ally cultivated " many OF the
dears mingie artistically with the
hobble skirts which catch the mis-

what about the lavish rats and
puffs and hats? Do they follow
good sense and good form always?
OF course such things may do well
enough for those who have plenty
Of money and some discretion, but
for those who contribute to the
general good, and to the well fare
Of others, are they the proper and
logical thing? I have watched you

Of course that you can apply this

NO DYSPEPSIA
OR STOMACHGAS

YOUR OUT-OF-ORDER STOM-
AcH FEEL FINE IN ABOUT FIVE
MINUTES.

million stomach sufferers in the United
States, England and Canada take
Pape's Diapepsin, and realize not only
immediate, but lasting relief.
This harmless preparation will digest
anything you eat and overcome sour,
gaSsy or out-of-order stomach five
minutes afterwards.
If your meals don't fit comfortably,
or what you eat lies like lump OF
lead in your stomach, or if you have
heartburn, that Is sign of Indigestion.
Get from your Pharmacist a 50cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take
a dose just as soon as you can. There
will be no sour rising, no belching of
undigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, Dizziness or
Intestinal gripping. This will all go,
and, besides, there will be no sour food
left over in the stomach to poison your
breath with nauseous odors.
Papes Diapepsin is a certain cure
for out of order stomachs, because IT
takes hold of your food and digests it
just the same as if your stomach
wasn't there.
Relief in five minutes from all stom-
ach misery is waiting for you at any
drug store.
These large 50-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to thoroughly cure
almost any case of Dyspepsia, Indiges-
ton or any other stomach disorder.

by the United States three quarters Of
a century ago, and Fort McRee was
constructed in the period between 1880
and 1910.
In 1859 there took place the first
settlement of Pensacola, conducted by
Don Tristan De Luna. Charles V If
Spain had listened to the entreaties OF
the bishop of Cuba and the viceroy CT
Mexico and had been prevailed upon
to attempt settlement in Florida,
whose immense advantages, bestowed
by prodigal Nature, had even at that
date begun to be recognized. De Luna
entered the beautiful bay, which ne
called Santa Maria and landed. The
city was that time called Puerta dan
chusi. At or near the site of the pres

base of operations, and from here. he
conducted many explorations into the
interior. De Luna soon afterwards
grew discouraged and returned to his
native land. but the date of his orig

has had an interesting history, too.
The government of the United States
had gone to no inconsiderable expense
in building forts around the mouth If
the bay and during the war between
the states there was much active
fighting here. Within forty eight
hours after Florida seeded from the
union the Confederate forces had pos

rancas and Fort McRee on the main
land. but throughout the conflict tho
federals held possession of Fort Pick

From the navy yard to Fort McRee
was made a continuous line Of fortiii-
cations, nearly five miles in total
length and made up of a score Of bat
teries.
