THE HEART.
How It Acts In Every Day Life.

The human heart in a healthy mai
weighs but eleven ounces. 1t beats
from long before birth until death, in
an average lifetime, about seven mill
lion times, allowing seventy beats to
the minute. Every twenty-four hours
this slight organ performs labor equiv
alent to lifting a ton of material eighty
feet into the air. If the blood becomes
poor, and filled with poiso-s from dis
eased kidneys, he heart is not only
starved, but poisoned as well. 1t soon
becomes exhausted and unable to meet
any extraordinary demand which may be
made upon it. Supply pure blood; get
the kidneys to working; tone up the
feeble stomach DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery puri6es the blood,
relieves the kidneys and tones up the
alimentary canal. Give the heart the
food it needs and it will continue to work
till the natural end of life.
Pensacola, Fiat was in a very bad
shape four years ago and from what had
read in regard to heart trouble, considered
my case quite serious, which would have
in time become fatal but for the strength
ening and sustaining good that received
from DR.. Pierce's valuable Golden Medical
Discovery. My heart would palpitate

USES FOR IDLE MONEY.
Fields of Activity That Remain to
Be Developed in United States.

From the New York Commercial.
In the United States are nearly a
hundred million persons, enjoying peace
and such prosperity as they never
knew before. We have capital and
ready cash to build up enterprises that
would give employment to every man
in the country without selling a dol
lars worth of war materials to the bel
ligerents in Europe. We can increase
the production of manufactured goods.
on the one hand, and stimulate our own
consumption of them, on the other, to a
point that will give everybody a gener-
GUS share OF all the comforts and lux
uries that make life worth living.
Farmers in the western states are
prosperous and consume large guam
titles of manufactured goods. from au-
tomobiles down to toys for their chill
dren. Judicious publicity will teach
them that the more they spend as long
as they keep within their incomes the
more they can sell in the home market,
because by spending they add to the
buying power of the operatives in the
workshops. We have wealth and re-
sources. and the way to become still
more prosperous is to distribute this
national wealth as widely and evenly
as possible.
In the south a great field remains in
ton are far below what they should be.
Conditions have improved, but the
change for the better is as yet merely
an indication of what could be done
The small white farmers of the hill
section of Georgia. Alabama and the
Carolinas seem better suited to factory
employment than to agriculture, and
those who have left the soil and have
gone into the southern mill towns with
their families are doing we'll. They are
handy and soon learn to tend machines
of all kinds, and to them the southern
cotton mills owe their present prosper
ity. The negroes. on the contrary, are
not suited to midtown life. but thrive
on the farms. negro will not work
steadily in a factory and is seldom
healthy when herded in tenements Put
him on a little farm of his own. and
give him, some help and announcement.
and he becomes a self-respecting pro-
Queer of real wealth. instead of an aim
less spender of his weeks wages. All
southern farmers must be taught to di-
versify their operations. BY raising
live stock and poultry and the feed for
them and his family the southern farm
er will be able to sell his cotton for
cash and buy comforts and luxuries to
which the poorer ones have hitherto
been unaccustomed.
