DIGESTIVE JUICE.
Gets Weak and Scarce, Causing Your
Indigestion and Stomach
Misery.
ALL YsPEPsIA WILL GO

An Absolute and Safe Cure Will He
Found in the Use of Diapepsin, which
COrrects stomach Disorders
and Digestion.
If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach Or lies like a lump of
lead, refusing to digest, Or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested
food or have a feeling of dizziness,
heartburn, fullness, nausea, bad taste
in mouth and stomach headache-this
il, indigestion.
A full case of Pape's Diapepsin costs
only so cents and will thoroughly cure
the worst case of dyspepsia and leave
sufficient about the house in case some
one else in the family may suffer from
stomach trouble or indigestion.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula plainly printed on these
so cent cases, then you will under
stand why dyspeptic trouble of all
kinds must go, and why they usually
relieve sour stomach or indigestion
in five minutes. Get case now and
eat one Triangule after your next
meal. They are harmless and taste
like candy, though each contains pow
er sufficient to digest and prepare for
assimilation into the blood all the
food you eat; besides, it makes you
go to the table with hearty, healthy
appetite; but, what will please you
most is that you will feel that your
stomach and inteStineS are clean and
fresh, and you will not need to resort
to laXatives or liver pills for bilious
ress or constipation.

Cured by Funny Stories.

Having vainly tried many and
various remedies to restore to health
a business man whom / know and
who had fallen into morbid con-
dition owing to years of overwork,
a famous Baltimore physician at
last persuaded his patient to take
a course of funny stories, one at
each meal, with an extra two at
dinner. The patient, solemn and
gloomy fellow, at first rebelled, but,
finally falling in With the idea,
adopted the course recommended
and was in the end restored to
health, the effect of laughter being
entirely to change his mental and
bodily condition.
Laughter, in fact, is one of the
cheapest and most effective Of med
icines, breaking up stagnation of
mind and body and sending a
healthy vibration through ones sys-
tenn. There is very little the mat
ter with the man who can enjoy a
hearty laugh. - Nashville Tennes-

A WARNING.
The Utter Useiessness of Taking a
Course In German,

A customer during trying on
asked her dressmaker, whose son
was at college, if he were pursuing
general course or specializing in
any particular branch. The answer
came promptly, through mouthful
of pins;
"Sanskrit, ma'am. He's specialize
ing in Sanskrit. l can't say but I'd
have preferred something bit
more usual in the way of education
something more plain tailor made
for every day like. Sanskrit's such
fussy study"
Her criticism, if oddly worded,
was comprehensive and not unin-
telligent. Less reasonable and equal
ly unexpected were the remarks of
an old farmer in a remote hill vii
lage upon the favorite studies of his
son. He had always been suspicious
of the higher education and was far
from pleased when his Joe, whom
he wished to keep on the farm, OBJ
tanned a scholarship.

parts" he declared recently, with
impressive elaboration, "but man
