RELIEF FOR MANY.
All Your Stomach Misery and lndlees-
ton Will Be Gone in Five
Minutes.

The question as TO how long you are
going to continue a sufferer from in
digestion and stomach trouble is mere
ly matter of how soon YOU begin tax
ing Diapepsin.
If your stomach is lacking in diges-
tive power, why not help the stomach
to do its work, not with drastic drugs
but reinforcement of digestive
agents. such as are naturally at work
in the stomach
People with weak stomachs should
eat Diapepsin after meals, and there
will be no more Indigestion, no feel
ing like a lump of lead in the stom-
ach, no heartburn, Sour risings, Gas
on Stomach or Belching of undigested
food. Headaches. Dizziness or Vomit-
ing, and besides. what YOU eat will
not ferment and poison your breath
with nauseous odors. All these symp-
toms resulting from a sour stomach
and dyspepsia are generally relieved
five minutes after eating one TRAN
guile of Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist aud get a 80 ct.
case of Pape's Diapepsin now, and YOU
will always go to the table with
hearty appetite and what you eat will
taste good, because your stomach and
intestines will be clean and fresh. and
you will know there are not going to
be any more bad nights and miserable
days for you. They freshen You and

LOAD Of WOOD RAN
AWAY AND KILLED
YOUNG HORSE
Strange Accident at Home Of
Edwin DEMO
SLEDS SLIP ON ICY GRADE
Struck Horse Belonging to Herbert
Stratton and Broke Two For
ward Legs.

Herbert Stratton, who lives in the
Chapel district, lost his young driv.
ing horse Friday in a peculiar acct
dent. Early in the afternoon as he
was driving by the home of Edwin
DEMO, near neighbor. he left his rig
standing in the road and started
toward the house to speak to Mr.
DEMO, who, with the assistance of
his hired man, was making up a load
of wood.
Part of the load, about threequart
ers of a cord. had been placed upon a
pair of bob sleds during the forenoon
and the two men were putting on the
last sticks as Mr.. Stratton started
toward the house.
The house is situated on a percep-
tible rise from the road and in order
TO keep the sleds from running down
the grade a stick of wood had been
placed under a forward runner.
The jar of loading the last stick of
wood in some way losened the block
under the front runner and the sleds
and their load started toward the
road. Mr.. DEMO and the hired man
grasped the tongue and attempted to
cramp the forward sled and thus
bring the load to u stand still but the
ice was slippery and they were
obliged to drop the tongue in order to
save themselves.
When the sleds started down the
grade they took a course directly
toward the horse and vehicle standing
in the highway Mr. DEMO called to
Stratton who was coming toward the
house, to go back and take the horse
out OF the path of the runaway load OF
wood but before the owner of the rig
could reach the road the sleds had
passed him. The tongue passed di
rectly under the horse and rushing
down the grade carried the animal
against a hitching post which was
broken off close to the ground When
ehe post gave way sleds and horse
were taken across the road. through
the fence and into a meadow below
the house. When the load came to a
stop it was found that both the
horses forward legs had been broken
and the animal was later killed to
put it out OF its misery.

it may be of interest to the theatre
goers of this city to know the real
story of how this comedy success Of
the century came to be written.
1t will be remembered that it was
Mr.. Forbes who wrote The Chorus
Lady in which Rose Stahl is now star
ring, and which contributed greatly
to her elevation among the leading
artists of this country.
One day while on the train coming
from Chicago where THE Chorus
Lady was playing, Mr. Forbes was
introduced to several gentlemen rep
resenting commercial houses, and one
of them said: Mr. Forbes, it seems to
me that it might be a good idea for
some playwright to write play deal,

was that several OF the democratic

When catarrh once fastens itself upon
the system it becomes an obstinate dis
ease to eradicate.
A systemic remedy-one that reaches
every internal organ of the body-is an
absolute necessity,
Peruna is just such remedy. 1t
searches out the cause of the disease,
healing and strengthening the mucous
membranes, and thus giving Nature an
opportunity to perform her part of the
restorative process.

found Peruna of value in treating old

est note OF baccalaureate orator at

and love OF power.
This may be said without indorsinE

demagogues and hypocrites. The pas
sion for money and the obsession OF
money-getting have become altogcth-

They bring little content to those who
are thus afflicted. and they awaken re
