GAS, DYSPEPSIA

"Pape's Diapepsin' settles sour

minutes-Time It!

You don't want a slow remedy when
your stomach Is bad-or an uncertain
one-or a harmful one-your stomach
Is too valuable; you mustn't injure 1t.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its
speed in giving relief; its harmless
ness: its certain unfailing action In
regulating sick. sour. gassy stomachs.
Its millions of cures in indigestion.
dyspepsia. gastritis and other stomach
troubles has made it famous the world
over. N'
Keep this perfect stomach doctor In
your home-keep it handy-get large
flfty-cent case from any dealer and
then II anyone should eat something
which do Int agree with them; II
what they eat lays like lead, ferments
and sours and forms gas; causes head
ache, dizziness and nausea: eructa-
tions of acid and undigested food
remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin
comes in contact with the stomach all
such distress vanishes. Its prompt
ness. certainty and ease in overcoming
the worst stomach disorders is a reve-
lation to those who try it.-Adv.

Submeroed Timber.

The strength of a hep,lock stick a
foot square that had been in water for
almost forty years was recently test.
ed In the 600.O0O-pound testing ma
chine at Rensselaer, Polytechnic insti-
tute at Troy, in New York. The tim
ber, which was 16 feet Q inches long,
had formed part of one of the piers OF
the Congress street bridge at Troy.
When the pier broke down after the
flood In the spring of 1918, the timber
was turned over to one of the mate
rial.testing laboratories of the insti-
tute. 1t was kept in the open air
for three months, and then placed in
a dry rooh.t or little more than nine
months. When placed in the testing
machine, the column failed under a
load of $4,000 pounds; that is. the
long-submerged wood showed an ulti-
mate strength of 2,670 pounds to the
square inch. In the opinion of Prof.
T. R. Lawson. who conducted the test.
the remarkable strength of this piece
of hemlock seems to show that be-
ing immersed in water for long time
does not decrease the column strength
of timber that is subsequently permit
ted to dry out.-Youth's Companion.

There were valentines with lace and
pretty colored papers. and one was Of

Grandma Great laughed. Look IN

Helen. when she came to the bottom

blue ribbon.

great.grandfather,' said Grandma
Great. when he was my lover, or
should say before we were married.

pressed the letters to her lips. Helen
went on looking at the valentines.
When she had finished she saw that
Grandma Great had fallen asleep. The
letters were in her lap and she had
her sweetheart's picture in one hand.
Helen looked at her. There was
smile upon her face, and somehow
Helen understood what she had meant
by keeping young. and after that days
visit Helen always felt that Grandma
Great was much younger than she had
ever thought her.

TRUE DIGNITY OF GlRLHooD
Does Not Mean Stiff, Pompous Man.
ner, But Quiet, Unassumins A.
mosphere Of Self.Respect.

We are likely to associate the word
ity, people who have achieved some
thing, who stand a little above the
rank and file. And 1t is a pity that
we should have this idea, for dignity
should characterize girlhood as well
as maturity and old age. A girls dig
nifty Is not Just like that of some
statesman or artist. 1t is a girls dig
nifty, simple and sweet and unassum-
ing.
There are some girls who are afraid
that dignity will interfere with their
popularity. They will submit to the
most casual treatment, mistakenly
imagining that they will be better
liked. The girl who allows her boy
acquaintances to call her by some
nickname. to address her in cavalier
fashion, to disregard In her presence
the little courtesies which custom de-
mands of his sex toward hers, is sac
rificing in vain. She is losing what is
her right. and gaining nothing in re-
turn.
There are few things the modern
girl needs to cultivate as much as dig
nifty. This does not mean a stiff, pom
pous. keep-at-your.distan manner,
but the quiet. unassuming atmosphere
of self-respect that compels the re-
spect of others. 1t is not only safe
guard to the girl who possesses 1t,
but it is a promise of happiness.-

The Shot That Missed.

Fiction and Reality.

1t is simple truth to say that many
things happen in fiction which would
be quite impossible in fact, as any
censor knows. 1t is in failing to dis
tlnguish between these two that many
artists and most critics blunder and
this error is in effect the same as that
Of the ambitious actor who. having
once to play the part, for the first
time, of an intoxicated rufiian in a

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR ~
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younserl Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and :.
Nobody Will Know. az

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded. streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. y
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get
large bottle for about SO cents. Every
body uses this old. famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair. as 1t does 1t
30 naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears. and
after another application or two. your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

CHILDREN SHOWED IT
Effect Of Their Warm Drink In tho

"A year ago was a wreck from cof.

giving up my position in the school
room because Of nervousness.
II was telling friend about it and
she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum, and it is such q com.
fort to have something we can enjoy
drinking with the children
Il was astonished that she would
allow the children to drink any kind
of coffee. but she said Postum was
not coffee, but most healthful drink
for children as well as for older ones,
and that the condition of both the chill
dren and adults showed that to be a
fact.
II was in despair and determined
to give Postum trial, following the
directions carefully. 1t was a decided
success and was completely won by
its rich delicious flavor.
''In a short time noticed a decided
improvement in my condition and kept
growing better month after month,

As the season advances the condi-

ing the roots.
The material from which the sugar
Is made is elaborated by the leaves
during the growing season, from the
carbonic acid of the air with the aid
of sunlight, and is stored up in the
form of starch. Hence the character
of the season as to the amount Of sun
shine, the vigor Of the tree. its leaf
Development and exposure to the light,
are important factors in determining
the yield Of sugar the following spring.
The sap in January and February is
quite different from that in March and
April. In the latter months much of
the stored-up starch is changed into
sugar, and the sap In the outer con-
Quoting tissues Of the tree becomes an
almost pure dilute solution Of sugar,
This is coincident with the sugaring
season, and Is the effort of the tree to
feed the growing parts.
There has been much speculation as
to the weakening of the trer. by tap
ping, which Is sort of bi ,.a.ing opera
ton and takes away a portion Of the
stored-up nourishment of the tree.
The average sugar maple is estimated
to carry approximately IS pounds Of
sugar in its sap. Three pounds Of
sugar to a tree is looked upon as a
good yield, and this would represent
less than a tenth of the total sugar In
the tree, an amount which the investi-
cations indicate could easily be spared
under ordinary circumstances.
The run of sap was found to vary
considerably with different trees. as
did also its sugar content. The aver
age sugar content in five different
orchards varied from 2.08 to 3.44 per
cent. These variations are due in
part to differences in location. ex-
posure, age and size of the trees. but
when separate trees are consid ,red
notable instances of individual differ
ences are found. One tree, which be-
came known as the Sweet tree" gave
good flow of sap varying in three
seasons from nearly S to over per
cent in sugar. Another tree tapped on
all four sides produced IL pounds Of
sugar in single season.
As to the location and manner Of
tapping the trees, the experiments
were extensive and explicit The re-
