GAS, DYSPEPSIA
AND INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsin" settles souri,
Classy stomachs in five
minutes-Time It!

You don't want slow remedy when
your stomach is bad-or an uncertain
one-or a harmful one-your stomach
is too valuable; you mustn't injure it.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for it's
speed in giving relief; its harmless.
ness; it's certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs.
Its millions Of cures In indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach
trouble has made it. famous the world
over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor In
your home-keep it handy-get large
fifty-cent case from any dealer 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 head
ache, dizziness and nausea; eructa-
tons of acid and undigested food
remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin
comes in contact with the stomach all
such distress Vanishes. It's prompt.
ness, certainty and ease in overcoming
the worst stomach disorders is reve-
lation to those who try it.-Adv.

ECZEMA ON HEAD AND FACE

Reedy, w. Va.-"My baby boy
when three weeks old took the ecze-

out in pimples and first they looked
like blisters and yellow water would
run from them. His head was per-
fectly raw and his hair was all gone.
Everybody said he would never have
any more hair. AS the sores spread
his hair came out. The breaking out
itched so badly that we had to keep
gloves on his hands to keep him from
scratching his head and face. 1t
caused Disagreement. He couldn't
rest at night it burned and itched
SO badly.
He was treated for eight months
and he got worse all the time. So
l decided to try Cuticura Soap and

pletely cured after using the Cuticura
Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Oint-

No Joke,

At the Chicago Athletic club a
game had been put up on a cynical
old bachelor. The man had waited
from eight to ten in the park on a
snowy evening in obedience to a
pale pink, violet-scented note that his
friends had faxed in order to see if
he was really as confirmed a woman
hater as he claimed.
Turning up at the club for night
cap, the duped and frozen bachelor
was very sullen and sulky when his
friends derided him. He saw no fun
whatever in the fake note.
George AIDE, noticing his black and
lowering looks, gave a loud laugh and
said;
What a skinfint you must be!
Won't even laugh at a joke, ell, If it's
at your own expense?"

COUNSELOR QUITS THE STATE DEPARTMENT
President Accepts Resignation of John
Bassett Moore-To Head Co.
Iumbia University.

Washington.-John Bassett Moore,
counselor Of the state department and
a recognized authority on internation-
al questions, concluded his service
with the government Wednesday when
President Wilson accepted the resig-
nation submitted a month ago. Com
ing when international affairs occupy
the forefront of official and public at
tention, the departure of Mr.. Moore
from position second only to that of
Mr.. Bryan, attracted widespread at
tention and comment.
Although the resignation had been
in the presidents hands since Feb 2,
to take effect Wednesday, this fact
had not been generally known.
1t was explained that Mr., Moore
had come into the administration with
definite understanding that his
tenure was provisional for a year SO
that he could return to his duties as
head of the department of internation-
al law at Columbia University. This
fact was. strongly emphasized in the
official correspondence made public
Wednesday. Although the official
statements-one from the president,
one from Mr.. Bryan and Mr. Moore's
own letter of resignation-made no
mention of the subject, it is matter
of common report that Mr.. Moore's
personal viewpoint on some of the
most important policies relating to
foreign affairs were not always in &C,
cord with those Of his superiors. AT
the same time it has been recognized
that he gave answering loyalty and
unpreiudicial counsel to the fulfill.
ment of policies as finally adopted.
During the diplomatic controversy
with Japan over the California anti
alien land law Mr.. Moore was consult.
ed constantly by the president ard his
counsel was reflected in various notes
defining the American attitude. When
Mr.. Bryan was in California Mr.. Moore
was acting secretary of state, and in
frequent conference with the president
on the Japanese questions.
