Starving Yourself Not Necessary to
Cure Dyspepsia.

Starving Yourself Not Necessary to
Cure Dyspepsia.
IF you have been eating a little too
much thiswinter and find that you are
now suffering from dyspepsia, indiges-
ton or constipation, you should begin
treating your stomach to good rest.
Going on diet is not giving your
stomach a rest. That is starving your
stomach, and you need all the good
strength which will come from good
food.
The one sure and safe course for you
to follow is to begin taking Myers Pa
pay-a Tablets.
These tablets will digest all the food
you may care to eat, and thus remove
the strain from the stomach You will
be getting the benefit of good, whole
some food without your stomach being
everburdened. Myers Pa-pay-a Tab
lets will give you a good, natural ap-
petite, put rich blood in your veins and
make you feel that life is worth living.
Don't imagine that Myers Pa-pay-a
Tablets are like ordinary dyspepsia tab
lets. They are not. Other dyspepsia
tablets are made from hog pepsin
which Is dirty and unhealthful, while
Myers Pa-pay-a Tablets are made from
the pure fruit Of the papaya tree and
are the only tablets which will act per-
fectly in an acid, alkaline or medium
condition of the stomach. Send your
name and address to the Myers Remedy
Co., Detroit, Mich, for free sample

teed by A. D. Thompson Drug Co., First

gave the millers two hours Of hard work YES
terday morning, but rain that afternoon pre-
vented outdoor practice SO the players talked
baseball for about two hours at the hotel. They
are all willing to work and no Sinking has
been noticeable
'Davy' Jones appeared in uniform Wedncs-
day morning for the first time and his ability as
a hrst-class hitter, as well as fielder, was demon
strated. He is at most in season form now.
Coulter arrived yesterday and Oyler and Chapel
are expected today. All the others are now here
Sievers and Newlin are both in excellent shape
Manager Watkins believes that three Or four Of
his young pitchers look just as good as Ford and
Thomas did lastceear, and they, with the other
twlrlers, lead him to predict pitching staff
much better than last seasons.
Manaer Watkins is still undecided whom he
will send to Peoria for contest on Saturday and
Sunday. <sn-... 20
Another nine will open the season next Satur-
day, when 1t will line up against the varsity in
the first Of twelve games. Sunday and Monday
this team will play at Decatur
The showing of the men is at present 80 per
cent better than last year at this time. The
players are stiff and sore but no serious injuries
Of any kind are reported thus far.
