Weak Heart From AttacK of LaGrippe. Palpitation, Smother ing, Short Breath. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure Cured Me. The terrible after effects of I.a Grippe are most dangerous when they attack the heart, the engine of life. Weak hearts are as com mon ns weak stomachs and when an attack is made upon the weak heart, that organ soon li-comes a diseased heart and the patient will unless promptly treated, suffer long and eventually die of heart disease, the dread of millions. I)r. Miles' Heart Cure strengthens and regulates the heart's action, enriches the bloo i and improves the circulation. "Some years ago I had an attack of the (•rip and it left me with a very weak heart, l'.dpitation, shortness of breath and smother ing -pells that made me sit up in bed to Ire ithe, robbing me of sleep, made me most miserable. I would become fatigued and exhausted from the least exertion and was iii such a critical condition that I could not attend to my business. My physician seemed unable to control my case, and instead of fcetimg better 1 was gradually growing weaker every day. Then I began taking Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and after I had used two bottles I was greatly improved. I continued with the remedy until I had taken in all six bottles, when 1 was able to attend to busi lK'-s without inconvenience. 1 was com -I'"tely and permanently cured of heart trouble by Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and cheer fu lv recommend it to all sufferers from that teni'de affliction."—ll. 11.

Through Selling Abroud More Thau We IJuiiM'hi, Wc Have Met Our Obli gation* With Mei'ehaiidlne Instead at OeiuK Compelled to Export Gold. The New Haven correspondent. Mr. I'ruenian, to whose questions 011 the subject of foreign trade balances we have already devoted considerable j space, does not yet understand what | we have received in return for our ex | cess exports anil comes to us with fur : titer arguments and questions. Mr. i Trueinan's difficulty seems to be inabil | ity to grasp the principles of foreign i trade. Till he understands those fully he cannot comprehend the details. For ! instance, he asks: | "When during the past 111 years we I have exported merchandise amounting to $2,711,488,023 more than the imports, j besides exporting $1,408,105,000 in gold and silver more than we imported, a total reaching the enormous sum of $4,170,043,923, what could we possibly have received that was not paid for as we went along? As all foreign capital | imported into this country and invest ed here is included in the above calcu lations, how can it be impossible for j us to still owe any foreign debts unless we have received 110 equivalent for some of our exports?" j A debt is not paid till an equivalent j is returned by the borrower to the | lender. Some people seem to think | that the giving of a note pays the debt, but there is always a subsequent j awakening for such people. Not only : must the amount In full be returned, i but oftentimes, if the debt be allowed . to run a great length of time, an amount equal to or even exceeding the i debt itself will have to be paid in iu | terest in addition to the principal, i What, then, is received in return for this outlay of interest? That alone j will account for a large part of our ex cess of exports of merchandise and gold and silver, which Mr. Trueman correctly shows has exceeded $4,000,- 000,000. I Our annual freight bill and the ' amounts expended by American tour | ists abroad added to the sums sent to j the old country are between three and j four hundred million dollars a year, I and if we did not pay these bills and j these exchanges in merchandise we should have to pay them In gold. To divest the subject of all confusion and complexity let us assume that the money which has been borrowed by our government and corporations and individuals was an Import, and when returned It became an export and need not consequently lie considered at all. We think that the items of Interest and dividends and rents and freight and tourists' expenditures and moneys sent abroad as gifts make up a large portion of the more than $4,000,000,- 000 excess of exports during our his tory. It will be impossible to specify exact or even approximate amounts in connection with these several items, and the free trader can continue till doomsday to ask the question, "What have we received for our excess ex ports?" The honest student, however, will see at once and acknowledge that we must have received a full equivalent and that If we had not during recent years been able to show a large excess of exports of merchandise we should have been compelled to part with our gold to an equivalent amount. Mer chandise, being consumable and per ishable, decreases both in volume and value, while gold retains its full value from year to year and must add to the wealth of the country which Imports it or keeps It. If we import from abroad $1,000,000 worth of wine, for which we must send abroad $1,000,000 worth of merchandise or gold, at the end of a few months the wine lias been consumed and we have nothing whatever to show for it. It has not added to the wealth of the country, while at the same time we have part ed with either $1,000,000 worth of gold, which is stable wealth, or else $1,000,- 000 worth of merchandise, which in turn in a few months may lose its value abroad, but with which we have been able to pay an obligation to that amount. We are at the end of the , transaction neither better off nor worse I off. If we export merchandise for the wine we are no better off. If we ex port gold we are worse off. Now let 11s reverse the transaction. If we send $1.000,000 worth of grain abroad and receive $1,000,000 worth of merchandise or gold in return we are either as well or better off. If, therefore. In the various transac tions wherein we export and import the necessaries and luxuries of life we can make payments in merchandise for what we buy we certainly are at 110 time any worse off, nor have we lost any wealth. If. however, we must make payments in gold for what we buy we certainly must be worse off, for in a few months' time we will nei ther have the gold nor the commodity If. however, we can receive gold In payment of our merchandise sold abroad we then add real wealth to the country. As far as the totals In dol lars and cents or pounds sterling or francs or marks are concerned, the to tal exports of the world for a given time must equal the imports. Of course It Is true 111 tills connection that the balance cannot be struck at any par ticular time. There will be lapses of obligations and differences in valuation, but the statement Is approximately true, nevertheless, that each year the countries of the world export and im- I»rt abeut $10,000,000,000 worth of merchandise and bullion. To thoroughly comprehend, then, how an excess ot exports must be in pay ment of a past obligation or to be paid 6hortTalks on Advertisind No. 8. ' One man succeeds and another man fails and people wonder how it happens. It seems soinetimos to people who don't think deeply that the weaker, duller man jtoes ahead, and that his more brilliant brother sticks in the rut at the bottom of the hill. Slight dilTerences in men seem to make all the wide differences between success and failure. 1 In games of chance (?) the " bank " has only li slight — Jf percentage, but the bank always wins. JUL Kfi Hack of every result is a reason. Back of business success are earnestness, energy, Vi |fl persistence, concentration. Between these * and achievement is advertising. jEf '• -j J No man ever yet made a success of busi ness without advertising of some sort. Maybe y , he didn't call it advertising, but it was adver tising just the same. t M Advertising primarily W W consists in letting a lot of "S| r„niWf M * people know you are in S ..Py~ M existence and what excuse you may have for it. ■ . , , In famtt 0/ chanci tht 'bank aliv.iy* wins. The nucleus of adver. tising is a sign over the door. If nobody had ever put up a sign, one baking powder company would not now bo paying out SBOO,OOO a year placing signs in all the newspapers of America. When a man goes into business he has some cards printed, and when he meets an acquaintance thereafter he pokes out a card and says: "When you are down my way, drop in." That's advertising. The trouble is that you can't repeat the operation often euough—personally. What you can do is to put the card and the remark, I . \.l i more or lest elaborately expressed, into such a paper I "l\ KullYiil/ 1 1 as l ' le one ou are reu( '' tl ß now and have it handed fvu\\\ \lt \l/ to a great number of people all in one day. \/ The difference in men that makes one do this \ >i j and another refuse is small. That is, it looks small jjU&ji , A-Wftt at the start. It's like most all little things. When ■"■PByaJß'Ff' rr y ou sto P to analyse it and ligure it out to its ulti mate result, you find that it grows into proportions i. - ~~ of great magnitude.
