MISERY IN STOMACH.
And Indigestion vanishes in Five
Minutes and You Feel Fine.

Why not start now today, and for
ever rid yourself of stomach trouble
and Indigestion? A dieted stomach gets
the blues and grumbles. Give it good
eat, then take Pape's Diapepsin to start
the digestive juices working. There
will be no dyspepsia or belching of gas
or quotations of undigested food; no
feeling like lump of lead in the
stomach or heartburn, sick headache and
dizziness, and your food will not fer
ment and poison your breath with
nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only so cents
for large case at any drug store here,
and will relieve the most obstinate case
of indigestion and upset stomach In five
minutes.
There is nothing else better to take
gas from stomach and cleanse the
stomach and intestines, and besides,
one triangle will digest and prepare for
assimilation into the blood all your food
the same as sound, healthy stomach
would do it.
When diapepsin works your stomach
rests-gets itself in order, cleans up
and then you feel like eating when you
come to the table, and what you eat will
you good.
Absolute relief from all stomach
misery is waiting for you as soon as you
decide to begin taking diapepsin.
Tell your druggist that you want
Pape's Diapepsin, because you want to
be thoroughly cured OF indigestion.

MAKE 1T YOURSELF.
Tells How Any One Can Prepare Sim
pie Homemade Mixture, Said
To Overcome Rheumatism.

There is so much rheumatism here in
our neighborhood now that the follow
ing advice will be highly appreciated
by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
ounce Compound Eargon, three ounces
Of Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake
these we'll in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime; also drink plenty of good
water.
1t is claimed that there are few vic
Tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief in
this simple homemade mixture, and in
most cases permanent cure is the
result.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues
of the kidneys so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system the
poisons, acids and waste matter, which
cause not only rheumatism, but numer-
Gus other diseases. Every man or wo-
man here who feels that their kidneys
are not healthy and active, or who suf-
fers from any urinary trouble whatever,
should not hesitate to make up this
mixture, az it is certain to do much
good, and may save you from much
misery and suffering after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take il
our readers ask them.

Musical Comedy.
From the London Times.


Musical comedy illustrates a tendency
never perhaps absent from the stage, but
more potent than ever today-the tendency
to produce pleasure through the personal
ity of the player rather than through the
creative imagination Of the playwright.
People go to Days or the Gaiety not to
see a STORY acted. mimic representa-.
ton of life, but to see certain set or
popular performers exhibiting their Ia
miliar charms.
This, to our mind, is perfectly leg1ti-
mate enjoyment, and Is In fact pursued
by the patrons of every kind OF stage
play. The triumph Of Shlvini. Of Sarah
Bernhardt, of Eleanor Duse. of Henry
Irying-to take a few conspicuous names
almost at random-were~ all triumphs OF
personality. People went to see the play
ers, not the play. Just In the same way
people do not go to 1.-THE Merry Widow
Or 1.-THE Dollar Princess or Our Miss
Gibbs for the plot Then. again. they
are seeking at these theaters an escape
from life, relief from the pressure Of real
ity-and the nonsensical tumble OF the
book" helps them to that. In fine. then, 1t
is not improbable that the coherent story.

les. would, If 1t were forthcoming. be the
death of the peculiar and quite genuine

Ostrich Farming in Australia.

From the Scientific American.
The first attempt to raise ostriches III
Australia was made by Mr.. Malcolm
who in 1880 brought 100 young birds from
South Africa to South Australia. In the
following year the parliament of South
Australia enacted a law which granted
to the first person who should exhibit $50
ostriches more than one year old about
200 acres of land suitable for ostrich
farming. The conditions were satisfied by
the South Australian Ostrich Company.
which was founded In 1885 with capital
of $4,000. The company received land
near Port Augusta, on Spencer bay, but
In spite OF this assistance the company
has never paid a dividend, although 1t
now possesses 1,1O0 ostriches. all OF which
were imported from South Africa. There
is a still larger ostrich farm on the snore
of Lake Albert and smaller farms are
scattered through the colony.
In New South Wales ostrich farming
was first attempted In 1897 by Barra-
cluff, who imported six pairs OF ostriehes
from northern Africa, and now possesses
eighty-four birds.
Queensland and Victoria possess only
small ostrich farms, which have not pro-
duced very encouraging results. In all
there are now about 1900 ostrtches in
Australia. The inferior feathers are used
at home and the more valuable ones are
exported, chiefly to Germany.

The Craving for Drink.

DIR. Alexander Lambert, in Success Magazine.
The causes and effects Of alcoholism
form a vast subject about which much
truth and many falsehoods have been
written. The falsehoods have done more
than a passing harm. for they have
caused in the minds of the ignorant a
disbelief in the truth, and the strict truth
displays a terrible picture. The use of
alcohol Is the most common and wide

Memory Tests.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Memory tests should be encouraged. A
local citizen OF excellent credit and some
renown was asked recently to name the
Vice President of the United States. He
hesitated and stammered. Finally he
said it was Sherman, but could remem-
Der neither the first name nor the initials
A few days ago twenty-four members Of
\ history class at Brown University were
given a test along similar lines, and the
result was quite astonishing. There were
six members of the class who couldn't
give the Presidents full name, and two
knew only his last name. Seven could
not name a justice of the Supreme Court,
and not one of the twenty-four could
give the full name of justice. Several
Of the students failed to recall the name
Of the Governor Of Rhode Island, and
were equally at fault when the name of
the mayor of Providence was asked.
In short, it was not what might be termed
a satisfactory showing. 1t indicated
that these seniors and juniors were either
careless and Indifferent readers, or that
they suffered from lack Of mental
training.

gested by the recent attempt to secure
