INDIGESTION ENDS.
Misery from Your Disordered
Stomach goes in Five Minutes.

You can eat anything your stomach
Graves without fear of case of Indi-
gestion or Dyspepsia, or that your
food will ferment or sour on your
stomach if you will occasionally take
a little Diapepsin after eating.
Your meals will taste good, and
anything you eat will be digested; /;
nothing can ferment or turn into acid
or poison or stomach gas, which
causes Belching, dizziness, feeling
of fulness after eating, Nausea. In
digestion (like lump of lead in stom-
ach), Biliousness, Heartburn, Water
brash, Pain in stomach and intestines
or others symptoms.
Headaches from the stomach are
absolutely unknown where this effec-
tive remedy is used. Diapepsin really
does all the work of healthy stom-
ach. 1t digests your meals when your
stomach can't. Each triangule will
digest all the food you can eat and
leave nothing to ferment or sour.
Get a large 50-cent case of Pape's
Diapepsin from your druggist and
start taking today and by tomorrow
you will actually brag about your
healthy, strong stomach, for you
then can eat anything and everything
you want without the slightest dis
comfort or misery, and every particle
of impurity and gas that is in your
stomach and intestines is going to be
carried away without the use of
laxatives or any other assistance.

FRIEND O'THE FAMILY

''WeH, sir,' said the shoemaker short
~ after the sunfish quit biting, II got
a letter yesterday that done me lot
of good You remember told you the
last time we was out fishin' together
that | used to have shop of my own
up in old Illinois an made good money
too. Well, sir, all the kids in that
town knowed me, an they wasn't
one of 'em that wouldn't have gone to
the bad place fer me If they'd been
old enough to know what that really
meant But they wasn't-bless their
little hearts!
"An' there was two of 'em in per-
ticker. the incest little kids you ever
Seen. It's fact that there little girl ID
come from school every day leadin'
her little brother by the hand. An
they'd never be time they'd be pass
in the shop on their way to school or
goin' home to dinner that they wouldn't
stop an knock on the shop window.
"An' often after school d be out
they'd stop in an see me. Why, I've
had as high as ten or twelve Of 'em at
one time after school in my shop sing
in the shoemaker song an goin'
through the motions just like their
teacher d learn 'em to.
Sometimes some of 'em would have
to stop an laugh-they thought it was
such a good joke on the shoemaker.
But there'd always be two or three Of
'em would go on an finish out, cause
they knowed they'd never get the dime
fer candy if they didn't. An there's
where 1 used to have the joke on 'em.
They never knowed how much liked
TO hear 'em sing that there song. I'd
sooner hear it now than have dollar
"Well, that's just the way it was all
the time with 'em kids. They all
knowed me, an they all knowed my
dog. An when they knowed my dog
they knowed mighty good dog.
"Well, sir, this little girls daddy
used to be station agent there at that
town, an it was known all along that
part Of the Big Four line that there
wasn't a depot anywhere that was
as his. Course I knowed him, an he
knowed me, an his wife she used to
tell the little girl when they'd want me
to come an take dinner or supper with
'em. 1t wasn't very often I'd go, but
I couldn't refuse when they'd send the
little girl after me.
"Now, him keepin' his depot so model
is what got him promoted. The Big
Four sent him over to a bigger town
In Indiana. Course 1 was glad to see
him doin' better-he deserved it. But
after they'd gone me an my dog we
used to shut up shop an go fishin' an
huntin' a little oftener than before.
"Well, come along Christmas time
an what d 1 do but one day get let
ter from this here little girl tellin' me
her an her little brother was goin' to
have a Christmas tree an couldn't
come over to Indiana an see 'em
