Pratt's Restaurant
Formerly Grinstead's
The Best the Market Affords
Served Our Patrons
Oysters in every style
Supper for Dances and Parties
Especially
IN FIVE MINUTES.

Take your sour stOmach-Or maybe
you call it indigestion, dyspepsia,
gastritis or catarrh Of stomach; 1t
doesn't matter-take your stomach
trouble right with you to your phar-
macist and ask him to open 6O-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and let you
eat one 22-grain Triangule and see II
within five minutes there is left any
trace of your stomach misery.
The correct name for your trouble
is food fermentation-food souripg;
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 aud fullness after eating,
vomiting, nausea, heartburn, gripgin
in bowels, tenderness in the pit of
stomach, bad taste in mouth, consti-
patton, pain in limbs, sleeplessness,
belching Of gas, biliousness, sick
headache, nervousness, dizziness and
many other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is fickle, and moth
ing tempts you, or you belch gas. or
II you feel bloated after eating, or
your food lies like a lump Of lead on
your stomach, you can make up your
mind that at the bottom of all this
there Is but one cause-fermentatio
of undigested food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is rs good
as any; that there is nothing really
wrong. Stop this fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear Of discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. 1t is merely . matter Of how
soon you take little Diapepsin.

til Z p. m., with the Bunnies, the
Chickens and Me. Margaret Old
land"

time. Old King Sol gave a royal

Easter Services.

1t was u white Easter. Ats a. M.
the Methodist church bell rang and
many who arose to attend early SER
vice were surprised to see that about
two inches of snow had fallen. At
$50 st. James church bell rang and
by that time there was snow storm
which continued for several hours.
The bad weather did not keep
those who could go from attending
church, hence both churches had
large congregations at every service.
AT THE M. Il. CHURCH.
The morning exercises ut this
church were entirely given over to
the children. A very interesting
kprogram, consisting Of songs, read
ings and class exercises, was care
fully planned and carried out In an
exceptionally successful manner.
In the evening An especially attrac-
tive musical service brought out u
crowded house. A choir of trained
voices, and two or three soloists, In
their clear rendition of the Easter
anthems, gave wonderfully beauti-
full Interpretation of the message of
the Resurrection. Rev. Willbanks
delivered short sermon on the be-
lief of pagans and ancient nations In
a Resurrection-the main idea rum
ming through his discourse being the
positive proof that as far back rs IA
BILE or NEUROLOGICAL history extends
all nations and people had firm and
abiding faith In a life after death,
and either endowed some Of their
heroic figures with the faculty Of re-
turning to life again after dissolution,
or with the power of eternal exis-
tence, either of which, Mr.. Willbanks
maintained, clearly substantiates his
declaration that they were not will
ing to admit Of everlasting oblivion
after passing out of their physical
existence.
AT ST. JAMES.
st. James church was beautifully
decorated for Easter. This artistic
work was done by Mrs. Dennis and
several members of the Guild. The
floral decorations Of the altar and
entire chancel were white and green.
There were many white lilies and
yards and yards OF beautiful smilax,
which were sent from California by
Mr.. and Mrs. lies. White carnations
6lled the altar vases, and sweet roses
and graceful twiners were artistically
placed. These were given to Mrs.
Dennis by an eastern lady as nem-
orial of Bishop Knight Many choice
plants were well arranged, and the
beautiful little church never looked
SO grand. The members Of the choir
wore white and the music was well
sung.
Rev. Mr.. Dennis had been called to
Maybell to officiate at the funeral of
Mrs. Mutt and arrived in Meeker
Saturday at midnight. Notwith-
standing this hard trip, Rev.
Dennis voice was In splendid con-
dition and no one lost word.
The sermon was appropriate and
listened to attentiveiy, for the rec
tors ability is we'll known and ap-
preciated.
Early communion was at o'clock
and large number were present.
At the 1920 service, the local menu
bers of the Knights Templar order,
in knightly uniform, attended and
added to the grande IT of the church.
The collection was very liberal.
The children's service was at 8
o'clock when the mite boxes were
opened and Mr.. Dennis was pleased
with the amount contained In them.
Each child was made happy by gifts
of beautiful Easter cards and colored
eggs.

F. w. Mallory and son, of Antlers,
yesterday purchased ten-acre tract
Of unimproved land lying near Ant
lers, from Louis Hoffmeister, of this
place. The purchase price of this
land was 1850, which would indi-
cate that land in that locality, and
especially unimproved land, has ia

years ago 1850 would have pur-
chased all the land In the Grand val
ley, with possibly team of Missouri

In the election held in Glenwood
last Tuesday, Mayor Drach WAS re-
elected by handsome majority.
This election will probably put the
Glenwood Light Company out OF
business, as the newly elected off,

trio lighting plant by the town at a
reasonable price or the granting of a
franchise to new company.

otter further amendment to the para

Upon motion of Mr.. Aldrich radium
was placed upon the free list. ~
An Opening for Aldrich. s..
Reversing the usual order of debate
Senator Nelson led an effort on the
paft of some Of the progressive Re-
pupleans for duty on sage flour,
Which is now on the free list. Their
purpose was to protect the potato in
4pstFies in their states and he de-
ciefed that sage -four comes into com.
petition with starch made from pota-
tons and from corn.
This attempt to revise the tariff
upward is not Justified" said Mr.. Al
drich, who added that it had been
shown that there was a combination
Ia the starch industry. .-
Whether there Is starch trust or
net do not know" said Mr.. Nelson,
who proceeded to tell of section of
Minnesota which was productive of
4ne potatoes and not productive of
much else. -a
Replying, Mr. Aldrich said If the
committee on finance had brought in
proposition to tax an article not
raised In this country to protect some
6rticle with which 1t comes in cona-
Petition it would have been denounced
a. an 1ndefensible position. s-@s..
The tide Of events was turned when
Senators Frye and Burrows, who
have starch Industries In their states,
met the objection Of Mr.. Aldrieh that
this article was used for food by
Offering an amendment placing tapi.
geo and sage -four on the free list
"when used for food,' so that when
used in competition with starch 1t
would pay q duty of 1 cent q pound
or of 20 per cent ad valorem. The
compromise was accepted by the
finance committee.
