Five Years
of Heart Trouble Cured by
DR.. Miles Heart Remedy.

Before I began taking DR..
Miles Heart Remedy had been
suffering from heart trouble for
over five years. I had pains in
my left side, and under my
shoulder blade, could not sleep
on the left side, and was so short
of breath the least exertion
would bring on the most distress
ing palpitation. I had scarcely
taken a half bottle OF the Heart
Remedy before could see a
marked change in my condition.
When I had taken six bottles I
was cured"

If there is Auttering or palpi-
tation it is an indication Of a
weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the heart. 1t is not neces-
sarily diseased-just weak from
over-work. The heart may be
weak just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs. You
can make a weak heart strong
by taking DR.. Miles Heart REM
edy. Get a bottle from your
druggist, take it according to d.

TAFT SEES PROCESS
OF SUGAR REFINING
Expert Shows President Use of Dutch Color Standard
and Why Its Adjustment Would Actually
Aid American Beet Rasers

President Taft yesterday afternoon
spent the greater part of an hour with
a demonstration and explanation Of the
processes Of refining sugar, designed to
enforce the argument that the Dutch
standard OF color IS the ECKER in the
sugar schedule. which provides the real
protection 10 the Sugar trusts refining
monopoly, and enables 1t TO control the
market of this country.
The demonstration was made by Will
liam L Bass, an experienced sugar
manufacturer, whose father was long in
the business IN Cuba. The elder Bass
was the leading engineer OF Cuba for
many years, and manufactured the ap-
paratus and with II made the sugar
which captured the worlds first prize
at the Centennial exposition In 1875.
Mr. Bass took with him 10 the White
House a miniature and necessarily rudt-
mentary apparat as with which to illus
trate the physies. process OF refining by
the use Of boneblack. This is the process
which the trust performs, and through
the monopoly OF which IT controls sugar.
Mr.. Bass explained the manufacture
from the beginning, showing that the
refining process is unnecessary as 10 a
large proportion of sugar. and that un-
refined sugar ss5k per cent pure would
come into the country at prices far

color test imposed by the tariff did not

sugars, unfit for the market, to come in.
thus necessitating their refinement be-
fore they could be consumed.
The President was much interested in
the demonstration and asked many
questions. He was assured that the re-
moVel of the color test would not only
not iHlure the beet sugar interest of
TINS country but would actually help
II. rms Tor the reason that most of the
oeet sugar business is now in control

VIEWS ON DECISION
Its Nullifying Effect on Pure Food
Law Commented on by
Writers.

Solicitor General Bowers seems
to be standing practically alone in
his position regarding the proper
labelling of whisky and neutral
spirits.
Knowing the widespread interest
aroused by his recent ruling on what
constitutes whisky within the terms
of the pure food law, and regard-
ing the use Of caramel or other col
oring matter to give new whisky

has called upon the heads of the
pure food departments Of the vari-
