Roller Skating and Pictures at Rink

Two public roller skating and NOV
ing picture sessions are held at the
Select Roller Rink. one in the after
noon and one in the evening. Both
sessions are popular always. but,
naturally enough, the evening session
is more largely patronized because
many are not able to go i'm the after
noon on account of their work.
This state of affairs makes the after
noon session particularly desirable as
time for learning to skate. Fred
Murree, the Indian champion. is at the
Rink every afternoon and evening, and
is always glad to aid the beginners.

A Little Diapepsin Now Will
Make You Feel Fine.
0ut.of.order Stomachs are Regu-
lated in Just About Five Minutes.

AS there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack of Indi-
gestion or some form of stomach
trouble, why don't you keep some
Diapepsin in the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
|anything you can eat without the
sour, gassy Stomach five minutes
after.
Tell your pharmacist to let you read
| the formula, plainly printed on these
50-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will readily see why it makes
Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heart
burn and other distress go in five
minutes, and relieves at once such
miseries as Belching of Gas, Eructa-
tons of sour. undigested food, Nausea,
| Headaches, Dizziness, Constipation
ard other Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to find
relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia
| or an out Of order stomach with the
| common every day cures advertised
| that they have about made up their
minds that they have something else
wrong. or believe theirs is a case Of
Nervousness, Gastrtis, Catarrh of the
Stomach or Cancer.
This. no doubt. is a serious mistake.
Your real trouble is, waht you eat does
not digest: instead, il ferments and
seurs, turns to acid, Gas and Stomach
poison. which putrefy in the digestive
tract and intestines. and besides,
poison the breath with nauseous odors.
A hearty appetite, with thorough di-
gestion, and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery off the Stomach. is

to try Pape's Diapepsin.
