STOMACH MISERY ENDS
Five Minutes After Taking Little
Diapepsin Your stomach Will Feel
Fine Again-Eat Your Favorite
Foods Without Fear of Distress.

II your meals don't fit comfortably
or you feel bloated after eating, and
you believe it is the food which fills
you; if what little you eat lies like
lump of lead on your stomach: if
there is difficulty in breathing after
eating, eructations of sour undigested
food and acid, heartburn, brash or a
belching of gas, you can make up
your mind that you need something to
stop food fermentation and cure indi-
gestion.
To make every bite of food you eat
aid in the nourishment and strength
Of your body, you must rid your
stomach of poisons, excessive acid
and stomach gas, which sours your
entire meal-interferes with digestion
andc auses so many sufferers of dys-
pepsia, sick headache, biliousness,
constipation, gripping, etc. Your case
is no different-you are a stomach
| sufferer, though you may call it by
some other name; your real and only
trouble is that which you eat does
not digest but quickly ferments and
sours, producing almost any un-
healthy condition.
A case of Pape's Diapepsin will
| cost fifty cents at any pharmacy here
and will convince any stomach suf-
| ferer five minutes after taking a sin
gle dose that fermentation and sour
stomach is causing the misery of in
| digestion.
No matter if you call your trouble
catarrh of the stomach, nervousness
or gastritis, or by any other name
| always remember that a certain cure
| is waiting at any drug store the mo-
ment you decide to begin its use.
Pape's Diapepsin will regulate any
out-or-order stomach within five min
utes, and digest promptly. without any
fuss or discomfort, all of any kind of
food you eat.

neglected and very much unlike
the celebrations of the past are.
year after year being shelved.
Less interest is being mainfes-
ted and the time seems to be
upon us when the celebration
like most everything grand this
town has been proud of will
only be a remem brance of the
past. Usually steps were taken
before this time TO insure a
grand celebration, but as none
have been taken as yet and as
the matter is not even being
spoken of, it might reasonably
be supposed that there is moth
ing doing for the firemen in
1910.
If the old spirit that posses

cele bration of the anniversary
were still alive there might be
hopes, but as it is We fear that
our ideas regarding the absence
of celebration will be realized.

Large delegation sent to Washing Ton
returned last week very hopeful and
sanguino of success.
Report has it that the next legislature
Win be asked to make an appropria-
tion to get the exposition.

New Orleans last week put
in a strong bid at Washington
for the panama Canal Exposition.
Besides being closer to the
canal than any other city, New
Orleans is cosmopolitan city
and her interests have been
closer to the people, OF the La
tin American people, than other
cities. The opening of the canal
promises to be marked by an
exposition and since New Or
leans has had experience in
handling crowds as well as
an exposition it looks as if it
might be as good city as any
in which to hold the event CON-
memorating such an epoch in
history.
A delegation of representa-.
tive citizens headed by Cover
or Sanders and Martin Behr
man spent several daysin Wash
iugton mixing With congress
man and senators, as we'll as
as giving receptions to the re-
presentatives of different for
eign countries. President Taft
was first approached and made
a friend of the movement. They
returned last week very hope
full and sanguine of success. The
next Legislature will be asked
to place a special tax through
a constitutional amendment for
the purpose of assisting the
movement. The holding of an
exposition in New Orleans can
not but be productive OF. much
good to the entire state in hav.
ing it's advantages and resour

be hoped that the southern Met,
ropolis will be successful and
land the prize.

Richard Allen Craigin

Last Thursday afternoon grim rea
per death checked a promising Career
in taking from bis field of activities
Richard Allen Craigin. The young
man had just reached his majority
a few months ago and was engaged
in the real estate business in Gulf
port Miss, where he died. His
success was remarkable and his fu-
ture was very promising. He had
been indisposed for a short while.
Thinking he had an attack of grippe
he left his room too soon and was
taken with relapse, when it was
found that he had typhoid fever.
All that could be done to spare his
life was done, but the Divine Ruler
willed it otherwise and he was cal
led to that great beyond. He died
at the home of his sister, Mrs. w.
r. Strange. His remains were
taken here through New Orleans
and inferred in St. Johns Cemetery
on Saturday morning after servicen
at the Episcopal Church. The re-
mains were followed to their last
resting place by large following
of friends and relatives. Deceased
is native of this parish, he was born
on Rienzi plantation, where his pee
pie lived while the plantation was
owned by the late Mr.. Richard AL
len. He left here while quite a
boy, but there are many who re-
member him as he returned
several times to visit his native
place.

Lafayette recently organized
q woman's civic league. Ii only
followed in the wake of other
progressive towns throughout
the state. Opelousas, Crowley
Shreveport, Baton Rouge, New
Iberia, Morgan City, Ruston and
numerous other places have
their lady organizations who do
other things than play euchre.
They discuss civic improvements,
point out to the city fathers
needed improvements, correct
evils and thereby asst their
respective communities to a great
extent. Men folks can not re-
fuse requests made by ladies as
they can refuse those offered
by men. Suggestions are needed
more so when coming from
ladies than from men, for they
do not dare send the ladies to
the warm places.
The good to come from such
organizations is evident wherever
the leagues exist. Crowley cele-
brated the tenth anniversary of
its lady's league last week and
Opelousas has had its league for
some four or five years. The same
good work has been accomplished
by the ladies in numerous towns
without spending one cent OF
money. In conjunction literary
and debating is made pleasure
and pastime and much inteilec.
