STOMACH MISERY
JUST VANISHES
TIME IT! NO INDIGESTION, GAS
OR souRNEss FIVE MINUTES
AFTER TAKING "PAPE's DIAPEP-
SIN"

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like a lump of
lead, refusing to digest. or you belch gas
and eructate sour, undigested food. or
have a feeling of dizziness. Heartburn,
f%ullness, nausea, bad taste in mouth
and stomach headache-this is indi-
gestion. ....
A full case of Pape's Diapepsin costs
only fifty cents and will thoroughly
cure your out-of-order stomach, and
leave sufficient about the house in case
SOM one else in the family may suf-
fer from stomach trouble or indiges-
ton.
ASK your pharmacist to show you
the formula plainly printed on these
hfty-cent cases, then you will under
stand why dyspeptic trouble of all
kinds must go, n why they usually
relieve sour, out-of-order stomachs or
indigestion in Ave minutes. Diapep-
sin is harmless n tastes like candy,
though each dose contains power suf-
icient to digest and prepare for as
similation into the blood all the food
you eat; besides, it makes you go to
the table with a healthy appetite; but,
what will please you most, is that you
will feel that your stomach and intes-
tines are clean and fresh, and you
will not need to resort to laxatiyes or
liver pills for ~biliousness or constipa-
ton.
This city will have many Diapepsin
cranks, as some people call them, but
you will be cranky about this splendid
stomach preparation, too, if you ever
try a little for indigestion or gastritis
or any other stomach misery.
Get some now, this minute, and for
ever rid yourself of stomach trouble
and indigestion. Adv.

Press Comment

New York Journal of Commerce:
There was concealed in the column
inous postofice appropriation DILL
passed near the close of h session Of
congress, where it attracted no pubic
attention and caused little discussion
in either house, a provision requiring
the editor, publisher business manager
or owner Of every newspaper, maya
zine, periodical or other publication to
file with the postmaster general twice
a year, and publish in its second issue
after the filing, a sworn statement set
ting forth the ans and addresses OF
its editor and managing editor, pub
Usher, business managers n owners
and of the stockholders, II owned by
a corporation, and also he names or
b~ondholdeFs, mortgages and other Sc
curity holders. In the case of daily
newspapers 1t requires a statement OF
the average of the umbe OF copies
of each issue Of said publication sold
or distributed to paid subscribers dur
ing the preceding six months" The
penalty for falling to comply with such
requirement within ten Gays after no.
tice of such failure is the denial OF
.'the privileges OF the mail" There Is
another requirement that In editorial
or other reading matter, FOR the pup
location Of which money or other VAL
liable consideration Is paid, accepted or
promised, shall be plainly marked 'ad
Vertisement,' and the penalty for VIZ
olating this is a fine of $50 to 5000.
This is construed as applying TO no
tees, reviews or criticisms of books
and theatrical performances.
1t is hardly necessary to dwell upon
the reprehensible' practice of enacting
in this insiduous and half-concealed
manner provisions of law affecting
rights of property or a large business
interest, or the injustice or applying 1t
to the particular business of p~uryeying
news or disseminating information,
and enlightening or shaping public
opinion. 1t is hard to conceive of any
motive for it, unless 1T be a desire to
establish espionage, supervision or re-
straint over the press of the country In
behalf of the government or those who
have part in the exercise of its pow
ers. 1t is a serious question whether 1T
does not fall under the constitutional
prohibition of making any law "abridg-
ing the reedom of speech or of the
press" and whether 1T may not have
the effect of impairing the value OF
| property in some cases, thereby de-
without due process of law" 1t is al
together doubtful whether such an en-
actment comes within the constitution
| al power of the federal congress In
any case. 1t is absolutely certain that
withholding the privileges of the mail
as a means OF furnishing a failure to
comply with sue requirements would
be an enormous bus or such power.
The mail service Of the government for
every legitimate purpose of business
should be open to all alike, n il 1T
can be closed against any one class as
a penalty for anything that may be
made an offense by doubtful enactment,
there IL hardly q limit that can be set

SOME BASEBALL.

