cNchanSe drawn on banks In tho United
states payable In dollars was present
Gu To-Day at the conference between
business and financial representatives
OF the United States and the Chilean
delegation attending the Pan american
Financial Conference.
IL was said tonight that the Gug-
eenh"i'n copper interests, the Bcthlc-
mem steel Company, and the DUPONT
,'o""er Company. all of which have
large interests in Chile, are behind the
pian' which would involve exchange
assrega,ing some s2o.000o0O a year.
Representatives of the United States
IN thlS conference group were told that
ChiIe cNactcd an export duty on nitrate
ana had provided that ninety-day bills
OF exchange on London. payable in
pounds sterling, shall be practically
legal tender in the payment of these
duties and for other purposes. II was
suggested that law be enacted to
make bills drawn on banks in the Unit
cd states legal tender to tho same ex-
t"ht' 10 facilitate the business Of the
interests in the United States which
spend millions each year in wages and
IN purchases in Chile.

given by Secretary McAdoo, and trip
TO Mt vernon, on the presidential

II became apparent to-day that sew
eral Of the South American nations in

some concrete plan for Improvement IT
shipping facilities submitted to tn
conference before adjournment on Sat
urday. Several countries have declar red
themselves for encouragement to ship

The Argentine delegation is anxious
that at least the United States, Brazil
and Argentina. as governments. or
through private capital take action to
assure that the future will not sec a
repetition of conditions that arose in
the shipping world after the European
war began.
While some bankers are known to
feel that American capital will not go
into shipping enterprises at present or
until II is assured of certain modifica-

apparent that n serious effort TO get

Tho hour which we are traversing is

IF MEALS HIT BACK
AND STOMACH SOURS
"Pape's Diapepsin" ends Indigestion,
Gas, Dyspepsia and Stomach
Misery in five minutes.

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like a lump Of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested
food, or have feeling of dizziness,
heartburn, fullness, nausea, bad taste
in mouth and stomach, headache,
you can get blessed relief in five
minutes.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula, plainly printed on these
5o-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsln,
then you will understand why dys-
peptic troubles of all kinds must go,
and why they relieve sour, out-of-
order stomachs or indigestion in five
minutes. "Pape's Diapepsin" is
harmless; tastes like candy, though
each dose will digest and prepare for
assimilation into the blood all the
food you eat; besides, it makes you
go TO the table with healthy ap-
petite; 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 laxatives or liver pills for bilious
ness 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, gases, heartburn,
sourness, dyspepsia, or any stomach
misery.
Get some now, this minute, and
rid yourself of stomach trouble and
indigestion in five minutes.

Ten to One for Prohibition

"a James A. Troutman, member of the
ee4Snsas State Senate: "In thirty
Years prohibition in Kansas has re,
suited in greater diffusion of gen.
eral education and a smaller percent
age of illiteracy and crime than any
other organized community on the
globe. At the last election the Rep
ulican, Democratic and Progressive
candidates for governor stood on pro-
hibition platforms and advocated pro.
hibition without evasion or apology.
The candidate who represented the
anti-prohibition sentiment polled only
one-tenth of the combined vote given
the other three candidates-one vote
in ten against prohibition"
Decreases Prison Population
Warden j. d. Botkin of the state
prison at Lansing: "We have a small
er number of prisoners in the state
prison now than at any time in the
last ten years. The prison popula-
tion is steadily declining. On March
l, 1915, we had 768, and twenty-six
of this number are federal prisoners.
Forty per cent of this number were
not residents of Kansas, but were
'foaters' who We're captured for
crime within the state.
Eighty per cent of the number
brought to the prison give liquor as
the cause of their downfall.
Prohibition Decreases Taxes
Not a higher percentage of pris>
onerS, / think, are sent to the Kansas
prison for homicide, as charged by
the liquor dealers. The figures show
that there is constantly decreasing
percentage, however, for that crime
in the state. In 1905-O6 we received
ninety-four for homicide; in 1868
we received sixty-six for the same
crime; lightweight in 19O9-1O; fifty
three in 1911-12; forty-scven in 1913
a."
Associate Justice John Dawson,
former attorney general of Kansas
THAT prohibition is best for these
cities is shown in the fact that the
Kansas cities that have received 10
| revenue whatever from vice have a
lower tax rate than the cities which
stuck to the license fning system to
the last ditch. Conditions in Leaven-
worth at the close of many years of
Illicit revenues from fines is most
Istriking example in support of this
proposition. Leavenworth has no city
