ing "Pape's Oiapepsin."

If what you just ate is sonring on
your stomach or lies like a lump OF
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested
food, or have feeling Of dizziness,
heartburn, fullness, nausea, bad taste
in mouth and stomach headache
this is indigestion.
A full case of Papcs Diapepsin
costs only fifty cents and will thor
oughly cure your outoforder stomach,
and leave sufficient about the house
in case some one else'in the family
may suffer from stomach trouble or
Indigestion.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula plainly printed on these
fiftycent 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. Dapep
sin is harmless and tastes like candy,
though each dose contains power suf-
ficient to digest and prepare for as
similatiOn into the blood all the food
you eat; besides 1t makes you go to
the table with healthy appetite;
but, what will please you most, is that
you will feel that your stomach and
intestines are clean and fresh, and
you will not need to resort to laxa
tives or liver pills for biliousness or
constipation. &c.
This city will have many Diapepsin
cranks, as some people will 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.

The Benefit Of Sorrow.

BY sorrow men learn that they need
to be fed with higher food. that they
must rest on stronger supports. that
they must have other friends and 9th.
er friendships, that they must live an
other life, that there must be some
thing that neither time nor chance nor
accident can undermine and sweep
away. When men have learned tho
interior lesson OF sorrow they look
upon trouble not as being less trou-
blous than it was. but as. from tha
higher point to which they have risen.

TO WAR ON SUFFRAGE.
German Catholic Central Association
Forms Woman's League.

Buffalo, Aug. 5.-The organization
of Catholic Women's League that
proposes to counteract the tendencies
of the women's movement, including
the demand for the use of the ballot,
marked yesterdays session Of the
German Catholic Central Verein,
which is holding its convention here.
Branches Of the league will be
formed all parts of the country, 1T
was stated by Mrs. Joseph Frey, the
honorary president.
"rhe feminist movement" said
Mrs. Frey; ais being promoted by
women whose views are decidedly pa
gan. If their demands were to be
realized, the Christian family would
cease to exist"
"While the Catholic Church has
made no pronouncement on the mat
ters of woman suffrage" she contln-
ued, "the Catholic philosophy OF life
is opposed to it. However, we are
not centering our activities in opposl-
tion to woman suffrage, but rather IN
a plan for teh future. The present un-
rest has resulted in the enfranchlse-
mept of woman in several States.
Those women would exert an evil
influence by maens of the ballot II a
conservative body of women was not
in the field to counteract their IN
fuence."

The passing of Alexandria's old
time cobblestones streets, while il
sounns new note in the progress OF
Alexandria, will also strike the heart
of nptny of :he old inhabitants in rath-
er sad manner.
The old cobblestones having passed

but new Improvements and new no.

old inhtbitant who deplores the tend

etc, demands different things. With
the passing of the cobblestones from
our streets, comes their absolute dis
appearance, as in their new and
changed form, the Old stones Of many
shtpes are no longer recognizable.
The city is rapidly crushing and
grinding them to pieces of various
sizes on the lot at the corner of Cam

DEATH FROM MEDICINE.
Mrs. Emily Redd Sclater Dies Soon
After Taking Dose Of ''Biltcfs."

Cartersiville, Va. Aug. 5.-This
whole community has been shocked
ito hear Of the sudden death on July
26 of Mrs. Emily Redd Sclater, wife
lof R. Zelda Sclater, of Cartersville.
TIL following account of Mrs. Sclat-
ler's death is reprinted from the Daily
democrat, of Ferriday, La:
Taking ~ patent medicine labeled
"Bitters" for touch of kidney
trouble brought death to Mrs. Emily
Redd Sclater, aged thirty-eight yetrs,
on Pecania Plantation, Concordia
Parish, La, yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Sclater suffered a pain in the
back yesterday, and remembering the
bitters, which were for kidney trou-
Ibles, she procured the bottle and read
the directions.
"Three tablesoonsfuls twice daily"
read the directions, and at 9:15 she
took the first Gbse. Almost immed-
liately she began to feel i'll, and soon
became very nauseated.
Her husband summoned Dr. Hod-
res, of Ferriday, three miles from the
plantation, and he arrived at 1918
O'Clock, but all efforts to relieve the
sufferer failed, and at Ills p. m., she
passed away.
The deceased was native OF hen

SILENCE IN BRADDOCk HOUSE.
Old Hostelry Destitute of Life Save
in Extreme Southern Corner
Where Piano Agency is Located.

