If there is fluttering 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 weak heart strong
by taking DIR. Miles Heart Rem
edy. Get a bottle from your
druggist, take it according to di-
rections, and if it does not bene-
fit he will return your money.

consider a number of engineers and
select the one who has the best Gre
Gcntiais. The mayor thought it would
not be a bad idea for the filter com
panieS to hand in names of engineers
but Alderman Thompson saw possibiI-

the mayor then advanced the succes-
ton that the clerk be instructed to
communicate with half dozen of the
better known engineers and invite
propositions from them, having them
ready for consideration at the council
meeting next Monday evening. This
was put in the form of a motion and
adopted.
