Eat Without Fear

Whatever You Eat VIII be Digested
Leaving Nothing to Ferment--Ef
You Win Take Little Dia-
pepsin

The question as to how long You are
going TO continue a sufferer from lndi-
gestion and Stomach trouble Is merely
d matter Of how soon you begin taking
Diapepsin.
II your stomach is lacking in diges-
tive power, why not help the stomach
TO do its work, not with drastic drugs
but a reinforcement OF digestive
agents, suck as arc naturally at work
in the stomach
People with weak S4omachs should
eat Diapepsin after meals, and there

like a lump Of lead in the stomach, nd
heartburn, Sour risings, Gas on the
Stomach OF Belching OF undigested food,
Headaches, Dizziness or Vomiting, and
besides, what you eat win not ferment
and poison your breath with nauseous
doors. All these symptoms resulting
from a sour stomach and dyspepsia are
generally relieved five minutes after
eating one Triangule Of Diapepsin.
Go TO your druggist and get 50-cent
case Of pape's Diapepsin now, and you
win always go TO the table with a
hearty appetite, and what you eat viii
taste good, because your stomach and
intestines will be clean and fresh, and
you win know there are not going 10 be
any more bad nights and miserable days
for You. They freshen You and make
you feel like life IS worth living.

Of Revenue Laws.

were returned here yesterday by the
federal grand jury against the Cudahy
Packing company Of Kansas City, Kan,
on 737 counts on charge Of defrauding

it the appearance Of butter, a l0-cent
revenue stamp must be attached.

the Cudahy Packing company has sold
the colored product under the quarter
Of a cent tax.
Government officials assert that the
Cudahy company has succeeded in mo-
nopolizing the oieomargerine market by
selling the colored product and paying
the tax on the basis Of uncolored.
District Attorney Bone will bring a
civil action in the federal court against
the company to have the plant and ma
chinery used in the manufacture Of cleo.
margarine coniiseated. The oleomarger
inc manufacturing plant is connected
with the Cudahy Packing establishment

Neighbors Of Little Jacob Cohen Left
Him to Die on The Roof.

New York, Aphil 1.-THE death Of
three-year-old Jacob Cohen, who was
found unconscious late Wednesday night
after 30 hours Of exposure on the ROOT
Of the six-story tenement al 1G5 suf-
folk street proved TO have been the ont.
come Of an unusually pathetic chain Of
incidents.
In the two ill-vontiIated, ccllar-liks
rear tenement rooms at 154 Ridge street
where the 10 members of the boys fam
lily live, his sister, Yetta Cohen, who is
20 years old said that the family's
poverty and other preoccupationa had
kept them from seeking the child very
diligently when he failed to come home
on Tuesday night.
The tenants Of the Suffolk street ten
ement, on the roof Of which the boy
was exposed throughout Wednesdays

of them had seen the child shivering and
crying on the roof IA hours before he
died, but they said they had been all
too deeply engrossed in their own cares
and too Indifferent as to "otlrer peoplesg
children even to take few steps and

Paterson, n. j., April ia delicate
and dangerous operation will doubtless
result in saving the life Of Bernard lad
degan, ST., who shot himself few days
ago at the home Of his son on Barclay
street The bullet entered the mans
temple on the left side, passed through
his head and fractured an area Of skull
an inch square on the right side, short
distance above the ear. The force Of the
bullet had been thus spent, and when It
hattened out against the skull it fell
back into the mans brain.
Al the hospital II was decided that 70
allow the bullet to remain there would
result fatally for the injured man; 40.
after consultation, the physicians de-
clded 10 operate. With skiifnl hands the
broken portion Of the skull was removed
and the bullet extracted from the brain
and the skdll was then trephined. The
doctors say this is rare operation but
as far as they have been able to OBJ
serve It was successful one in the case
OF Faddegan and they expect he win re.

Nine Members Of the Lower

FOLLOWS SUGAR SCANDAL
This Would Take Up the Task of In

Toxic. April ia tremendous SEN
sation developed here yesterday, with
the arrest Of nine members Of the lower
House Of the Diet, the nature Of the
chargs being withheld. It is believed
that bribery in connection with the re-
cent difficulties Of the Japan Sugar com
pany is alleged and there Is great unrest
in the capital, as it is stated that some
members Of the upper House are liable
to arrest also. few weeks ago charges
Of fraud were brought against certain
Of the directors Of the sugar company,
which is a big concern, capitalized at
Sl2,000,00O. The directors resigned and
an investigation Of the affairs Of the
company followed. A series Of question.
able transaction was disclosed and the
stock dropped from so to 80 points as a
result Of the exposure, large number
Of people, including many foreigners,
meeting financial ruin in the slump.
The affair started an outcry from the
press and the public which led to the
prosecution Of number Of the directors
involved. These men were all high in
commercial and political circles When
the nine members OF the lower House
were taken in custody yesterday the
charges against them were not made
public, owing to the connection of the
defendant directors with ponies. IL Is
generally believed that the investigation
of the sugar company resulted in the
exposure Of bribery in the Diet. Mem
bers arrested all belong to the Seyu-
Kai, the dominant party in both houses
OF the Diet. The arrests and the belief
that further arrests viii follow have
caused CONSERVATION in Toxic political
and commercial circles.
