HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease Of Heart Troubles.


Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans. are certainly. increasing
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry OF Xmerican
business life. 1t Is more often the re-
suit Of weak stomachs. Of poor dises-
ton.
but not one case in a hundred Of heart
trouble is organic. !.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion Is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves. the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastric 4.
In another way, also the heart Is
effected by the form of poor digestion.
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food. There Is L
feeling of oppression 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 irri-
tates and weakens the heart. II
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the diges-
ton and to insure the prompt as
similation Of food.
This can 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 elements in a pleasant rom.
venient form. -
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sistent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at meal time wiz cure any form
of stomach trouble except cancer of
the stomach.
Full sized package Of these tablets
sold by druggists at 80 cents. Little

SMALLPOX EXPERT
Pronounces Augustus Case
One of Mixed Infection.
The Element Of Smallpox is Present
but is not Typical.
Dr.. ". II. Cakes Of Auburn. Makes nis DNssec.
lion and Decision. Tvssday.

There has been some doubt in the
minds of conservative citizens as to the
existence of smallpox. To satisfy a
few it was deemed advisable TO call
some authority from outside the city.
Consequently DIR. w. X. Cakes Of Au-
burn, was sent for and came, Tuesday
morning, going at once to the isolation
hospital and making careful investi-
cation Of the case.
DR.. Cakes experience with smallpox
began in 1873. at the Detention hospi-
tai in New York. Some over 500 cases
Of smallpox occurred in this hospital
and were all under the immediate OBJ
servation Of DR.. Cakes from beginning
to end.
Dr. Cakes statement and opinions
are as follows:
''It.is not a typiedi case of smallpox.
but is case of mixed infection. There
is no doubt but the element of small
pox is present. One particular point Of
diagnosis is the eruption of the thighs
and especially at the part we speak Of
as the crural triangle. The child has
this to a marked degree.
No sane man." says DIR. Cakes. who
has any knowledge Of contagious dis
eases. more especially smallpox, would
for moment do anything but isolate
this case and all who possibly might
have come in contact with it.
The people who were exposed to this
case were at once vaccinated which
will perhaps prevent their having the
disease.
The cOntagion of smallpox varies
with the -virulence of the case under
consideration. Severe cases are more
likely to communicate the disease. The
case we have here is of the mildest
type of smallpox. doubtless made mild
by vaccination which was done on
first sight Of the case

The absentmindness of man in love

ton of it was afforded one evening re-
Gently. A man living down the line of
railroad had duties that called him to
Augusta, and was to leave on the II
O'Clock Pullman for home He would
be through his work at 9. but could
stay with his pupils until the hour. if
need be. but that afternoon he met a
friend, classmate in Bowdoin. This
classmate. "a nice fellow, wished his teach
err friend to come to his Office and pass
the time talking over old college days.
while waiting for the train The teach
er after leaving his pupils at 9. start
ed for the Office Of the friend. but found
it dark and deserted. He took a stroll
up to the North end and back. but the
Office still looked like all the others on
the street. Another stroll to the State
House and return. and the Office was
as utterly deserted as before Then he
went to the station to pass the remain
ing time. A few minutes before the
train started, up rushed the recreant
classmate full of apologies about ;se-
ing called away by pressing business SO
suddenly that he had not the time to
leave word. The truth was that the
pressing business was a little social
gathering of two. and the noble Au-
gusta youth had forgotten his appoint

cities throughout the country have not
been wanting in intelligence and com
prehensive effort to promote municipal
reform
Secretary woodruff refers to the eff
ficfent work of the City club and the
Reform club in New York; of the
Trenton Movement" where an eight
days campaign to arouse the people of
that city to their duties as citizens, was
successfully conducted by the League
of Social Service, of the enviable record
of the Municipal League of Philadel-
phia, and of the results accomplished
by the Baltimore Reform League. En-
cOuraging news of the progress of the
good government movement is pre-
scented from Richmond, Va; Chattanoo-
ga, Tenn; Cleveland, o.; DerOit, Mich;
Milwaukee, Wis; Minneapolis, Mimi;
Portland. Ore; st. Louis, No, and
other cities
Concluding, Secretary woodruff said:
The force making for better govern
ment in some sections, are defeated in
their early campaigns, but they persist
Workers come and go, and are diverted
from their original purpose, but the
movement for good government per
sists. The candidate elected on q re-
fOlm ticket may prove untrue to his
pledges, but the reform movement per-
sists. Some organizations may dis
band, and in others the active members
may drop out; but the movement per-
sists- Critics and cynics and spoIls-
men viii say, What have you done
The answer is, We have persisted
THE National Municipal League and
its affiliated organizations stand for
persistence in this matter of securing
better city government. Men may
come and men may go, but the move
ment for good city government viii so
on and persist. When the American
people are aroused as to the Importance
of any problem, and when they realize
the necessity for its solution, it is only
a question of time when the matter Will
be settled Our history is full of illus
f1af Of IF a
acter, and while at the present time
there are many depressing facts in con-
nectiOn with our municipal government,
and there are many instances which
arouse our Indignation and make cur
blood boil and many other things
which make our hearts sad, yet on the
other side we must not overlook the
fact that the tendency points towards
brighter days; that the indications are
that the dawn of a new era of munich
pal government is not as far distant as
some of US thought five years ago when
we came together in our first confer
ence of good city government

A ROW KICKED UP
By the New York Cotton Exchange
Over Crop Report.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Secretary Will
son of the agricultural department IS
Investigating the complaint OF the New
York exchange that the special cotton
crop report issued on Tuesday was in
the hands of private firms before 1t
reached the exchange. The secretary
himself was absent at the cabinet
meeting, when the report was issued
and and he therefore has no personal
knowledge of the occurrence Super1n-
tendent Hyde of the statistical division
stated today that the regular tele-
graphic summary of the cotton report
was sent as usual on November To- Us
ually the detailed report made up a few
days later Is not telegraphiS but owing
to an important statement contained
this month it was deemed best to have
it sent to the cotton exchanges by
telegraph. In the report of the 10th,
the department placed the total crop
estimate at an outside production OF
$500, 900 bales. In the supplemental re-
port 1t was explained that this estimate
was based upon the fact that the eX-
perience of past years had shown that
the actual crop exceeded the depart
ment'S estimates and added that the re-
ports on actual conditions in the hands
of the department, indicated a crop of
less than 5000, 900 bales.
This supplemental report was sent to
the two telegraph companies for trans
mission to the exchange at II: 55 a. m.
The secretary of the exchange wrote
Mr.. Hyde that it did not reach the eX-
change until 2:45 almost three hours
later One OF the telegraph companies
here reported that the report was Of
fered to New York Immediately upon
its receipt, but it being unusual to re-
ceive a supplemental report, New York
refused to take it at meantime a
correspondent of one of the financial
news agencies in New York heard of
the report and telegraphed its sub
stance to his agency. The other com
pany reported to the department that
the report was transmitted Immediate
". Why it did not reach its destination
on time, as alleged, is not known here.
Mr.. Hinde has written to the secretary
of the exchange. explaining all the facts
so far as the department is concerned.
