Wieler's baritone make fine combination. The mum bers allotted to the tenor, Louis D. Ginand will bring out the fine quail ties of his sweet tenor voice, and in the duet with the soprano will be an opportunity for some very fine effects.

 Tn Five Minutes

Wonder what upset your stomach which portion of the food did the damage-do you? We'll, don't bother. If your stomach is in revolt. if sour, gassy and upset, and what you just ate has fermented into stubborn Jumps; your head dizzy and aches; belch gases and acids and eructate undigested food; breath foul, tongue coated-just take little Diapepsin and in five minutes you truly will wonder what became of the indiges- tioh and distress.
 Millions of men and women today know that it is needless to have a bad stomach. A little Diapepsin oc- casionally keeps this delicate organ regulated, and they eat their favorite foods without fear.
 If your stomach doesn't take care of your liberal limit without rebellion; if your food is damage instead of a help, remember the quickest, surest, most harmless relief is Pape's Dia- pcpsin which costs only fifty cents for a large case at drug stores. It's truly wonderful-it digests food and sets things straight. so gently and easily that it is really astonishing. Please, for your sake, don't go on and on with weak, disordered stom- achs it's so unnecessary.-Adv.

sWINDLERS AND SNEAK
 THIEVES SEEK SPOILS

Warning Is issued to the public against the operation of petty sneak thieves and swind1ers who are thought to be working in Bridgeport The sum of $20 was secured on Saturday in the offices of Gould & Gould from Miss Kathleen Blight, whose handbag was lifted from a desk during the noon hour by daring thief It was found in a nearby lodge room within an hour, rif1ed of it's contents.
 Another petty swindler. whose oper- ations in Stamford have netted little but whose game is c1everly hidden be- meath the gilise of acquaintance with a friend, is sought for here. Introduc- ing hinse1f a. tailor, with inti- mate acquaintance of friends of the intended victim, he so ingratiates him self into confidence that attempts to secure money under various pretexts are readily met. One Stamford ner- chant was nearly vfctimized of a large sum through the attempt to cash a bogus check bearing his brother-in- laws name. Discovery was made in the nick of time but the swindler evaded pursuit.
 pr. F. M. Tuckey reported that an expensive automobile robe was stolen from his machine on Saturday while at the corner of Warren and State streets.
