ALL INDIGESTION GOES
Heartburn, Gas, Dyspepsia and other
Stomach Misery vanishes

The question as to how long you
are going to continue a sufferer from
Indigestion, Dyspepsia or out of or
der stomach Is merely matter of
how soon you begin taking some Dia-
pepsin.
If your stomach is lacking in diges-
tive power. why not help the stomach
TO do its work not with drastic drugs
but a reinforcement of digestive
agents, such as are naturally at work
in the stomach
People with weak stomachs should
take a little Diapepsin occasionally,
and there will be no more Indigestion
no feeling like a lump of lead in the
stomach, no heartburn, Sour risings,
Gas on Stomach or Belching of undi-
gested food, Headaches, Dizziness or
Sick Stomach and besides that you
eat will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseous odors. All these
symptoms resulting from a sour, out
of order stomach and dyspepsia are
generally relieved Ave minutes after
taking little Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist and get a so
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now,
and you will always go to the table
with hearty appetite and what you
eat Will taste good, because your sto-
mach and intestines will be clean and
fresh and you will know there are not
going to be any more bad nights and
miserable days for you. They fresh
en- you and make you feel like life is
worth living.

North Adams, Dec. S.-The eXami-
nation made of the body of Lewis j.

mary at Troy, n. Y. He had been in
the institution for two weeks for

with the apparent causes of death.
After the examination Or. Brown
said that while he could make no
statement as to the extent of the find
ings in the examination, that ii had
been determined beyond question that
the man had sustained serious iniur-
les before death. He added that sew
eral bones had been broken and there
were many bruises, several of which
were severe and that all indications
pointed to the man having received
harsh treatment
The examination did not take the
form of an autopsy. this being prev
ented by the fact that the undertaken
had prepared the body for burial be-
fore the medical examiner was called
In. II was rather in the form of a view
or external examination. DIR. Hull
said practically what the examiner
gave out after the examination. The
members of the family stated that
they were surprised to find that the
injuries were as bad as were deter
mined, but would moi say what they
were in detail.
While the physicians would have
little 10 say in regard TO the -examina-
tion. g IS known that they found the
slcinln bone broken and two ribs
fractured Besides these were many
bruises on the body The physicians
refuse to say what part the injuries
night have had in the cause of death
which followed the return of Mr.
Gardner, but the medical examiner
stated that the case would be report
ed to the court and to the district at

gagged in rebuilding and enlarging the
plant. Twenty-Five of the men we're
employed near the gasometer They
disappeared in mass of flames
which shot up to great height.
Firemen with apparatus appeared
quickly on the scene but they were
unable to approach in large force ow-

establishment.
Up TO late hour last night ten
men were reported dead and II miss
ing It is almost certain that all of
these are dead Forty men were
dangerously injured of whom several
cannot recover.

Opposed to Immediate Congressional
investigation of Sugar Trust

Washington, Dec. S.-The presi-
dents message which was read yes
terday in both houses of Congress,
makes a large number of important
recommendations despite the fact
that the three most interesting topics
he had been expected to discuss are
deferred for consideration in special
messages. The president promises
further light on his views regarding
antitrust and interstate commerce,
conservation and military legislation.
He outlines the developments in the
Nicaraguan situation to date and in
Inmates the possibility of special
message on that subject later.
The principal recommendations are
as follows:
Deferring further tariff revision till
the new board collects adequate data.
No investigation of sugar import
scandals while prosecutions are UNI
der way.

labor controversies without notice.

Cities
FOUR SWING TO LICENSE
Only One, HaverhilI, Goes From Wet

Springfield and Brockton.

Boston, Dec. S.-No-license receiv-
ed a tremendous setback in the cleo
tons held yesterday in IA cities of
Massachusetts. Four of them-Fall
RIVER, New Bedford, Gloucester and
Marlboro-swung back into the IL
cense column. One-Haverhill-
swung the other way from license to
no-licence.
The contest on the liquor question
was the feature of all the elections,
with the exception of those in Law
renee and Springfield. It was re-
sponsible for a fairly heavy vote. or
the whole, and in Taunton resulted
in bringing hundreds to the polls, al
though the city remained in the
wet" list.
There were a few surprises notable
in Springfield and Brocton. both of
which elected Democratic mayors
for the first time in some years In
the latter city William II. Clifford,
who defeated C. Clifford Eaton made
a successful fight after four unsuc-
cessful years of practice in the art of
running for mayor.
In Springfield Edward H. I4athrop
also a democrat won out over Mayor
William +. Sanderson and the city
will have Democratic mayor for the
first time since 1901 when William p,
Hayes was elected

