Heartburn Comes
From the Stomach

The heart is an organ that people are
not inclined to trifle with, but person
may have fluttering of the heart, heart
burn and similar troubles and yet have
a perfectly sound heart Nine times
out of ten the disorder comes fromflE
stomach through dyspepsia, constipa4,
lion or some other digestive ailment.
So instead of taking heart cures"
m other such things that contain stimuiants
and narcotics, take harmless but efective
remedy like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin which
will correct the digestive disorder and - that
way cure the suppostdheart trouble. The remedy
is guaranteed TO do this, and you can obtain 1t
Of any druggist in 50 cent and 81 bottleA As
there are about 100 doses to the latter the cure
will cost you but q few cents.
The experience of Mrs. Knight, OF Bellvicw.
Tenn in this regard should be OF interest 70 all
who suffer from heartburn, etc. She writes that
for five years she suffered from indigestion and
constipation. from faiptipg spells, lutb,riDR at
the heart and heartburn. She couldn't eat meat
or ANYTHING seasoned with meat. Dr. Ca,dwelrs
Syrup Pepsin was recommended TO her and
inter few doses the indigestion and constipa-
ton was relieved and the faiDting spells and
heart trouble soon disappeared. She takes a
dose of the remedy after eating and now Deverl
feels any i'll effects no matter what she eats. It
would be well for those who suffer IN this way to
do as she did and be cured.
There is no question that DR.. Caldwell's Syr-
up Pepsin is the best tonic laxative ana dlgeSt-
ant at the disposal of the American people. II
is gentle in action and pleasant IN taste. 1t
never gripes. 1t is the ideal remedy for stom-
is gentle action is especially TO be recon-
mended to children, women and others who can
lot stand the violence and gripping Of salts.

HICKORY TREE HIS MONUMENT.
It Marks the Grave Of an Ardent Ad-
mirer of Andrew jackson.

In the Baptist graveyard at Canton
lies the body of an old revolutionary
soldier named James Sayres. A rude,
unlettered sandstone marks his grave,
but a more conspicuous monument is
a large hickory tree the trunk of
which. three feet from the ground,
measures 511s inches in circumfer-
ence.
James Sayres was an ardent admir-
err of Andrew Jackson so often called
old Hickory" from the character Of
being so unbending in any cause
which he believed to be right.
Mr.. Sayres always wore a sprig or
hickory on his breast on training
days" and before he died directed
that a hickory tree be planted on his
grave This was done, and after the
tree attained proportions deemed I'M
suitable to adorn a grave it was dug
up. Another tree sprang from the
roots left in, and this in time was
also dug up.
When a third tree appeared, with a
persistency in a good cause worthy of
emulation, relatives of the deceased
directed that 1t be not disturbed.
Hence the tree of large proportions
that annually showers its nuts over
the grave of the admirer of "Old Hick.

Uncle Sam has struck a blow ut
a class of professional men peculiar
to Washington. For a long time
it has been ii common practice for
department clerks to attend night
colleges, and, after securing di-
plomas. practice professions after
Office hours. These so-called sun
down" doctors, dentists, architects,
ETC.. were able to increase their in
comes. Protests were made by
regular members of various pro-
fessions. This has resulted in the
order prohibiting clerks from en-
gaging in any outside business that
requires their personal attention

RECORDING Millionths of a Second.

According to one Of the government
scientists, in experimenting with high
power explosives used in guns a
chronoscope has been employed which
registered the velocity of the pro-
jectire at 16 successive points before
il left the bore. 1t was possible with
this apparatus to register time to the
millionth of a second.
In former experiments, where the
velocity did not exceed 1900 or 1900
feet a second, the projectile recorded
its time by knocking down a series OF
steel triggers projecting into the bore.
But with velocities of $500 feet and
more TO the second, the trigger, in
stead of dropping, frequently plowed
a groove in the proiectile, and anoth-
er device was necessary.

WHO BURNED CITY OF Moscow
Confession Of the Incendiary as Sequel
to a Story Of Love and Hate.

Historians of Napoleon's invasion OF
Russia have for more than a century
been trying to discover whose hand II
was which applied the torch to Mos
COW or gave the order for the coniia-
grafton which precipitated the French
emperors retreat, says the Washington
Post. At the time Count Theodore
Rostopchine was said to have been the
incendiary In 1928, however, he pub
lished pamphlet, THE Truth Con
corning the Great Fire of Moscow" in
which the blame was laid at the door
of French soldiers made mad with vod-
ka. Now, however, the granddaughter
of the encouragement, Countess
Lydie Rostopchine, in a biography of
her grandfather, substantiates the
original charge against hi mand says
his denial was due to influence exert
ed over him by his beautiful wife.
Just before the city was taken he
had sent her to a distant province for
safety and on the evacuation by the
French he had implored her to come
back Ito husband who worships you
and who respects you beyond all 9TH
ers.' At the time the count was A
and the countess 35. In his letters to
her he had frankly admitted that he
had given orders to fire the city.
When he was accused of the deed by
the French officers she implored him
to deny the accusation. The secret
might have been buried with him but
for a subsequent discovery that his
wife had repudiated the orthodox re-
ligion and had become a Roman Cath
Ollie. He became embittered and mo-
rose under the shock. cut her off in
his will and left a sealed package con
tanning the truth about the Moscow
fire only to be opened and made public
a century after the date of his mar
riage. This duty has fallen to Count
ess Lydie Rostopchine to carry out.
