HANDY STOMACH REMEDY TO HAVE
 ABOUT THE HOME
Instantly stops indigestion, gas, SOurness, heartburn or
 acidity.
The moment Tapes Diapepsin'' reaches the stomach all
 distress goes.

As there is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of indi- gestion. acid stomach, dyspepsia or some form of stomach trouble, why don't you keep Pape's Diapepsin in the house handy?
 This harmless blessing will digest anything you eat without the slight est discomfort, and overcome a sour, gassy stomach in five minutes.
 Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula plainly printed on these 50-cent cases of Pape's Diapep- sin, then you will readily see why it makes indigestion, sour stomach, heartburn and other distress go in five minutes and relieves at once such miseries as belching of gas, eructa- tions of sour undigested food, nausea. headaches, dizziness, constipation and other stomach disorders.
 Some folks have tried so long to find relief from indigestion and dys- pepSia or an out f-Order stomach with the common everyday cures ad- vertised that they have about made up their minds that they have some thing else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of nervousness, gastritis, ca tarrh of the stomach or cancer
 This, no doubt, is a serious mistake. Your real trouble is, what you eat does not digest; instead, it ferments and sours, turns to acid, gas and stomach poison, which putrefy in the digestive tract and intestines and, be- sides, poison the breath with nause- ous odors.
 A hearty appetite, with thorough digestion and without the slightest discomfort or misery of the stomach is waiting for you as soon as you decide to try Pape's Diapepsin.

 The new board of selectmen, Will liam J. Johnson, Charles H. Calor and William C. Hart, will hold a meet ing tomorrow night in the town build ing to orga nize for the coming year.
 The board has the usual number of appointments to make, but it is not expected that there will be many changes in the personnel of the vari- ous boards. George s. Babcock name will come before the board with three titles appended. He is tree warden, fire commissioner and a member of the commission having in charge disburseents from the Strong fund. There was some talk today to the effect that he may be relieved of some of his duties after the selectmen decide on their appointments.
 Will Get Rebates.
 According to Cashier A. A. Mcleod it will probably take at least two months to bring about the formal changing of the local bank from a national institution to a trust com pany. There is considerable detail to be attended to in surrendering the national charter and incorporating under the state law as a trust com pany and as a result the change may not be brought about here until late in December.
 As the trust company is to incor- porate for but S25,000, one-half the par value of the national bank stL ok, the share holders will receive rebates in proportion to their Investments

Children will be admitted for the opening when the feature will be a first class vaudeville entertain ment. The headliners is a team of five English actors headed by Leo Lilly, which made a big hit in the leading English music halls. There will be three other acts of equal merit. Dancing will follow.
 There has been a big advance sale of tickets, in fact the greatest in the history of St. Paul's fairs. The prizes include a stove contributed by A. H. Bergeron; box of cigars, the gift of William Dooley and a set of silver table spoons, contributed by Miss Annie Nelligan.

NAVY TOBEATITS
.BESTINYEAR1925
Board Expects Cur Strength 10 BE
Equal TO Any Power On Earth
by That Time.

Washington, Dec, 22-The American
navy should be equal to the most
powerful maintained by any other ma
ton of the world" not later than 1925
in the opinion of the navy general
board headed by Admiral Dewey.
The annual report Of the board.
made public last night discloses that
this naval policy was formulated by
the body in July last in answer to the
following propositions propounded by
Secretary Daniels when the admins
tration reached its decision TO enter
upon a campaign OF national prepared
ness:
What the navy must be in the fut-
IRE in order TO stand upon an equality
with the most efficient and most prac-
tically serviceable."
The boards conclusions follow:
The navy Of the United States
should ultimately be equal TO the most
powerful maintained by any other ma
ton of the world. It should be grad
ually increased to this point by such
a rate Of development year by year, as
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1915-12-22

may be permitted by the facilities of
the country. but she limit above de-
fined should be attained not later than
1926"
At the same time the board present
ed a building program for 1917 in COM
pliance with the secretary's request
for "a program formulated iii the most
definite terms, planned for consist
ent and progressive Development OF
this great defensive arm Of the ma
ton"
Details Of the boards reply are moi
revealed, as subsequently in October of
This year, the secretary asked the
board to prepare "a building program
for the navy that will continue over
a period of five years with an expen-
diture Of about $I00,000,000 each year
for five years on new construction on
ly7 The administration plan for the
construction of is capital ships within
five years is founded on the board S
answer.
At the same time the board again
developed its idea of the place the
American navy should hold in the
world in the following language:
The general board believes that
the course Of the present war in Eur
ope affords convincing reasons for
modifying the opinion which it has ex-
pressed for the past ii years as to the
proper size of the navy. A navy in firm
control Of the seas from the outbreak
Of war is the prime essential to the de-
Tense of country situated as is the
United States bordering upon two
great oceans. A navy strong enough
only to defend our coast from actual
invasion will not suffice. Defense from
invasion is not the only function OF
the navy. II must protect our sea
borne commerce and drive that of the
enemy from the sea. The best way to
accomplish all these objects is to find
and defeat the hostile feet or any of its
detachments at a distance from our
coast sufficiently great to prevent In
terruption Of our normal course Of ma
tionai life. The current war has shown
that a navy Of size recommended by
this board in previous years can nc
longer be considered as adequate to tbs
defensive needs Of the United States
Our present law is not sufficient t.
give due weight to the diplomatic re-
naonstrances Of the United States il

The report lays stress upon tn,
boards proposal that seven OF the Il
new ships, four superdreadnaughts
and three battle cruisers. be authoriz

commended to congress, however, tina
