Heart trouble. at least among the Ame-i +
cans, is certainly increasing and while this
may be largely due to the excitement and
worry of American business life. It is more
often the result of weak stomachs. of poor
digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but not
organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs are
controlled by the same great nerves, the sym
pathetic and pneumr gastric.
In another way, also the heart Is affected by
the form of poor digestion, viii h causes gas
and fermentation from half digested food.
There is a feeling of opp -ession and heaviness
in the chest caused By pressure of the dis

princess Chic" tomorrow afternoon
and evening. opened at LloNd's this
morning.. and the way in which the
house was sold evidenced the spirit
with which Rock Island appreciates a
first-class attraction. The event
promises to be n notable one at the
Illinois. Sunday afternoon Bleuer's
band is to give a concert in the the
atre. and Sunday evening the pastoral
play "A Homespun Heart" comes.
An Occasion for Surprise.
Considerable surprise was occasion
ed last evening by announcing that
one of the cheap repertoire COM
panies whose frequency so discredit-
ed the old theatre and brought it to
ruin, WAS to appear all next week.
The booking of such an attraction
was promptly denied by the manage
ment and this morning when posters
appeared to the same effect Mr.. John
ston was asked about the matter and
he stated that such a company had
not been booked at the Illinois for
next week, as far as he knew.
While il is to be expected that a
few repertoire companies-a very few
are to be booked each season, in
order that the theatre may meet the
tastes of all classes of people, the
cheap production should be the de-
cided exception rather than the rule.
To allow it to occupy the boards for
week now so closely following the
opening-and New Years week at
that-would be an outrage on Rock
Island, no matter who might be re-
sponsible fer the trick. The main
and most effective argument a1vanc-
ed for the opening last night was
that the people were anxious to en-
ioy the new theatre as soon as pos
sible. and the assurance that only The
best shows would follow.

YATES is SCORED
Speaker Sherman Denounces
Political Methods Before
Teachers.
EXECUTIVE HAS A STAGE SEAT
Politics in Schools Text for a Sensa-
tionaI Address at Spring
field.

Springfield, Dec. 27.-Gov. Yates sat
on the rostrum in the hall of repre-
sentatives last night before the an
unal convention of the State Teach
ers' association and listened TO an
address by Speaker Lawrence Y.
Sherman. mercilessly cutting and
keen in its indirect illusions to him.
The fact that Speaker Sherman men
toned no names had little effect in
obscuring the manifest significance
of his remarks.
| No one doubted the thought in
Speaker Sherman's mind when he re-
ferred to the definition of school of
diplomacy as a place where you
learn the form of language that says
one thing and means another" and
said:
IF you wish your children to learn
how to say one thing and mean an
other. do not send them to a school
of diplomacy, let them enter politics"
The IMAM of promises" looked So
Der at this point. while persons in
the audience laughed and nodded
their heads knowingly at one another.
Little Chance for Doubt.
Il
about Speaker Sherman's intent to-
ward the governor when he said:
''Any officer of the state who uses
any part of the school system as
means for the furtherance of his own
objects and ambitions has committed
crime against the welfare of the
state. Let him answer for it at the
bar of public opinion.
Party strife must cease at the
school house door. The man in Off
cial life who uses any part of the
school system as party plumber is a
public enemy. The infants deprived
| by fate of the special senses, the
feeble-minded. all the homeless I'M
fortunate children of Illinois are now
the wards of the state. Their care is
part of the school system of 100000
people. There is but one standard by
which to measure those to whose
care such children are committed:
merit. fitness for the work they as
sumo to do.
Keep the Partisan Out.
Let the voice of the partisan be
stilled by public opinion. If legisla-
ton is necessary. let it be unenacted
until at least the entire school sys-
TEN of Illinois shall be unvexed by
the spoilsman's hand. Let the parti-
san vultures, keen scented for spells,
be forever driven from the education
al and charitable pay rolls of the
state"
Nor was the application of a story
told by Mr.. Sherman to illustrate the
possibilities of inheritance lost on
his audience. "a mans good name,
he said, may be inherited; his attri-
butes cannot"
The story he told concerned the
baptism of two convicts i'm the Joliet
penitentiary. The guards baptized
an unconverted Mccarthy" mistak-
ing his identity for that of con-
verified man by the same name. Good
sense and wisdom" said Speaker
Sherman, "are not inherited"

