Every
Heart Beat

Forces about 8 ounces of blood
out of the heart, and sends it
coursing through the veins to
the renotest part of the body.
This is the amount required by
nature to nourish and sustain
your body. Every ounce less
than this means a shortage in
natures supply of building-up
material. A weak heart cannot
meet this demand, and conse-
quently you suffer. If your
heart skips a beat, or futters,
paipitates, pains you, or you
have shortness of breath, you
may be sure that the heart is
working inperfectly.

EUROPE ON THE MESSAGE
What the Leading Papers at Some
National Capitals Re-
mark

London, Dec 3. - The Daily Tele-
graph says of President Roose-
velt's message that the president
speaks out resolutely and fearlessly,
knowing that the Democracy likes q
man who is not afraid to be its master
The Standard says that the most sig
nificant feature of the message is that
the president is constantly finding
himself up against" the American
constitution. The Daily News says the
president seems to be wrestling with
forces he can comprehend, but cannot
control.
Paris, Dec. 5.-The morning papers
generally do not comment upon Presi-
dent RoOsevelt's message, but they
give to it the most prominent place
on their pages and publish dispatches
from New York recording the feeling
Of dissa tisfaction over the presidents
references to the San Francisco situa-
tion.
Rome, Dec. 5.-President Roosevelt's
message has produced an excellent i'm
preston here. His denunciation OF
lynching and the paragraphs upon
peace and righteousness, and when
war is not merely justifable but i'm
/ perative, have been received with es-
/ uecial satisfaction
