Dirty air is death.

Too much fresh air is just enough.
Fresh air is the best life assurance

Bad air and high temperature in

Plenty of good fresh air will make

Smallpox is disgrace. Save your
reputation and your face by vaccina-

Quarantine may temporarily post
pone smallpox; vaccination positive
ly prevents it. Which will you have?
Quarantine of smallpox is an un-
certain and expensive means of pro-
lection; vaccination is a positively
certain and inexpensive means of
protection.
Quarantine is inequitable. The
majority of the people have been
vaccinated, and therefore, secure
no protection from quarantine They
are already absolutely protected by
vaccination.
Vaccination is duty we owe our
selves, our children, and our neigh
bors. Smallpox is the punishment
threatening those who neglect this
duty.

senate. Senator Beyeridge, OF lndi-

brought in minority report declar-
ing that Lorimer must have known of
the bribery practice in his behalf and
urging that he be expelled from the

Senator Lorlmer began speaking at

Efforts have been made to cover

tell the whole truth about the cleo

to do so. He said that when Shurt-
left was elected speaker of the house,

said, because of the conditions which

ABSOLUTELY ENDS
STOMACH MISERY
OR The DYSPEPSIA

The question as to how long you
are going to continue a sufferer from
Indigestion, Dyspepsia or out-of-or-
der Stomach is merely a matter of
how soon you begin taking some
Diapepsin.
If your Stomach is lacking in di-
gestive power, why not help the
stomach to do it's work, not with
drastic drugs, but a reinforcement
of digestive agents, such as are nat
urally at work in the stomach.
People with weak Stomachs should
take a little Diapepsin occasionally,
and there will be no more Indiges-
tion, no feeling like a lump of lead
in the stomach, no heartburn, sour
risings, Gas on Stomach or Belching
of undigested food, Headaches, Dir
ziness or Sick Stomach, and, besides,
what you eat will not ferment and
poison your breath with nauseous
odors All these symptoms resulting
from sour out-of-order stomach
and dyspepsia are generally relieved
in five minutes after taking a little
Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist and get a 90
cent case Of Pape's Diapepsin now
and you will always go to the table
with a hearty appetite, and what you
eat will taste good, because your
stomach and intestines will be clean
and fresh, and you will know there
are not going to be any more bad
nights and miserable days for you.
They freshen you and make you feel
like life is worth living.

Washington, Feb. ga final vote
was expected in the senate today on
the resolution calling for the unseat-
ing of Senator Lorimer Of Illinois
The vote was expected to follow the
conclusion Of speech by Lorimer in
his own defense.
Friends of Senator Lorimer were
confident that he would be indicated
Forty-five of the 81 members of the
senate, they said, would cast their
votes to whitewash the blonde
boss If Lorimer himself failed to
vote, this would mean a tie, in which
event the resolution declaring his
seat vacant would be lost,
Never in American political his
tory has there been a case of al
legged legislative corruption which
has caused greater furore than the
accusations against Lorimer. For
weeks the Illinois legislature had
been deadlocked over the election of
a U. S, senator, many of the Repub-
licans, who were in control, refusing
to vote for Albert J. Hopkins, the
leading candidate and complimentary
votes were cast for almost every
prominent man in the state.
Then, one night, the name of Will
liam Lorlmer, the blonde boss" of
Chicago, was mentioned and the next
day he was elected to the office.
At first the state and the nation
We're stunned, Then reports of graft
came thick and fast. Soon a Chicago
newspaper published a confession by
Representative Charles A. White that
Lee ONeil Browne Democratic
leader in the legislature, had paid
$3.50 to vote for Lorimer, Represen-
tatiyes Robert Wilson. Michael Tink
and Senator's D. w, Hotslaw and
Broderick We're indicted for corrup-
tion and the newspapers "camped on
the trail of the alleged crooks.
Though Holtslaw subsequently
confessed that he had received $25OO
from Broderick to vote for Lorimer
and White stuck fast to his conten-
tion that he had been bribed by
Browne, the latter was acquitted af-
ter two trials, In them 1t was al
legged that sufficient crooked votes to
elect Lorimer had been paid for by
the division of Jackpot" in St.
Louis.
Then the Legislative Voters League,
of Chicago, took a hand and, present
ing the alleged facts to the United
States senate, demanded that Lori
mer be ousted from his seat. The
committee on privileges and elections
referred the matter to sub-commit-
tee for investigation, of which COM
mittee Senator Burrows of Michigan
is chairman but only after an Inn
FASHIONED demand had been made in
the senate by Lorimer himself for an
investigation,
After the examination Of number
of witnesses, excluding. however,
some of the more important, the Bur
rows subcommittee decided to white
