20 Years
WithHeartTr

"Dr. Miles Heart Remedy has
cured me of heart disease of
over 20 years standing. I was
so bad that | could not do my
work, and could scarcely draw
a full breath without fainting or
smothering. The doctor told me
he could do no more for me;
then l commenced taking the
Heart Remedy. l shall never
forget that night. l slept better
than I had before in months. I
kept right on getting better, un-
til | was perfectly WELL"
MRS. LAURA RUSSELL,
Logan, Iowa.
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
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

Want Senator Smith To Lead

The Louisville Courier-J Journal has
the following to say from its Wash
ington correspondents
John Walter Smith, the astute
Maryland Senator, to whose political
acumen is attributed the rehabilita-
ton OF the Maryland Democracy, is
being quietly doomed for the chair
manship OF the Democratic National
Committee. and, as such, the directing
force i'll the 1912 campaign.
Those behind Nhe Smith move
mcnt-and there seem to be a good
many OF them-claim that the Mary
land Senator is the best organizer in
the country, and fully measures up to
the presidential conflict two years
hence.
Senator Smith is OF tuc quiet type.
He doesn't even whisper aud never
appears to be doing anything. But
somehow when the show down comes
everything is i'll his hands.
1T is, OF course, appreciated that
the Presidential candidate nearly al
ways selects his campaign manager
, There was an exception in 1904, when
Judge Alton B. Parker wanted August
Belmont, but, at the solicitation Of
his political friends, finally consented
to the selection OF Tom Taggarr, OF
Indiana.
Those who are talking Smith say
that whether Governor Wilson, Cover
nor Marshall, Governor Harmon OF
I Speaker Clark is made the standard
! bearer. it's all the same-rhat the Sena
tor is the man to put him in the White
House when the smoke Of the con
vention battle blows away"

All this information was contained
in a letter written by MIR. Roosevelt
and received in Omaha. The letter
was written to Mr.. Franklin Shotwelt
leader of the Progressive Republican
League of Nebraska
MIR. Roosevelt does not, however,
state that he will not eventually be q
candidate Last week Mr.. Shotwell, in
the name of the league. wrote TO Col
onel Roosevelt telling him the league
desired to place his name upon the
ticket in November for presidential
nominee of the Republican party and
asked his approval Of the movement
Mr.. Shotwell called attention that
western Republicans. and especially
Nebraskans, looked upon Roosevelt
as the only progressive Republican
who could secure the nomination. Col
onel Roosevelt's answer was as fol
lows:
MY Dear Mr. Shotwell--I thank
you for your letter and very sincerely
appreciate your good feeling. You say
that you do not wish 10 embarrass
me. Any such movement as that yot
suggest would very deeply embarras'
me and | must insist that you and
my other friends have shall do al
in their power to prevent any sucl
