In another way also tho heart Is oftectod
by tho form of poor digestion, which oauses,
gas. and fermentation from half-digested
food. Tbero is a feeling of oppression and
heaviness in the chest caused by pressure
of the distended stomach ,on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action, hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making It, thin and watsry, which Irritates
and weakens the hearf.
The roost sensible treatment for heart
troublo Is to Improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt asBlrolUtlon of food.
This can ne done by the regular use after
meals of some oafe, pleasant and effective
digestive preparation like Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets, which may bo- found at
most drug stores and which contain valu
able, harmless digestive elements In a
pleasant, convenient form.
It Is tafo to say that tho regular per

at meal time will cure any form, of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.

1

I ! - "
Popularity Should Not lie Supplied
- at Public Kapenae, Arcoritlnkr to'
Idea of Pamou Librarian. '
"Never buy a book of fiction for a publlo
library until It Is at least a year old."
Such was tho advlco which Herbert Putv
nam, .librarian of congress, gave to Mi&
Edith .Tobltt 'of .tho Omaha, public library
and several Iowa librarians at ,the msettng
oft.hq.lpwa State Library association hclfl
in BurHngtoaa anoft.tlme ago" ' (l(
Mr. Putnam was one of the chief speakers
nt tho association meeting. lie advised no
eirongiy against tno purcnasc or mouer.n
fiction' that many of bis' listeners who ar.?
In chargo ot large' public libraries, con
sulted him after he had finished speaking
nnd asked for n fuller expression of his
opinion concerning thn placo of rccopl
fiction in a library which is patronized by
persons of nil classes.
"Mr. Putnam urged that public libraries
should not attempt to keep up with recent
fiction," said Miss Tobltt In discussing thn
great librarian's opinion's. "Ho declared
that novels of the hour aro read only .for
pleasure and that 'It Is not 'tho province
of a public' library to amuse the public.
He ovon said, that person's In charge1 of
public libraries 'are making a sinful waste
of public money - when they attempt to
supply tho demand for Home book"whlch
has suddenly leaped into popularity.
' No Tax 'for Amuaemen'l
"In the opinion of Mr. Putnam, it. ix no
right to tax the public for anything which
has no higher purpose than to afford
amusement. He showed that library. tax
Is tho only tax which is ever devoted '(u
amusement purposes and contended that
such a diversion of funds Is unwarranted,
Parks and other public Improvements afford
pleasure, but their chief purpose ) to con
tribute to tho health and comfort of the
public Much current fiction, In Mr. Put
nam's Opinion, cannot be considered a
literature and Is Intended only for amuse
ment. 1
' "Wbllo ho was In c'hirge of the iloston
public library Mr. Putnam received 70?
books of Action annually for Inspection and
rarely ever admitted more than 17C of these
to the sholv'cs of tho library. It' would
hardly be possible for a western public
library to be as conservative fn the VUT
chaso of now fiction. Western psople are
very anxious to read all that Is new 'and
expect a public library lo supply" ' their
needs. This makes It . necessary, .to buy
many copies of' popular books. In some
rases theso aroused but little .nix mopths
after they areYpurbhascd'. 1
r "Mr. -Putnam urgDS that all Helton t,can
be facod to a ,fow of the 'great aaster
nlees. Ho .insists" that' ,wen a, library
pffe'rs itsvparons the great,, claealio' in
ficUoVlt Isnlolng all that cap be,;nxpected
and'.all.Jhaf'ia'deslrable, , .The puhlje has
po right, iln,hls,oplnloiT, to dpanditiooks
which ar?Vtiofad of. l,ho, hqur.,
"It vps,the opinion 'of ;many of tye'Iowa
librarians, that Mr. Putnam,' '.views -,T(ere
rather radical apd-jtht it .would root, be
W4II to go' to such extremes Jn Selflcilng
pooks for a large publlo library.'' 'Still. I
think that all persons who heard Mr. Put
nam wero convinced that publlo libraries
have catered ,too rouoh to readero of fic
tion." Marine Gnard to Go to Charleston.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. The marine
guard, which has rondered such conspicuous
service during 'the Pan-American exposition
