TOUCH' TEUTS !N STOMACHS & Food Allowances TOedfuced, and Star vation in Some Places Is Appar ent Take Revenge for Oppres--sive Treatment Bohemia. Washington. Amid the' many easy triumphs : which enabled the Teutons this year, to slice great sections from the map of Russia, like coupons from a bond, Germany and Austria both suf fered one frightful disappointment. And the pang was in the weakest part of their political anatomy the colleo tive stomach of their peoples. The grain of which thetwo kaisers expected to plunder the Ukraine was not there at least there was so little of it that Germany had to lower her bread ration, while Austria continued to starve a-bit more rapidly. The sup plies had been burned: These fires were lighted, with a kind of poetic justice, by the remnants of the Czecho-Slovak army deserters from the Austrian ranks and Invet erate enemies of the Hapsburgs, who had been reconstituted into Russian- military units under the Kerensky regime and fought se splendidly for Russia before the whole nation col lapsed from the gnawing of the bol sheviki. Fortunate for the Allies. Until March of this year this Czecho slovak army had been stationed in the Ukraine--50,000 men in line and 50,000 more in reserve. Then bolshevik rep resentatives dissolved their organiza tion and took away their arms, though about 20,000 .refused to part with their weapons. They were given promises that they would be allowed to leave Russia for ; the United States, but, of course, no! means of transportation were provided. And so they remained where they were. ' It was fortunate for the allies that they did. As soon as they realized that Germany's chief objective in Russia was the Ukrainian grain sup ply they began a systematic campaign of pillage ;and burning, in wjiich they were assisted by the peasants thejn eelves, aroused at the thought that the old landowners were to return un der German protection. The evidence that the Czecho-Slo-vaks were successful is incontestable. Count Czernin, Austro-Hungarlan prime minister until his little ex change of pleasantries with M. Clemenceau, placed the responsibility for the bare Ukrainian cupboard on the shoulders of the Czecho-Slovaks. German representatives In the Aus trian relchsrath repeated the charge in greater details. A Magyar deputy in the Hungarian parliament recently de clared that' the Czecho-Slovak army in Ukraine had burned or taken away everything of value. Had Their Revenge. Not only did they destroy what they could, but they fought bitterly to pre vent the Teutons taking what was left. Retiring and hampered by their lack of equipment, they stopped to meet the advancing Germans repeat edly in the field. Their last battle, one of those confused struggles which get little space In the cable reports, was fought near Bachmac, halfway between Reff and Kursk on the road to Moscow. After the fight, though the Czecho-Slovaks had been armed chiefly with axes, they themselves buried more than 300 Germans. Certainly in Ukraine the Czecho slovaks have had their revenge for three centuries of suffocation and oppression in Bohemia. But through out the war they have launched shat tering blows against their Austrian and German enemies and the whole idea of Mittel Europa. KEEP LOST MEN'S PHOTOS Navy Department Is Anxious to Per pctuate Memory ol En listed Men. Washington.Secretary Daniels Is anxious to preserve in the navy's rec ord photographs of all men of that branch who have lost their lives in the service.

The Sign $ Heart Failure No other important disease i 80 much misunderstood by the general run of folks as is heart failure. In the first place, people generally Imagine that heart failure is a sudden calamity coming unheralded out of a clear sky. People are like the fairy tale version of the ostrich; when dan ger threatens they refuse to see it. Heart failure Is always a very slow, Insidious process, taking years to de velop, as "a rule, and giving ample warning signals to the victiril, if he will only heed them. If a victim suc cumbs to any sudden effect of a failing heart it is not because he had no warning. It is because he preferred to play the part of his own doctor, or perhaps to let some persuasive drug manufacturer serve in that capacity. Neither palpitation, nor distress about the region of the heart, nor pain in the heart can be considered characteristic signs of approaching heart failure. We are speaking now of the common, everyday kind of heart disease which vies with apoplexy, Bright's disease,, cancer, pneumonia and tuberculosis in the vital statistics foment fotiot noticed by the patleat Less sound, sleep thany tile, patient formerly enjoyed. A more or less constant slight "bronchial trouble," with only a little nervous dough and no expectoration to speak of. Such symptoms are "meat" for the nataTit. medicine vender. His alcoholic tonic, his acetanilide - "Containing "nerve tablet," his narcotic-laden "cough remedy" "will make the patient forget, for a while, tbeA unpleasant symptoms. '": ' : With this type of heart failure, so gradual and unalarmtng in, onset, there is no "murmur,", no valvular leakage to be detected. " Indeed, no doctor can tell by merely listening to the heart whether it is nerfectly nor: mal. No longer is the ancient distinc tion between "organic" and "funcr , tional" a distinction; it is Just cainou- j flage or in other words a sorry effort! to conceal the doctor's knowledge or : lack of knowledge. All heart disease j is "functional" at first and it may, never cause more than mere "func- j tional" disturbance if the patient is in-1 telligent enough 10 consult his doctor i and follow hjs advice from the begin ning. A doctor must study his pa tient, observe the blood pressura, watch the behavior of the circulation under varying conditions, in order to know the real state of the heart.. THINK IT OVER.

The real warning symp toms of heart failure are not Buch as would lead the average layman to sus pect hifl heart. Rather they cause him to suspect his stomach, his liver, his nerves, Anything Jmt his heart. And right hre is where he makes his serious mistaKe. 11 is so easy to try a few bottles of some worthless nos trum which happens to be advertised insistently as a remedy for the stom ach, liver or nerves. Among the more frequent eerly signs noted in the histories of a large number of cases of heart disease are the following: A falling off in mental efficiency, as compared with the patient's previous standard. A loss of "pep" in physical eafoaeity rendering it more difficult than formerly for the patient to cope with moderate physical strains, al though not yet old enough to expect such loss of strength. A little breath- lessness on slight exertion, which was QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. X Not Very Progressive. W. C. Penn. We are contemplate ing locating one of our plant in X ," your state. Will you please tell me if it is considered a healthy town, if they have an active health department, any supervision over the milk supply, regular medical inspec tion of schools and if ypu consider it safe, from a health standpoint, to brings such an organization into North Carolina? Answer X is an excellent town in which to lfve and of course the plant ourht to be located there. But we re gret to say that the death rate from pre ventable diseases Is much higher than it ouffht to be. They have no organized health department. The only sign of a health department is the stub record showing a physician is paid a small sal ary as city physician, but who. makes his living in rrivate practice.

Answer: "Bad teeth are recognised as one of the gateways by which rheumatic infection gains entrance to the body. The rheumatism may not appear until years after the first decay of the teeth. So. that extracting the teeth will often fail to help the patient. The- thing to do is to visit the dentist often and prevent infection. O o o o BANK OF TRYON W. T. LINDSEY Pre , J. B.
