"It has been five years since I was cured of heart trouble by your Heart Cure and Nerv ine, and I am just as sound as a dollar in that organ today. For several years I had been suffering with my heart. Breathing had become short and difficult at times, short, sharp pains about the heart, sometimes accompanied with fluttering would make me feel faint and languid. The least excite ment or mental worry would almost unnerve me. I felt that the trouble was growing worse all the time, and after trying many remedies prescribed by physicians without obtaining relief, I was induced to give your remedies a trial. I was relieved the second day, and after taking three or four bottles all symptoms were removed and have never showed signs of returning." Rev. Geo. W. Kiracope, Chincoteague, Va. There are many symptoms of heart disease, which so closely resemble those of more com mon nervous disorders as to frequently mis lead the attending physician. Often in cases of heart trouble the stomach, kidneys, liver or lungs become affected. Again the symptoms may be those of weakened nerves, as tired feeling, sleeplessness, timidity, the patient is easily excitable and. apt to worry without cause. If you have the least -suspicion that your heart is weak study your symptoms and begin the use of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, the great heart and blood tonic, without a day's delay.

If the citizens themselves show no interest and loyalty in their own town they can scarcely expect others from outside to enthuse over it. Local pride and patriotism have a whole pome influence upon visitors and encourage them to recognize the good points of a place. Every city and town is what its citizens make it. In other words, the people make the town. And they very often unmake It." txtt A most unusual turn was given in the Robeson county court some days ago. Judge R. B. Peebles was scheduled to hold court at Lumberton, but the lawyers Judge Peebles and the Lawyers. was that Judge Peebles was partial in bis rulings in the Haywood case in Kleigb, and that he is sometimes discourteous to the bar. Judge Peebles simply heard the motion docket at Lumberton and then adjourned court. Before he adjourned court, however, he made reference to the action of the members of the Lumberton bar, and said that be would in due time give the matter his attention. He will have the attorneys who agreed to con tinue their cases answer for contempt of court. The Cumberland county bar and the Northampton county bar have passed resolutions en dorsing Judge Peebles. i t t t Mb. I. E. Avery, city editor of the Charlotte Observer, died rather sud denly about ten days ago. He was one of the most pleasing writers on the A Last Tribute. tribute to the-violet was amongst the last things he ever wrote : "The violets again little wet violets, and there is the clean, sweet breath of spring.

Y. Webb, of Shelby ,that be dined a negro at the White Mr. Cleveland's Denial. wedding or signed a bill while Governor of New York for mixed schools. His letter to W. E. Aberhethey, of Chase City, Va., is as follows : "Princeton, N. J., March 27, W. E. Abernethey, Esq., "Dear Sir z My attention has been several times called to the state ments of Mr. Watson, to the effect -that Fred Douglas was invited to my wedding reception, and further, that while Goyernor I signed a bill pro viding for mixed schools. I have already written two or three letters denying these alleged statements, and do not propose to spend any more time deny ing statements bo absurd and emanating from so impossible a source. Each and every one of Mr. Watson's charges, f they can be so called,as they have been presented to me, is false. They are about as far from the truth asjthey can be, and they were made, I have no doubt, without the least reason to believe them to be true, and entirely in a spirit of which even Mr. Wat son ought to be ashamed. . "Yours very truly, "Gkoveb Cleveland." tut Under this heading the Biblical Recorder makes soma wise observations about party bolting. At this time when temperance sentiment is strong No Bolting. rance legislation we have had has been secured through the Democratic party. The Recorder says : "The Anti-Saloon League must not encourage bolting. If anybody bolts in the name of the League, it should repudiate them. The League strict ly pledges not to interfere with the fealty of citizens to their parties. It will find itself upon the rocks and all its fair prospects blighted, if any local organization proceeds to bolt or encourage bolting. "How then are we to bring our purposes to pass? By patient and steady work. Abide in the ship, and one day you will find the helm in good hands. There, are horses and horses. One horse will break awav with a snort and make half a mile in good time. Another will move off steadily and pull bis load thirty miles without faltering. This work of establishing a great moral reform will never be accomplished by the bolters. They set it back. In ten years, if we make no mistakes, we shall redeem North Carolina. "If a political machine cheats or suppresses the voice of the people, it should be overthrown. Under such circumstances revolutionary measures are justifiable. But do not bolt in the name of temperance. If you are a party man, go into your party primaries, work hard for your candidates ; and if you are honorably defeated, stand your ground, keep your faith and go on with the work of education. To bolt will only paralyze your influ ence and your cause." A GREAT SENSATION. There was a big sensation in . Lees ville, Ind., when W. H. Brown of that place, who was expected to die, bad his life saved by Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. He says : "I endur ed insufferable agonies from Asthma, but your New Discovery gave me im mediate relief and soon thereafter ef fected a complete cure."

