CURES INDIGESTION
All Distress from Stomach and Ia
digestion Vanishes in Five
Minutes.

Take your sour stomach-or maybe
you call it Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas
tritis or Catarrh of Stomach; it doesn't
matter take your stomach trouble
right with you to your Pharmacist and
ask him to open 0cent case Of Pape's
Diapepsin and let you eat one 22-grain
Triangule and see if within five minutes
there is left any trace of your stomach
misery.
The correct name for your trouble is
Food Fermentation food souring; the
Digestive organs become weak, there is
lack of gastric juice; your food is only
half digested, and you become affected
with loss of appetite, pressure and
fullness after eating, vomiting, nausea,
heartburn, gripping in bowels, tender
ness in the pit of stomach, bad taste in
mouth, constipation, pain in limbs,
sleeplessness, belching of gas, bilious
ness, sick headache, nervousness,
dizziness and many other similar symp-
toms.
If your appetite is tickle, and moth
ing tempts you, or you belch gas or if
you feel bloated after eating, or your
food lies like lump of lead on your
stomach, you can make up your mind
that at the bottom of all this there is
but one cause fermentation of undi-
gested food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good
as any; that there is nothing real
ly wrong. Stop this fermentation
and begin eating what you want with
o 1T fear of discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. 1t is merely matter of how soon
you take little Diapepsin.

ago a good man laid down this rule, which has been true from the begin ming and which will remain true to the end: "The first quarrel that goes the length of any harsh or contemptuous language is an unfortunate epoch in married fife; for that the delicate fe- spectfulness being thus once broken down, the same kind of language much more easily comes aftefward. Thefe is a feeling of having less to Iove than be- fore"
 One of the finest couples know have quick tempers. From the first they real ized their weakness and saw the dari- ger. So they faced the problem candid ly. Thus 1t happened that when one grew angry the other remained silent. Once they grew angry at the same time and their efforts to control themselves, each for the sake of the other, were so grotesque that they laughed-and laughter is the best cure in the family medicine chest.
 Frequently one of the partners has more temper than the other; acute diff ferences follow, unless there Is wise management of resources; and right here is the opportunity to remember that "the highest exercise of charity IS charity toward the uncharitable''
 The very biggest mistake that mar ried persons make IS to think that their friends will help them in their troubles with each other. The man or woman who goes away from home for sympa- thy finds sorrow and brings back regret.

THE GIVE AND TAKE OF
 MARRIED LIFE Happiness Secured Only by Concession
By CHARLES DIVER

his wife after more than thirty years of comfort and content, and he wants to enlarge on his point and keep at it as a kind of antidote to the general out break of the literature of marital un- rest and divorce extravaganza.
 A Present-Day Evil
 It is one of the worst misrepresenta- tions of our times that the bad gets most of the space in current publicity. Very few of our people are criminals, and yet one criminal figures more in print and conversation than hundred honest men and women. Divorces are increasing at an alarming rate, and our divorce laws are national reproach, but for every divorce there are scores of husbands and wives whose domestic his- tory does not go beyond the threshold.
 In most of these there is happiness, but in many of them the counsel of our friend may be needed-and every where the insistent word should be spoken in type and pulpit against the tendency of the times to turn the mar riage relation into debate. A century

 You may wonder at this precaution, and as mean to tell you "the reason why" of everything, you may well ask why the two parts of the soup might not be mixed at once, and save you the trouble of an extra something to do at the last moment.
 The answer is not far to seek, and perhaps you have guessed already-be- cause I have told you to counteract the acid of tomato with soda-that the ac- ton of the acid in the milk might be to curd1e it. To avoid this trouble be sure that your milk has boiled, that the soda has permeated the entire tomato, and then do not hunt for trouble" by letting the two cook together.
 And now for some of our weekly food suggestions. It is our purpose each week to make this department one of all- round practical helpfulness, and as a housewife have always found new table suggestions the most valuable.

