MANY SACRIFICES TO
HELP RUMMAGE SALE,

Among the first articles brought to
the Union Mission rummage sale
which begins next Tuesday afternoon
at the rink and continues through the
week was pair of infants shoes. The
owner of these frightened the home
of its parents with it's smiles and
baby wiles for brief span and then
fell asleep. Those with its baby
clothes have been the sacred treas
ures Of its mother, the daily reminder
of the loved and not lost but gone be-
fore. Regretfully the mother parts
with these baby shoes, but gladly
gives them in the hope that some less
favored little tot may get them and
take the place pro tanto of her little
one. The baby clothes she still
clings to, the memories clustering
around them being too sacred and the
bereavement too recent to admit Of
her so soon parting from them. This
incident is mentioned to show the
spirit of sacrifice which some of the
friends of the mission are exhibiting.
May we not hope that those who are
the recipients of this noble charity
wilt appreciate in some measure the
labor and sacrifices made in their be-
half. Numerous instances have come
under the notice of the committee
where friends have given articles
which were useful and in use by
themselves in the love for the cause
and in the hope snd belief that they
would. fall into the hands of those
deserving of them and persons who
were more in need of such articles
than the donors. Surely with them
it is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive.
The heads of the various depart
ments will be announced tomorrow.
The committee calls for volunteer
helpers who can give all or part of
neat week to the work of selling.
Forty salesladies are needed to con-
duct the sale properly and 1t is hoped
that many will at once notify the
chairman. telephone 1859, that they
can serve. The work of arranging
and sorting the articles is now going
on and help can be used to advantage 4,
Monday morning.
The solicitors appointed to canvass
for rummage for the Union Mission
rummage sale are requested to make
report to the chairman at once, as the
collectors are out gathering rummage.
and would like to make their collec-
tions in an orderly manner and avoid
going over the territory twice.
The management at the suggestion
and request of many patrons OF the
Union Mission has decided to serve
coffee and sandwiches and perhaps
light lunch, ice cream and cake at
the sale. 4

Farther arrangements have bseI
made for the high school-alumni foot
ball game to be played at the Twelfth
street park tomorrow afternoon. II
has been decided that the entire pro,
ceeds shall go to the high school ath,
letic fund, which. as Principal Darby
gives assurance, will be able to with
stand a considerable increase without
taxing the ability of the treasurer to
look after it. Mem bers of the alumni
society need not hesitate 10 pay their
admission under the fear that next
summers graduating class will get
away with the apparatus and what
ever of the fund there is left, for it is
differently arranged now.
The game will be called at $3.50 p. m.
There will be a big fight beforehand
between the two sides over the length
OF the halves, which those who are
early on the ground will be welcome
to witness. Owing t. the lack of
practice on the part of the older play
ers they will insist on short halves,
while the high school boys, who have
been working every day for two
months, will demand that they be
made as long as possible. knowing
that the longer they are the greater
will be their advantage.
The high school colors are red and
old gold and the alumni team colors
will be white and purple. A
corps of medical men composed of DR..
G. G. Craig Jr. and DIR. G. f Sears,
the latter having come here from
Chicago especially, for the purpose
will look after Injured alumni play

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 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-
gestiJn.
Real organic disease is incura6le,
but not one case in hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trou ole 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
aft, cted by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and f rmentation
from half digested food There is
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest oy pressu re of the d stended
stomach on the heart and lungs,
Interfering with their action, hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood. making it thin and 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 dons 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 contain valuab g. harmless
digestive elements in pleasant con-
venient 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 cancer
of the stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets
sold by druggists at so cents. Little
book on stomach troubles mailed free.
