tor of internal revenue, and viii l.. Nose
", a clerk in his office. were indicted by
the Fulton county grand jury to-day on
a charge of libel.

ed by r. r. Wright of Savannah, because
he. Rucker had been instrumental on two
or three occasions, notably in March last,
in preventing Wright from becoming a
delegate to the National Republican Con-
vention.
The ind ctment of the two men is direct
ly Attributable to an article which appear
ed in the Republican Leader, a newspaper
published in this city. In the article it
was claimed that Augusta f. Smith, an
instructress in the state school for ne
groes at Savannah had been divorced by
her husband for being untrue to him

to run the paper, and he and his clerk
Mosely, are charged with being jointly

Rucker says that he owns no stock in
any paper and that Wright is attempting
TO break into the National Convention by
instigating a suit against him in the
courts of this state He says Wright has
been here several days pushing the mat
ter.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease of Heart Trouble.

crease OF
Heart trouble, at least among the Ameri-
cans, is certainly increasing and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life, 1t
is more often the result of weak stomachs
of poor digestion.
Real organic disease Is incurable; bu;
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 the 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 q feeling of OPP
preston 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 irritares
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and 10
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some sefe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
StuaTs Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at drug stores, and which con-
tain valuab e harmless digestive elements
in a pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular, per
sistent use of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of slom-
ach trouble except cancer of the stomach.

Ohio Da.ry Interests.

In the state of Ohio are 800, 900 mich
cows estimated at an average value OF
$31.00 This means an investment OF
$25, 100000 in milch COWS alone, and
if the farms and equipments where
these cows are kept, and the cheese
and butter factories are taken into
consideration, it will be found that at
least $5o0,000,000 is invested in the
dairy business in this state. By the
proper selection Of these cows and by
feeding and handling, the annual re-
turns from these animals can be in
creased by several millions of dollars.
Much unnecessary loss in quality also
occurs in the manufacture of the milk,
into butter, cheese and bottled prod
ucts, which might be saved by more in
telligent methods of operation. A loss
of one-tenth of a per cent of butter fat
in a factory receiving 10000 pounds Of
milk per day means 4.25S pounds OF
butter in a year, and this at the aver
age of 20 cents per pound amounts to
SS5l.60, enough to pay a butter maxi
er's wages.-Ohio State University

Thrush.

One of the most unpleasant common
diseases of the farm horse is known
as thrush of the foot" and consists
in moist, fetid condition which FREE
quently gives rise to more or less
lameness and always to foul odor and
unhealthy state of the frog, which is
liable to become serious If not attend
ed to properly and promptly.
On picking up the foot Of horse
suffering from this disease it will be
found that the frog is soft and rotten
and that there is a discharge Of white,
foul-smelling matter exuding from the
cleft of the frog and at each side of it.
In very bad cases we also find that the
matter frequently forces its way be-
tween the horny and soft frog and ap-
pears at the heel, constituting what
farmers often call grease heel" In
other cases the matter finds its way
under the sole and the horse is then
very lame and cannot bear the pres
sure of shoe.
The cause of the disease is standing
in wet and filth in badly cared for sta
bles, and farmers often make matters
worse by the application of cow-dung
poultices, which should never be ap-
piled to the, foot of any animal.
= Whenever a horse Is found to have
contracted this disease have the shoes
removed and with sharp shoer's
knife remove all rotten and under run

THE YARD MEASURE.
tTo he coSrlNuEp.l

Standards Have Varied in the Different
Ages of ths World.
The yard is. the British and Ameri-
can standard Of length. Down to 1924
the original standard OF Britain land
from which ours was copied was rod,
which had been deposited in the court
OF exchequer, London, in the time Of
Queen Elizabeth. In those days, says
the st. Louis Republic, all measures in
tended for general use were taken to
the court of exchequer to be examined
by the proper officer. That official took
the proposed measure and placed it par
allel with the standard, and il found
correct placed certain marks of identi-i
fication upon it. BY an act Of parlia-
ment in 1924 the old Elizabethan stand
ard was superseded by another, which
had been constructed under the di-
rections OF the Royal society sixty-fou
years previous. This act provided that
"the straight line or distance between
the centers of two points in the gold
studs In the brass rod now in the GUS
tody of the clerk of the house of COM
mons shall be the genuine standard OF
the yard measure in Great Britain,
The act further provided that the meas
urements of the rod must be made
when the temperature Of the brass rod
was at 81 degrees Fahrenheit. That
standard was destroyed by fire in 1884
and the commission appointed To re-
place it made the yard measure now
in use. The new standard was deposit
ed in the house OF parliament in 1855
and authenticated copies of it are In

Dairylng as . Profession.

Ten or fifteen years ago cheese and
butter making was taught "by rule Of
thumb" but the attention of scientists
has been turned to this interesting
field of work, and long list Of men
in our experiment stations have raised
the business to the dignity Of pro-
fession. and guess work has given
place to accurate knowledge. The in
vestigations that have been made, and
the inventions that have been perfect
ed in recent years make a thoroughly
scientific knowledge Of dairying nee
essary to the highest success. and for
this reason the need and demand OF
trained dairymen are constantly in
ereasing.
