CROKER SAVES MONEY.
Tammany Leader Said to Have De-
vised Method of Running a Racing
Stable at Small Cost.

London. July 19.-Richard Crokers Amer
lean friends here laughed when they saw
the attack upon him in New Ork
newspaper in the shape of a story on his
extravaganza in England. Mr. Croker
himself regards this latest invention of
the paper as joke.
Mr.. Croker here lives moderately. and
quietly. The story that he pays his Amer
lean trainer 100000 a year is false. This
trainer runs the stables on the guaran-
tee plan. If horses do not win prizes the
trainer pays his own salary, as well as
feed for the horses.
The truth is that no man in England
with a racing table spends so little as
Mr. Croker His racing costs him prac-
ucaly nothing, and gives him healthy
amusement during his summer vacation
here.
The newspaper was so anxious to at
tack Mr.. Croker by creating an impression
of his immense wealth that IL printed a
picture of his quiet little country estate
at Vantage as a private. park, situated in
the heart. of London.
Mr.. Croker owns only seven race horses,
and usually stops with a friend in a small
apartment in London.

IMPORTANT
TO MEN.
Dangerous Symptoms

Many men become sexualy weak early in life.
or at least prior 10 old age. Some becar.se of
dissipation or high living; some because OF
worry bad crops, business reverses or fnan-
cial failures; some because OF marital excesses;
but by far the larger portion of those who are
prematureiy weak, debilitated, or impotent in
their sexual organs, have become so through
early habits of youth.
This weakness quickly cured by the use of The
Old DIR. Hallock Wonderful Electric Pills. Age
no ba::ier. These Pills restore the vigor Of
youth.
LOST MANHOOD may be conveniently divided
into three stages, as follows:
First Stage-The main trouble is involuntary
night drains, which are usually accompanied
system. They rob the blood of its richness,
and often produce pimpes, eruptions dark rings
under the eyes, and like symptoms.
BY using these Electric Pills at this stage the
patient is quickly cured-the drains stop and all
the symptoms disappear.
Second Stage-The victim has drains, often
without dreams He may have premature DIS
charges and shrunken organs. lie shuns his
friends and avoids society. He is often subject
to nervousness. headaches, weak back, dyspep psla
low spirits loss of memory, confusion OF ideas
and 'Nck Of energy, ambition, and self-conhdence
Six boxes of Pills should be used for this stage.
Gradually by their the MAN is developed and
strength once more Is returned.

AND STOP THOSE DEBILTrATING DRAINS, AR

AND THUS MAKE THE STEP ELASTIC AND
BRAIN ACTIVE. THERE is NO OTHER REM
EDY LIKE 1T.
Third Stage-The drains less frequent. The
sexual strength begins TO fail In time all power
is wholly lost. The transmission of life to pos
terity is only an empty dream. The poor victim
has lost his grip on life. Every cherished ambi-
tion is dead The world grows dark to him.

but use our Pills, ard they will restore to you
what you have lost-Y0UR PRECIOUS MAN

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not BE Alarmed, But Look for
Com

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-
citement and worry of American business
life, il 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 both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves,
the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also, the heart is affect
ed by the form of poor digestion, which
causes gas and fermentation from half
digested food. There is a feeling OF op-
preston and heaviness in the chest caused
by pressure of the distended stomach on
the heart and lungs, interfering with their
action; hence arise 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 val
liable, harmless digestive elements in a
pleasant, convenient form.
Ii is safe TO say that the regular persist
ent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal tipe will cure any form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets sold
by druggists at so cents. Little book on
stomach troubles mailed free. Address
