ENDS STOMACH TROUBLE
Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Gas or lndses-

AS there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack Of In
digestion or some form of Stomach
trouble, why don't you keep some Di-
apepsin in the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort and overcome a
sour, gassy stomach five minutes af-
ter.
Tell your pharmacist to let you
read the formula, plainly printed on
these so cent cases of Pape's Diapep-
sin, then you will readily see why it
makes Indigestion, Sour Stomach,
Heartburn and other distress go In
five minutes, and relieves at once
such miseries as Belching of Gas,
Fluctuations Of sour, undigested food,
Nausea, Headaches, Dizziness. Consti-
patton and other Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to
find relief from Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia or an out Of order stomach
with the common, everyday cures adj
vertised that they have something
else wrong, or believe theirs is a case
of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of
the Stomach or Cancer.
This, no doubt is serious mistake
Your real trouble is, what you eat
does not digest; instead it ferments
and sours, turns to acid, Gas and Sto
mach poison, which putrefy in the
digestive tract and intestines, and
besides poison the breath with naus

was electrically illuminated and when
the statement is made that literally
thousands of roses and clusters Of
wistaria trailed in graceful lines over
the rafters, while the columns were
entwined by the most beautiful white,

Why The Postoffiee Doesn't
Pay.

zone of the reasons that the
postoffice department is being
run at a loss is that the gov
ernment is paying the railroads
too much for carrying of the
mails. Congress has just APP
propriated S46,000,000 for car
rying the mails in of the fiscal
year 1911. This sum is more
than double the anoual. tie e1-

Gus complaint can be justly
made against the business meth

in the rental OF postoffice cars
from the railroads of the coun-
try. In addition to paying the
railroads so much q pound for
the hauling of the mails, the
government, in its unexampled
generosity, also hands over
S4, 100000 each gear for rental
of cars in which the mails are
hauled. A parallel case would
be one which would require a
person to buy railroad ticket
to a certain poi and then pay
a fee for the pr Iege Of sitting

"The most ri< l)ous feature
of the car rental situation is
yet to be told, however. While
the entire cost Of construction

$1,000 each, the government
pays an annual rental on these
cars Of $3.50. 10. The average
