If what you just ate Is souring on your stomach or lies like lump of lead, refusing to digest, or you belch Gas and Eructate sour, undigested food or have a feeling of Dizziness. Heart burn, F'ullness. Nausea, Bad taste in mouth and stomach headache-this is Indigestion.
 A full case of Papes Diapepsin costs only 50 cents and will thoroughly cure your out-of-order stomach, and leave sufficient about the house in case some one else in the family may suffer from stomach trouble or indigestion.
 Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula plainly printed on these O-cent cases. then you will understand why Dys- peptic trouble of all kinds must go. and why they usually relieve sour, out-of- order stomachs or Indigestion in i've

Hale and hearty old age means simp- ly healthy organs and healthy func- tions retained beyond the usual time.
 As a rule, at the age of 60 or TO years, the functions begin to wane and the various organs to lose their natural power.
 This need not occur. At least not in all cases. Many a man and woman have retained their health and vigor much later In life.

minutes. Diapepsin is harmless and tastes like candy, though each dose contains power sufficient to digest and prepare for assimilation into the blood all the food you eat; besides, it makes you go Ito the table with a healthy appetite; but, what will please you most is that you will feel that your stomach and intestnes are clean and fresh and you will not need to resort to laxatives or liver pills for Biliousness or Constipa- tion
 This city will have many Diapepsin eranks, as some people will call them, but you will be cranky about this splen- did stomach preparation, too, if you ever try a little for Indigestion or Gastritis or any other stomach >snisery.

THE WAY THE NEW TARIFF LAW
WILL PAN OUT,

AS result of the changes in our
tariff laws made by the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff bill, the prices of many of
the .necessaries of life will be increas-
ed, but the increased price paid
by consumers will not inure
to the benefit of the Federal
Government On the contrary the
government will lose revenue in
every instance in which the tariff is
prohibitive.. The new tariff bill was
prepared by the agents of "the inter-
ests" and for the benefit of 'the in
terests" and all of the increased cost
paid by consumers will go into the
pockets of the tariff barons.
The government will have to
skimp along as best it can, and cut
down expenses in every department
during the year to come. And even
by practising the strictest economy
the Taft administration will more
than likely end its first year with a
huge deficit in the national treasury.
The revolt of a few republicans
will not put an end to this whole
sale grating of the general public.
1t will never be ended until the
tariff beneficiaries are prevented fro
purchasing elections for United States
senators and other public officials.

FowLER's ASSAULT UPON CAN.
NON.

Representative Charles N. Fowler
for many years a republican leader in
the House, and chairman of the COM
mittee on banking and currency, has
addressed an open letter to Speaker
Cannon in which he uses language
which would make Senator Tillman
envious. The communication is by far
the most vigorous and comprehen-
sive attack upon Cannon which has
yet appeared.
The following are sample para.
graphs:
Il challenge you," he writes of the
tariff controversy, "to cite in all our
political history more dishonorable
and disreputable piece of business
unless, perchance, you cite something
in your own career of which the peo-
pie are not yet advised"
And finally: "As you are aware,
we now have a government by edict.
so completely have you absorbed and
usurped all power, legislative as well
as political. You have succeeded in
Russianizing our House of Representa-
tives. But you will be the last OF
the political Bourbons, and the condi-
tons which made such creature as
you possible will end with the Sixty
first Congress"

measure of tariff reform, he found
$4,000 of his constituents waiting to
greet him with cheers. Senator Cum
Minis met a similar reception at his
Des Moines home. These men may
not jhst now stand high in the fav-
or of the trusts that provide the
republican party with its campaign
funds, but it is enough for them to
know that their patriotic efforts are
appreciated by Americans OF all pc.
