Washington, Nov. IT, 1909.


Dear Dad: President Taft pro-
crastinates. This explains some
things which might not otherwise
be plain. He works only when he
has to, and then just to
get it done. He would rather
let the other fellow do the digging
for him. He can work when he has
to, and does when it is no longer
possible to shove the work away.
Then he plows through his task
with fierceness and dispatch. But,
like other peoples eleventh hour
work, the results at times bear
evidnce of superficialty.
Friends who knew Taft in the
Philippines tell me he was trou-
bled in the same way there. Often
he would let official matters pile
up on his desk until their need for
his attention was imperative. Then
he would sit up all night digging
out from under.
1 heard today good example of
this system. That tariff speech
which was delivered at Winona,
Mimi, was not written until the
presidents train pulled in, and be-
tween LaCrosses and Winona the
train was slowed down by special
orders to give the president an
hour more time. A more fore
handed man would have had a
speech of such Importance prepar-
ed and carefully revised before he
started on the trip.
Such simple matter as the de-
termination of the question,
what Is whisky" has been hang
ing fire now sonce early last
spring. The rehearing (the elev-
enth) and the Bowers decision
were all in hand before the be-
ginning of the summer. There
was no possible need for more de-
ay. But six months have passed

ALL STOMACH MISERY ENDED
WITH A LITTLE D|APEPS|N

If you had some Diapepsin
handy and would take little
now your stomach distress or In
digestion would vanish in five
minutes and you would feel fine.
This harmless preparation will
digest anything you eat and over
come sour, out-of-order stom-
ach before you realize 1t.
If 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, of IL you
have heartburn, that is sign of
Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a So
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and
take little just as soon as you
can. There will be no sour ris-
ings, no belching of undigested
food mixed with acid, no stomach
gas or heartburn, fullness or

and the whisky matter is still
lying on the presidents desk.
l don't need to call your atteh-
ton to the appointments which
have been piling up. l mean the
appointments to be made. There
are the ministers to France and
China and Ambassador to Great
Britain, together with a whole raft
of minor appointments in and out
of the diplomatic service, and it is
just because Bill says, ooh, well,
come back and see me about that
next January" Whereupon he re-
sumes his smile and wanders forth
to while away a few pleasant
hours at golf.
Seems to me it was Lord Penn
berton who, speaking of golf,
quoth thusly: But it is a game
for gentlemen, requiring as 1t
doth a vast expanse of untitled
land and being Furthermore of a
gnetle sort adapted to such per-
sons as lead the more quiet life
of studious habit and not practiced
in those arts which make the
muscles hard and for their per-
formance require both youth and
daring"
Among the recent rulings of the
interstate commerce commission is
this: Held, that the deceased wife
of an employe may be regarded as
a member of his family until given
permanent burial" This permits a
pass to issue for the free transport
tation of former member of a
railway family who has been bur-
led and dug up.
Among the questions which are
reported to be pressing for settle
ment by President Taft is the re-
moval of VIM. Loeb, collector of
the portof New York. Anyone who
has read of the harsh manner in
which Mr.. Loeb has been getting
after the customs thieves will I'M
derstand the demand for his re-
moval.
The Muckrakers conspiracy
story has come to light again.
This time it was fathered by
Frank Hitchcock, P. M. G., and
Geo. Hill of the Washington bu-
reau of the New York Tribune. Be
saving, boys, 1t will have to do
duty for long while yet.
In Japan during the period from
1887 to 1905 one couple was d.
vorced for every four couples that
were married. On July 16, 1898,
Japan introduced a new code
which was intended to reduce the
frequency of divorce. Since its
Introduction the prevailing ratio
has been one divorce to six mar.
riages. The code provides 10 dis
tinct grounds upon which divorce
may be obtained, but 1t also gives
legal recognition to the old alp
anese custom of divorce by mutual
consent. How about the latter
ground in the United States?
Mrs. Taft will not be we'll
enough for any strenuous social
activities this winter. Sincerely,
RATH.

heavy feeling in the stomach.
Nausea, Debilitating Headaches.
Dizziness or Intestinal gripping.
This will all go, and, besides. there
will be no undigested food left
over in the stomach to poison your
breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is certain
cure for out-of-order stomachs,
because it prevents fermentation
and takes hold of your food and
digests it just the same as If your
stomach wasn't there.
Relief in five minutes from all
stomach misery is at any drug
store waiting for you.
The large 50-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to thorough
ly cure almost any case of Dys-
pepsia, Indigestion or any other
stomach disturbance.

INFAN 7 WANTS
DIVORCE

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. u.s.
Harry Lind Shaw, an infant, has
begun suit in the circuit court for
annulment of his marriage. Be
ing an infant, he could not sue in
his own name, so his mother, Mrs.
Helen Shaw, has been appointed
his guardian for the purpose of
this case.
He was married in Vancouver,
Wash, last February, when he was
16 years of age, and the Washing
ton law forbids the marriage of
youngsters of that age.

changes in financial conditions and in
crease of competition upon the line of
goods to which the Exchange confines
itself. Being so accounted for, the di-
rectorate sees no cause for the slight

hopefully forward to good, steady ad-
vaneement as times will permit under
the careful, experienced and efficient
supervision of the worthy manager and
her loyal assistant. To enable the Ex-
change to carry on its expenses and at
the same time do for its depositors
