thoroughly familiar. Nearly as well
and active as ever, she still insists
on performing part of the housework.
Three of her family of four sons live
near her. She lived during the ad-
ministration Of every President of
the United States except four, has
seen the birth and success of every
modern inventor, and hopes to see
the time when the electric car shall

noted for it's longevity, 1t is probable
that her wish will be gratified. and
that she will then keep on until she
masses the century mark.

USUALLY ONE DOSE !. ENDS INDIGESTION AND GAS
No Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Gas or Headache Five
 Minutes Later

If what you just ate is souring on your stomach or lies like a lump of lead, refusing to digest, or you belch gas and eructate sour, undigested food or have a feeling of dizziness, heart burn, fullness, nausea, bad taste in mouth and stomach headache-this is indigestion.
 A full ease of Pape s Diapepsin costs only 50 cents and will thoroughly cure your out.of order stomach, and leave sufficient about the house in case some one else in the family may suffer from stomach trouble or indigestion.
 Ask your pharmacist Go show you the formula plainly printed on these 5O-cent cases, then you will under stand why dyspeptie trouble of all kinds must go, and why they usually relieve sour, out-of-ordef stomaches or indigestion in five minutes. Diapepsin is harmless and tastes like candy, though each dose contains power sufi- eient to digest and prepare for assimi- lation into the blood all the food you eat; besides, it makes you go to the table with healthy appetite; but, what will please you most is that you will feel that your stomach and intes- tines are clean and fresh, and you will not need to resort to laxatives or liver pills for billiouness or constipation.
 This city will have many Diapepsin eranks, as some people will call them, but you w" be cranky about this splendid stomach preparation, too, if you ever try little for indigestion or gastritis or any other stomach misery.
 Get some now, this minute, and for ever rid yourself of stomach trouble and indigestion.
