THE SUI RAGE QUESTION

The Constitutional Convention was not
called to order until II O. clock yesterday.
The hour was fixed for 10 o'clock, but as
it was evident that there was not a
quorum present President Goode did not
rap the convention to order until an hour
later, hoping that by that time a sufrl-
Gent number would arrive to proceed
with the transaction of business.
Prayer was offered by DR.. Mcllwaine,

The president announced that quorum
not being present the convention stood
adjourned until to-day at 10 o'clock.
Judge Marshall was vociferous in his
opposition to adjournment. He called
for division on the motion to
adjourn for want of a quorum. He

The action Of the heart and stomach are
both controlled by the same great nerves,
the sympathetic and pneumogastrlc. and
when the stomach falls to properly digest
the food and it lies in the stomach fer
menting, gases are formed which distend
the organ causing pressure on the heart
and lungs causing palpitatton, irreguIariry
ana shortness of breat-..
The danger from this conuition Is that
the continued disturbance of the heart
sooner or later may cause real organic
heart trouble and in fact frequently does
so.
Furthermore. poor digestion. makes the
blood thin anG watery and deficient in
red corpuscles, and this further irritates
and weakens the. heart.
The most sensible thing to do for heart
trouble is to insure the digestion and as
similation of the food
This can be done by the regular use
after, meals OF some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation. like Stu
arts Dyspepsia Ia lets which may be
found at most drug stores and which con-
tain the necessary digestive elements in
