PUT AN END TO INDIGESTION
AND STOMACH DISTRESS NOW

Miserable indeed is the man or
woman whose digestive system is un-
strung-who goes TO the table and can
not eat, or what little is eaten seems
to fill them and lays like a lump of
lead in the stomach, refusing to digest.
If you, dear reader. suffer this way
and will put on your wraps now and
get from your Pharmacist 50-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and eat one
22-grain Triangule after your next
meal you would appreciate, five min
utes later. how long you suffered un-
necessarily.
There will be no more Indigestion
no misery in the stomach-no sour ris-
ings or Belching of cas-, no Heartburn.
Flatulency or Eructations of undi-
gested food and acid or feeling Of
Nausea, tuIlness, Headache or other
symptoms of weakened Stomach.
Stomach trouble and Indigestion
vanish like snow before the blazing

COED PLEADS FOR

at State. University

steps for the establishment at the Uni
versity. of California of a chapel in
which daily exercises Will be held for
the students were taken this evening
at the First Baptist church, corner of
Allston way and Oxford street. Miss
Italia de Jarnnette. one of six students
who spoke from the pulpit of the
church. warmly advocated such an in
stitution. She said:
Every large institution of learning
has place where its students may
meet for religious worship, and the
benefit derived from a daily chapel SER
Iyice in all these colleges is inestimahle
There is need for one at the University
of California, and we viii make every
effort in our power to enlist aid for its
esta blishment"
Z The services at the church this even
/ ing were the first of a series which will
be conducted by the college students as
part of the general campaign receEtly
instituted by the pastor, Rev. William
| Spencer. d. D., to reach the religious
side of the college public. The general
subject of the addresses of the fresh
man girls this evening was God as a
! Helper" The speakers were Misses
Italia de Jarnnette, Saidee Underwood,
Leah Wilson, Bessie Jones. Gwendolen
/ Underwood and Goldie Hubert.
| II is expected that the efforts to es-
tablish a chapel at the university will
meet with the general approval of the
churches of the city and q great portion
/ of the student body. Those who have
/ taken the matter in charge realize that,
owing to the state law, no official recog-
milton can be expected from the uni
versity authorities, and that the chapel,
should it be established. could not be
/ located upon the campus. The plan
probably will be put before the Chris
! tian association and other organiza tions
of the university Immediately.

TO USE LANDS ALONG
MERGED FOR FARMS
Health Officials Take Cognizance
of Spring Valley Action

The report that the Spring Valley
water company had leased a large nor
tion of its lands along the MERGED
watershed for farming purposes has
aroused considerable interest among
the members of the board of health.
The supply from Lake Merced is onIv
auxiliary, but in case of a mishap ia
the present supply it would have to be
used.
DR.. William OphuIs, president of the
board of health. said the farms would
not necessarily tend to pollute the
water He said:
The water, has already been de-
clared unfit by the board of health
and II would take a large amount OF
this natural filtration to purify it,"
DR.. Hassler, chief sanitary inspector
said
If the land irrigated were gravel
land il might have tendency To
Clarity ii. but the probability is that
the land has been fertilized, and in
that case it would be even more dan
gerous."

PASTOR RESIGNS
Rev. Walter E. Tanner Tells
= Church Members What He
Thinks of Them

=. OAKLAND, Feb. ls.-With a vigorous
castigation Of the methods OF the
churches, and special exeoriation of
conditions in his own parish Rev Wal
ter z. Tanner. pastor OF Nelrose Bap-
list church. presented his resignation
70 the congregation today. His earnest
remarks from the pulpit called forth a
warm discussion. which was ended by
fhe submitting Of the Ciergyman's
resignation TO the deacons of the
church They will return a report,
which viii be acted upon by the mem
-bers at a church meeting called for
~ ednesday evening
In his address 10 the cOngregatio
: this morning the pastor declared that
he believed that the resolutions adopted
*lsst August by the church, sustaining
him ia vigorous moral crusade which
he had conducted. had become hollow
and meaningless in view of criticism
since then. He felt that the pledge
then publicly made. arter a vote to
relieve him OF the pastorate had been
reconsidered in his favor, had not been
kept by the minority which opposed
) him.
AVERAGE CHURCH UNRELIABLE
Tanner told his congregation that he
had presented his resignation TO bring
The differences in the church to a
focus. He declared that the work of
reform in civic and moral lines which
he had started and had kept alive in
Melrose should be continued.
The average church is unreliable.
becau it does not take a stand and
- hold IL on moral and civic public is
sues said Tanner to his flock. The
twentieth century church should be
practical If IL hopes to attract men
TO it, there should be something real
IN its mission. We want a practical and
mot theoretical religion.
ESlnce my work began here / have
felt that this was the policy to pursue;
vastly more important il seems 10 me
than mere pastoral calling Though
intimidation has been exerted. and as
lSaElt by grating politicians and keep
crs Of dives has resulted, they have not
been able 10 curb me. I am proud OF
The enemies that l have made.
- CHURCH MEMBERS INACTIVE
But my great disappointment has
been that where one should have had
the' strongest support IN my own church
the history of civic affairs In this COM
munity shows that my church did. less
Than many persons who never enter q
church door.
The minority in this church last fall
pledged themselves to stand by me in
The work OF reform. The pledge has
failed Those resolutions. I feel, were
made merely TO square the church with
the public. internal dissensiOn has con-
tinued"
Among those who defended the pas
tors attitude in his recent reform cam
paign were J. J. Schultz. r. R. James
nd Miss Esther Bryant. r. B. Felton
and T. Thompson spoke against the

Changes in Mining Stocks
for the Past Week

There were only four business days
in stocks last week and they were un-
eventful. The sporadic excitement in
the Comstocks quieted down as the
week advanced, and the last day was
inactive The southern Nevadas were
quiet all the week with the exception
of two or three of the leaders, and
they were not especially active.
The net result of the week was lower
prices for the Comstocks and some of
the Goldfields, while the Tonopahs were
rather higher.
Following are the highest daily
quotations for the week:
