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, aRhoughf they may be taking in a normal amount of air. The result is shortness of breath, smothering spells, diffi cult breathing, oppressed feeling in chest. Dr. Miles’ Heart Rem edy strengthens the heart nerves and muscles, and in this way increases the circulation. Get a bottle from your drug gist.

T!otton seed meal as used for all kinds of cattle, hogs, sheep and goats, is already so well established as to need no com ment. But it is not so well known that cotton seed meal is equally valuable.as a food for horses and mules. The eminent Dr. Tail Butler, of the North Carolina Experimental Station, a recognized authority on animal feeding, says in speaking ol a proper ration for work horses and mules, “I wou.d rather have two pounds of cotton seed meal than four jyounds of corn; I would rather have two pounds of cotton seed meal than four pounds cf oats. Corn is a good horse feed, but we are wasting to Mr. Graham. 4ftfl Sanitary Condition*. “Strictly in reply to your hup- gestion, we would respectfully call your attention' that the conditions in and around the hosiery mill, as well as those in all other depart- liian that enjoyed by employee* in private industries of similar char acter and that the danger to their health is correspondingly less. * We. therefore, respectfully sub mit that in nowise can the hosiery mill he considered a public nuisance nowise can It be considered The county board Of Education Fr to c.qdng.
