INDIGESTION ENDS
In FIVE MINUTES
Misery From an Upset Stomach
Goes Before You Realize il.

Every family here ought to keep
some dyspepsia in the house as any
one of you may have an attack of in
digestion or stomach trouble at any
time, day or night.
This harmless preparation will d.
gest anything you eat and overcme a
sour stomach five minutes after
wards
II your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill
you, or lays like a lump of lead in
your stomach, or If you have heart
burn, that is sign of indigestion.
Ask your pharmacist for a So
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and
take one triangule after supper to-
night. There will be no sour ris
ings, no belching of undigested food
mixed with acid, no stomach gas or
heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling
in the stomach, Nausea, Debilitating
headaches, Dizziness or intestinal
gripping. This will all go, besides
there will be no sour food left over
in the stomach to poison your breath
with nauseous odors.
Papes Dlapepsin Is certain
cure for all stomach misery, because
1t will take hold of your food and di-
gest 1t just the same as If your
stomach wasn't there.
Actual, prompt relief for all your
stomach misery is at your pharma-
cist, waiting for you.
These large 50-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to cure a case
OF Dyspepsia or indigestion.

CROWDS ARE COMING
BUSINESS ACTIVITY
Many People Are Expected to Arrive
In Grants Pass During March
and April.

The work that the Commercial
Club is doing is of great service to
this county. This organization has
the confidence Of the people Of many
states All applications for informa-
tlon are being promptly attended to
in manner that gives the best salts
faction. Booklets and newspapers
are called for extensively and at the
same time personal letters must be
written. r. r Blanchard, the sec
retary OF the club said to reporter
one day this week that the mail re-
ceived was from 30 to 40 letters
daily. This shows that some good
work Is going on at the club every
day in the week
1t was thought that the secretary
would not be required to give more
than half of his time to the work
of the Commercial Club, but go
there when you will he Is always
| found at work, and often In the even
ing he is still at his desk Every day
| there are more or less important
visitors at the Club and majority
OF them go away well pleased with
their visit.
The one way railroad rate which
has just gone into effect and is to
run until April 80 is $25 from
Omaha, Kansas City and other Mis-
souri, River Points. This will add
to the prosperity Of Grants Pass for
already the Commercial Club has had
information that we will have nu-
merous arrivals every day brought
| by this low one way rate. The de-
mand for booklets and newspapers
exceeds the present supply and the
new county booklets cannot come too
soon. The Courier has calls by mail
every day for copies of the paper
giving information regarding irriga-
! tion, soils, fruit and general crops.
The Commercial Club has constant
calls for the same as well as other
important information. 1t Is necess-
airy that we furnish all possible
facts regarding this county and the
opportunities for investment, and it
should come officially from the Com
mercial Club. This Is the time to
advertise and the Club should have
all the facilities to do the work. To
advertise is all important and remem-
Der It takes money to do this which
fact must not be forgotten.
A few days more and the county
roads will be in fair condition for
automobiles and by that time the
eastern arrivals will be numerous,
The visitors will expect to find here
all the conditions described in our
booklets and newspapers and in this
they will not be disappointed. They
will also find here the very best peo-
pie In the world.
