LOVES LABOR LOST,

Tuesday evening of last week
there YVES a lively little row IN the
store of j. George PRESS & Sons,
on Main street, in Grafton, between
DR.. e. l.. Love, ex-Mayor of Graf
ton and business manager of the
Sentinel, and Phil O. PRESS. There
had been bad blood between the
two for years over domestic rela-
tlons, and they have been laying
Tor each other, and finally came
together in pitched battle, in
which PRESS was getting away with
Love, as he did with his wife.
whereupon the Doctor pulled his
gun and shot at PRESS, but before
any further damage was done, they
were separated and Love held an
der 81, 900 bond to appear before
the Grand Jury and $500 bond to
keep the peace. Some years ago
PRESS cut Love out of his wife. He
courted her more than the law all
lowed, as he had no papers for it.,
and the Doctor secured a divorce
and married another woman and
Press married Mrs. Love, 80 it was
thought that the trouble was all
over and everybody satisfied, but it
seems that the Doctor cart live
up to his name, and there really
seems to be nothing in name
after all.

FIRST PURITAN CHURCH.


1t is not generally known that the
first Puritan church built in the United
States is still standing in the town of
Salem, Mass. This unique historical
relic of the pilgrim fathers and gentle
reminder of the hardships through
which they passed was built during the
months of July aEti August, 629. For
many years it served those early Puri-
tans not only as meeting house, but
also as place Of instruction for their
children. For a period of five years it
was also dignified as their seat of civil
administration. In its original condi-
tipn it was nothing more than primi-
tive log cabin, VITA a crudely built
chimney of rough stones. This chimney
the hand of time has long since swept
away, and it must be confessed that
even the building itself has been some
what changed and restored. Over the
original old frame work it has been

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, Eut Look For the
Cause.

Do Not Be Alarmed, Eut Look For tn
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. it
is more often the result OF weak
Etomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incur
able; but not one case in hundred
Of heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is be-
cause both organs are controlled
by the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart
is effected by the form of poor dl-
gestion, which causes gas and fer
mentation from half digested food.
There is feeling of oppression
and heaviness in the chest caused
by pressure of the distended stom-
ach on the heart and lungs, inter-
fering 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 Dyspep-
STA Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which con-
tain valuable, harmless digestive
elements in a pleasant, convenient
form.
1t is safe to say that the regular
persistent use of Stuarts Dyspep-
STA Tablets at meal time will cure
any form Of stomach trouble except
cancer of the stomach.

lets sold by druggists at 80 cents.
