Weak
Hearts
Are due to Indigestion. Ninety-nine ef every
one kundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when It was simple Indiges
tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of Indi
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which falls of perfect digestion ferments and
swellstho stomach, puffing it up against the
heart. This Interferes with the action of
the heart, and In the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased. 1

The most brilliant gem that waa ever

amount to much if there were no peo
ple to appreciate its beauty and to vie
with each other for its possession.
The most spacious store,
the most carefully selected
stock of goods, the clever
est corps of clerks will not
avail unless people know
about them.
Knowledge of such
things is spread in various
ways. A passerby may
drop in and be impressed.
He may tell his neighbor,
and he in turn may tell
somebody else.
That is one way, and
there are some merchants
who today think it is good
enough. Modern develop

Totter* In a !Vevr York Street and
Then Waken L’p Suddenly In an lee
Bath at Bellevue Honpltal—How He
'Waa Handled by a Doctor and HI*
Attendant*.
During the recent spell of hot weath
er the physicians of Bellevue hospital,
in New York, have been doing a noble
work In the relief of citizens stricken
by the heat. Their ministrations are
not only successful In saving the life
of the patient, but the process to which
the sunstruck one Is subjected Is pleas
ant aud bracing. This account was
written by a reporter for the New
York World who was recently treated
at Bellevue for sunstroke:
It was a curious series of circum
stances that sent me to the Isolation
ward of Bellevue. Too much to eat
at Irregular hours and not half enough
sleep, followed by a wild desire to hus
tle lu the hot sun on an important
news story, gave me a feeling of awful
lassitude and dejection. The work to
be done lay over east of Second ave
nue. At 5 o'clock I remember labor
ing along heavily In a slow walk, my
legs feeling like bags of sand and my
head throbbing painfully. I felt hot.
dry, stifling, feverish.
Suddenly my body seemed to go sail
ing smoothly In midair, the unneeded
legs floating uselessly under It. All
the world was whirling in a mass of
red vapor wreaths, and I began to
fall. The falling sensation seemed to
last for ages. I fell, now fast, now
slow, again fast, until I plunged Into
the polar sea.
Oh, how cold It was! Surely nothing
else could be half so cold as this. Dim
ly my struggling mind began to re
member reading somewhere tbe Eski
mo belief that hell is a place of eter
nal, illimitable lee. This surely was
that place. Fubr, who nobly stood by
his fallen companion, afterward as
sured me that quite twenty minutes
elapsed from the time I dropped like u
log on the hot side of Twenty-fourth
street until I began flopping like a
newly caught fish In tho Ice water tub
at Bellevue, but the mind of the pa
tient recognized no gap between the
fall and tbe ice bath.
1 struggled with all the force that
was In me to break the grasp of count
less hands that held me down In that
Icy sea. They were not trying to
drown me, for nose and eyes aUvays
remained above tho waves, but surely
they were going to freeze me to death,
for file cold of the Icy sea seemed to
strike into the spinal cord Itself. With
one last gathering of strength I
plunged upward. No use. Eight
hands held me fast. Now I noticed
that the eight hands were chafing me
ceaselessly from head to foot. Per
haps, after all,-their Intentions were
not murderous. As my mlud became
clearer I was able to distinguish the
face of the man in command, u long,
studious face, with a square blue chin
and lit by kindly blue eyes that
gleamed through glasses.
“Not so bad now,” said tbe face.
“What’s his temperature?”
“One hundred and one, six, doctor,"
replied another face, which I had not
seen before.
“Good," said the doctor. ‘‘Keep the
massage going.”
The eight hands flew over the pa
tient's body, rubbing as briskly as tbe
hands of trainers over a football player.
There was in the situation a humorous
likeness to that of an athlete being
rubls*d down between rounds. The
patient grinned a little at the Idea.
"How’re you feeding?” asked the doe
tor.
"Kuk - kuk - kuk - cold,” I replied.
“They’ve gut 8,000 cubic miles of Ice
and salt packed on tbo top of tho back
of my bead.”
“M-m-m,” mused the doctor, while
he and his three assistants kept on
briskly chafing limbs and body.
“What's the temperature?”
“Ninety-nine," answered a voice.
“Good," was the doctor’s comment.
“Now, thou!”
Lifted by the eight hands, the pa
tient’s body was wafted from the Icy
polar sea to a bed, a small, white cot.
1 lay back on warm, exquisitely clean
woolen blankets and skivered luxuri
ously. But the ice mountain at the top
of the back of my bead still felt so In
tensely cold that it seemed to burn.
The doctor cut the string under my
ear and took off a big rubber cap filled
with cracked Ice. I looked down from
the cot and saw beside the l>ed a long
bathtub on four rubber tired wheels.
It was painted white outside and made
of spotless, highly polished zinc with
in. A dozen or more crystal chunks of
Ice floated In the water. ‘The doctor
laughed ns I jooked down Into the tub
and shivered.
“You’ll do,” he said. “You’re all
right.”
After a few hours’ rest they brought
me a bowl of chicken broth and bade
im* eat It slowly. I have never tasted
nectar, but surely It must be something
like this. The doctor came In and said
I might go home, but I must be sure
to get a long night’s sleep.
"A knockdown like this takes a lot
out of you.” he said. "You were not
•one of the worst cases, hut you must
be careful. The bath? That wasn’t so
awfully cold. We never let It get be
low .VI degrees F. The cold plunge and
plenty of massage stimulated your clr-
cnlatlon and brought It back to the
normal. If you had been a very bad
case wu would have given you hypo
dermic Injections of digitalis and
strychnine to spur tho heart to ac
tion. But you didn’t need that."
GOAT AS “LAMU CHOPS.”
How the Feattre Billy 1* Trans
formed by Batcher*.
Goat, says the department of agri
culture in a bulletin recently Issued,
goat, common garden goat, supplies a
considerable part of the “lamb" and
“mutton” handled by the great pack
ing houses and sold by the wholesalers
and retailers all over the country.
Au expert named Thompson, who
conducted the goat Investigation, re
flects as follows in his report upon
goat as a table delicacy, says a Wash
ington dispatch to the Kansas City
Star:
“It Is generally agreed by those who
speak from experience that the kids of
all breeds of goats are a table deli
cacy. It Is true that among the great
masses of the people of this country
there Is a remafkable and well ground
ed prejudice against anything bearing
tbe name of goat.
“Within the environments of the
larger cities are found many kids, and
it Is evident that only a few of them
ever grow to maturity. What becomes
of the rest? Butchers rfnd meat deal
ers answer this question by saying
that they are sold as lamb. No meat
dealer has ever heard a complaint
against the quality of such lamb.
“A considerable number of middle
aged and old mongrel goats are pur
chased by the packing houses of the
larger cities. They are purchased as
gout, but are sold as mutton, and
many of those who so strenuously con
demn goat have eaten It a score of
times.”
Mr. Thompson adds that the elderly
goat Is not as good as good mutton,
but that it is not any worse than bad
mutton. He insists that the prejudice
against it would disappear If the peo
ple would only make a test and eat
goat as goat instead of as lamb. He
Is not very hopeful, however, of such
a result. Mr. Thompson Is George
Fayette Thompson, editor of the bu
reau of animal Industry. He started
ni*on his goat report with the purpose
of answering the numerous Inquiries
which have reached the bureau ns to
the possibility of creating a goat in
dustry In the United States. It was
while Incidentally remarking upon the
present size of the Industry that he

