Few Moments! No Indigestion or
 Sick Stomach Tapes Diapepsin

of men and women today know that 1t is needless to have bad stomach. A little Diapepsin occasionally keeps the stomach 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 a damage instead of a help, remember the quickest, surest, most harmless relief Is Pape's Diapep- sin. which costs only fifty cents for a large case at drug stores. It's truly wonderful-it digests food and sets things straight, 50 gently and easily that it Is astonishing. Please don't go on and on with weak, disordered stomach; it's so unnecessary.

 Westerly town officials look for fa- vorable action in the Stonington town meeting next Monday on the prOposi- tion to pay bounty for the killing of wild animals as there is a belief that the town of Westerly has paid bounty for animals, especially woodchucl1s, terly has paid bounty of twenty five cents each on 500 woodchucks. on pro- ductfon of the nose of the animal. As no bounty is paid in Stonington, Westerly has become the favored mar ket for unscrupulous hunters
 The proposition to be submitted to the Stonington town meeting asks that bounty be paid for each wild cat, Tacc0on, skunk. fox. weasel and wood chuck caught within the limits of the town.
 These animals have caused consid-