The Ways in Which Health Hay be Found in Exercise, Correct Diet. Cloth ing and Habits. ;. Harm Done to Women and Children by Neglect of Ordinary Health Precautions. ICopyright, 1904, by Christine Teihune Herrick. G VERY one recognizes the power of diet in preserving health Diet is much, but it is not all It must be supplemented by a variety of other things Among the most important of these is regularity of habits. I once beard a man who had made much of himself physically, alter start ing with a very poor natural equipment, say that be attributed a great ilea! ot bis sound condition to the fixed periods) at which he took food. "I find it better," be said, "to break my fast at dinner time by a sandwich, when I cannot haye a full meal, than to wait for an hour or two for my regular dinner. The stomach is a creature of habit and if you take liberties with it you are bound to make it uncomfortable, soon er or later." Another man of similar experience said later, in my bearing, tbat there was nothing worse for one than irregu lar exercise. "These women who start out and walk seven miles in one afternoon and then take no more vig orous exercise for a week, do them selves more harm than good," be de clared. "The regularity more than the amount of the exercise, is what works benefit." Which leads to the necessity for ex ercise, and regular exercise at that. No one can afford to get along with out it. The man or woman who wishes to preserve health must not miss it, while the man or woman who desires to restore health must be even more assiduous. The women who allow themselves to become ran down must recuperate by other means than physic. Prominent among these stands rational exercise. it matters comparatively little what fcrm it lakes, so that it is rational and is pursued steadily. One more qualification it must possess. It should be taken, as much as possible, out of doors, or at leaat in the fresh air. This is one of the drawbacks to such games as ping-pong, excellent as tbey are in other respects. Tbey are played in doors, and usually in a closed room. Half as much time spent in the fresh air would be of twice as much value. Because of the growing appreciation of fresh air exetcise among physicians and students of hygiene everywhere I am glad to see the returning and in creasing interest in the bicycle, as tes tified to by public opinion and the ad vertising columns of the daily press and of other publications. Physicians tell us, that rightfully used, a wheel is one of the best friends of the grown or ungrown person who wishes to take out door exercise, because it not only gives play to the muscles of the body, hut furnishes to tbe rider the sense of doing something and getting some where. One of the discouraging features oi exercise for exercise' sake is tbat it must seem futile and dull to tbe busy woman or man who does everything else with some object in view. When a woman sweeps she is exercising, but she is also accomplishing something. When she goes out, unless she has an object for her walk she is generally bored by it. We read of English wo men walking three miles out on the turnpike and three miles in again in the laudable pursuit ot exercise, and we think with a superior thrill tbat an American . woman would find some CASTOR I A For Infimts and Children. Tts Kbd Yea Have Atoays Bosght Bears the Signature of more interesting way of winning to the same end. But when we hear of stout New York women who post so many times around the reservoir in Central Park in the endeavour to reduce their flesh, we wonder, if, after all, we are so much ahead of the Britons in enter prise and invention. When a woman is on a wheel it is a different thing- She is taking the air, she is exercising her muscles. But she is also getting somewhere to pay a call, to do an errand, to make the ac quaintance of a bit of road which had been too remote to explore on foot. A New England doctor has put himself on record by declaring that among the advantages ot the bicycle "it in terests people and keeps them out of doors, two very important factors in a healthy, happy life." Yet the woman makes a mistake if she takes a long run on ber wheel one day and allows it to gather dust, un used, thereafter for a week or ten days. If the is to derive full advantage from her cycling, she must make it an every day matter, weather permitting. Not the amount, but tbe regularity, let rce repeat again. By this I do not mean 'that the day's runs must always be of uniform length.- They may be extend ed or contracted as may seem advisable. But the unvarying habit of riding must be kept up and tbe body thus preserved in condition for work or play. The necessity lor regular exercise is winning attention more and morer The whole problem of proper bodily devel opment has of laie years received se rious consideration, both by the medi cal fraternity and the laity. The pop ularity of tbe various systemsof physi cal trainings is a good indication and many of these schools seem to have ac complished good. One of theso tbat appeals to one peculiarly .by1 reason of the unsnal breadth and value of i:s scope, Is the American Institute of Physical Culture. Tills is a Boston en terprise and is endorsed by men whose names stand for much in their respect ive lines. It is rather unusual in tbat tbe ethical side is made of paramount importance. Many women, young and old, would be materially benefitted in general health, pose of body, clearness of com plexion and keenness of mind by a course ot moderate physical training under a guidance which gives proper consideration to individual needs. It is this which is furnished by this Bos ton school, and by its Well arranged correspondence system tbe directors are able to keep in touch with their pu pils all over tbe country. These teach ers, too, insist upon