Z our Heart
May Be Weak. One
Person in Four Has
q Weak Heart.

One Of the surest signs OF weak
heart is shortness Of breath after exercise.
Your heart is not able to pump the
blood fast enough to your lungs.
Some of the other symptoms OF Heart
Trouble are: Pains in the Side, Back
and Shoulder; Painting or Weak Spells;
Dry Cough Swelling Of Feet and Ankles;
Cold Feet or Hands.
No one can afford to allow a weak
heart to go without medicine, because
weak heart means poor circulation, and
poor circulation means weak lungs,
stomach, liver, kidneys, etc.
If, therefore, you suspect heart trouble,
begin taking DR.. Miles New Heart Cure.
The Heart Cure will do you good, as it Is
a splendid tonic for the blood and nerves,
and will revitalize your entire system.
Finally, remember, DR.. Miles New
Heart Cure is sold under guarantee

Plymouth Debaters Beaten.

The auditorium of the Plymouth
high school was crowded Friday even
ing by a very fine audience who listen
ed to the debate between the Laporte
and Plymouth high schools on the
subject of municipal ownership.
Laporte sent a fine delegation of
ladies and gentlemen who seemed to
have the utmost confidence in the La
porte debaters and the result showed
that their confidence was not mis-
placed.
The representatives of both schools
did exceedingly well, and it was gen.
orally conceded that the Plymouth
boys were the best orators but the La
porte boys made the best argument.
The subject discussed was .Resolv-
ed that municipal ownership and op-
Grafton of street railways is preferable
to operation by private corporations. -
Plymouth had the negative and was
not able TO make it clear that private
corporations could and would do bet
ter for the public than municipalities
would.
The music was excellent and the
people of Plymouth feel proud of the
efforts of the Plymouth team although
the decision was against them.

Every family uses more or less -four
but a large number are not getting the
full value of their money in return in
both quality and quantity OF bread
they make from the flour they use.
Now Piilsbury's Best Flour will
make more bread than a great many
other flours and much better bread
too. You will get from four to seven
more loaves from a sack of Pillsbury's
Best Flour than from a sack of ordin-
AIRY flour. 1t is and has been for years
the standard of all spring wheat
fiours. If you are not using Pills
bury'S Best Flour try a sack and you
will be convinced that these state
mentS are facts. Bread made from
Plllsbury's Best Flour retains its mois-
lure ard does not dry out. A test
will prove it. 1878

Some years ago an investigation Of
election bribery in England disclosed
the following method Of buying votes:
An elector entered the agents room.
Agent (holding up three fingers, to
signify three sovereigns): swell, Mr..
Smith, how are you today?" Mr..
Smith: 81 am not very well to-day"
Agent (holding up five fingers): 81
am sorry you are not very well tc-
day." Mr.. Smith: "Oh, / am not very
ill. 1t is all right" Then Smith
looked out of the window while the
agent put five sovereigns on the table
1t was then the agents turn to look
out of the window. and when he tur-
ned round again Smith and the money
had disappeared. Smith never saw
the agent put down the money; the
agent never saw Smith pick it up.
Consequently when a parliamentary
commission was appointed the agent
swore nd never gave Smith any money
and Smith swore that no one gave him
any.-Kansas City Star.

May Have Good Effect,

The hearing of the Smoot case by a
congressional committee NAV have a
more ~far-reaching effect than the ex-
pulsiou of the Mormon senator from
the legislative body, if 1t is decided TO
expel him.
The admission by the man Smith, a
leader OF the Mormon church. that he
is still living polygamously in viola
tion Of the law of Utah, and the tes-
timony of a woman witness that she
contracted a plural marriage since the
prohlbitory law was enacted, will
doubtless cause congress to take spec
iic action.
The crying need Of society at pres
ent is a uniform divorce law. AS
each state has its own laws, the dis
solution OF the marriage bond has be-
cImes so easy as to make marriage little
more than a garment to be donned or
dotted at pleasure.
To strike at the root Of the evil Of
Mormonism a constitutional amend
ment will probably be necessary. And
il a uniform Federal marriage law is
made possible, a uniform divorce law
can be included.
