PEPSIM ALONE WILL DIGEST
400 GRAINS OF YOUR FOOD
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 sufferer of
Indigestion and Stomach trouble is
merely matter of how soon you
begin taking Diapepsin.
If your Stomach is lacking in di-
gestive power, why not help the
stomach to do its work, not with
drastic drugs, but a reinforcement
of digestive agents, such as are nat
urally at work in the stomach.
Scientific analysis shows that di-
gestion of food requires Pepsin, Nj
tro-genous ferments and the secre-
ton OF hydraulic 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 triangule of Dia-
pepsin, which is harmless and tastes
like candy, contains pure Aseptic
Pepsin, Diastase, Papin, Calcium
Carbonate, Tasteless Cascara, Gin
ger and other natural elements nee
essary to digestion, and when
placed at work in a weak stomach
and small intestines supply lust
what these organs are calling for.
These Triangles of Diapepsin
promptly stimulate the Gastric
glands, increasing even the worst
case of Indigestion in a little while.
only one grain of the pure pepsin
used has proven by test to digest
5000 grains of steak, eggs and 9TH
er foods. Diapepsin will give your
stomach rest; it will digest and pre-
pare your food for assimilation into
the blood the same as a sound.
healthy stomach would do 1t.
A case Of Papes Diapepsin costs
only so cents at any good phar-
macy, 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
or lead in the stomach. no heart
burn, Sour risings. Gas on Stomach
or Belching of undigested food.
headaches, Dizziness or Vomiting.
and. besides, what you eat will not
ierment ana poison your breath
with nauseous odors. All these
symptoms resulting from sour

GRAIN MARKET.

stomach and dyspepsia are gener-
ally relieved five minutes after eat
ing one Triangu1e 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
what you eat will taste good, be-
cause 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.

ALTAR BOY ON FIRE.
Stands Still in Blaze to Prevent Panic
in Church.

Chicago, March 20.-Rare prese ence
of mind of James Berney, an altar
boy of the Roman Catholic church
of Our Lady of Lourdes and the dis
cipline taught by sch ool fire drills pre-
vented fire panic and probable loss
of life in the crowded church.
Just before the service the lad, who
is IA years old, entered with his taper
and started to light the candles before
the altar. The lower candles were
lighted and then the upper ones were
set ablaze, and the lads work seemed
complete when one of the candles high
up on the altar went out.
Young Berney climbed up the mar
row stairway and just had succeeded
in lighting the troublesome candle
when his white surplice fiuttered di-
rectly into the flames of lower taper.
The lace immediately took fire and
several cries of ''fire," "fire,'' came
from the congregation. Realizing the
danger of melting a panic. as well as
of making a misstep, which might top
pie over many other blazing candles,
the boy stood perfectly still on the
steps, while the surplice blazed itself
out. Several men ran forward and ex-
tinguished the dying flames and car
ried the lad down. The whole con-
gregation after the first cry of fire, y
seemed hypnotized by the boys quiet
immobility and panic with con-
sequent rush for the doors was averted.
When taken intosthe yestry rooms 1t
was found that. Berney had escaped
burns almost miraculously.

SCHOOL CHILDREN FIGHT
A Richland Row Gets in the City
Court.

A school board, fight from Rich
land will be aired in the court of To-
peka soon. The Gress family and the
Benander family of Rfchland are at
outs, owing to the election of mem
Der of the Richland school board.
Both Gress and Benander were can
didates for the same job, and
Benander got it. This occurred
some time ago. Recently, the
Benander and Gress children, half a
dozen on the side have tried to settle
the controversy in the primitive way,
by force of arms. Having no Hague
handy, they landed on each other
with clubs ct cetera, at frequent in
terva1s. Yesterday Edith Gress, so
reads the complaint, landed on Maud
Benander with a club. putting her out
of business. Up to this time the
families kept the row in their midst,
but now the Benander family feels
that it has the hooks on the Gress
family, and desired to call in the court
as mediator

BALL PLAYERS DRIFTING IN.
Runkel Has Been Delayed for Few
Days.

