They did not believe at first that any

Diapepsin digests everything. leaving
nothing TO sour and upset you. There
never was anything SO safely quick, so
certainly effective. No difference how
badly your stomach il disordered you

but what pleases you most is that it
strengthens and regulates your stom-
ach so you can eat your favertte foods
without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times-they are slow, but not sure.
Diapepsin is quick. positive and puts
your stomach in a healthy condition
so the misery won't come back.
You feel different as soon as Dia-
pepSin comes IN contact with the
stoma ch-distress just vanishes-your
stomach gets sweet, no gases, no
belching, no quotations of undigestec
food, your head clears and you feel
fine.
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made by getting a large fifty

any drug store. You realize in five
minutes how needless it is to suffer
from indigestion, dyspepsia or any
stomach disorder. (Adv.)

FIRE
ALARM STATION
INCOMM|SS|ON
FITTED WITH MODERN DEVICES
AND CONVENIENTLY ARRANGED
WAS OPENED YESTERDAY
WITH EVERYTHING WORKING
SMOOTHLY.

Fitted with modern devices and ar
ranged in such & manner that no time
is lost in putting them in operation,
Pensacola's first central fire alarm
station was placed in commission yes
terday morning. The apparatus in the
station was Installed by City Hlec-
trician Len LeBaron.
Alarms are received over a fourier
cult system instead OF one circuit as
heretofore. ALI alarms pass through
four circuit Gamewell repeater and
are sent to the truck houses by an
automatic transmitter, an electrical
device operated by placing cog wheel
patterned to correspond to the wheel
in any box which may be turned in
for a fire. The transmitter will also
be used in sending in phantom"
alarms to the truck houses. the only
additional cost to the city being the
price OF the cog wheels.
A four circuit switchboard and a
water gauge, showing the pressure
every minute and hour of the day and
night are also part Of the equipment.
Maps showing the location of fire
alarm boxes and all wires used in the
system are within sight of the opera
tors
The installation OF a four-cfrcuft
system prevents the failure of an
alarm to be sent to the truck houses
In the event OF any one of the cir
cults being put out of commission, an
alarm can be sent to the central sta
ton by telephone and from there sent
to the truck houses by the operator.
Heretofore when trouble occurred on
the one-circuit system the entire fire
alarm system was rendered useless and
tn alarm had to be phoned to the police
station and from there had to be tele-
phoned to the truck houses, unless
direct connection was at first made by
phone to one truck house.
Since the central station was opened
fremen on watch both day and night
at the truck houses are compelled to
report hourly to the operator and a
printed form showing the names of
the firemen on watch and the hour at
which they report is furnished the
chief every morning.
Chief Bicker and Assistant Riera
have their headquarters at the CEN
trail station, corner of Zarragossa and
Commandments streets, and they ex-
tend an invitation to the people of
Pensacola to call and inspect the new
place. The station Is handsomely I'm
ished and presents a pretty interior.
Chief Bicker last night called special
attention to the fact that in future all
persons are requested to use telephone
No. 1000 in sending in call for the
department.

cars is the maximum for any train, but
there was a necessity for as many