TAFT GAINS WORKING TITLE
President Puts in More Hours Than
Did Roosevelt

Washington, Dec. S.-President
Taft is proving TO be one of the hard
working presidents, according to
those who closely observe the habits
of great men. While he does not
work so intensely nor as fast as did
his immediate predecessor, he puts in
more hours each day than did Mr..
Roosevelt.
Mr. Taft's working day begins at
$3.50 a. m, and lasts until D. M Be
fore he goes to the executive Office he
takes his morning exercise and has
a bit of breakfast. AS a rule the pre-
sident takes little time for luncheon.
President Roosevelt did little work
after o'clock in the afternoon, espec-
tally when it was a good day for ten
mis- or a fine drizzly time for walking
through Rock Creek Park. Mr. Taft
differs in that he usually does much
work after luncheon frequently re-
turning to the executive offices for
special conferences with cabinet MEM
bers or transacting business in the ex-
ecutive mansion. -
Mr.. Taft has formed a habit of
working at the mansion after dinner
On several occasions during the pro
gress of the annual message the pre-
sident remained up till very late die
tating and revising his first big state
document. Notwithstanding all the
time he devotes to work, he still takes
some exercise. He never misses his
morning calisthenics and whenever
possible, takes walk or ride, how
ever short it may be.

REV. J. M. A. eENEsT DEAD
Pastor of Notre Dame Church at Ad
ans

North Adams, Dec. S.-Rev Joseph
NJ A. Genest, pastor of Notre Dame
church at Adams died suddenly Mon
day night of apoplectic shock.
Father Genest officiated at mass in
the church Sunday morning and even
ing and celebrated mass Monday
morning at 1880 O'clock During the
day he visited the parochial school
and read the notes of the different
classes. He seemed in unusually
good health and gave no signs of sick
ness.
Monday evening at 1880 o'clock
Rev. Joseph Marchland of Holyoke,
pastor of the Church of Perpetual
Health in that city, arrived to visit
Father Genest. They have been very
dear friends and boon companions
Both priests were in the pastor
study and We're smoking Father
Marchland was relating his experien-
ces on trip to the south when he
suddenly noticed a smile come over
Father Genesis face and he thought
ne was laughing at the narrative.
Father Genesis cigar was in his hand
ard slowly the appraised hand dropped
and the priest fell back in his chair
unconscious.
Rev Joseph NJ. A. Genest was born
in Quebec November g. 1858 and pre-
pared for the priesthood in Quebec
seminary and was ordained June Z,
1884. by Mgr Raine. He was a pro-
lessor in the seminary from 1884 to
1883 and his health failing he sought
to restore it and came to the United
States and was curate in Manches-
ter n. II. Later he was curate of
Notre Dame church in Worcester
from 1889 until 1891 He then went
TO Southbridge and was there until
1894 when he was made pastor of st.
Williams church In Mittineague. He
also had a mission church in West
Springfield and built St Louis church
there in 1895. While abroad in Rome
the church burned and he rebuilt it
in 1899.
He came to Adams in November,
1904. Since coming there he had
worked faithfully and was most pi-
Gus man. His business management
was excellent and especially was he
active in the spiritual welfare of the
parish. Last June the church was
consecrated as a sign that it was free
of all debt and the stone altar of Ital-
ian marble was put in under his dir
ection as a mark of conservation and
blessed at the conservation services.
The 25th anniversary of his ordina-
ton to the priesthood was celebrated
at the same time.

TAPESTRIES WORTH 100000
On Their Way to America. to Be
Admitted Duty Free.

New York, Dec. Until the Pay
ne-Aldrich tariff bill becomes law, it
was never guessed that so many tap
estries more than 100 years old ex-
listed in the world.
The appraiser at this port now has
information that tapestries valued at
$9,000,000 and each accompanied by
an affidavit that it was woven a cen
fury or more ago are on shipboard
bound for this country, or in storage
abroad, awaiting shipment
Clause III in the new tariff act
provides that paintings and other ex-
amples of the plastic arts more than
20 years old, pottery, tapestries and
other antiques more than 100 years
old, shall be admitted free of duty.
If the experts in the appraisers
offices in the ports of entry in this
country agree as to the age of the
tapestries, it will mean that they will
all enter free.
