CHICAGO, August 21.-Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock arrived in Chicago today
and went to the Chicago Club. He said
that the purpose Of his visit was to con-
slider the proposed post Office on the
West Side, and declined to affirm the
rumors and theories which credited his
presence with political significance.
Notwithstanding the ostensible mission
of the former chairman of the repub-
lican national committee, the local poll
ticians continued to see q political end
in the stay of the Postmaster General,
and intimated that the merits of possible
successors to the late federal Judge s. n.
Bethea might be considered.
A conference of political chiefs with
the Postmaster General was regarded as
certain, and the chances of Chauncey
Dewey of the Illinois congressional dis
trict to advance toward appointment to
an important federal position were freely
discussed.
Among those who met Mr.. Hitchcock
was William Hayward. secretary of the
republican national committee.

Tinted Walls Favored.

Tinted walls that can be washed
down are becoming more and more in
favor for bathrooms. nurseries or
schoolrooms, and if properly done they
can be washed down and kept sani-
tary. One painter says. that the pre-
paration of such a wall is not always
thoroughly understood. so bad-looking
streaks follow the first washing.
A tinting material should be used
that has no glue on it and does not
need a glue size on the wall. This nat
ural cement is applied directly to the
plaster, and is then covered with q
water enamel. which is given a coat
Of varnish when dry.
with such treatment the wall can be
washed down whenever necessary. The
cost is comparatively little more than
ordinary tinting. depending naturally
upon the size Of the room.
For use in school room care should
be taken that the tint is light enough
to make a cheerful room and not abb
sorb color in a way 10 injure young
eyes. A warm yellow or a light green
almost a Nile, is. either one, an ex-
cellent choice.

SOUR FOOD AND
Classy STOMACH
You Can Rid Yourself of
Stomach Trouble and In
digestion Forever

Some people think they have Indi-
gestion, others Catarrh of the Stom
ach, others Nervousness, Cancer or
Dyspepsia, etc, Call il this il you will.
but the real name for your trouble is
Food Fermentation, with only partial
digestion. Everything you eat turns
to either Acid, Stomach gas or Stom-
ach poison, which weaken the diges-
tive organs, causing a lack OF gastric
juice. Your food sours, is only half d-
gested, and you become affected with
loss of appetite, pressure and fullness
after eating, burning sensation, a feel
ing of vomiting, heartburn, water
brash and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. Shiny tongue, bad taste in
the mouth, constipation, nausea, belch-
ing OF gas, dizziness, sick headaches,
mental depression and many other
common symptoms.
You can cure all this by not eating.
by not putting any food in your stom-
ach to ferment; but how about the
nourishment needed to sustain your
bodily strength? If you are a stom-
ach sufferer, either man or woman,
young or old. whether you call it lndi-
gestion or any other name, go now to
your druggist and give so cents for a
case Of Pape's Diapepsin.
Every possible kind Of Stomach
trouble is readily cured by Diapepsin
which takes right hold of the food in
your stomach and digests Il alone
without the help OF the stomach, just
as If your stomach wasn't there.
After a few days use of Dlapepsin
your Stomach will again be in good
working order, your meals will thor
oughly digest and your intestines will
be clean and fresh, and you will have
no use for laxatives or liver regu-
lators

Shades Easily Made.

Very few and pretty candle shades
are made in the simplest possible
way.
The frame Is merely two wire circles
IAN umbrella shaped affair. with no
angles whatever. The cover-is a cir
Gle of cretonne, about six inches bigger
in diameter than is the frame. Around
the edge OF this cretonne is sewn n
fringe of glass beads. which Is heavy
enough 20 hold down the cover and
to cause II TO fall down the folds.
Another circle is cut from the CEN
ter OF the cover just the size 20 ut
around the frame. The cover Is then
fastened at the inside circle TO the
frame by a binding of gold braid. The
mica shade. Of course, fits on the stand
entirely independently of the candle
shade.
The great advantage OF the shade
lies In the fact, unlike most OF its
/ kind. It need not be fitted TO the frame,
nor are there seams TO be finished on
the under side Bead fringe may be
bought by the yard and wire frames
are extremely expensive.
