UPSET SIOM ACH.
Ends Five Minutes after Taking Some
DlapepSIn.
EAT YOUR FAV0R|ATE FOODS.
Stops Fermentation and Cures all Stomach
Trouble Before You Realize II.

Take your sour stomach-or mayby
you call it indigestion, Dyspepsia, Cas-
tritis or Cstarrah of Stomach; it dosen't
matter-take your stomach trouble
right with you to your Pharmacist and
ask him to open 50-cent case of Pape's
Diapepsin and let you eat one 22-grain
Triangule and see if within FIVE minutes
there is left any trace of your stomach
misery.
The correct name for your trouble is
Food Fermentation--food souring; the
Digestive organs become weak, there is
lack of gastric juice; your food is only
half digested, and you become affected
with loss of appetite, pressure and full
ness after eating, vomiting, nausea,
heartburn, gripping in bowels tenderness
in pit of the stomach, bad taste in mouth
constipation, pain in limbs, sleeplessness,
belching of gas, biliousness, sick head
ache, nervousness, dizziness and many
other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle, and nothing
tempts you, or you belch gas or if you
feel bloated after eating, or your food
lies like lump of lead on your stomach,
you can make up your mind that at the
bottom of all this there is but one cause
fermentation of undigested food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good as
any; that there is nothing really wrong.
Stop this fermentation and begin eating
what without fear of discomfort or
misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. 1t is merely matter Of how soon
you take little Dyspepsia.

homa Rule Causes Worry.

The great home rule proposition for
which everything else seems to have
been sidetracked by the new constitu-
ton, bids fair TO cause lot of worry
to the lawmakers. Already they are
divided in opinion as to whether an
absolute home rule bill for cities can
be framed and SO far only two at
tempts have been made. Il is known,
however, that at least a dozen more
are in various stages Of construction.
The chief trouble is in the fact that
Detroit Is in class by itself. and yet
TO legislate for the local wants of one
city seems to be forbidden. II is also
held that II no local laws can be
passed then none can be repealed and
on this point the attorney general still
withholds his opinion, which was re.
Quested early in the session. In the
Issue OF bonds, in the control of pub.
lie utilities and numerous other ways
II is a confusing proposition.

merit system the employees of all state
institutions. They are not included in
the MacKay bill
The Mapes bill provides for submit
ting to the people of counties and cit
les the question of putting county and

provides for their payment by the

Amending Constitution.

Voters will have a chance to say
whether we shall give the new consti-
tuition a trial as II was framed or
change 1t before it is tested. There is
already felt lseenly the need of the
Public Utility Commission that was
cut out and killed and the omission
VIII keep the state back in the con-
troll of telegraphs, telephones, water
power companies, etc, for several
years unless the work can legally be
put on the railroad commission.
The three amendments to the con-
stitution that have been prepared by
Rep. Colby and which will doubtless
be approved by the house are as fol-
lows:
First-To make ii possible for the
legislature to make more than one
general law for cities and villages and
giving cities the power to change their
bonding and taxation limit by a two.
thirds vote.
Second-To provide for the classi.
foation of cities into two divisions,
those of $4,000 and over and those of
less than that population Also pro-
vision is made for repeating special
acts and the passage of more local
acts needed for special purposes in
Detroit.
Third-This provision is that all
local acts as soon as signed by the
governor shall go to the supreme
court for decision as to their neces-
sity so that the act may not be de-
clared invalid after II has gone to a
vote of the people.
