PUTS AN END TO DYSPEPSIA
Indigestion, Heartburn, Gas and all
Dyspepsia Misery Vanishes

Take your sour, out-of-order stom-
ach-or maybe you call it Indiges-
ton, Dyspepsia, Gastritis or Catarrh
of Stomach; it doesn't matter-take
your stomach trouble right with you
to your Pharmacist and ask him to
open a 50-cent case of Pape's Diapep-
sin and let you eat one 22-grain Trian
guile and see if within five minutes
there is left any trace of your former
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 fullness, after eating,
vomiting, nausea, heartburn, gripping
in bowels, tenderness in the pit Of
stomach, bad taste in mouth, consti-
patton, pain in limbs, sleeplessness,
belching of gas, biliousness, sick
headache, nervousness, dizziness or
many other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle and moth
ing 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 undgested food
Prove to yourself in FIVE minutes
that your stomach is as good as any
that there is nothing really wrong
Stop this fermentation and begin eat
ing what you want without fear OF
discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting fol
you 1t is merely a matter of how
soon you take a little Diapepsin.

UN|ONIST PARTY
SUNDERED BY
BALFOUR
His Position Attacked by
Premier ACquith
TARIFF BECOMES AN ISSUE
Winston Churchill Campaigning With
Body Guard for Protection
Against suffragettes

London, Dec. 2.-There is posi-
bility of an unlooked-for result in the
attempt of A. j. Balfour, the opposi-
ton leader, of Great Britain to re-
move tariff reform from the mined
late field of politics. The question
doomed larger than ever in the cam
paign last night, insomuch that Mr.
Balfour himself, in speech at Read
ing, was fan to explain that his par
ty had not altered its views on this
subject, and that tariff reform was
still a chief plank in the party's con
struction policy, but, he explained,
the unionists needed to obtain the for
NAL and explicit consent of the peo-
pie thereto The policy of referen-
DUN, he said, was consistent with the
true idea of popular government. The
fact is that Mr. Balfours pronounce
ment on November 30, that he was
willing to submit tariff reform to a
referendum, has rather sundered
than knit his party and supplied the
liberals with another effective argu-
ment against tariff reform, namely
that Mr.. Balfour has been compelled
TO side-track it.
The interest in the speeches last
night conferred in Premier Asquith's
reply to the opposition leader. This
was delivered at a great meeting at
Wolverhampton The premier said.
1--WE are living in times of rapid
movement, when it is a relief to
wake any morning and not find some
fresh part of the constitution recon-
structed" He described Mr.. Bal
tours "tournabout face on the ques-
tons of the reform Of the House Of
Lords and tariff reform q unique-al-
most indecent. He said that he
could not imagine a greater carica-
ture of the referendum than in put
ting a few abstract questions TO the
people without concrete embodiment
of their proposals If any one but a
sane and responsible statesman had
contemplated such a scheme, he
would be called a mailman. After Z
study of the working of the referen
dun in foreign countries, the premier
continued, he had arrived at the con
cluson that II had proved a most un
satisfactory and disappointing meth
cd of ascertainlng public opinion.
