ABOUT HEART DISEASE.
NINETY PER CENT OF IT REALLY OAUSEI
FROM POOR DIGESTION.

NINETY PER CENT OF IT REALLY CAUSED
FROM POOR DIGESTION.
Real organic heart trouble is incurable. but
scarcely case in hundred Is organic.
The action of the heart and stomach are both
controlled by the same great nerves. the sympa-
thetic and pneumogastric. and when the stomach
fails properly digest the food and it lies in the
stomach fermentng, gases formed which dis
tend the organ, causing pressure on the heart and
lungs causing palpitation. irregularity and short
ness Of breath.
The danger from this condition is that the con-
tInued disturbance Of the heart later may
cause real organic heart trouble and In fact. fire.
quently does so.
Furthermore, poor digestion makes the blood thin
and watery and deficient I'm red corpuscles, and
this further irritates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible thing TO do for heart trouble
is insure the digestion and assimilation of the
food.
This can he done by the regular after meals
OF some safe, pleasant and effective digestive prep
aration like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which
may be found at most drug stores, and which con-
tain the necessary digestive elements in a pleasant
convenient form.
Thousands Of people keep well and vigorous by
keeping their digestion perfect by observing the
rule Of taking two OF these tablets after
each menl. at least after each hearty meal.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain T.. s. p pep
sin, diastase from malt and other natural d.
gestives, which act only the food digesting II
perfectly and preventing acidity, gases and the
many diseased conditions which accompany a weak
stomach.
When Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are used you
may know you are not taking into the system any
strong medicine powerful drug, but simply the
ma tural digestive elements which every weak stom.
ach lacks.
So widely known and popular have these tablets
become that they sold n the United
States. Canada and Great Britain. no2e. 1s&ao

cas- Good Will.
A dispatch from Berlin last night saws:
The Thanksgiving dinner at the Kaiserhof
was given by the American colony in Ber-
lin. The company included Professor Bis
bee Of Dartmouth College; Professor Nc
MILAN of Princeton, and the following
United States cOnsuls: Charles Barnes
Colonse; DR.. II. Pitcairn, Hamburg; j. c.
Monaghan, Chemnitz, and Frank W. Mahin,
Reichenbcrg, Austria.
The hall WAS decorated with American
and German flags A cabegram was sent
to President Mckinley ongratulating him
upon the prosperity of the country during
the last twelve months Patriotic songs
were sung.
Ambassador White in his speech gave a
number OF reasons why all Americans
should be thankful. He mentioned the I'M
precedented prosperity of the country and
literature and art dwelling particularly
upon the increase of facilities for students.
Mr.. White said statistics showed that dur
ing the last twelve months 500, 900 900 had
been donated for the promotion of instruc-
ton in the United States. He added that
American students should be thoroughly
posted in the general principles of law and
political economy, as they would have in
tereSting problems awaiting them for solu-
ton.
After speaking of the friendly relations
between the United States and Germany
Ambassador White continued:
Americans are indebted to Germany for
an opportunity to profit by the splendid ia
cilities for the study OF science and art in
this country. While Great Britain Is
known and honOred as our mother coun-
try, Germany. from an intellectual point
Of view, Is becoming more and more our
second mother country, and these intellec-
tual influences constitute vast force in
the development Of American civilization
Harn3ck rector of the University Of
Berlin, was then introduced. He reminded
his hearers that blood was thicker than
water and that the infusion of German
blood had helped to shape the destiny of
the United States. After dwelling strong
ly upon the fact that what was good and
new in the French revolution originated
among the founders Of democracy in Amer
lea, he expressed hope that the same
spirit would continue to prevail
A dance followed the banquet. All day
the stars and stripes floated over the

SAYS THE POPE Us VERY ILL.
Rev. Father LAscOnfbe of Montreal
Tells of His Condition.


A special from Montreal says: The Rev.
Father I.arcombe, who returned from Rome
a short time ago, Is in the city, on his way to
his mission field in the Canadian northwest.
When told by reporter that alarming news
had been received from Rome regarding
the. pope's condition Father Lacombe said:
Yes, the end is very near. The holy
fathers health was very poor when 1 saw
him few weeks ago. He received me as
usual and questioned me concerning my
mission, in which he seemed to take great
interest, but l could not help observing
that great change had taken place since
last saw him.
He appeared thin and emaciated, and
his voice had hollow ring. He was very
feeble, so feeble, in fact, that he could
not move about without assistance. The
audience continued for upward OF quar-
ter Of an hour, and at its conclusion the
holy father blessed me and those whom !
might bless on my return. AS he left the
audience chamber 1 felt that I had seen
the pope for the last time"

A Boom for Cotton Seed OIL.

A movement is on foot in New Orleans to
build a factory with an output OF $1,000
gallons daily of cOttonseed oil. The aim
IS to produce an oil which can be used in
place of linseed Oil. Hitherto the trouble
has been that cottonseed oil would not dry
quickly enough and was too intermiXed
with gum; but recent experiments seem to
prove that these defects can be removed.
If they can, and the cheaper oil can be
used ii Will add millions to the cotton crop
