF the other railroad, which he ac-
copied, and within few days he became the head
Of the department with which he had been in dis
pute The first lettor which he found on file ready
TO be answered was his own on the point in oues-
ton. There was only one thing to do. He inn
mediately dictated an answer TO his own letter re-
futng and ropudiating It's argument, and wound
up by heated insinuaton that the writer of II was
an unmitgatod donkey. OF course, the letter
was addressed TO himself and signed by himself

The Rarity Of Hydrophobia.
Prom the FostA's Companion.


1t has been asserted by many friends of AMI
mails, who rightly object to the annual torture
and slaughter OF dogs, and even by some phya.
clans. that there is no such disease as hydropho-
ba, or rabies as 1t is more correctly called Those
who have studied the subject carefully, however.
arc certain that there is disease of dogs which
Is communicable by one suffering from It to other
animals and to man But this disease LIS very
rare and probably not one person in thousand
bitten by dogs Is in any danger of IT, and not ono
dog killed among 800 supposed mad dogs is really
mad.
The word hydrophoba is a misnomer. for A
mad dog has no fear Of water and will run through
q shallow pool without tho slightest hesitation:
the fear Is that OF drinking water or OF swallowing
anything. either fluid or solid, as the attempt is
almost certain to throw the sufferer, man or beast
into spaAmA
The only way Of transmitting ,hydrophobia In
by inoculating; that is, by the introduction Of
the virus into the body through q wound of the
skin or tho mucous membrane The most usual
way for this rare event to occur is, OF COURSE
through the bite OF rabid dog, cat or other ami
NAL But not every bite, even OF genuinely mad
dog Is followed by hydrophobia II the animals

trouser leg or boot, tho saliva, which oontains
the virus, may be wiped away from his tooth.

President Grants Suggestion.
From ne Washington Post

An official who quite generally knows wha,
he Is talking about was dilAting the other after
noon upon the funny hopelessness for all ren.
sonAhle purposes OF many Of the little creeks and
rivers for the improvement OF which Congress-
was asked to appropriate money under the Rlver
and HarboT bill.
When Grant was President said the Official,
"he used to alternately chuckle and illuminate
against the expenditure Of good government coin
for tho improvement Of measly little streams that
he himself knew could never be made At for any
human purpose. There was q VirEinian who
failing to get Congress TO stick in an appropra ton
for the dredging Of little stream down in his soc
ton, finally importuned Grant in the matter.
Let's see, said Grant muhngly, L believe
crossed that stream in 1864, wasn't it?'
The Virginian, who remembered Grants
crossing OF the stream pretty we'll, replied at
frmauvely.
Look here, said Grant after pause, his face
lighting up suddenly why don't you macad annie
it?"