regularity as 0 fundamental part of the physical train ing they direct. Similar regularity is essential so far as sleep is concerned for those who wish to keep their health. I do not mean by this that a fixed hour for re tiring must be immutable in the case oi adults, although it is a pity they can't submit themselves to some such standard. While tbe exigencies of li!e forbid this, they permit a reasonable amount of rule and precept concerning slumber. There are few women who cannot maintain a tolerably strict regi men so far as habits of sleep are con cerned. The mothers of little children must resign themselves to broken nights, but the majority ot wives and mothers, and still more tbe younger women, may have a fixed time for re tiring and adhere to this with some de gree of strictness. It is very well to allot "bix hours of sleep to a man, and seven to a woman.'and eight to a fool," as the old proverb runs, but tbe so called fool's allowance is none too much for the greater part of mankind and womankind. Besides this there are other health considerations to be borne in mind. Dress is among them. A well known physician in an English medical jour nal has written recently against tbe evil of tight lacing, and has laid to this much of woman's ill temper. The writer who is a woman, and evidently Rbeumacide is entirely vegetable, and instead of hurting the digestion, tones up the entire system. I CONGRESSMAN IVILBER SAYS To The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., of Columbus, 0. 44 Pe-ru-na is All You Claim For It." Congressman D. F. Wilber, of Oneonta, N. Y., writes: The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio,: Gentlemen" Persuaded by a Mend I have tried your remedy and I have almost fully recovered after the use of a few bottles. I am fully convinced that Peruna Is all you claim tor It, and I cheerfully recommend your medicine to all who are afflicted with catarrhal trouble. "David P. Wilber. Peruna a Preventive and Care for Colds. Mr. C. F. Given, Sussex, N. B., Vice President of "The Past-time Boating Club, " writes: " Whenever the cold weather seta in 1 have for years past been very sure to catch a severe cold which was hard to throw off, and which would leave after effects on my constitution the most of the winter. u Last winter I was advised to try Pernna, and within five days tho cold was broken up and in five days more I was a well man. I recommended it to several of my friends and all speak the highest praise for it. There Is nothing like Peruna for catarrhal afflictions. It Is well nigh Infallible as a cure, and 1 gladly endorse it."C. P. Olven. A Prominent Singer Saved From Loaa of Voice. Mr. Julian Weisslitz, 175 Seneca street, Buffalo, N. Y., is corresponding secre tary of The Sangerlust, of New York ; is the leading second bass of the Sanger lust, the largest German singing society ot 2Tew York and also the oldest. knows whereof she speaks, tells of the compressed organs, tbe restricted blood vessels, the hampered nerves, and de clares it is no wonder that the average woman is irritable and impatient. It is said that there never yet was a wo man who would confess to lacing tight ly, but in confidential conclave they will sometimes own tbat perhaps tbe laces are once in a while drawn more snugly than is altogether comfortable always by accident, of course I Those who confess to this will probably ac knowledge to pains in the legs and back that hinder their activity of mo tion and make any brisk movement, or even standing, painful All this should be abandoned by the woman wLo would keep well. She may wear a corset, but It should not only be of the right cut and be put on properly, but it should be worn loose enough to allow her freedom and avoid all danger of discomfort. Sometimes it seems as though a special Providence must watch over all women in general and young wo men in particular, tbat they are still aliye on the face of the esrtb. The foolish things tbey do, tbe risks tbey run are enough to drive a mere man to despair. See the girls who go out in sufficiently clad, who pride themselves on omitiing heavy flannels from their winter wardrobe, who neglect over shoes, a fleet thin soles and do a multi tude oi other Buch idiotic tbiogp. These envra alone should be enough to decimate their ranks, even if tbey did not eat things that are bad for them, rain their teeth and their stomachs with Eweets and indulge in a host of other ineane actions. After they have grown old enough to learn wiedom they may try to reform, but bv that time tbey have usually laid tha foun dation for ill health or at least impair ed their constitutions to such an ex tent that they are never quite well, eyen ii they do not enroll themselves among tbe invalids. Perhaps tbe women of the- ruing generation will grasp the l-ct tr.at tbey are not made of indceiructio e material and try to take caie of i hem- selves while they are still in fair condi tion. For those who hate co; e i hem- eel ves injury there Is still hope if they will but address themselves to the of repairing damages and prevents further harm.

O Been the Signature of i Tha Kind You Haw Biways uocgni A In 1899 The Sangerlust celebrated its fiftieth anniversary with a largo cele bration in New York City. The follow ing is his testimony : "About two years ago I caught a severe cold while traveling and which settled into catarrh of tha bronchial tubes, and so affected my voieo that I was obliged to cancel my engagement. In distress I was advised to try Peruna, and althongh I had never used a patent medicine before, I sent for a bottle. " Words but illy describe my surprise to find that within a few days I was greatly relieved, and within throe weeks I was entirely recovered. I am never without it now, and take an occasional doso when I feel run down." Julian Weisslitz.
