Tells why there is nothing so
good as Diapepsin to cure
Indigestion and sour
disordered Stomach.

The question as to how long you
are going to continue a sufferer of
Indigestion and Stomach trouble is
merely a matter of how soon you be-
gin taking Diapepsin.
If your Stomach is lacking In
digestive power, why not help the
stomach to do its work. not with
drastic drugs. but a reinforcement
Of digestive agents, such as are ma
turally at work in the stomach.
Scientific analysis shows that diges-
ton of food requires Pepsin, Nitro
genous ferments and the secretion of
hydro chloric acid.
When your food fails TO digest it IS
proof positive that some of these
agents are woefully lacking in your
digestive apparatus.
Each 22-grain triangular Of Diapep-
sin, which is harmless and tastes like
candy, contains pure Aseptic Pepsin,
Diastase, Papain, Calcium Carbonate,
Tasteless Cascara, Ginger and other
natural elements necessary to diges-
sion, and when placed at work in a
weak stomach and small intestines
supply just what these organs are
calling for. These Triangules OF
Diapepsin promptly stimulate the
Gastric glands. increasing the diges-

AT the Olynlpic.

The Olympic this week has one of
the strongest bills which has been
seen at this theater in some time. All
the acts are entertaining ones and
ought to draw good houses during the
week.
The leading act is that of the Mu-
steal Brennans, who play on all sort
of musical instruments. Cow bells
and sleighbells feature In their act. al
though both Mr.. and Mrs. Brennan
play some interesting selections on
banjos. A xylophone duet is their
best number. The act, while in the
main is a musical one, Is interspersed
with comedy in the proper propor-
lions. l. T. Johnston, who Is really
about as good a ventriloquist as has
been seen in Topeka this season de-
lights the audiences with some Of his
ventriloQuistic acts and clever imita-
lions. Jacobs and Sardell, two aero
batic jumping comiques have good
turn and in jumping in and out of
barrels with their eyes blindfolded
win much applause from the au-
dience. Frank Beach, Dutch COM
edian, opens the bill and is a
great entertainer.
Frank Marshall sings for his song

THE PEPS|N ALONE WILL DIGEST
5000 GRAINS OF FOOD FOR YOU.

tive Juices, overcoming even the
worst case Of Indigestion in a little
while. Only one grain of the pure
pepsin used has proven by test to di-
gest 5000 grains OF steak, eggs and
other foods. Diapepsin will give your
stomach rest; it will digest and pre-
pare your food for assimilation into
the blood the same as sound,
healthy stomach would do it.
A case of Pape's Diapepsin costs
only so cents at any good pharmacy,
and is sufficient to give relief to old
chronic sufferers, and leave some for
others of the family who occasionally
eat something which does not agree
with them.
People with weak Stomachs should
eat one Triangule after meals, and
there will be no more Indigestion, no
feeling like a lump of lead in the
stomach, no heartburn, Sour risings,
Gas on Stomach or Belching Of I'M
digested food, Headaches, Dizziness
or Vomiting, and. besides, what you
eat will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseouS odors. All these
symptoms resulting from a sour
stomach and dyspepsia are generally
relieved five minutes after eating one
Triangule of Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist and get a So
cent case, and you will always go to
the table with a hearty appetite, and
your stomach and intestines will be
clean and fresh, and you will know
there is not going to be any more
bad nights and miserable days for
you. They freshen you and make
you feel like life is worth living.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-03-02

A good many people get mad when
you tell them they've got dyspepsia, but
way down deep in their stomachs they
know they've got 1t.
I'D love to eat 1t, but I can't" is
one kind of dyspepsia
IT hate to think of it, is another
kind. There are thousands of people
today who hate their meals, and love
them at the same time. They haven't
that fine empty-hungry eat-everything-
insight kind of feeling which goes with
every good strong healthy stomach
That's because they have dyspepsia.
And then there are others whose
mouths don't water at meal time or
any other time. They sit at the table
and go through the motions, only be-
cause it's time to eat. These people,
too, are dyspeptics.
Every possible kind of stomach trou-
BILE can be cured by taking something
which will just take right hold of all
the food in your stomach and digest it
alone without help of the stomach, and
let the stomach take rest.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this
very thing. They are composed of the
best digestive known to science, and are
absolutely safe. One ingredient alone
of one Of these tablets will digest 5000
grains of food, These tablets do ex-
actly the work that good strong

birds in the collection, birds from
Africa, South America, Florida and
from number of other localities. In
color they are as variegated as the
rainbow. There are macaws and par
rots with plumage of vivid brilliancy,
mellow throated nightingales, paro-
quets, cockatoos and the gorgeous
hued birds of paradise. And the birds
are quite as brilliant in performing
tricks as they are in colors. Among
them are trapeze performers, equili-
brists, aerial artists. clowns, acrobats
and ball players. In fact they do
about every stunt in their own way
that human vaudeville performers are
wont to earn a living at. They ar.
certainly wonderful lot of enter
tanners and it is most surprising the
great variety of tricks that they per-
form.
But the birds are by no means the
whole show at the Novelty for this
week. There are three other acts
which are particularly good in their
line. Especially entertaining Is the
dramatic sketch, "a Thing of the
Past" which Is presented by AL Lut-
tringer. Lillian Lucas & Co. 1t is a
cleverly worked out little piece which
has for its setting a nook in the Far
West and Miss Lucas does some act
ing that is most admirable. In fact
few women have been seen in vaude-
vine III 1Opchd WHO are III n0T CLASS dS
an actress, nor have there been many
who have been quite so good to look
at. She is bound to win for herself
warm place in the affections Of To-
peka theater-goers.
Then there is the Cox Family of
five. comprising the father, three
daughters and a son, the children
ranging in years from twelve up to
seventeen and they are good singers.
One of the girls has an unusual voic.
in that it most nearly approaches
high baritone. Another of the girls
Is a graceful dancer, and the four of
the youngsters in their Quartette sing
ing made big hit at the perform
ances yesterday The other act is
presented by Sherman and Fuller,
comedy acrobats, and their work is
especially good.
For the illustrated songs Mr.. Irwin
sings There's Boy for Every Girl in
the World, and a. Girl for Every