The baseball fans have been treated
to a heart disease finish in the worlds
championship baseball series. An
early game went to extra innings.
Then, after Boston apparently had the
series all tied up, New York came to
the front in a desperate fight and made
the victories three each. This was
possible through a tactical error of
Manager Stahl of Boston in permitting
the players to persuade him into
pitching O'Brien, when he had planned
to send Collins in.
But the real heart disease came
when the deciding game of the series
was won by Boston In an extra in
ming contest. The final battle had
gross errors at crucial stages-but it
had its brilliant and sensational spots.
Stahl used excellent judgment in send
ing in pinch hitters at the psychology
ical moment and for once appeared to
have eXcelled the crafty McGraw in
cunning, who failed to start the series
with Marquard.
There were man other features of
the final ga1ne-among them the con-
elusive evidence of the passing Of the
great Mathewson. despite his wonder
full game-and the demonstration of
the remarkable ability of Wood of
Boston.
The games were more evenly match
ed than any former worlds series.
Once again the honesty Of the great
American game has been v~indicated.
Of course the players and the club
owners have made money-but there
will be few to raise the cry Of fraud,
games purposely tied, or additional
games played for the sake OF adding
more gold to the already overlooking
of the team owners
Now that the worlds championship
has peer decided the American people
can resume the matter of electing
presidents-and filling other political
offices.

usURIoUs INTEREST.

In Germany the farmers pay an av-
erage of 81 to AZ per cent interest
on the money they borrow. In the
United States the farmers pay an av-
erage of 81 per cent. Many OF them
have to pay II. In addition to the av-
erage per cent they pay premiums
and bonuses on loans-which increases
the cost of money to an u~nreasonably
high rate.
President Taft, in a letter to the
governors of the different states, has
urged united action to protect the
farmers of the country. In fact his
letter should arouse the farmers them
selves to the injustice OF the present
conditions.
The farmer who borrows money
usually puts a mortgage on his farm or
his live stock or his crops to guarantee
the loan. No better security-at a
reasonable appraisement-can be given
than land at the present time. with
such collateralEthe farmer should get a
lower rate of interest. In this connec-
ton President Taft emphasizes a very
important feature in the following
paragraph:
Again, the interest rate paid by the
American farmer is considerably high
er than that paid by our industrial
corporations. railroads or municipal
ties. Yet, I think, it will be admitted
that the security offered by the farmer
in his farm lands is quite as sound
as that offered by Industrial corpora
tons. Why, then, will not the investor
furnish the farmer with money at ais
advantageous rates as he is willing to
supply 1t to the Industrial corproa
ti0ng? obviously, the advantage en-
joyed by the industrial corporation
lies in the financial machinery at It's
command, which permits it to place
It's offer before the investor in a more
attractive and more readily negotiable
form. The farmer lacks this machin-
cry, and lacking 1t, he suffers unreal
sonably. This lis not theory.
The farmers collateral should be
better than stocks and bonds. In the
Last analysis land is the basis Of ali

HIGHWAYS.

congressman Warburton Of Wash
ington is to introduce a bill at the next
session of congress for a national good
roads movement. He proposes roads
from Maine to Florida, with a. number
OF interesting roads in the east-one
along the gulf to Texas-another to
Chicago n T~opeka-the Chicago
road to run by the win cities. Fargo.
Bismarck and onto the coast. There
are to be several roads up and down
the Pacific coast-with various inter
secting lines.
The cost OF these roads is estimated
at from 100000 to $4,000 per mile. If
the former cost, tho money can be
raised in four years, If the latter 1t
will take about five. It Is proposed to
make the roads sixteen feet wide with
a concrete base, hard surface of either
asphalt or vitrifed brick, the surface
dustless. It is also planned to have as
easy grades as possible.
Think of the loads the farmers could
haul to market over such roadways!
Think how quickly they could drive to
town on such highways! Think of the
joys Of bicycling, motorcycling and au-
toing over thousands of miles of such
roads!
The congressman proposes eventual
ly to connect every state capital with
these roads at the expense of the ma
ttonal government. leaving the routes
to be decided by the different states
but with the general purpose of max
ing the roads as direct as is conVen-
lent.
The most unique thing about Con-
gresham Warburton's plan is the
manner in which he expects to raise
the funds for this great work. He is
planning to make the tobacco users
foot the bill. They must pay more for
their luxury. He proposes to restore
the original internal revenue tax paid
in 1S79-and in this way raise about
$50, 600, 900 annually.
The increase in the internal revenue
to the figures of the era mentioned bv
the congressman would create the fund
all right. The only people at all like
ly to protest against his plan are the
tobacco users. Their names are le-
gion-but many of them also own au-
tos and wagons and other vehicles.
Probably they would not oppose the
increased tax-with the none to be
spent for such a laudable purpose as
national highways.
There are untold advantages for the
road-in addition to it's value for trav-
ell. One Of the benefits would be to
greatly increase the value of the land
mot only adjoining-but for many
miles on either side of each highway.
But the chief value would be the in
centive the national highways would
be to state n county road building.
Every state will have one of these
roads. This will make each common
wealth take more interest in it's own
road construction. Every county will
show more enthusiasm, Every COM
munity adjacent to the national roads
will want fine connecting lines.
These will be extended indefinitely.
h Forum believes CONGRESSMAN
Warburton has struck a big lead in his
road bill and hopes 1t will become a
law.
