Throughout the storm the wind

The storm, though quite general,

not nearly so great as had been antic-

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-03-09

Do not feed musty hay to dairy cows,
nor in fact any kind of fodder that is
musty, says an exchange. Some be-
lieve that this mustiness will not pass
through into the milk, and it may be
so, but we are suspicious of the truth
of the assertion. 1t is a fact that there
is difference in the flavor of butter
made on June grass and the butter
made in the winter when the COWS are
fed on dry hay. If this difference in
feed makes any difference in flavor,
why lit not make Il good deal Of
difference If the feed be particularly
bad? Moldy feed is a bad thing to
have around in any case and should
be thrown out. Using it as cow bed
ding is likely to make the matter
worse. for the whole stable will be
scented with it, and in the morning
when the milk is drawn it will certain
ly be tainted, and this faint will grow
as the cream ripens. 1t is not advisa-
BILE to use this for bedding and depend
on airing the barn enough in the morn
ing to get the smell out. This would
be seldom done at all, and where done
it would generally be done in q very
imperfect manner. The presence of
sp3ilcd feed is very often the cause Of
poor butter

in behalf of viii Stowe. the fireman
who was injured while on duty at the

the city pay the wages due for such
service. charging the same to the ex-
pense of the fire department,

ate erection. Mr.. Patterson presented
a bid from c. A. Badger for the build
ing of cable foot bridge at that point
for $50, and the old highway bridge
that washed away. Mr.. Mckay moved
that a vote be taken on the main ques-
ton as to whether bridge be built or
not. 1t was voted. on a motion by
Mr.. Mckay, to refer the matter before
the board to the street committee to
erect bridge as soon as possible and
at the least possible expense to the
city.

the names of the committees be

and suggested that the new council

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID IN.
CREASE OF HEART TROUBLE

Heart trouble, at least among the Americans is
certainly increasing and while this may be largely
due to the excitement and worry of American bus
iness life, 1t 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 close relation between heart trouble and
poor digestion is because both organs controlled
by the same great nerves. the Sympathetic and the
Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is affected by the
form Of poor digestion, which causes gas and fer
mentation from half-digested food. There Is a
feeling Of oppression and heaviness in the chest,
caused by pressure Of the distended stomach the
heart and lungs, interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood. making 1t
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 after meals
Of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive prep
aration, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which
may be found a drug stores, and which contain
valuable harmless digestive elements in pleas
ant convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular, persistent use
Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will
cure any form Of stomach trouble except cancer Of
the stomach. ap2&5
