STOMACH MISERY

No Indigestion, Heartbur n
Gas or Dyspepsia Five
Minutes Later

As there is often some one i'm your
family who suffers an attack of Indi-
gestion or some form Of Stomach
trouble, why don't you keep some
Diapepsin 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 50-cent cases of Pape's Diapep-
sin. then you will readily see why II

Heartburn and other distress go in
five minutes, and relieves at once such
miseries as Belching of Gas, Eructa-
tions of sour, undigested food, Maui
sea, Headaches. Dizziness, Constipa-
tion and other Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to
find relief from Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia or an out-or-order stomach
with the common, everyday cures ad-
vertised that they have about made
up their minds that they have some-
thing else wrong, or believe theirs is
case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Ca
tarrh of the Stomach or Cancer.
This, no doubt, is a serious mistake
Your real trouble is, what you eat
does not digest; instead, It ferments
and sours, turns to acid, Gas and
Stomach poison, which putrefy in the
digestive tract and intestines, and
besides, poison the breath with nause-
Gus Odors.
A hearty appetite, with thorough d.
gestioD, and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery Of the Stomach
is waiting for you as soon as you
decide to try Pape's Diapepsin.

Has Dispute With Committee and
Leaves Irish-American Club.

NEW YORK, September 22.-Melvin W.
Sheppard will run at the East End Athletic
Association games Saturday an unat-
tached athlete. This detection from the ranks
Of the Irish-American Athletic Club caused
no end of comment yesterday among fol-
lowers of athletics when the news be-
came known. Sheppard's decision to de-
sert the club under whose colors he has
done the best portion of his running was
arrived at because Of supposed state
ment made by p. J. Conway president of
the rish-American Athletic Club, at a
directors meeting of that club a week
ago Monday night.
bad" with the Irish organization because
Of his failure to turn up in time at the
senior metropolitan championships, VIC
tory in which Sheppard would have turned
the point score from the New York Ath-
letic Club to the winged fist
Since then all sorts OF rumOrs have been
flying about to the effect that Sheppard
was stopped from competing in a win
ming way by some one who had offered
him the sum of $3.50 in order to make
sure of New York Athletic Club VIC
tory. Sheppard resents any such imputa-
ton, and threatens to make 1t warm for
the person or persons who circulated the
story.
That he is very much incersed over the
rumors and the feeling of the Irish ath-
letic club toward him was shown in his
withdrawal of his entry as an Irish ath-
letic club representative at the East End
games. and HIS insistence that he be
carded unattached
At any rate, he announces temporary
cessation from athletic activities after
next Saturday, which meet he will attend
and run in the half mile only to keep
faith with the promoters.
