Hearts
Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges-
tion. Itis a scientific fact that sll 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 fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the 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.
Mr. D. Kauble, of Nevada, O., says: I had stomach
trouble and was in a bad state as ] had heart trouble
with it. I took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for about four
months and it cured me,
Kodol Digests What You Eat
and relieves the stomach of all nervous
strain and the heart of all pressure.

THE JOLLY FARMER.
When the farmer espied a little boy
industriously collecting applies from
the topmost branches of his best tree,
he stole back to the farmhouse and
took down a stuffed image of Pongo,
his greatly mourned sheepdog, from
the cupbord, and in a few minutes
the stuffed dog had been placed at
the foot of the tree.
The farmer then proceeded with the
business of the farm, and the men
wondered why every now and then he
chuckled to himself.
An hour went by and the farmer
was once more at the foot of the tree.
“Hullo, there!” he cried. What are
ye doing up my tree, eh?”
The boy was pale and quivering
with fright; but he had not altogether
lost his presence of mind.
“P-please, sir,” he shivered, “that
great big dog down there,” pointing
to the well preserved Pongo, “he
chased me, he did, all over your
meadow, an’ I had to climb this tree
to get out of his way!”’—Kansas City
Independent.

He Went to the Mead.
A school teacher of Bayonne re-
cently had occasion to talk to her
scholars about the different spellings
of the word ‘“to.” She explained with
great care the ways in which the word
could be spelled and the meaning of
it, as spelled in the different ways.
Finally, in order to find out if the
children had properly grasped the
idea, she decided to give a test.
“Now, children, as quickly as you
can, I want you to give me a ren-
tence with all three spellings con-
‘tained in it.”
Hardly were the words out of Ler
mouth before up went a hand. :
“Well, Isaac?” said the teacher, in-
terrogatively, and the boy, who was
the solitary Jewish child in the class,
answered glibly:
“Two dollars is too much to spend.”

Time All Taken Up.
“A friend of my youth, an Ohio
farmer, when he was about 24, made
his first visit to New York,” said
Thomas A. Edison. “He took a room
at a good hotel, and after he had un-
packed his gladstone bag he weuat to
the desk to inquire about the meals.
‘“ ‘What is the eatin’ hours in this
vere house?’ he said to the clerk.
“ ‘Breakfast,’ the clerk answered, ‘v
to 11; lunch, 11 to 3; dinner, 3 to 8;
supper, 8 to 12.

“So we are going to live in a cot-
tage, George?”
“Yes, my love—for the present.”
“And we must be very economical?
“Yes, dear.”
“What are we going to live onm,
George?”
“Bread and cheese and kisses.”
“What kind of cheese, George?”
“Limburger, my dear. I think that’s
the sort that lasts the longest.—Cleve-

a suburb that’s been under water ever

SEEK FOR THE WOMAN.
BY HARRY ELLARD.
When our lives are filled with trouble,
And our minds are growing weak,
And we wonder why our brains whirl
like a ball,
The great nightmare haunting o’er us,
When our restless cots we seek,
Is the woman at the bottom of it all.
When a man is thought as honest
By his many friends around.
From his place of faith and merit
" takes a fall,
The same old cause is given.
When his shortages are found,
There’s a woman at the bottom of it
all.
When a man turns out a scoundrel,
And a felon’s cell he fills,
To his ankles they have placed a chain
and ball.
In his moments of reflection,
He can see the many frills
Of the woman at the bottom of it all.
When a parson of the parish,
Whom all thought so good and true,
Seeks a path not very righteous in
his call,
Yea, verily, thou knowest,
Wher the matter’s sifted through.
That a woman’s at the bottom of it all.
When a happy home is broken,
And a wife is brought to grief
By the actions of her husband in his
fall,
When his bank account is lessened
"Tis not hard to guess the thief—
It’s the woman at the bottom of it all.
When at last a man is tired
Of the life that he has led,
With a suicidal death he ends it all.
Everybody tells the story
That is worn unto a threal—
There’s a woman at the bottom of it
all.
And so long the world is moving
In its path around the sun,
All the trouble that is found so great
or small,
Has but a sole beginning,
As our course through life is run—
"Tis the woman at the bottom of it all.

An Appropriate and Effective Book-
let on the Savings Habit.
The above is the title of a very in-
teresting booklet just issued by the
Pittsburgh Bank for Savings, of Pitts-
burgh, Pa. The booklet is one of the
best ever published for the purpose.
It contains a brief but surprisingly
complete biography of great ‘American
statesmen and kings of finance. It is
admirably illustrated with half-tone
portraits of characteristic scenes illus-
trating striking episodes in the lives of
variou¢ characters among whom are
Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln,
Andrew Carnegie, Stephen Girard,
John Wanamaker, James A, Garfield,
John D. Rockefeller and others. Fol-
lowing each biography is an apt quota-
tion appropriate to the matter preced-
ing. Typographically it is one of the
handsomest little booklets we have
seen for some time, and it will repay
our readers to send for a copy of the
same, which will be furnished free of
charge by the Pittsburgh Bank for
Savings, provided you mention this pa-
per, but not otherwise.
