Heart Failure Due to Hyacinths,

Until lately few cases of serious
heart failure due to the presence of
hyacinths in living rooms have been
recorded.
The latest instance is that of a
healthy young girl in Bromley, Kent,
who, after sitting for couple OF
hours in a room in which there were
several pots of these plants, began
to feel somewhat faint Two hours
later, after she had gone home she
fell into a deep sleep The doctor in
attendance stated that the defective
heart action, leading to the insult
ficient supply of blood to the brain,
which caused the fainting, was due
to the effect of the hyacinth scent on
the nerves which regulate the hearts
action.
= Heavily scented flowers" says a
medical man, referring to this case,
SHOULD never be kept in any living
room which is not we'll ventilated.
The heavy feeling which too many
flowers in a close room are apt to
give is due to a slightly depressant
action on the heart. If the heart is
weak, or nervous, and the perfume
is sufficiently concentrated, the heart
beat may be so impaired as to cause
a prolonged fainting fit. st Louis

|. st. Louis, Mo.-The most hopeful
sign of an improvement soon to come
in the condition of business is the for
nation of the National Prosperity AS
sociation of St. Louis, with it's slogan,
'Let us alone" and it's platform,
Give us rest and sunshine"
Numerous organizations through
out the country have taken up the
matter, and already the outlook is
brighter.
All thinking men agree that the
two greatest curses in this country
are the politicians and the yellow
journals, and any association formed
to combat the harm they have done
and are doing can but result in good
for the country.
The National Prosperity Associa-
tion of st. Louis was organized, fol-
lowing an address of b. f. Yoakum
chairman of the Executive Board OF
the Rock Island-'Frisco railroads be-
fore the St. Louis Trade Club. His
''Let us alone" suggestion was taken
up by the business organizations, and
Give US rest and sunshine" cam
paign planned, under the National
Prosperity Association.
The purpose of the organization
is to inaugurate a national movement
for the restoration of confidence, and
a general revival of commercial and
industrial activity. The platform
adopted unanimously by the leaders
of the movement, is-To keep the
dinner pail full, to keep the pay car
going, to keep the factory busy, to
keep the workmen employed, to keep
the present wages up.
The idea spread like wildfire
throughout the country, and to aid in
the dissemination of the cheer the
Executive Committee had printed
100000 copies of the platform.
These, with letters, were sent to
every business, labor and civic organ
ization in the United States.
Through all the avenues of public
ity the give us a rest declaration
has circulated rapidly and effectually,
reaching hamlets on the country cross
roads and settlements on the inter-
national boundaries, and from all
parts of the United States are coming
spontaneous responses.
The movement is now far beyond
the period of an exchange of greet
ings and assurances, and there are
numerous tangible evidences that it
will lead soon into an actual national
assertion against pernicious agita-
ton. The fair deal, sunshine and
square meal" principle is expressed
in all the letters received, and the
officers of the association are aston
ished at the number and tone of let
ters from corporations and individ-
uals in distant parts of the country.
Merchants, railroad men, bankers,
brokers and men conducting every
other sort of business Joined in the
new slogan, "let us alone" sounded
against the indiscriminate flaying of
corporate interests.
With one accord they agreed that
1t is time to put stop to the destruc-
ton of economic stability that such a
policy caused.
The most encouraging messages in
the mass received were from New
York, Chicago and Kansas City. The
idea seems to have taken hold almost
instantly in the East and Middle
West.
Assurances of jealous support were

the stairs leading to the loft of the
cabin when second shot was fired
He, also, was instantly killed, a
charge OF shot entering his neck. His
hand still grasped the cards which he
held as he jumped up from the table.
Other shots were fired through the
shattered windows, but the survivors
OF the family had succeeded in reach
ing. places Of safety.
Zen Kardor, boarder, was in the
cabin at the time, and told the au-
thorities that he saw Dunning fire the
first shot. Members of the family
say that when Dunning left after fail

had been drinking, he called to her:

Dunning stoutly maintains his in
nocence. The Coroner, Sheriff and
District Attorney are on the scene,

others beside Dunning are implicated
in the double murder.