The players on Cooley's 1908 baseball
team are beginning to drift in. The
biggest addition to the local squad SO
far is the appearance of Fred Jarrett,
the big pitcher who comes from the
Sioux City team. He is husky looking
player and the advance dope which
had been handed out concerning him
seems to have been about right judging
from his looks. Coins, who halls from
Fairview and is trying out for second
base arrived in Topeka last night. Kahl
is expected in from Kansas City at any
time today. A letter was received from
Louis Runkel this morning which
states that the popular third haseman
may be a day or two late on account
of pressing business. However, it is
expected that he will be here in time
to appear in Sundays game Wooley
who arrived yesterday was out in a
suit for the first time this afternoon.
Most of the other players are expected
in tonight or tomorrow morning. Pol
lard left Evansville, Ind, late Wed
nesday night and should arrive here
tonight. By tomorrow it is expected
that the entire squad of new men with
the exceptions of Catcher Moore and
Steve Ragan will have reported. These
two will not report until the middle of
April. Ragan wishes to remain in the
Kansas City Medical school until the
close of school but will play here Sun
days In the meantime he will work
out with Monte Cross pilltossers in
Kansas City. Moore is teaching school
in st. Johns and will report April 15.

ter office pledged to specific reforms
named in the platform, while the Re
publican party will ask the public to
trust 1t to carry out such reforms as
may be outlined after the election. In
the one case the people know what to
expect; in the other case they are left
in uncertainty. But this is not the
worst OF 1t; a Republican president
will have no straightforward platform
declaration with which to draw Re-
publican legislators up to specific re-
form, while Democrat president will
have a platform which will commit
those elected with him to ascertain
clearly defined measures.
Roosevelt's Troubles.
President Roosevelt's trouble has
been that his platform promised moth
ing and with all his great energy he
has not been able to secure any sub
stantial reforms. The Democrats have
the advantage also in that they maze
a distinction between the natural man
and the fictitious person called a cor
poration They recognize that man
was placed on earth to carry out a di-
vine decree, while the corporation was
created to make money, and this differ
ence in the purposes of creation neces-
sitates a difference in the treatment
of the two. The Republicans on the
other hand have confused the natural
man and the corporations and have
given to the corporation all the rights
of the natural man. beside the special
rights given the corporation by law
The difference between the Democrat
position and the Republican position
can be illustrated by reference to the
position taken by three prominent Re-
publicans.
Take the presidents position on ma
tional interpretations. He favors the
Incorporation of railways and inter-
state commerce corporations by the
federal government and by so doing he
ignores the right of the state to regu-
late corporations doing business with
in the state. The Democrats believes
that 1t is better for the corporation to
suffer such annoyance as may be oc-
casioned by state legislation rather
than that the individual shall be de-
MED the protection that comes from
state legislation"
Mr.. Bryan set forth the attitude of
Governor Hughes and Secretary Taft
toward corporations, and continued:
81 have taken the three Republicans
who have been mentioned most in con-
nection with the presidency. I have not
| included Senator LaFOllette who is

, do not mention him because outside OF
| his own state he does not seem to have
any influential support for the nomi-
nation and in his own state he has had
a ten years fight against corporate in
! fiuences.
President Roosevelt is the leader o1
| the reform sentiment in the Republican
party and yet he favors national incor-
poration. Secretary Taft is the presi-
dents chosen candidate for the Re.
publican nomination and behold how
biased he is in favor of the corpora
| t1ons as against the public. Governor
Hughes, who is sometimes put in the
class of reformers, although the cho-
sen representative of the reactionary
element-spends more time warning the
public against injustice to stockholders
than in devising remedies which will
insure the public against exploitation

ROBBERS WERE QUICK.
Grabbed 5000 of Banks Money and
Fled.

Muskogee, Okla, March 2O-Two
bandits, believed to be members of
the band that held up the bank of
Tyro, Kan, last week, walked into the
Davis bank at Hoffman, thirty miles
southwest of here, covered the bank
officials with pistols and gathering up
$500 in currency, mounted their
horses which were standing outside
and esca ped.
So quiet and sudden were their
movements that the robbers secured
a good start before a posse was
formed to pursue them. The two men
headed into the dense country SOUTH
east of here and no trace of them
has been found.
Vice President L e. Davis and
Cashier w. B. Davis, were the only
persons in the bank when the robbers
entered.
The Tyro robbers were last trailed
to a point forty miles north of Hoff-
man.

THEIR HOME GONE.
A Number of Old People Join in a
Suicide Pact.

Chicago. March 20-A suicide pact
involving probably a dozen inmates of
Bethesda Home for the Aged is believed
to have been revealed by the death of
John Koch, who died yesterday by his
own hand after ridicu1ing John Hasel-

destruction. The supposed motive for
the deed is bankruptcy of the home. a
private institution into which many OF
