CURES INDIGESTION.
digestion vanishes in Five
Minutes

Take your sour stomach-or maybe
you call it indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas
tritis or Catarrh of Stomach; it doesn't
matter-take your stomach trouble
right with you to your Pharmacist and
ask him to open 5O-cent case of Pape's
Diapepsin and let you eat one % grain
Triangule and see if within FIVE min
utes there is left any trace of your
stomach misery.
The correct name for your trouble is
Food Fermentation-food souring; 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 and full
ness after eating, vomiting, nausea,
heartburn, gripping in bowels, tender
ness in the pit of stomach, bad taste in
mouth, constipation, pain in limbs,
sleeplessness. belching of gas, bilious
ness, sick headache, nervousness, dizzi.
ness and many other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle, and nothing
tempts you, or you belch gas or If you
feel bloated after eating, or your food
lies like lump of lead on your stomach,
you can make up your mind that at the
bottom of all this there is but one cause
fermentation of undigested food.
Prove to Yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good as
any, there ia nothing really wrong.
stop this fermentation and begin eating
what you want without fear of discom.
fort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
YOU. It is merely a matter of how soon
YOU take little Diapepsin.

Secretary r. Il. Howard Gives Brief
History Of the Or
ganizatiOn.

4he National Cooperative Burial
associatio .. branch of which has re-
Gently bet 4 organized in Owosso, is
one of the most su 1ssful and bene-
fetal orders in the county. The as
ISOLATION protects and insures at a
rate of NJ more than 10 cents per
month, tae funeral expenses OF its
members, the amount being equivalent
to 500.
The organization is unique in its
conception anu although started only
a few years ago II already has a large
membership ~. L.. Howard, secre-
cary Of the Uwosso branch when ask
e6 about the association today, gave
the following interesting history.
I'm 1902, W. e. Martin, Of Ma
comb, ILL.,, conceived teh ijea of
having four hundred persons pay
25c, pooling the the 500 secured to
defray the funeral expenses of the
first member who should die. So
many applications were received that
the rate was reduced to 10 cents.
'The success of the idea was so
PlonOuuCCu liOih bhO otdlJ Judt Wi
Martin securei a copyright and four
years ago the work of establishing
branches was commenced. In the
four years, about 700 branches have
been started with an average mem
bership of $500.
Our local branch is under the
direction Of prominent business men
as officers and members of the adj
visory board AMI we believe we have
the very best burial benefit in the
country. The membership fee of 25c
pays the first assessment and the
succeeding assessments do not exceed
10 cents per month. This makes a
total of $1.20 per year for practically
the same benefit the people are pay
ing other companies 500"
Mr.. r. e. Howard will be glad to
explain the proposition to any in
.erested parties.

CANADIAN INDIANS STARVING.
Trapper Says Many Have Already
Met Death In Extreme Cold.

Trapper Says Many Have Already
Met Death In Extreme Cold.
Colin Fraser, an old-time trapper, who
for the past twenty-six years has been
going north from Edmonton each year in
TO Canada's hinterland, has returned to
civilization and tells in a graphic man
ner the terrible sufferings of the Indians
in the far North during the winter now
rawing to a close. He says: 1.-THE cold
has been intense ever since Christmas,
and it was the hardest winter l have
ever seen in the North. During a period
Of fifty days the thermometer never went
higher than SO below zero, and SO and
even 50 below days were quite frequent.
The Indians nave suffered terribly, n
In one small tribe sixty-seven of them
died off since the beginning of January.
Their stores have run out and many Of
them are now on the verge Of starvation.
Fish solved the food problem in former
years, when fur-bearing animals were
scarce, but this year there are no fish
10 be caught. To give some idea Of the
scarcity Of fur this winter the catch I
will bring when the rivers open is not
pne-tenth of former years. This scarcity
Of fur will result in terrible ~hardships,
md I fear great mortality among the
Northern Indians, for they will get nea-
Their the flesh to eat nor the fur to trad9
for other commodities.

Chinese fishermen engaged at Pratas
Islends, having sent an urgent appeal to
the Viceroy of Canton, alleging that the
japanese were occupying the islands, the
Chinese cruiser Feuying and two de-
stroyers were dispatched to investigate.
The squadron spent four days at the ISL
ands and returned. Commander Woo,
who seized the japanese steamship Tatsu
Maru in 1907, reports that he found the
japanese flag flying on the islands and
more than a hundred Japanese establish
ed in permanent settlement, actively en-
gagged in removing phosphate, pearl shell
and tortoise shell without permission
from the Chinese government. The Jap
anese claimed they discovered the islands
eighteen months ago. They had destroyed
an old Chinese temple. driven off many
fishermen, burned six junks, the owners
of which refused to leave. and continual
ly threatened others with death if they
persisted in landing. Commander Woo
compelled the japanese to haul down
their flag and destroy the post which an
uuun"ed the alleged discovery of the ISL
ands. 1t is cstima ted hat the Japanese

dt o. Shipments have been forbidden.

of the Texas millionaire, William NJ.

when his request for a retrial was heard
by the appellate division of the New
York Supreme Court. Charging that Dis
trict Attorney jerome and others had en-
tered into a conspiracy TO cause his con
~viction and arguing that the Governor
had no right to substitute one punishment
for another. as he had done in committing
the death sentence to life Imprisonment,
Patrick said he had never accepted OF
asked for the ommutation. and that he
demanded either liberty or death at the
hands of the law. Time was given for
he submission of briefs on both sides.
