Stomach 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 ferments, forming excess Of
gas which distendS the walls of the
stomach, causing Il pressure on the
nerves and 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 ap~prehensions. Rydales
Stomach Tablets VIII prevent this
trouble. They digest the foo and pre-
vent gas from forming in the stomach.
If there is no gas in wi stomach your
heart will not trouble you.

Editor New Mexican:
Il notice in an editorial in your ex-

to myself regarding a recent interview
with me in an Ell Paso paper. In said
interview, as remember it, and do
not think am mistaken, the statement
that I made was that l understood
that Mr.. Hubbells defense would be
that he had drawn the money for his
services as school superintendent of
Bernalillo County, in advance and that
he afterwards performed the services.
That was in substance my statement
as contained in the interview referred
to. do not know if this is Mr.. Hub
bel, defense or not as never had
any conversation with him on the sub
ject, but as stated in said interview
that was what had been informed
was his defense or would be his de-
fense. If you will kindly make the
correction, will be obliged to you.

Congressman Stephens, of Texas

the rotten international dam scheme

it succeeds Will rob New Mexico of 8
strip Of land on it's eastern border about
three miles wide and extending from

by powerful and piratical Texas cattle

Special to the New Mexican.
Roswell, New Mexico, Nov. 18-You
no doubt have noticed, that Congress
man Stephens, has introduced a bill
concerning the boundary, between
Texas and New Mexico. This under

best information | can obtain goes to
the effect that the Clark survey was
run some two or three miles west OF
the true 1913 meridian, which, as you
know, was the boundary determined
upon in the treaty between the United
States and Texas.

treaty provisions. | am fully per-

Mr.. Stephens in the matter want to
say that should the line be two or
three miles east of the point now
marked as the line, it would add con-
siderable taxable property to Roose-

New Mexico; and in which case, it is
OF no little interest to us all. Particu-

lands which are east of the present

government land in Roosevelt County |
