weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the heart. 1t is not neces-
sarlly diseascd-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

rections, and if it does not bene-

ball Notes of Interest to
League Fans.

Manager Egan of Burlington is
elated over 1909 prospects and states
that he will have one of the best clubs
in the history of the town. The fact
that he has three Indians, who will
be on the payroll next season, is ex-
pected to be big drawing card. The
Indians are Little Boy" Hallet and
Leroy. and it is expected that all
will make good. Egan outlines his
practice season as follows:
My first game will be played with
the Knox college team at Galesburg,
April .. April and we are at
Peoria. April and at Rock Island,
and the 18th and 9th at Davenport.
We jump back to Peoria for games
April 10 and II. April IL and Is the
team will be at Decatur. Then ! ex-
pect to arrange games with Galesburg
and Monmouth on the way back home.
The team will get back here about
to fill in the time up to the opening
of the season.
Manager Comiskev of the White
Sox, will in all probability take Pitch
er Spencer. of last years Burlington
club, to California for the spring train
ing season. Spencer's chances for
playing with the White Sox next year
are thought to be excellent.

TALLY relieved. Last evening jus. be-
fore train time Mr.. Hough suffered
another attack and grave fears We're
entertained for his recovery for a
time. He recovered however during
the night and was able to start eo-
home at o:23 this morning.
The kewanee Star-Courier con-
tanned the following very interesting
article telling of the able representa-
tives at the recent meeting of the Cen
trail Association in that city:
Little did Kewanee citizens realize

gambling and if one takes goods thai
way it is stealing. The code of Iowa
says any man that CANDLES is a THIEF.
he gambling mania is far worse than
| the drink habit. Gambling is a dagger
at the heart of the institutions of this
country. These are questions fol-
statesmen.
The young man is not safe if he
drinks-not to excess-but if he drinks
at all. The immense expense of the
liquor traffic in our country is beyond
comprehension. If every minute OF
time from Jesus Christ to the present
day could be converted into silver dol.
lars the whole thing would not pay
our national drink bill of one year. II

The meeting concluded with three or
four appealing illustrations and when
the invitation was given several men
signifed their intention to no longer
strive against God.
