The spelling school was an institution

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem

Car Famine Predicted.

New York MaiI.-In spite of periodl-
cal bulletins stating the number OF
idle cars IN the country, it is officially
predicted that there will shortly be
another car famine like that Of 1907
when millions of bushels OF gram
were left to rot on western farms for
lack Of transportation.
Should this prediction be fulhiied IL
will give added emphasis to one OF the
most perpIexing aspects Of our internal
development as a nation. Thai aspect
is disclosed in the fact that our pro-
duction has increased at a rate alto

Among the 271,0O0 plays 1 have

games which l have reported, two
individual feats, stand out above all
others in my memory.
One was the catch Bill Lange
made at Wcch lgton in the days
of the old 12-cidb league, when he
robbed AL Setback of a home run
and broke down the fence after
catching the ball. The other, an
infield play, seems to me even
greater, and for the exception of
the fact that I cannot for the life
of me remember whether it was
Clements or Monte Cross who hit
the ball, the play is as vivid now
as it was the day 1t was performed.
The hero of the play was Jimmy