The Braddock House, with all its
memories, is now minus human life,
with rodents scampel.ing through the
corridors without let or hindrauce.
The many families, lod@ers and lti-
nerants who have during the past
quarter of century found refuge in
the old hotel have packed their trap
pings and sought other abodes. The
storm of last Wednesday afternoon
left IS prints upon the eastern section
of the eiifice, and repairs are needed
1t is hard to realize that
the old landmtrk is no longer
used as a human habitation after its
long career as public house. Half a
century ago it was the leading hotel
of Alexandria and was literally pat
ronized. During the four years civil
war the government utilized it as a
ho5pital, and hundreds of federal SOL
ffcrs passed into the other world
from it's wards.
While many persons at times were
accommodates there after the close
of hostilities, it never regalned the
popularity iC enjoyed in ante bellum
days, and it's decline as a puhc house
has been gradual. NoboGy seems to
know for what purposes the building
is to be used in the future.

WILL TEST BIBLE READING.
Catholic Societies Adopt Resolutions
as to Schools.

Reading, Pa, Aug. 5.-At today's
session of the eleventh annual conven-
ton of the Stare Federation OF Cath
olic Societies, resolutions submitted
from Blair county, crticising the
reading of the Protestant Bible IN
the public schools, the recitation oil
Protestant prayers and rendition OF
Protestant hymns were adopted.
IL was the sentiment of the con-
yention that, the public schools be-
ING regarded as non-sectarlan, there
should be no Bible reading at all,
not even of the Catholic Bible, and
that its introduction under the recent
act of Legislature is merely a plan
for The teaching of the Protestant re-
ligion.
It was deciced to test the constltu-
tionality of the practice, and to this
end the matter was referred TO the
State Executive Committee, with IN
structions to act, and, if deemed ad-
visabIe, "to institure proceedings IN
some favorable locality, to the end
that these sectarian aggressions be
eliminated from the public schools"
Rev. Joseph B. Brock, of Erle,led
in a vigorous discussion on the mat
ter, setting forth that the Catholic
Church, desiring religious instruction
in her schools, has built and maintain
ed schoos of her won, and it would
be for others to do likewise if the
schools are to become sectarian.
1t was decided to hold the next an
nual convention in Erie.

OVERLAND wEsTERNERs.
Quar;ernion on Twenty-Thousand
Mile Horseback Trip.

Alexandria was invaded this morn
ing by the Overland Westerners, a
party of four young men of frontier
type direct from the wild and
woolly west," with the celebrated
pack horse Pinto and a dog, Nip, the
four westerners. c, C. Beck, j. 3.
Ransom, G. w. Beck, and R G. Rayne
reached this city on horseback after
IAN adventurous trip of ten thousand
miles, across the rockies, fording
flooded rivers crossing the broad
plains of the Dakotas and the hills OF
Montana, and are now on their way
to Augusta, Maine, where they will
turn about face for their return trip
of ten thousand additional miles
which will lead them south toward
Texas, passing through the Middle
States, the southwestern states, to-
ward their goal, and the city of San
Francisco.
The object of the 10000 mile
horse back trip of these hardy young
tmen is to test the endurance of Pinto,
the pack horse an ordinary bronco
of Arabian blood, but noted for his
great endurance. If the party sue
ceei in safely bringing this horse
through to San FRANCISCO, they win a
wager of $4,000 offered by western
stockmen, which is q dollar for every
mile travelled. The party started
May 1st, 1912, from Olympia, Wash
ington, and have already passed
through sixteen states on the way
east, and before the trip ends will
hive PISSED through every state in the
union. TIL trip will take three years,
Vending at the Panama Exposition in
June, 1915.
Tomorrow the party of ranchmen
will visit President Wilson and they
expect to have the President pose
with them for photograph. Cover
nors of every state have accorded the
riders royal welcome. In crossing
the mountains in the spring of 1912,
they were the first party for the
rear to cross the G.sshde range
Santa Ann Pass, where they
found l2 feet of snow. They swan
Powder River in Monttna, because
there were no bridges. Many adven-
lures befell them, during which they
lost four of their horses, all OF which
experiences will be later described in
a book to be written of their trip.

streets of our city, leaving its OF
fensive disgusting stencil to be watt

There were no arrests, and officers