the Sheep Are in the Fold Two Sc
ries Of good moving pictures are
shown, one of them depicting a water
carnival in England being especially
interesting.
An evidence that Mr.. Wells, the
manager of the Novelty, is always in
clined to do the right thing by his pa
irons occurred yesterday. Miss Nay
non and her birds did not arrive in
time for the afternoon performance.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Union Men Working Among
Santa Fe Apprentices.
Making Effort to Re-establish
Old Standing With Road.
NOT VERY SUCCESSFUL
So Far Their Plans Have Been
Frustrated by Officials.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.
1OT VERY SUCCESSFUL

Santa Fe officials believe that they
have unearthed another plan to union
ize the men in the different shops Since
the boilermakers' strike of three or four
years ago, the Santa F'e has employed
nonunion men exclusively in their shops.
They have also developed the bonus
system by which men are paid bonus
for extra work.
The union men who are still out on
the strike however have made repeated
efforts to reinstate the unions in the
shops. Their latest move is said to be
to work among the apprentices in the
apprentice school which the Santa Fe
has started within the past year.
The apprentices, under the new ar
rangement Of the school, are given four
years free instruction by the Santa Fe
and are paid well for their time. At
the expiration of their time they are
given preferred positions with the San
ia Fe.
During the past few weeks many of
the apprentices who have completed
their time have been approached by
some of the strikers on the subject of
unionism and in some instances the
apprentices have Joined the unions. 1t
is believed that the union men are try
ism secretly and to keep their plans
under cover until they have large
number of full fiedged machinists and
boilermakers in the shops, after which
time they believe the Santa Fe will be
forced to recognize the union.
Failing in this. the plan OF the unions
seem to be to induce the employe to
leave the service Of the Santa Fe and
enter union shop on some other road.
There have been a couple Of cases of
expulsion reported among the appren-
tices on account Of their succumbing to
the entreaties of the union men. How
ever the officials, although they admit
that the unions have been causing them
a good deal Of trouble, refuse to talk
much on the matter.
One Santa Fe official in talking of
the matter with a State Journal re-
porter admitted that there was some
sort of a move On foot by which the
unions were planning trouble for the
apprentice school However" he said,
ANY apprentice who will listen to the
union men is making the mistake Of his
life. AS soon as he is found out he
will be expelled by the Santa Fe and
no matter If he only lacks one week of
finishing his time, he will be given no
credit by the Santa Fe and should he
ever want to be machinist he would

HAMILTON IS DEAD.
His Name Was Prominent in Connec-

Albany, March 2.-Andrew Hamil-

of insurance litigation and legislative
matters in all parts Of this country

this morning at his home in this city.
He was about the city yesterday af-
ternoon and last night apparently in
normal health, and his death was en-
tirely unexpected, although he has
been falling to some extent ever since
the death of Mrs. Hamilton last
July
An autopsy this afternoon disclosed
an acute dilation Of the heart which
must have caused practically in
Simultaneous death at some time dur

OLD SURGEON
Found Coffee Caused Hands to
Tremble.

The surgeons duties require a clear
judgment and a steady hand. A slip
or an unn ecessary incision may do ir-
reparable damage to the patient
When he found that coffee drinking
caused his hands to tremble. an Ills
surgeon conscientiously gave it up and
this is his story.
For years was coffee drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down, my hands trembled so 1
could hardly write, and insomnia tor
tured me at night.
Besides, how could I safely per-
form operations with unsteady hands,
using knives and instruments Of pre-
cision? When I saw plainly the bad
effects of coffee, I decided to stop it,
Postum, of which I had received a
sample.
''The first cupful surprised me. 1t
was mild, soothing delicious. At this
time I gave some Postum to a friend
who was in a similar condition to
mine, from the use of coffee.
"a few days after, I met him and
he was full of praise for Postum de-
claring he would never return to cof-
fee but stick to Postum. We then or
dered a full supply and within a short
time my nervousness and consequent
trembling, as well as insomnia disap-
peared, blood circulation became nor
NAL. no dizziness nor heat flashes.
"My friend became a Postum en-
thusiast, his whole family using. it ex-
clusively.
cit would be the fault of the one
who brewed the Postum, If it did not
taste good when served.
''The best food may be spoiled Il
not properly made. Postum should be
boiled according to directions on the
pkg. Then 1t is all right, anyone car
rely on it. 1t ought to become the ma.

have to start at the bottom and work
from the ground up again. AS soon as
the boys have finished their time with
the Santa F'e they are given good posi-
lions with as good pay as they can re-
ceive in any railway shops.
Right now 1t seems particularly fool
ish for an apprentice to Join the union.
Most Of the shops in the country are
partially shutting down and letting out
men An inexperienced apprentice
would stand but very poor show to
secure position under the present con-
ditions. With the Santa Fe the appren-
tfce is in a different position. He has
been trained in the way the Santa Fe
wants him to work and Is therefore a
preferred employee The machfnists,
boiler1nakers and other metal workers,
who have been made by the Santa F'e,
will be taken care Of when it is neces-
sary to turn Off every other employe."
