What Makes the Heart Weak.

Two important causes of heart
trouble are underworld and overwork,
but chiefly underworld, says Outing.
Where due to oyerwork it has been
physical, not mental. The hearts of
long-distance runners and bicyclists
sometimes become hypertrophied,
while hearts Of children sometimes
succumb to too arduous play. With
children, however, it is usually due to
a predisposition in that direction from
their parents, whose hearts have been
weakened by prolonged under exercise
rather than to overexercise on their
part.
AS the result of a recent examina-
ton of nearly 10000 school children in
the primary grades by the board of
health, it was found that so per cent
were suffering from physical defects,
among which predominated defective
vision, insufficient nutrition, pulmon-
airy and heart ailments-a startling
condition of our boosted civilization.

Of students in uniforms Is furnishing
a market for military clothing.
According to the British consul al
Wuchow, go of these schools have
been opened in that prefecture alone.
The uniform consists of a coat and
trousers of foreign cut, with brass
buttons and peak caps, and shoes OF
foreign pattern.
In the strictly military schools
khaki is worn. All the uniforms seen
appear to be Of British cloth, but
there is a rule, which is evidently ig.

used. Caps, buttons and braid all

rabbits killed in this county. Hugo
Schmalzel, in preparing rabbit, found
a tapeworm measuring more than thir-
ty feet in length. John Powers and

THE sNxIDER STREET. MOVEMENT

The proposed widening of Calumet
avene from eighty to 100 feet is a
timely suggestion that should be acted
upon at once.
Every progressive city in the coun-
try has been confronted by the prob
lem of narrow thoroughfares as soon
as it has reached proportions where
congestion IN which the average width
OF streets becomes a possibility.
In majority Of instances, however,
the necessity if ignored or fought
over until the expense of widening
makes the undertaking a serious prop
osition. If not impossible. it at least.
when improved with many buildings,
Is attended by such great expense as
to work hardship on many Of those
who are obliged to bear the burden
of the Improvement.
The widening of State street In Chi
cago. a quarter Of century ago. was
accomplished only after the most bit
ter opposition of property owners
whose buildings fronting that
thoroughfare had either to be moved
at great expense or torn down and re-
built.
Chicago right now IS In the throes
of an agitation TO widen Halsted street.
and Hammond viii do well to take
warning from the rich heritage of ex-
perience In this connection dearly
bought by other municipalities the
country over.
Calumet avenue is in the trend of the
encroachment of business. which is
bound to be eastward henceforth. ana
while the widening of the street might
work q temporary hardship upon a
few property owners right now. it viii
be a benefit in the long run both to
the land holders and the city as a
whole.
