There is something incomplete about the story that Sir Mbntagu Norman has pledged the, British treasurys equalization fund for stab- ilizing the currencies of other coun- tries without consulting the treas- ury.

The thought then is that an ex- amination of the heart by your phy- sician will reveal that you have heart trouble or you haven't.

If you have heart trouble your physician can outline a course of treatment and a safe method of living. If you have no heart trouble it is worth while knowing it.

The above query from the Montague horseman calls to mind the fact that it was decided several years ago by the National Associa- tion of Trotting Horse Breeders that the place of breeding of any animal of the horse kind is the locality where the dam is mated vith the sire. This conclusion was reached after mature deliberation and con- siderable discussion, as stated to the writer several years since by the late Wm.
