DIGESTIVE JUICE.
Gets Weak and Scarce Causing Your
Indigestion and Stomach Troubles

Indigestion and Stomach Troubles
If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach OF lies like a lump Of
lead, refusing to digest. or you belch
Gas and Eructate sour, undigested
food, or have a feeling of Dizziness,
Heartburn, Fullness, Nausea, Bad
taste in the mouth and Stomach head
ache-this is Indigestion.
A full case of Pape's Diapepsin
costs only so cents and will thorough
ly cure the worst case of Dyspepsia,
and leave sufficient about the house in
case some one else in the family may
suffer from Stomach trouble or indi-
gestion.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula plainly printed on these
so cent cases, then you will under
stand why Dyspeptic trouble of all
kinds must go and why they usually
relieve a sour stomach or indigestion
in five minutes. Get case now and
eat one Triangule after your next
meal. They are harmless and taste
like candy, though each contains pow
er sufficient to digest and prepare for
assimilation into the blood all the
food you eat; besides it makes you go
to the table with a hearty, healthy ap-
petite, but what will please you most
is that you will feel that your Stomach
and ntestines are clean and fresh and
you will not need to resort to laxa-
tives or live pills for Biliousness or
Constipation
This city will have many Diapepsin
cranks, as some people will call them
but you will be cranky about this
splendid stomach prescription, too, if
you ever have Indigestion or Gastritis
or any other Stomach misery, and eat
just one Triangule of Diapepsin

CIVIL SERVICE TO
APPLY TO CENSUS
ENUMERATORS
If President ROOseVelt'S Ideas
Are Carried Out.
VETOES PATRONAGE SCHEME
Bill Passed by Congress Permitted
Appointment to Position by Mem
bers and Senators.

Washington, Feb. 6-"The evil eff
fects Of the spoils system and of the
custom of treating appointments to
the public service as personal per
quistes of professional politicians are
peculiarly evident in the case of a
great public work like the taking of
the census. a work which should en-
phatically be done for the whole PEG
pie and with an eye single to their
interest"
In these words President Roosevelt
yesterday summed up a message to
the House of Representatives return
ing without his approval the bill pro
yiding for the taking of the next cen
sus because of the provision prescrib-
ing that appointments shall be made
on the basis OF non-competitive exam
nations instead of through the civil
service commission As passed by
congress, the bill permitted members
and senators to designate persons for
positions after they had undergone
simple examination.
incidentally, the president referred
to the provision authorizing the print.
ing OF census reports by private con-
Germs and laid stress upon the point
that where work was so allotted the
eight-hour day law should be applied
in effective fashion.
Outside Of those matters the Pres
ident said on the whole the bill was
satisfactory to him, and represented
an Improvement upon previous legisla-
tion on the subject The house ad-
journed without action on the mes
sage.

EYE BADLY INJURED
Mrs. August 5rlIlon of Spring Street
Victim of Peculiar Accident

A very peculiar accident occurred
about O'Clock Friday afternoon to
Mrs. August Brillion of Spring street.
She was engaged in fixing the fire in
her stove and while doing the work
made use of a poker which became
nearly red hot On removing it from
the stove she placed it on the hearth
to cool.
Her three year old child was near
by and seized the iron, holding it YER
tically in his hands. When the mother
stopped down to raise the hod of coal
the hot end of the poker struck her
eye bali and she received most pain
full injury. A local physician was sum
moned and Immediately dressed the
injury.
This morning in company with her
husband, she went to Albany to con
suit DR.. Merrill an eminent oculist of
that city. II is the opinion of the To-
cal physician who had charge of the
case that Mrs. Brillion will not lose
the sight Of the eye. It is doubtful,
however, he added to tell just how
the case may turn out.

EARLY MORNING FIRE
Block on Main Street in Barre Prac-
tlcally Destroyed.

Barre, Feb. 6.-Fire which broke
out at 1895 yesterday morning prac-
tically destroyed the two-story wood
en- building on North Main street
owned by the Durkee estate. The
first floor of the building was occu-
pied as a grocery by Almina & Belli,
and they had sleeping apartments on
the second floor. The south end of
the second floor of the building was
occupied by Enrico Rulfo The total
loss is about $4,000.
1t is thought the fire caught in the
front part of the grocery from a kero-
sene heater that had been left burn
ing there.
The stock i'm the store, most of
which was destroyed, was insured for
$4,000.

the witness stand in his suit against
the Rutland railroad company for
damages owing to the destruction of
his hotel by fire. which he claims was
caused by the spark of a locomotive.
1t developed that the insurance COM
panies are the actual plaintiffs in
the case The Vermont Mutual and
Union Mutual paid him $3.50 for his
loss within 80 days after the fire. On
eross-eXamination the theory of the
defense was shown to be that the fire
might have caught from stove in
the harness room or by lantern left
lighted In the barn.
