The girl who spends her summers in

Yes she said crisply, I'm sleepy. I
went out in the country TO spend a quiet

gent request. She said I was getting
all frayed out living In town: that what
needed was a peaceful night Of sound.

home

quiet evening. In fact. it was so awful
~ quiet that il rather got on my nerves.

Mrs. Phipps refused 10 agree, and de-
clared the conference at an end.

Heart trouble, at least among the Americans,
ia certainly increasing, and while this may be
largely due to the excitement and worry OF
American business life, it is more often the re-
suit OF weak stomachs of poor digestion.
Real organic disease Is incurable; but not one
case In hundred Of heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble and
poor digestion is because both organs are con-
trolled by the great nerves, the Sympa thetic
and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also, the heart is affected by
the form Of poor Digestion which causes gas and
fermentation from half -digested food. There is
a feeling of oppression and heaviness In the
chest caused by pressure Of the dlstended stomach
the heart and lungs, interfering with their
action, hence arises palpitatlon and short BREATH
Poor digestion also pois0ns the blood making
II thin and watery, which irritates and Weakens
the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart trouble
is to improve the digestion and to insure the
prompt assimilation Of food.
This can be done by the regular use after meals
of safe, pleasant and effective digestive
preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
which may be found at most drug stores and

4 SILENT COLONY
ON THE EAST SIDE
OF INTEREST KEEPS
DEAF MUTES TOGETHER.
They Are Happy and Optimistic and
Apparently Enjoy Life as Much as
Anybody-Their Children Are Not
Born With Their Parents Infirni-
ties.

Over in northeast Minneapolis, in
that district bounded by Second and
Washington streets and by Summer
street, Seventh avenue and Thirteenth
avenues NE, there lives a little colony
whose members have no complaint to
make of the telephone service and
whose nerves are not Jared by a con-
f1ict of sound.
In the colony are some eight or ten
families, members of the little band of
seventy-f1ve Minneapolitans who sell
dom raise their voices to praise or
protest and who in the matter of lis
tening are Missouri-like in that they
must be shown.
It was to the center of this colony,
the Grady home at 525 Summer street,
that little William Grady, "lost,
strayed or stolen" was returned from
Central police station Thursday and it
is into this colony that many healthy
children are born Of parents who have
neither the power Of speech or the
blessing Of hearing.
In many instances the children hear
and speak with perfect ease and nat
uralness while the parents can do
neither and in almost every case those
| children who have been born of deaf
and dumb parents, become deaf and
| dumb only when some illness like
diphtheria or scarlet fever afflicts
them.
Almost without exception they are
a happy optimistic lot. Nearly all the
| children, and many of the older peo-
pie have either been thru the state
school for the deaf and dumb at Fari-
bault or some similar school and the
common affliction gives the colony 9
community Of interest which makes
their society most congenial to all its
members.
Every other Thursday evening the
members of the colony gather II
