PUTS AN END TO INDIGESTION AND
A SOUR, Classy, UPSET STOMACH.

Dizziness. Constipation and other
Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to find
relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia
or an out-of-ordcr stomach with the
common everyday cures advertised
that they have about made up their
minds 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 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. poi
son the breath with nauseous odors.
A hearty appetite, with thorough di-
gestion. 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.

EX-GOVERNOR HOARD ON THE MIL
WAUKEE CONVENTION.

The statement has frequently been
made within the past few days that
the recent state meeting of Republi-
cans in Milwaukee was simply a re-
juvenation of what they once termed
the eleventh floor league" of old
time stalwsrts. and that none who
formerly trained under the designa-
tion of half breeds" took any part
in the convention.
The papers making this statement
did not make il because it was true
but because they hoped their readers
would be duped into believing it was
true.
Gov. Hoard was one of the most
prominent half breeds and he was a
prominent and honored member of the
Milwaukee convention. In his pa
per, the Fort Atkinson Union. he
speaks of the meeting as follows:
The gathering of that mighty host
of Republicans in Milwaukee on We'd
nesday in demonstration of their loyal
support of President Taft and his eff
forts to redeem the pledges given in
the national convention, was one of
the most significant political events in
the history of Wisconsin. y Let
it be plainly understood that this con-
vention was composed of hundreds of
men, stalwarts and half-breeds. who
have grown heartily tired of the eff
fort certain leaders have been making
to make them disloyal to President
Taft. They are tired of the effort to
divide and disintegrate the Republi-
can party. They are still Republicans,
filled with old-time loyalty TO a loyal
leader. And so they came together to
say to the world, "We stand by Presi-
dent Taft" and stand by him they will.
Mr.. Hoard was from the outset a
powerful advocate of the plan of max
ing no nominations and combining the
platform of the convention to few
brief declarations regarding matters
on which the delegates could feel that
their minds were fully made up
With regard to President Taft he
said:
There never was a more sincere,
brave or patriotic man in the presi-
Dental chair than William Howard
Taft. 1t is burning shame that Wis
consin Republicans in congress have
been his enemies, have entered into a
conspiracy to traduce him and pre-
vent him doing all he could do in be-
half of the country. But even Lincoln
in 1864 found plenty of traitors in his
own camp. Like the poor, they are
always with us.