ness and common-sense They show the nature, the heart, the disposition. Bad manners are attributed to "a lack of fine perception which sees little things, a want of that delicate touch which handles them, and of that fine sympathy which superior moral organization all ways bestows."
 Be Pleasant
 Someone has said that, of the people we casually meet, we ask only that the sa1utation be pleasant This seems to be at the root of the entire matter of greet ing-to be pleasant. A bow is made in stinctively and promptly as soon as one meets the eye of an acquaintance, whether on the street or in room.
 When lowing, the head is inclined slightly. Even when persons know each other very well it. is not correct to ac- company bow with broad smile, but there may be "smile in the eyes," a beam of goodwill. which hghtens the countenance and prevents an impression of coldness. indifference or absent

He raises his hat when he is with a lady who bows to anyone, although such person may De a stranger to him; when he passes d man.whom he knows who is with ladies :; when he is with man who bows to d lady; when he is with lady and meets a man whom he knows.
 A Xan's Bow
 There are other small but important points about lowing which distinguish a well-bred man. He raises his hat when offering any civility to lady who is a stranger, when he apologies if by accident He has stepped on lady's dress in passing, sor has accidentally touched against herr when he passes her on a stairway, or when he ofers any small courtesy in a public conveyance.
 When he takes leave of a lady after speaking to her he lifts his hat. He removes his hat in a hotel elevator, or in hotel corridors, when ladies are pres ent He raises his hat when acirnoyp1-. edging any service done by man &o a lady whom he is escorting If d man is smoking cigar when meeting a 1adv who bows to him, he should remove bfS cigar when lowing; and If he wishes K speak to lady, he must throw it avIn

mindedness, the death blow to friendship.
 With such one can be only lenient and charitable and slow to take offense, re- me1nbering that the acquaintance may not be aware of her conduct. She may be self-centered and selfish, but, if she is valued as a friend, she may be asked why her manner is so variable, and this may bring her to a sense of her peculi- arities. But if she is not really a friend, it would be impossible to make any in quiry about her manner. Bow But Once
 When passing acquaintances several times, 1t is only necessary to bow at the first meeting, and 1t is not correct to mention the name of the person to whom one bows.
 Respect for Age
 A bow to an older or superior per- son should be respectful. If lowing to persons one knows slightly, the bow is slight; if lowing to those one knows well, the bow is more cordial.
 An important rule is that man must wait to be recognized by lady before he bows, but between friends the act of lowing is almost simultaneous

 Frequently I have been asked about the wording of the marriage service the same old questions that come 90 req :. u1arly to preachers and parents and edi- tors. No wording can possibly cover or |exaggeratc or affect the sacredness of this contract.
 No marriage service l have seen and l have read most of them-ex presses all that is involved in the cere-. mony.
 For instance, this might be added from one of our master writers: wo persons who have chosen each other sout of all the species, with q design to be each others mutual comfort and en- tertainment, have in that action bound themselves to be good-humored, affablc, discreet, forgiving, patient and joyful. with respect to each others frailties and perfections, to the end of their natural lives"

are no Jumps to be found, and then add to 1t few spoonfuls of the hot soup, mixing well until the flour and milk are gradually warmed; then pour the mixture into the kettle, stirring steadily as the soup thickens.
 Inhrewing the Seasoning.
 If the thickening is not put in just this way, 1t is very likely to harm the soup, for the flour, becoming suddenly heated, will lump, and not only spoil the smoothness, but fail to thicken, SO that more flour will be necessary. If in spite of 5care-and 1t will sometimes happen-the flour Jumps, strain once more and return to the stove. Add to the thickened soup tablespoonful of butter, well stirred in, a teaspoonful of salt, one-half saltspoonful of pepper and one-half saltspoonful.o celery salt.
 Some people prefer to use meat in pea soup, cooking ham bone with the peas for the sake of the flavor, and others use with the peas piece of salt pork, a scant quarter of a pound, in both cases emitting the butter. This, how ever, removes it from the list of vege- table purees to a heavier and richer soup.
