Don't
 Neglect It

It is a serious mistake to neglect a weak heart. It is such a short step to chronic heart disease. When you notice irregu- larity of action, occasion ing short breath, palpita- tion, futtering, pain ill chest or difficulty in lying on left side, your heart needs help-a strengthen ing tonic. There is no bet ter remedy than Dr. Miles, Heart Cure. Its strength ening influence is felt al most at once.
 q have used 10 bottles of Dr. Miles Heart Cure and can truthfully say it has done me more good than anything l have ever used, and I have tried nearly everything that I know of. The doctor who attended me asked me what I was taking and I told him Dr. Miles Heart Cure, he said it was not going to do me any good, but it did. 1 have not taken any for a year now, and while there is occasionally a slight symptom of the old trouble it is not enough for me to continue the use of the medicine. If should get worse I would know what to do. Take Dr. Miles Heart Cure as I did before l consider myself practically cured of my heart trouble.'

Greek and Roman Artillery.

Greek ordinance-which was adept ed by the Romans without any ma terial alteration-was, almost without exceptions, dependent on the hand bow principle, says the Technical World Magazine. On trying to shoot a larger bullet to greater distances, the elastic arms of the bow were nec- essarily made so strong as to be no longer susceptible of tightening by hand. A tension shaft had therefore to be fitted to the bow, which shaft was frightened with levers or hand wheels. Finally, as the power of bows altogether failed to insure the efficiency desired, their bending elas- ticity was replaced by the tensional elasticity of neura, that is, ropes made from animal sinews, woman's hair, or, in an emergency, horsehair.

A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
ssARY.

The Post Is strictly in favor Of the
election of senators by the direct vote
of the people, ana 1t is strictly oppos
ed to calling a Federal constitutional
convention at this time Article OF
the constitution provides that con
gress. whenever two-thirds of huth
houses shall deem IT, necessary. shall
propose amendments to the constitu-
tion, such amendments to become cf
fectiyo when ratified by the lcgisla'
lures OF threefourths Of the states.
II is quite as easy 10 secure in this
manner the necessary amendment for
the election uf senators by popular
vote as hy the constitutional eunvrn.
iion plan. In view Of the unsettled
state Of public sentiment in the coun-
try at this time, II might be dangerous
TO call a convention, No one knows
what convention might propose or
what the people might adopt in n pc
riod Of excitement and unrest.
Some OF the states like New York,
Pennsylvania and Illinois might pro
pose, Nor instance, to destroy the
equal representation OF the states In
the senate, which is the very bulwark
of state sovereignty This very quc5.
tion has been widely discussed OF late
years. II is true that II is considered
impossible ia repeal the provision of
the constitution which declares that
no state shall ever he deprived of
its equal representation in the senate
without its consent, but we have fall
en- into days when the old constitu-
tion Is not respected as II once was,
and Il Is the better policy to take
no chances.
In the meantime, there Is NO assur.
ance that even an amendment proyid-
ing for the popular selection Of scna-
tors would ever be ratified by the
legislatures of three-fourths Of the
states, or in tho event 1t be proposed
by a constitutional convention, by

In an agricultural community we

held at the home of DIR. S. j. Fenton.
Two preliminary meetings already have
been held, at which the subject was dis
cussed and a plan of organization
formulated.
Mrs. Lillian H. Coffin. president of
the Equal Suffrage league, of San Fran
cisco; Mrs. Ida Nj. Cutting. president
OF the Women's Alliance of the First
Unitarian church, with Mrs. Adna A.
Dennison and Mrs. Jean Kellogg, are
prominent in the movement.
! a circular letter has been prepared
and copies nave been sent to repre-
women in all sections OF the
state. Women everywhere are urged
to demand the privilege Of the ballot
on the ground that government in the
hands of men alone has proved ex-
pensive. inefficient and terribly corrupt.
BY utilizing all available time it is
alleged that women will be able to par
ticipate in the affairs OF state without
neglect of home or clu life.
