Do Not Be Alarmed, Bat Look Fo
The Cause

The Cause
Heart troubles, at least among
the Americans, are certainly in
creasing 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 disease is incur
able; but not one case In a hun
dred of heart trouble is organic
The close relation between
heart trouble and poor digestion
is because both organs are con-
trolled by the same great nerves,
the Sympathetic and Pneumo-
gastric
In another way, also the heart
is affected by the form of poor
digestion, which causes gas and
fermentation from half digested
food. There is a feeling of OPP
preston and heaviness 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 poisons the
blood, making 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 be done by the regular
use after meals of some safe,
pleasant and effective digestive
preparation, like Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, which may be
found at most drug stores and
which contain valuable, harmless
digestive elemementS in a pleas
ant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regu-
lar persistent use of Stuart's Dys-
pepsla Tablets at meal time VIII
cure any form OF stomach trohble
except cancer of the stomach

lets sold by druggists at so cents

VIII om to Invite

The old minister closed the
book and looked around the viii
Iage church.
"You are told,'' he said, "when
feast, te call to it,
you make but the
not your rich neighbors, ind.
poor, the MANNED, and the D.
Now none of you are going to set |
out fine dinner or supper this
week. Some of US never in our
lives gave a great entertainment.
Yet the order is to US. want
each one of you when you go
home to consider what God has
given to you besides food with
which to make a feast, and who
are the poor folk whom you
should bid to it,"
People glanced, smiling, at each
other, for the good man was full
Of queer suggestions. But the
idea remained IN the minds of
some Of his hearers, making their
Sunday afternoon uncomfortable.
It bothered Phil Dorrance, as
he sat alone in his room. He
usually sat alone, except when at
his meals. Phil was the black
smiths son, whom his father, by
dint of years of hard work and
saving, had sent to college. He
was grateful to his father, but he
felt his education had made a
great gulf between him and the
old man. His companions were
his classmates. He had meant
to spend this afternoon with some
of them, discussing a paper he
had written on the history of his
native state. Instead, he took it
downstairs to the kitchen, where
his father and mother sat nod
ding over the fire. How bare and
empty their lives were-work and
sleep.
81 want to read you something
l have wrltten," he said, cheer
fully.
They drew up their chairs, their
eyes sparkling with pride and de-
light, and listened with keen,
shrewd intelligence that surprised
him. They were able, too, to
correct some mistakes that he
had made and to give him some
facts new to him.
81 haven't had as pleasant a
day for years, Phil" said the old
man, when the paper was finish
ed. His old mother said nothing,
but kissed him, her eyes full Of
tears.
In another farmhouse Grace
Peel sat, also thinking of the old
doctors suggestion. She was a
musician from the city, who cared
only for classical music. At home,
her playing gave keen pleasure to
! friends whose musical taste had
been cultivated.
S'They are my rich neighbors,"
she thought. Rising, she went
down to the parlor and opened
the old piano.
F'Suppose," she said, eve sing
some hymns-all of u.s.
The farmer called in the boys
excitedly. eve haven't had the
piano opened since Nancy went
away" he said. ''Come, grand
ma, III move up your chair. You
must join H."
They sang, "Jesus, Lover of
My Soul" and ''Nearer, My God,
to Thee" Sarah, the black cook,
came to the door and threw in
wild note of triumph now and
then. The discord sometimes
made Grace SILVER, but she play

HEAVY SALES OF COTTON.
VaIdOstn to Solve Sewerage Question
by Issuing Bonds.

Va.dosta, Ga, April &-The cotton ware
houses at this place are clear of cotton
for the first time in probably ten years A
sale of 400 bales of sea island cotton to
Dutton & Co. by l.. & B. f. Strickland
was consummated early in the week-the
day Mr. Louis Strickland died, and just
before his death-and most of the week
has been consumed in shipping this cot-
ton from here The sale makes about 2, ser
bales that have passed from the Messrs.
Strickland to Dutton & Co. during the
present season.
MIR. w. G. Robertson of Dutton & Co.
was in the city during the week and the
Morning News correspondent had a short
talk with him on the cotton outlook for
the coming season. Mr. Robertson states
that the freeze did so much damage 90
oranges and vegetables iu Florida that
the farmers there are going 90 pant sea
island cotton more largely than in a long
time. He says the demand for new seed
has been very great and that the outlook
is for an improved grade of cotton during
the present or coming season. He says
that the melon crop will also be large IN
Florida.
The sewerage question is to come be-
fore the voters of this city on May 20
The City Council decided yesterday to call
an election on the question of issuing $S5.
600 in bonds with which to put in a sys-
TEN of sanitary sewers. The validity of
the issue will have to be tested in the
courts before the issue is made, and it is
expected that the case viii be heard by
Judge Hansell in chambers some time be-
tween now and election day. The city
fathers have made number of estimates
as to the cost of a system of sewers, and
offers to do che work for $50 900 have been
received. 1t is the object of the Mayor
and aldermen to have the work done as
speedily as it can be, and il is generally
conceded that the voters will authorize
the issue with scarcely no opposition.
