After the death of her husband,
Mrs. Netcher assumed control Of the
store and has conducted the business

stantly increasing her holdings in real

ness increased.

STOMACH MISERY
JUST VANISHES
Time Itl No indigestion, Gas or Sour
ness Five Minutes After Taking
"Pape's Diapepsin."

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, fullness, nausea, bad taste
in mouth and stomach headche-this
is indigestion.
A full case Of Papes Diapepsin costs
only fifty cents and will thoroughly
cure your Out-of-order stomach, and
leave sufficient about the house in
case some one else in the family may
suffer from stomach trouble or indi-
gestion
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula plainly printed on these
ffty-cent cases, then you will under
stand why dyspeptic trouble of all
kinds must go. and why they usually
relieve sour, out-of-order stomachs or
indigestion in five minutes. Diapep-
sin is harmless and tastes like candy,
though each dose contains power suf-
ficient to digest and prepare for assim-
ilation into the blood all the food you
eat; besides, it makes you go to the
table with a healthy appetite; but,
what wttl 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 laxatives OF
liver pills for biliousness or constipa
ton.
This city will have many Diapepsin
cranks. as some people will call them
but you will be cranky about this
gpieudid stomach preparation, too, il
you ever try little for indigestion OIL
gastrics or any other stomach misery
Get some now. this minute, and for
ever rid yourself of stomach trouble
and Indigestion.

One of the clergymen who makes
short addresses to the business men
in the down town districts during the
noon hour discovered that there is
something of a resemblance between
the Bull Moose and the ten horned
beast referred to in the Book of
Revelations, and it has been limited
that perhaps T. RS Bull Moose
might be the 10-horned beast re-
ferred to, for it is prophesized that a
great political ruler will arise at the
head of ten-horned beast and des-
troy the world-with blasphemy and
malicious power! Oh, shades of Pen
rose and Archbold! 1t is pointed
that most of the things told in the
Book of Revelations are already full
filled. The discovery of America and
the coming of Pilgrims to this coun-
try happened just as they are fore
told in the Revelation. The reverent
gentleman would not think of saying
that the Colonel is the beast that is
described, and he is annoyed that
certain politicians have made humer-
Gus capital of his reference. The
head of the Progressives is to busy
to consider the matter.
