Heart Disease.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid
Increase of Heart Troubles.
DO NOT RE ALARMED, BUT LOOK FOR THE
CArSE

DO NOT RE ALARMED. But LOOK FOR THE
CAUSE.
Heart troubles, at least among the Americans
are certainly increasing, and while this may lie
largely due to the excitement and worry Of Amer
lean business life. it is more often the result OF
weak stomachs, of poor digestion
Real organic disease is incurable: but not one
case in hundred Of heart trouble is organic
The clese relation between heart trouble and poor
digestion is because both organs controlled by
the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneu-
mogastric.
In another way, also, the heart is affected by the
form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fer
mentsticn from half-digested food. There is
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 palptation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood making 1t
thin and watery, which irritates and weakens the
heart.
to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt
assimilation of food.
This be done by the regular after meals
of some safe. pleasant and effective digestive prep
araton, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which
may be found at most drug stores and which con-
tain valuable. harmless digestive elements In a
pleasant, convenient form.

of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time Will
cure any form of stomach trouble, except cancer

A Letter From Mr.. Carnegie.
Upon the conclusion of Mr.. Perry's in

Washington slowly and painfully had de-
veloped much-needed public library, and
through the liberality and public spirit Of
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie an opportunity was
now presented of securing a worthw home
for the library years before it had been
thought possible. He then read the fol-

who reported a code which shared the fate
of the others. Another attempt was made
in 1S11, and the code which was prepared
by the commission appointed by the legis-
iatiVe assembly of the District was reported
TO Congress and laid the table In the
year 1873 the District Commissioners caused
code to be prepared which was ignored
by Congress. Altogether the speaker said.
there have been five separate codes pre-
pared
He referred to the compilation of
laws prepared by Mr.. W. Stone Albert.
which contained the English laws from the
earliest date. the old laws of Maryland and
the laws of the extinct legislature of the
District. He said that even this compilation
had not been Endorsed by Congress, and
there is not now, he added, collection of
laws which has the sanction of Congress-
except the Revised Statutes relating to the
District prepared in 1874
The speaker then recounted his connec-
ton with the present code stating that he
had undertaken the work at the request of
the board of trade and the Bar Associa-
tion. He spoke of the aim of the code to
enbOdy in condensed form the essence of
all statutes in force in the District not de-
sirable to discard and the introduction of
features of the laws in the states which
could be applied here. This constituted the
first part of the code; the second referred
TO municipal matters.
The speaker said that he had not expect
ed to produce perfect instrument but
what he had prepared was more In the ma

the experience of others, He spoke of the
time which had been devoted by a large
committee of the Bar Association to an
examination of the code. anu said that this
committee had completed its work and the
first part of the code had been submitted
to Congress in the form of bill.
The second part of the code, he said, did
not interest the legal profession, but was
of Importance to the District Commission
ers and those officials had it under consid-
Grafton Owing to the lack of time it was
proposed not to submit this part at the
present session of Congress. but he said he
thought the matter of immediate subrnis-
sion to Congress was not of great conse-
quence. as he understood that no action
was possible at this session on either sec

The great local event of the year, the
annual reception which the board of trade
gives to Congress and to itself, took place
last night at the Arlington. 1t was per-
haps the most successful of these functions
From 8 o'clock, the hour when the men,
bers of the board began to assemble
until the company separat ted, at IL o'clock,
there was not one dull moment. There was
large observation-disclosures than al any pre-
vious reception-composed mainly of men,
bers of Congress and prominent citizens of
the District.
The committee of arrangements and re-
ceptiOn did effective work in making hosts
and guests generally acquainted and in pro-
noting the social feature of the evening
Then the speeches were brief and to the
point, entertaining and instructive. Alto

The Reception.
AS the members and guests entered the
parIors they were received by the reception
committee and either a red or white carna-

coats, the former Indicating members of
the board and the latter guests. Then they
were welcomed by the president of the
board, Mr. Theodore W. Noyes and passed
along the line composed of the reception

filled with congenial groups. and those who

The hum of conversation was interrupted
by applause, which marked the progress
of President Noyes through the narrow
aisle of chairs to central point in the
parlors, where a small platform had been
placed. His. appearance marked the be-

was regarded as the most delightful fea

were called on to speak on the topics that

The Coming Centennial.

Referring to the approach of the one
hundredth anniversary of establishing the
permanent seat of government in this city
in the year 1900, Mr. Noyes said that Wash
ington proposes, and the President of the
United States in his annual message to
Congress has heartily Endorsed the PROPOSE
tion-that the nation and the capital city
cooperate to celebrate worthily this CEN

fury in the nation and in the capital city
as marvellous, and drew vivid word pic
ture comparing the condition of the coun-
try in 1900 and in 1900 He said that the
growth of the capital had kept pace with
that of the nation. The Washington of
1880, described by Disguised statesman as
"a mudhole almost equal to the great Ser

with The Washington of 1900 which had

in its distinctive permanent home on the

the Union, divided their time between the
homestead and residences, state capitals, of
their own. There was another daughter,

Judge COX's Remarks,

Reverting TO the subject of the proposed
code for the District, Mr.. Noyes said that
no one could speak more effectively on that
subject than its father, Judge Cox, who had
given three years of unselfsh labor to this
work. The appearance of Judge Cox on the
platform in response to these words of in

approval on the part Of the audience. He
devoted himself to an explanation of the
past history of the code question, and in the
presentation of the bare facts he created a
deep and powerful impression. He spoke of
the variety of laws which constituted those
which were in force in the District at the
code for the District had been one of
great interest to the people from an early
date. He then reviewed the history of the
various efforts, made to procure code be-
ginning with the first code prepared by
Justice Cranch In 1916, but which was not
acted upon, said the speaker. by Congress.
Then, he stated, nothing was done until

President Noyex' Address.

President Noyes prefaced this part of the
program with an address which summarize
ed the present phase of the local questions
referred to. At the outset he called atten-
ton to the fact that the audience before
him constituted a joint meeting of mem
bers of Congress, the only legislature this
city has, and members of the board of
trade, representing the people of the Dis
trict. In the first place, Congress was TO
be asked to accept largely on faith the code
of laws prepared by Justice Cox.
He said that the capitals statutory cloth

a Josephs coat of many colors, and in dam
aged condition and antique cut 1t suggests

ening. On the basic material of the COM
mon law-now in places moth-eaten, torn
worn threadbare. hanging in tatters-had
been fastened patches of old British and
Maryland statutes and later patches of oc-
casional acts of Congress. There had
been some scientific patching of COM
paratively recent date. but the greater
part of the patches since the suit was
first fitted had been sewn in at random ex-

Judge Cox. and approved as to it's general
pattern by the whole community, and not