requirements of the production. to
say nothing of the occasion. The
second-grade aggregation might be
excused on the ground of stage fright
but for the fact that proper interpre-
tation was so conspicuously lacking
and under such unfortunate circnm-
stances it WIS not to be wondered at
that cheap coarseness was made to
play substitute for clever comedy.
In Justice to Mr.. Johnston it should
be said that the play was not of the
order that he or the general com
mittee desired for the opening. The
booking was made by Chamberlin &
Kindt, and it was on the specific nm
derstanding that il was this partic-
ular show or nothing, and that to re-
Ject it meant the loss of THE Prime
ess Chic." On the other hand 10 ac-
cept it carried the assurance of n SUI

ately follow, and the guarantee of

first-class in every respect.
1t may be considered fortunate that
the people who attended were so en-
raptured with the theatre and so
pleased that it had been secured that
the performance fell into secondary
consideration. and there was abund-
ant source for satisfaction on the
part of all contributors that they had
through their public spirit been in
strumental in providing Rock Island
with n first-class metropolitan play
house.
Some First Night Notes.
The name of w. G. Mauker was in
advertertly omitted from the general
theatre committee published IN the
Argus last evening. Mr.. Maucker
has been one of the most enthusiastic
workers for the project all through
the stages of its progress.
Several parties went to the Rock
Island club after the performance for
luncheon.
Frank Chamberiin, who is assOci-
ated with c. Il. Kindt in the manage
ment of theatres in n number of
Iowa and Illinois cities, was up from
Burlington to take in the opening
performance.
The curtain is a dream. There is
none more artistic anywhere. Mr..
Johnston took particular pains with
it, in Difference to the committees
wishes.

REVENUE RULINGS
Of Importance Affecting Several
Matters Announced by
Department.
RELATING TO WINE AND oLEo
Payment of Tax on Legacies, Stamp
ing Bar Stock Bot

The internal revenue department
has just issued some new rulings con
corning the retailing of wine and
9leomaTgarine which will be of inter
est to dealers in these articles and
the public as well. \ ruling concern
ing the payment of the tax on lega-

that the return showing the amount
IF the legacy and all the facts re-
quired by law shall be filed and the
tax paid in the district of which the

statute, is hello to mean n person re-
sidipg outside the jurisdiction of the
United States.
Under the head of oleomargarinc
the commissioner rules in reply t.. a
letter asking what rights the retailer
has in reference to molding or print
ing small bricks of oleomargarine
from bulk package in order that
the trade can be quickly supplied
with their wants, that n retail dealer
may, in advance of sale. make up
packages in retail quantities, mark
and brand the same, and then place
such packages in or on the original
stamped package for retail. 1t is re-
quired that oleomargarine shall at
all times be in or on the stamped
packages.

Rule Interpreted.

The department has been asked
many questions regarding a ruling is
sued some time ago, which states
where a retail dealer fills bottle
from a barrel for his bar stock. from
which he sells WINE by the glass, he
is not required TO stamp the bottle.
In explanation of this the commits
sioner says the exemption i'm the fore
going paragraph was intended to aP-
ply exclusively tn case where re-
taller usually a barkeeper, uses a
single bottle simply as Il decantcr,
for the purpose of transferring wines
from Il bulk package to n customers
glass, the intent to sell by the glass
being confirmed by the actual and
constant use of the bottle for that
purpose. The said exemption is not
applicable to cases where a quantity
of wine is transferred from bulk
package to bottles, there tn remain
for some time, whether intended for
sale by the glass over the bar or
otherwise. Ia such cases the gener-
nj rule stated in treasury decision
1861 applies, namely that 1.-The stamp

Plain Printing.

1t is not decmcd a compliance with
the regulations if the word "oleomar-
garine" and the other required words
and figures shall be illegibly branded
or printed, or so placed as to be con-
ceIled from view by being ON the
inside of the package, or b." folding
in the stamped portion of the paper
sheet used for writing or otherwise.
The law requires retail dealers in
.leonargarine TO pack the Oleonar-
garine sold by them in suitable wood
en- or paper packages. Packages sim
liar to those usually employed in sell
ing butter or lard ut retail may be
used. If TIE dealer uses paper to
make the packages there must be
printed or branded on the outside
thereof, SO as to be plainly seen by
the purchaser, the words required
by the regulations. When this is
lone it is deemed a sufficient compli-
anCe with the law, the intent and pur-
pose of which is that the purchaser
shall be notified of the nature of the
