INDIGESTION Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years it has been supposed that
catarrh Of the Stomach caused Indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly tho
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves Of the stomach, thus caus-
Ing the glands to secrete mucin instead OF
the juices of natural digestion. This IL
called Catarrh of the Stomach.

''Sweet Peggy is a summer idyl. with love-

falls in love with a marvellous voice, not

Peggy, is charming, fresh and unconven-

peculiarities give touches of both humor
and pathos to this appealing story. Each

pirate music.

 The party is headed by Father Migon, who has been laboring among them for long time. These Indians belong to what is known as the La Pan tribe of Apaches and their move ment through Fl Paso will recall to the old settlers here some of the ancient history of these Indians.
 These Indians, about forty in num- Der, were originally a part of the band of blood thirsty Apaches headed by Geronimo, 1t will be remembered who was captured during the summer of 1886, by a part of the command then under General Nelson A. Miles, and was brought back through Fl Paso by Major Lawton, later General Lawton, who met his death in the Philippines. This bunch of Indians, however, had become detached from the original band while on one of the raids in Mexico and they located on a tract of land in the vicinity of Chi huahua, where they have been ekeing out a miserable existence ever since.
 Some time ago the Mexican govern ment took their lands away from them and since that time they have been living as paupers. When their lands were taken away Father Migon, in order to help them, took steps to have them transferred to the Apache at Mescalero, and their there now Is q result of his efforts Tn their behalf.