confound our morning lamb with goat
chops.

Yovel Feature* I’lnimed For the
JnmeMtown Kxhibltlon In 1007.
Flower displays will be a feature of
the Jamestown exhibition In 11)07 on
tlx* shore of the Hampton Roads, be
tween Norfolk and Fort Monroe, says
the Washington Post.
Over 5,000 small plants were gath
ered last winter for use on tbe
grounds. There are more honeysuckle
slips than any other shrubs or vines.
Nearly 125,0(H) honeysuckle plants
were secured. Next In number come
slips of periwinkle, and third are the
trumpet vino plants. Recently the
grounds were Inclosed by a wire fence
stretched on decorative posts. This
fence will be covered with flowers and
verdure.
Twenty thousand rosebushes have
been placed along the lines of wire,
and trumpet vine and honeysuckle have
been planted at Intervals. Before the
gates of tbe exposition open a thick
mass of green, commingling with
honeysuckle- flowers and red roses,
will obscure all outside view.
It has been part of the decorative
plan evolved by the board of design
that native plants should be used as
far as possible. Fifty thousand Eu
ropean private cuttings, such as are In
use for hedges In England, will be
used, as well as between 10,000 and
20,000 cuttings of mountain laurel and
willow and miscellaneous collections
from old Virginia gardens. Among the
large shrubs will behollys, red maples,
locusts, flowering dogwood, apple and
cherry trees, red cedar, paper mulber
ries and water oaks.
Several thousand willows are already
In position. It has been the design to
preserve the natural features of the
grounds wherever possible. The por
tion of tidewater Virginia where tbe
exhibition Is to be held Is known for
the luxuriance with which plants and
flowers grow.

IN-rnIntcncc of the Darker Race*.
Thirty years ago it was common
enough to meet persons not unedu
cated who talked as though the darker
races were dying out before the gin,
gunpowder and disease disseminated
by Europeans, says the National Re
view. -Almost every one knows better
now—knows that the Chinese, the
Hindoo, the Arab, the negro, the chief
colored races, In fact, increase and
multiply wherever the white man re
strains war, famine and pestilence.
Even the American Indian between
Texas and the Gran Chaco Is In no
hurry to be Improved off the face of
1 the new world. The education of the
colored races and their equipment by
European science are only beginning,
I yet the last decade has witnessed tho
defeat of two great European powers—
one by chocolate hued mountaineers,
the other by tawny Islanders.

device for Interments, says the Lon

of an appliance for lowering tho coffins

there Is nothing to offend tbe senslblli-

lowered slowly and reverently. When
the coffin reaches Its resting place the
