ach relief.

the formula. plainly printed on these
fifty-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will understand why dyspep-
tic troubles Of all kinds must go,
and why it relieves sour, out-of-order
-stomachs or indigestion in five min
utes. "Pape's Diapepsin" is harmless;
tastes like candy, though each dose
will digest and prepare for assimila-
ton 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.
This city will have many "Pape's
Diapepsin" cranks, as some people
will call them, but you will be en-
thusiastic about this splendid stom-
ach preparation too, IL you ever take
it for Indigestion, gases, heartburn,
sourness, dyspepsia, or any stomach
misery.
Get some now, this minute, and rid
yourself Of stomach misery and indi-
sestion in five minutes.

forms OF stomach trouble are, nine
times out OF ten, due to acidity; there

rule eliminates most foods which are
pleasant to the taste as well as those

This will nentralize any acid which

Random, Sketches

There was an omission In the
sketches for October; the sketch had
already been planned Of notable
event which occurred in Keokuk. al.

omission must have been caused by q
treacherous memory, or failure to
make timely entry on my note book.
A recent reference to the names of
Lee county authors brought this over
sight to mind. For that which should
have been noted, was called wildly
to mind in the mention of the name of
Kate Harrington one of the most
notable and gifted in the list Of honor
ed names. Kate Harrington" was
her nom de plume, and she was the

In Muskogee, Okla, one of the
most perfect fire systems is in use.
There are bells at certain places
along th.e street. An operator at the
central fire station starts them ring

fire department must pass in it's run.
This clears the way. At the same

There are other business men in the
city who agree with him. There Is
small chance for argument on this
score. Cut out ringing the bells at

calls over the telephone will be avoid

to the times when It was necessary to
