At the meeting OF the committee to-
Day no time was consumed in discuss
u,
the exception OF Mr.. Bennett, the COM
inittce was unanimous III it's opinion
that the best thing 10 do under tile Cir
cuHlstances was TO report the resolu-
tons adversely. without Identifying
them WithS an argumcntativc report,
ana thus demonstrate that the resolu-
mons were not taken seriously by the
House OF Representatives. and should
not be taken seriously elsewhere.
Unusual Procedure Followed
me meeting OF a. committee to con-
slider resolutions introduced Just TWEEN
ty-four hours previously is extremely
unusual. In this case the friends of
reciprocity thought 1t wise to sit down
hard on the Bennett resolutions a this
earliest possible opportunity
soon after the Bennett resolutions
We're dropped in tho basket yesterday
afternoon. Representative Tawney,
chairman Of the House Appropriations
Committee, sought Chairman Foster,
Of the Foreign Affairs COMMITTEES. and
suggested the advisability OF n meet
Ing OF that committee to-day to report
adversely on the resolutions. and
thereby forestall any possibility OF
MI Bennet's action being taken Sc
riously in Great Britain or the Do
minion or Canada, or being used a an
argument by those in the two coun g.
tries mentioned who arc unfriendly
to the reciprocal trade agreement now
pending Mr.. rawney also suggested
that Secretary Knox be called before
the committee.

President TAFT called Mr.. Foster ana
requested him to call his committee
together and take an early vote on tho
! resolutions. 1t was decided that the
committee should meet at II o'clock
this morning. and the President was
assured that there was no doubt the

NO MORE DISTRESS
FROM STOMACH OR
INDIGESTION

If your meals don't fit comfortably
or you feel bloated after eating, and
you believe 1t is the food which fills
you; if what little you eat lies like a
lump of lead on your stomach; il
there is difficulty in breathing after
eating, eructations of sour, undigest-
ed food and acid, heartburn, brash or
belching Of gas, you can make up
your mind that you need something
to stop food fermentation and cure
Indigestion.
To make every bite of food you eat
aid in the nourishment and strength
of your body, you must rid your
stomach Of pOisOns, excessive acid
and stomach gas, which sours your
entire meal-interferes with diges-
tion and causes so many sufferers OF
Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Bilious
ness, Constipation, Gripping, etc
Your case is no different-you are a
stomach sufferer, though you may
call 1t by some other name; your
real and only trouble is that which
you eat does not digest, but quickly
ferments and sours, producing al
most any unhealthy condition.
A case of Papes Diapepsin will
cost fifty cents at any Pharmacy
here, and will convince any stomach
sufferer five minutes after taking a
single dose that Fermentation and
Sour Stomach is causing the misery
of Indigestion.
No matter If you call your trouble
Catarrh of the Stomach, Nervousness
or Gastritis, or by any other name
always remember that a certain cure
is waiting at any drug store the mo-
ment you decide to begin its use.
Pape's Diapepsin will regulate any
out-of-order stomach within five min
utes, and digest promptly, without
any fuss or discomfort, all of any
kind of food you eat.
