SfOmach Trouble Causes Heart
Trouble.

Heart trouble is almost always caus
ed by stomach trouble. The stomach
fails to digeSt all the food, and the
residue fernents, forming excess of
gas which distends the walls of the
stomach, causing a pressure IN the
cry M arteries that lead TO the
heart. This causes the heart to pal
pitate or skip a beat occasionally, or
both, which is usually very alarminA
causing grave a~pprehensions. Rydales
Stomach Tablets will prevent this
trouble. They digest the o and pre-
vent gas from forming in the stomach.
If there is no gas in your stomach your
heart will not trouble you.

But the Japah-Russian Troubles
May be Settled A~micabIy.

YOkohoma, October 6.-With the az
for Russia's evacuation of Manchuria,
great tension is observable among the
Japanese populace, but in diplomatic
circles it IS reaffirmed that hopeful
ness prevails Of an amicable settle
ment of the imbroglio between Russia
and Japan on the basis Of minor con-
cessionS by Russia in Corea and Man
churia. though officials dc o profess
to expect that the evacuation of Man.
churia will be effected on the exact
date named.
Baron Won Rosen, the Russian MIL
lister to Japan, has returned here from
a conference with VicerOy AleXier a.

ence with Baron Komura. the Japan
csc foreign minister, on October 3rd.

hopeful interview. but the Japanese

peror, Marquis Ito, president of the
privy council, and Viscount Katsu, the

Popular feeling in Japan is eXasper-
ated at Russia's dilatOry tactics and
the excitement has been aggravated
by the sensational press, which is cor
stantly circulating rumors of fresh
Russian aggression. In spite of pOpu-
lar irritation it is believed that the
Japanese officials will be able to con-

the present peaceful defensive attitude
unless some new and unforeseen event

The Strike in Norfolk.

Norfolk, Va, June 2.-There was
practically no change in the situation
OF the marine engineers trouble today
with the exception of the running again
of the ferry boat Twin City between
Portsmouth and Berkeley, h company
having agreed to the demands OF the
engineers. There are still a number Of
vessels temporarily u of commission.
How long this state of things will con-
tinue calls for speculation. Neither
side has offered to give in.
1t is generally believed along the
water front that it will be several weeks
before business in the harbor resumes
the usual activity. Nothing like the
entire fleet IF the city is tied up. but
only such vessels are running as are
absolutely necessary to prevent. a very
serious congestion Of traffic.
