One morning last week when
Postmaster Album got down to
work he found a note in the
back door saying that the post
office was to be robbed that
night and signed a friend. Mr..
Album thought it was some
kind of a joke but just the
same he had things arranged so
that if a burglar had attempt
ed to get into the post office he
would have met a reception
that would have been warm to
say the least. Nothing came
of the warning but Mr.. Album
thought it best to take all the
necessary precautions.

HAS SOME SENSE

The Glendale correspondent OF the
Milford Chronicle says:
We have often beard marvellous
stories OF the intelligence and sage
Of dumb creatures, bue we have a
story that seems unreasonable, al
though it is guaranteed to us for a
sure fact by Charles Indie. whose
word is beyond suspicion. He relates
II this way: A neighbor has a large
flock Of ducks among which is a
massive muscovy drake. They are
wired away from a fine crimson clio
yer field by a two-foot poultry net
ting. This wise old drake jumps on
the wire and mashcs it down and
holds it until each duck has passed
over into the clover field. When they
have satisfied their appetites, MIR.
Drake holds down the fence until they
pass out. This occurs daily and many
neighbors have been called in to see
this most wonderful performance.

You don't want slow remedy when
.our stomach is bad--or an uncer-
tain one-or harmful one-your
stomach is too valuable; you mustn't
injure it with drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its
speed in giving relief; its harmless
ness: its certain unfailir~ action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stom-
achs Its millions OF cures in indi-
gestion, dyspepsia. gastritis and 9TH
er stomach trouble has made it IA
nous the world over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor
in your home-keep it handy-get a
large fifty-cent case from any drug
store and then if anyone should eat
something which doesn't agree with
them: If what they eat lays like lead,
ferments and sours and forms gas;
causes headache, dizziness and nau-
sea- eructations of acid and undi-
gested food-remember as soon as
Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact
with the stomach all such distress
vanishes. It's promptness, certainty
and ease in overcoming the worst
stomach disorders is a revelation to
those who try it.
