1t takes sunshine to produce a
rose, a perfect rose. And so man, to
be successful, must have sunshine in
side. The life which has it not,
which has no health and no happi-
ness, is sour, surly, pessrmistic, and a
failure. The world already has too
many vinegar faces that breathe ILL
will and strife. The world wants joy,
comfort sunshine, and will cling to
the man who has it. who radiates
gladness and triumph wherever he is
and under all circumstances.
Some people have genius for
seeking out the disagreeable, the
crooked the bad and the ugly. These
are the destroyers; they travel in
schools, they herd together for they
love their kind, and the cheerful part
of the world will have nothing to do
with them. .z

evenings meal, and five minutes later
your Stomach will do what a healthy
Stomach should-that is, turn every
bite you eat into bodily nourishment
and without your realizing that you
have Stomach. Each triangule will
digest 5000 grains of food without the
help of the stomach, because they con-
tain just the elements which a good,
strong, healthy stomach has. Pape's
Diapepsfn is a thoroughly tested pre-
scription for Indigestion and Stomach
trouble, which plainly tells on the case
the complete formula, and is as harm
less as candy and as pleasant to the
taste.
How promptly you find permanent
relief merely depends upon how soon
you make UP your mind to take Dia-

If you go now and get 50-cent case
you will feel fine a few minutes after

promise that your home will never be
