Stomach Distress.

Every family here ought to keep
some Diapepsin in the house, as any
one of you may have an attack of
Indigestion CT Stomach trouble at
any time, day or night.
This harmless preparation will d.
gest nything you eat and overcome
sour stomach FIVE minutes after
wards.
If your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill
you, or lays like lump of lead in
your stomach, or if you have heart
burn. that is a sign of indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent
case Of Pape's Diapepsin and take
one triangule after supper tonight.
There will be no sour risings, no
belching of undigested food mixed
with acid, on stomach gas or heart
burn, fullness or heavy feeling in the
stomach, Nausea, Debilitating Head
aches, Dizziness or intestinal grip
ing. This will all go, and, beside
there will be no sour food left over
in the stomach to poison your breath
with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a certain cure
for all stomach misery, because it
will take hold of your food and
digest il just the same as If your
stomach wasn't there.
Actual, ;. prompt relief for all your
stomach misery is at your Pharmacist
waiting for you.
These large S0-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to cure a case
of Dyspepsia OF Indigestion.

A Happy Medium.

Getting right down TO brass tacks,
the city dads have done about the
best thing they could do 10 effect a
compromise Of the much agitated
question Of stock Law. They have
amended all ordinances relating TO
this subject 90 that cattle may run
at large in both East and West Hick-
man, but viii be impounded II found
at large in Old Hickman. In view
of the fact that most Of the opposi-
ton to a stock Law came from East
and West Hickman. II vas thought
a just measure TO allow them to pas
ture that part of town which objected
TO the stock Law. In cases OF high
water, as at present, stock coming
up into the business part of-the city
will not be molested-and We believe
this is exactly right. Here's hoping
that this will be the last Of this NUM-
cipal squabble and that all parties
will be pleased.
