 Shall Be Tied.

London. Sept. 27.-The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon confirms the rumor pub lished by The Daily News today of diff ferences between Lord Kitchener and the War Secretary. Mir Broderick, and adds that as a result Mir Broderick has had a long interview with the King. The Pail Mall Gazette declares it is in a position to gay that Lord Kitchener Is dfssatis- fled with the partial enforcement of mar tial law in South Africa, wanting it pro- claimed at Capetown and elsewhere.

Brought Down the House.

On one occasion. when Arthur Rob
erts, the English actor. was performing
the part of Captain Crosstree in the
burlesque of BLACK Eyed Susan" at
Glasgow, he converted an awkward
contretemps into a hit. In one of the
scenes Crosstree enters supposed to be
inebriated and staggers about the
stage. In doing so Mr.. Roberts acct
dentally came in contact with the seem
cry of the inn. bringing the whole set
down. The curtain had to be lowered.
and the vivacious comedian came to
the front and said. Ladies' and gentle
men, you see when we come to Glas-
cow we always bring down the house."

Heart trouble, at least among the
Americans, is certainly increasing,
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry of Ameri-
can business life, it is more often the
result of weak stomachs, Of poor di
gestiOn.
Real organic disease is incurahle;
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
affected by the form of poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food. There is n
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 PalPitation aud short
breath.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-06-14

Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, making it thin and waterv,
which irritates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the diges-
tion and to insure the prompt assimi-
laiiOn Of food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals Of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation,
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which
may be found at most drug stores,
and which contains valuable, harm
less digestive elements in a pleasant,
convenient form.
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 can

Treatment for Scab,

True scab is a familiar disease to
sheep raisers in every part of the
world. The most prominent symp-
tom is an itchiness of the skin COM
pelling the sheep to rub, scratch or
bite itself whenever possible. 1t will
scratch and kick itself with it's hind
feet, thus destroying the wool wher-
ever the feet can reach. 1t will also
bite itself, and will become extremely
restless, more particularly at night,
preventing the animal from resting
and make it nervous and irritable.
The treatment of scab is a very
simple matter, if taken in the start
before there is much irritation of the
skin. The parasite does not penetrate
the skin, like those producing mango
in the horse and dog. The parasites
producing scab in sheep live on the
surface, like lice, so most any of the
ordinary dips applied to them will
come in contact with the parasites
and kill them, but may not kill the
eggs, which will hatch out in from
ten days to two weeks, when the ap-
plication must be repeated. If the dis
ease has been allowed to become
chronic, then there will be scabs
formed so that enough parasites will
get under and not come in contact
with the medicine, and they will still
live to perpetuate their kind.
In order to treat scab successfully
the wool should all be clipped off, so as
to expose the skin as much as possible
to the air. Like mango in the horse,
the diseased animal should be separ-
ated from the well and should be we'll
fed, to Duild up the physical strength
as quickly as possible, as it is a we'll
known fact that parasitic life lives
at the expense of physical life. Build
up the physical strength, and the body
offers greater resistance to parasitic
life
After the animals have been dipped
they should not be turned into pas
lures where they were while suffering
from the disease. The parasite is not
long lived, consequently animals kept
out of an infected pasture for couple
of months can then be safely turned
in again.-Dr. William Mclean, State
Veterinarian of Oregon. before the
Northwest Wool Growers Association.

Among the established and familiar

the Central Red Society numbers be-
tween forty and fifty members, with a
permanent home in Great Saffron hill,
under the supervision of Mr. Bird and
regulated by committee of great in
huence. Here most Of the boys sleep,
receive their education in classes un-
der the dominance of the education
department, and spend their evenings
pleasantly and healthily. On admis-
sion they are provided with uniforms

themselves. Roughly, they go on duty
at 7:30 a. m. and return at 6 p. m. The
metropolis Is divided into stations.
One Of the classes consists of regular
stations, at which the shoeblacks are
stationed. The other stations are oc-
cupied by the boys in turn, three days
at each being the maximum stay. Nat
urally there is great emulation in or
der to reach the regular posts, which
are generally the most profitable, espe-
cially in perquisites. 1t is an open
secret that Charing Cross railway sta
tion is the best post in the whole me-
