Procure a wide-mouthed bottle,

inserted the pipe of a tin or q glass

wax, make air and water tight all the
crevices that night leak, both between
funnel and cork and bottle.
Half fill the flask with water, and
throw in the two well-known powders
that are used to make settler water
(tartaric acid and bicarbonate Of
soda), which can be bought at drug

formation, through the funnel. But If

FEATHEREb TRIBE IN PLAY
Whole Bird Family May Be Repre-
scented In Game Played by
Boys and Girls.

A playground or a picnic woods is
an especially good place for this
game. One of the players is chosen
as mother bird" and two other play
ers are selected for hawks" The
other players are given the names of
several feathered creatures. Five or
six may be called sparrows, two or
three robins, a few might be known
as bluebirds, while still another group
might take the name of another bird,
such as oriole.
AS soon as the birds are named by
their mother they move their arms
up and down, to initiate a flying mo-
ton, as they fly to the forest" which
is one corner of the play space set
apart for the game.
The mother" flies to the nest"
which is the corner diagonally oppo-
site to the forest" Each of the
hawks flies to one of the two other
corners, for each hawk has his own
nest. The mother bird calls: ut is
time the orioles were tucked In bed"
The orioles then fly from the forest
to the nest, trying to avoid being
caught by either Of the hawks, which
chase them.
When bird is captured by hawk
it is taken to the hawks nest. The
birds, once reaching the mothers nest
in safety, cannot be caught by the
hawks unless they accidentally go
outside the boundary of their home
The mother bird calls for all of the
birds, just as she did for the orioles
and the hawks continue their efforts
! to capture them. At the end of the
first game two of the captured play
ers become hawks for the next game

Little Diapepsln.

There should not be a case of indiges-

ers who are subject to Stomach trou-
BILE knew the tremendous antiferment
and digestive virtue contained in Dia-
pepsin. This harmless preparation
will digest a heavy meal without
the slightest fuss or discomfort, and
relieve the sourest, acid stomach in
five minutes, besides overcoming all
foul, nauseous odors from the breath.
If your stomach is sour and full of
gas, or your food doesn't digest, and
your meal don't seem to fit, why not
get a 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin
from any druggist here in town, and
make life worth living. Absolute re-
lief from Stomach misery and perfect
digestion of anything you eat is sure
to follow five minutes after, and be-

to cure whole family of such trouble,
Surely, a harmless, inexpensive
preparation like Pape's Diapepsin
which will always either at daytime
or during night, relieve your sick,
sour, gassy, upset stomach and digest
your meals, is about as handy and val.

the gas can only escape at intervals,
one or other of the balls always re
turning, in virtue of the force of gray
ity, to seal the orifice of the funnel,
until such time as the pressure of the
escaping gases suffices once more to
lift the ball. At such an instant part
of the gas escapes, the pressure in.

same ball falls into the aperture
These phenomena continue, and if you
have painted the balls in different col
