Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into stubborn Jumps nd cuse a sick,
sour, gassy stomach? Now, Mr. or
Mrs. Dyspeptic, jot this down: Pape's
ing nothing to sour and upset you.
There never was anything SO safely
quick, so certainly effective No diff
erence how badly your stomach is
disordered you will get happy relief

positive and puts your stomach in a
healthy condition so the misery
won't come back.
You feel different as soon as Pape's
Diapepsin comes in contact with the
stomach-distress just vanishes-

no belching, no quotations of undi
gested food, your head clears and
you feel fine.
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made, by getting a large
ifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin
from any drug store. You realize in
five minutes how needless it is to
suffer from Indigestion, dyspepsia or
any stomach disorder.

AMERICAN WOMEN ARE
GETTING FLAT-FOOTED

If American society women and the
working girls who ape them in man
ners OF dress do not use more judg-
ment in the selection of their shoes
IN a'few years. they will be padding
around. like ducks on fiat feet, in the
opinion of chiropodists.
So general has this ailment be-
come among American women that
establishments where feet are doc
tored are full of waiting patients. ana
at some of the more popular ones it
is difficult to make an appointment
Broken down arches affect the en-
tire nervous system, and the foot doc
tors say that many a society woman
who thinks her social duties are max
ing a nervous wreck of her could stop
all the trouble by wearing a different
make of shoes which would support
the arches of the feet.
The dainty little pumps, high OF
heel, short of vamp and pointed toe.
are responsible.
Miss Kate Brown, a prominent Mil
watkee chiropodist, says that dozens
of women come to her suffering with
fiat feet, who are in bad physical
condition, but who would end all their
troubles by wearing sensible shoes.
They refuse to do this; however, she
says.
when l tell them they should
wear different shoes they say: WHY.
these are the most comfortable
pumps u have ever worm and all the
time they are suffering torment. But
they are happy in a way, because they
know that this sort of a shoe looks
chic and dainty
The new style of shoe, which is ex-
actly the reverse of the high-heeled
shoe which started all the trouble.
only aggravates the sitution, say the
foot physicians. The new shoe has
broad and extremely low heel and low
arch under the instep. The feet USED
to being bolstered up by the high
arch have developed a set of ffabby
and next to useless instep muscles
and without the support of the old
style last allows the foot to fatten
out. The remedy can only be found
in an artificial arch, which can be
placed in the shoe, giving the desired
support.
If fiat-heeled shoes had been worn
since childhood there would be no.
difficulty, but as it is wearers will
have to take the consequences for the
trouble strted by high-heeled va
riety.
The first symptom of this disease
is pain in the foot little below and
in front of the ankle. This is fol-
lowed by pains in the small of the
back and then in the heel In many
cases it is impossible to restore tie
foot to it's normal shape, and where
relief is possible long course of
treatment is required

To begin with, Mrs. Mary Sumloy-

not superstitious. Just the same she
is very sadly puzzled and little
frightened too, at experiences she
has been troubled with recently.

minutes otter s o'clock and placed a
new dress, which she valued very
highly, under her pillow Later, she
lay down for short time, her head
resting on the pillow beneath which
was the dress.
"As / closed my eyes," she said,
felt something moving beneath me.
Something was writing beneath my
head-the clutching, wriggling ap-
,proach of hand. Before | could
start up shrek l felt my dress
that l. thought SO much of, snatched
violently away. Yet there was no
one else in the ROOM
Too frightened to scream then Mrs.

There was the impress of the
dresss in the bolster, but that was all

from whence it came.
She Jumped from her bed and ran
out into the hall, believing that
someone there had pulled THE dress
out. The hall was empty She went
out as far as the front door, but no
one was in sight. She then called
several of the other occupants of the
house and they started search
All the doors and windows were Se-
curely fastened No trace Of the
dress could be found in any part OF
the house.
Next she searched through her fiat
and learned that gold watch chain

She then notified the police of the

strength and weakness of men and
strong dramatic situations are devel-
oped. Several of Kalem's producing
organizations combined in the making
of this picture and a result a rare
opportunity was afforded for many
notable players to appear. The cast
