Stomach Trouble Causes Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble Is almost always caused by
stomach trouble. The stomach fails to digest
all the iood. and the residue terments, form
ing excess OF gas which distends the walls OF
the stomach, causing pressure on the nerves
and arteries that lead to the heart. This
causes the heart to palpitate or skip beat
occasionally. or both. which Is usually very
alarming, causing grave apprehenslous. Ry-
dales Stomach Tablets will prevent this trou-
BILE. They digest the food and prevent gas
from forming in the stomach. If there is no
gas in your stomach your heart will not trou-
BILE you. c. A. Milford, the Druggist.

Found the Tower Well.

For ages antiquary after antiquary found him
self baTied by a simple problem at the Tower.
How, in the old days, did the garrison get a
supply Of drinking wster2
The .antiquary could show you the original
fireplace at which William the C0nqueror
warmed his hands; could point approximately to
the spot on which the murdered princes fell !;
he could lead YOU 20 the place where Henry
WIS queens were butchered. and 70 the tomb
stones that collapsed upon their poor bones;
he knew the tiny dungeon in which Sir Walter
Raleigh spent twelve dreadful years, hidden from
the light; and could have you in a twinkling in
the stone dog kennel where still remains the
ring to which they chained Guy FawRes.
But how these uufortunatcs and their ianitors
drank, none could tell. The Thames hard By
was not the source, they we're sure. Organized
search was vain.
Then there came a thick headed. nimagi-
native mason. TO whom and his fellows the
work Of converting certain OF the historic dun
geons into storehcuses for war material meant
sizd. an hour and no more.
His pick struck through the flooring Of the
corridor from which the prisoners used 10 enter
their cells. Behind these latter and CORE
spending with the main one ran. and still
remains. the little secret corridor along which
eavesdropping officers tiptoed TO listen TO con-
versations between captives for the purposes Of
evidence.
A few blows from the pick brought to light
the mouth Of a pit. Sixty feet down was water
thirty feet Of It. The mason had happened upon
the historic we'll for which search had been
made in vain for centuries,
Il was as perfect as the day that the Con-
quercr sunk it. To-day it still carries its
thirty feet Of sweet spring water, and should
ever the Tower be belesguered jts garrison

Funston the Champion.
He Has Taken Up the Cause of the
American Soldier.

American Soldier
General Funston has once more
wound up his vocabulary and set It
going this time on the subject of the
pay of the enlisted man in the army.
He says that the pay even of a sol
der re-en4isted Is so small that he can
not possibly save anything, and that
the soldier is worse treated in this re-
spect than day laborer
There is, no doubt, room for Inn
provement in the condition of the en-
listed men in the army, and also in
the condition of day laborers; but
there is no use in exaggerating. The
enlisted man has no need to spend
money for rent, clothing, or food
the three great needs of the laborer
The latter earns usually from $50 to
- day $500 or 5000 a year, in
round numbers. The soldier, after re-
enlistment, has S2l6 clear. which he
can save or not, as he likes. His pay
is sure He does not have to sup
port himself when out Of work, or
bear the expense of transportation
from one part OF the country to an
other in search of work. He does not
have to pay hospital bills when i'll
Most of the occasional expenses which
eat up the surplus Of the laborer are
not borne by the soldier at all Ha
may not save anything, but there
/ seems little doubt that ne could if he
were determined 10 do SO.
How many day laborers are there
who are able TO save even 500 ont
/ OF a years wages2 How many OF
them do? Some do, undoubtedly
there are men IN all walks of life who
save where their fellows are bankrupt.
But the records of the Government
savings banks show that no iuconsid-
cradle sum is saved BY the enlisted
men of the army. though doubtles,
many of them spend their wages a.
fast as they come III. There are some
who have bank accounts at the end OF

candidate 10 succeed himself as the
chief executive Of Massachusetts. has
been called upon TO explain his connee-
ton with state house lobbyist from
whom he accepted checks 20 the amount
OF 5000 while holding the Office OF lici-
tenant governor. The fact that Gov
ernor Bates had accepted two checks
from ". ]. Holden. a well-knowu lobby
ist. was exposed at a recent Democratic
rally at Taunton. and later the checks
were produced and facsimiies have been
printed IN the Boston newspapers. The
Democrats have taken up the matter.
and while they are not directly charging
that Governor Bates accepted bribe.
they are making the insinuation that ne
was Influenced BY the lobbyist who
loaned him money. Governor Bates ex-
PLANTATION is that he had taken out an
insurance policy with Holden and later
had occasion TO borrow 5000 and offered
the policy as security Holden vclun-
teered 10 loan the lieutenant governor

policy as security.
