HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid
Increase Of Heart Trouble.

some FactS Regarding the Rapid
Increase Of Heart Trouble.
Heart troubles. at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing. and
while this may De largely due TO the eN-
element and worry Of American business
life. II is more often the result Of weak
stOmaChS. Of poor digestion.
Real organic disease IS luCUrable but
not one case in a hundred OF heart trouble
Is organic
The close relation between heart from
bic and poor digestion Is because both or
gans are controlled by the same great
nerves. the sympathetic and PueumO-
gastric
In another way. also. the heart is af-
fected by the form OF poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation from
half diEestCd food There is feeling OF
oppression and heaviness IN the chest
caused by pressure OF the diSteuded Stoun-
with their action. hence arises paIpitation
and short breath
Poor digestion also pCisOns the blood
making il thin and WatrTy, which irri-
tatCs 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 use
after meals Of some safe. pleasant. and
effective digestive preparation like
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be
found ut most drug stores. and which
contain valuable. harmless digestive eIe-
ments in a pleasant, convenient form
II is safe 10 say that the regular persist
ent use Of Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time Will cure any form Of stomach
trouble except cancer Of the stomach.
Full sized package Of these tablets sold
by druggists at ~ cents. Little book on
stomach troubles mailed free Address +.

INFRINGEMENT IN BALTIMORE
The Ten Per Cent Abatement Goes
INTO Emeci ut Once

BALTIMORE. Oct. 16.-City Comptroller
Smith stated yesterday that the 10 per
cent pro rata abatement on the appropri-
ati0ns Of all city departments for The
balance Of the year would go into effect
Immediately
1T will not affect the salaries" ne said
but the heads Of the departments will
simply have 10 reduce their expenses 10
per cent until January l.
Mayor Hayes said THAI the reduction
was absolutely necessary. and although il
would mean the most rigid economy ln all
the departments. he did not think IL would
seriously cripple any Of them.
The charter" said the mayor. "abSO-
lutely fOrbids the borrowing OF money to
meet such a deficiency. and there IS no
other way Of meeting the situation except
by a reduction Of this sort
HarbOr Engineer Hutton stated yester-
day that the 10 per cent cut would put an
end TO all dedgiug ODt TatiOns IN the har-
bDr for the balance OF the year, as the
harbor board would barely have sufficient
money 20 meet its expenses. Similar
statements were made by other heads Of
