HERE DUE TO INDIGESTION

There will be no more Belching of
Gas or Eructations of Indigested food,
or Heartburn, Sick Headache or feel
ing of vomiting and dizziness, and
your food will not ferment and poison
your breath with nauseous odors. Give
your Pharmacist so cents for case OF
Pape'a Diapepsin and rid yoursen OF
Indigestion and Stomach misery. do
it now. Ask to see the complete
formula printed on the case, then you
will understand why just few TRAN
gules of Diapepsin usually cure the
worst Dyspeptic and generally leave
enough around the house should other
members of the family eat something
which does not agree with them.
There is nothing else better to take
Gas from Stomach, and to cleanse and
freshen the stomach and intestlnes
and, besides, one Triangule will digest
and prepare for assimilation into the
way a sound, healthy stomach would
do 1t.
When Diapepsin works your stomach
rests-gets itself in order, cleans up
and then you feel like eating when you
come to the table.
A case of Diapepsin is worth more
than you pay to any man or woman
whose stomach is out of order. and you
will say SO too-yes. you will. Go
now and cure yourself, and afterwards
please tell other people Of the peculiar
and prompt way Diapepsin has OF d.

Iowa Falls April 22.--When it comes
to exempting from taxation the bonds
held by a national bank. the members
of the city council of Iowa Falls are
standpatters and they have fatty re-
fused to grant such an exemption. The
point was raised when the board OF
review which has just closed it's de-
liberations, came to the assessment OF
the First National bank of this city.
The bank gave in an assessment IN
which exemption was claimed on $b2,-
500 in government bonds held by the
bank. The assessor refused to accept
the assessment and the matter went
to the board for adjudication. The
exemption, which means difference In
the tax revenues to the city of about
$3.50, is claimed by the bank as have
other national banking institutions
over the state on a decision of several
cases in which state and savings banks
are exempted on their bond holdings.
1t is maintained by the officers OF the
national banks that they are entitled to
the same ruling and the case will go to
the highest tribunal for a settlement
of the question.

Hilary County Seat
COURT QUARTERS NOT SUITABLE
County Board Now Considering Com
plants, Which Are Likely to Bear
Fruit Unless More commodious and
Better Conveniences for the Business
of County Are Speedily Provided.
Special to Times-Republican.

Avoca, April 22.-Pottawattamie's
auxiliary county seat is likely to be
removed from Avoca. where this seat
of government has long been carried
on. unless the citizens of this place
provide more commodious and better
conveniences for the business of the
county which Is transacted mere. Inc
county board is considering the mat
ter and the complaints that have been
made are likely to bear fruit, unless
the matters complained of are speedily
corrected. Suitable quarters for hold
ing court and the better preservation
of the county records in that division
of the county are among the things
complained of.
The people of Oakland which is also
located in the east end of the county,
have been quite active in the matter
and it Is said are ready to give the
county all that is asked. With the
idea of bringing the matter to head
three members of the board were APP
pointed a committee to confer with
the people of Avoca with reference to
their willingness TO comply with the
requirements. :.
The matter has several times been
subject of talk at board meetings but
was recently called to their ATTENTION
by C. j. Hickman, of Des Moines the
accountant who was employed to GO
over the records of the office of the
district clerk, who reported that the
protection of public records from flre
was insufficient at Avoca, and that
their loss would cost the county heav-
lily.
So few counties enjoy the privilege
of two county seats, that the legisla-
| ture has not been called upon tc
adopt much legislation covering thell
management. The section in the code
was in the nature of a discovery, and
1t will be enforced in the future. whicf
! is why the people of Avoca are liable
/ to have the privilege taken from them

PortoRico'S
Christmas


Christmas for the Americans in Por-
to Rico is pretty much the same, so
far as the observance of the day is
concerned, as Christmas at home or
anywhere else.
The chief difference is in those char
acteristics of the season that are due
to or are Influenced by the weather,
which more nearly assemblies that Of
the Fourth of July than a winter holi-
day.
There is the same spirit of good
feeling, the same CHEEKY greeting, the
same happy experience for the little
people in the shape Of gifts from San
ia Claus and that same more or less
sincere determination on the part Of
their elders to forgive their enemies
which sometimes they do.
Among the natives Christmas day is
church holiday only. and it is very
generally observed by them as such,
but it is not the occasion of family re-
unions nor the day of gifts, as with
us.
The Porto Rican family gatherings
occur and their Santa Claus makes his
appearance on the 9th of January
"E,l dia de los Reyes" or the day Of
the kings" COMMUNICATING the bring
Ing of gifts to the infant Christ-but
Kriss Krinsle manifestly does not come
down the chimney for the very good
reason that there are no chimneys to
Porto Rican houses. and for equally
obvious reasons he does not bring his
reindeer nor hi, sleigh.
Instead of hanging up their stock
ingS the native children prepare a box
filled with grass to represent a manger
and place it outside their doors on the
night Of the 9Th of January, just as
the little Dutch children in Holland
put out their wooden shoes.
Christmas will always be a church
holiday to the natives, and Ell dia de
los Reyes will also probably always
be observed by them. But the Porto
Rican is quick to pick up American
