HEART DISEASE.
FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look for the
Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the ex-
element and worry of American bust
ness life, 1T is more often the result OF
weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable;
but not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor Digestion is because
J both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves. the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by the form Of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food. There is a
feeling 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,
making 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 a be done by the regular use
after meals Of some safe, pleasant and

COAL AT WOLSTON.

Coal has been found at WOlton in
great quantities and enough is being
taken from the mine to supply the peo-
pie of Wolton and vicinity. 1t is said
that this coal is of an excellent quality,
and although the mine is only COM
menced to develop, the farther in the
miners reach the better the quality
seems to appear.-Casper Tribune.

A REFERENCE LIBRARY.
To Be Installed by the New Librar-
ian of Congress.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Herbert Put
nam. the librarian of congress, hopes to
be able at an early day to install in the
capitol a referee library made up of Sc
lected volumes now in the library build
ing. This was contemplated in the last
appropriation bill There is no refer
ence library at the capitol and books can
be obtained from the congressional IL
brary only after delay of from 20 to
30 minutes
The authorities of the library have
cuned duplicates from the main cOIlec-
tiOn and made purchases to the extent
of nearly $1,000 from the general ap-
preparation for books. These amount
to over 1000 volumes. comprising en-
cyclOpedias, dictionaries, ALIASES, ga
zetter, manuals and standard reference
books, particularly in history and sta
tistics; the best collected editions of
the writings of the fathers of the re-
public and many other matters of gov
ernment, political and economic sci
ence. With the above are certain books
upon topics likely to be under discus
sion during she present session, such as
finance, subsidies. inter-Oceanic canals
and colonial administration The latter
constitute a special deposit which may
be changed from time to time, as Ocea-
sion may require.

help and advice for You.
It is a concentrated food and the .sys-
TEN requires and can handle only a
small amount at time.
II too much is taken nature revolts
against the Overloading. Be moderate
and enjoy the food day by day. It is
too valuable to your system and to
your sturdy health to give over It is
a common fault for people to overeat
candy or any other delicacy at some
time in life and from an excess be
driven to abstinence But with
Grape-Nuts it viii richly repay YOU to

not more than 8 heaping teaspoons for

TO TRY THE DEMOCRATS.
New York Hasn't Given Up Having
Convention.

New York Dec. 16-Defeat in the
campaign to bring the Republican ma
tfonal convention New York city has
inspired the leaders or the convention
movement with the determination to
work all the harder for the Democratic
convention. The feeling among them
last night was general that the chance
of victory in getting the latter gather
ing for this city was much greater than
it had been for the Republican con-
VentiOn, because there will be more
time for preparation and because the
reasons which were used against New
York with the Republican national
committee do not apply to the Demo
cratic situation.
Lewis Noxon voiced the general state
of minds when he said last night that
he felt very sure of victory.
Nearly all the money subscribed to
the convention funds" said Mr. Nixon,
was given with the understanding
that it should be applied to defraying
the expenses of either convention. At
least twO-thirds of it is available for
the Democratic gathering and we shall
go to work at once to increase it.
Z understand on the best authority
that the Democratic leaders have made
no pledges and have every reason to
believe that we can get the Democratic
convention here" &"

like a glove, leaving the flesh underneath
as pink as that of a baby: For several
days after he sheds his skin Buskirk is
unable to work on account of his hands

ficulty has been overcome he appears to
be all right. Doctors who examined Bus
kirk said they had never seen anything
