HEART DISEASE

Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease of Heart Trouble.
Heart tronble, 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 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 pneu mogastric.
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 a
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.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, making it thin aud watery,
which irritates and weakens the
heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the diges
ton and to insure the prompt assimi-
lation of food.
This can be done by the regular
use after meals of some safe, pleasant
aud effective digestive preparation.
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
| which may be found at most drug
stores, and which contain valuable.
harmless digestive elements in a
pleasant 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 can
Ger of the stomach.

LINE into. THE CITY
Rural Telephone Users to Ask a
Franchise of Rock Island
Council.
A PETITION Is BEING DRAWN
Propose to Maintain an Office in
Town-Situation at
Milan.
PETITION Is BEING DRAWN

1t is reported on apparently good
authority that the rural telephone
lines centering in Milan are planning
to set an independent linz to this
city.
Matters have progressed to de-
gree, according to the report, where
the mayor and namber of the alder
men have been seen and an attorney
retained to present a petition for a
franchise Go the city council at a
meeting in the near future.
The plan is to run metallic circuit
fro,n the independent switch in Milan
to this city, with an Office at Laflin' 8
stable. While there will be no direct
connection with the system in this
city, messages can be repeated at the
end of the line, or those wishing to
talk to the country can go to the
Office. OF course the Central Union
company would charge toll for mes
sages repeated over lines in the city
and the rural lines would charge for
messages repeated the other way.
Fight Is Looked For.
WHAT the council will do with the
petition presented remains to be seen.
At is scarcely reasonable to suppose
that the Central Union company will
take fatherly interest in the effort
to secure an independent franchise in
the city, and the sort of fight put up
will be watched with interest.
While the independent lines are
seeking to get into town, the Central
Union company proposes TO reach out
into the country with more wires.
Metallic circuits will be run east and
west of Milan about four miles each
way and those desiring to become
subscribers, with free exchange at
Milan and scent toll to Rock Island.
will be furnished instruments for $12
a year. This service will undoubtedly
be extended further if there is a dc
maud for it. At the same time, the
offer formerly made TO rent iDstru-
ments to the rural line owners on
their own lines at 50 year with fres
exchange at Milan and scent toll TO
this city, remains open.
Two Switches at Milan
The contest among the rural sub
scribers themselves over the Central
Union company's proposition c1ntir-
ues with little change The two
switches in Milan are both doing bus
mess and there is disposition mani
fest to separate the opposing factions
and put them on different lines.

LIGHT FROM UNKNOWN METAL.
Miners Puzzled to Account for IA
Curious Phenomenon.
From the NorthWest Magazine.

Residents of Boise City, Idaho, are very
much excited over the discovery of q min
eral which has Illuminating power The
discovery was made by George +. Ayres,
a Well-known mining man of Boise, sew
eral weeks ago in one of his claims about
sixty miles from Boise. At the time he
did not think much of the matter, and,
therefore. paid no attention to 1t. The
farther he went into the mine, however,
the brighter the light became, until, after
a few feet had been worked. il was not
necessary for him to use a lamp. 1T was
then that he took some of the mineral to
Boise and had it examined by an assayer.
Terry l.. Williams, of Boise, who is in
terested with Mr.. Ayres, was in Tacoma,
Wash, recently and had a piece of the
mineral with him. He will have an as
say Of 1t made and expects that its true
worth will be determined.
so far we have not been able to find
any person who can tell what kind of
mineral it is he said when exhibiting
it, "and it is for that purpose ! have
of it at the mine where this was taken
out, about sixty miles from Boise City.
MIR. Ayres. owner of the mine, found it
four weeks ago at a depth, of 800 feet
cross-cut tunnel to tap his ledge at this
depth, when he struck this deposit
AT first it attracted his attention by
giving forth dull light. As he worked
farther in the light became brighter and
at the end of three days work he was
able to go ahead without the aid of a
lamp. Then the mineral became a Curl
osty and some of IL was taken to Boise
II was examined but there has been no
one who is able to tell just what il is.
Mr.. Ayres took a piece of 1t to his
cabin and after night tried to make it
show a light, but ii was not so bright as
it had been in the tunnel. This is at
tributed to the atmospheric conditions
and is undoubtedly true, for in the ex-
periments that have been made with it in
Boise we have been able to reproduce the
atmospheric conditions in water that pre-
vail where the mineral is found, and
therefore it is not thought that we will
have any trouble in getting the desired
result.
so far as we have been able to learn
this is the first of the mineral ever found
in the world. All assayers to whom we
have shown ii say they never heard of
It before and they are not able to tell
what il is We will go ahead and try to
put il TO some use, and even at the pres
ent time are reasonably sure of success.
If it does come out as we expect the mine
viii be more valuable than we ever be-
lieved.
There is a large body of the deposit
and the farther we go In the stronger be-
comes the light Another thing that we
are convinced of is that If II can be made
practical it Will be a perpetual light, for
in the throwing off of its rays there does
not appear to be any waste of the mineral
Since the discovery there has been large
number Of visitors to the mine, and in
terest in the outcome is being watched by
all in the vicinity of where the deposit
was uncovered.
