HANDY STOMACH
REMEDY TO HAVE
ABOUT THE HOME
Instantly stops Indigestion,
gas, sOurness, heartburn
Or acidity.
The moment "Pape's Diapep-
sin" reaches the stomach
all distress goes.

AS there Is often some ono in your
family who suffers an attack of indi-
gestion. acid stomach, dyspepsia or
some form OF stomach trouble, why
don't you keep Papes Diapepsin in
the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you eat without the slight
est discomfort. and overcome n sour,
gassy stomach in five minutes
Tell your pharmacist to let you read
tho formula plainly printed on these
50-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then
you Will readily see why IT makes in
digestion, sour stomach, heartburn and
other distress go in five minutes and
relieves at once such miseries as
belching of gas, quotations of sour
undigested food. nausea. headaches,
dizziness, constipation and other stom-
ach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to
find relief from indigestion and dys-
pepsia or an out-of-order stomach
with the common everyday cures adj
vertised that they have about made
up their minds that they have some
thing else wrong. or believe theirs Is
n 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,
besides poison the breath with nau-
seous odors.
a hearty appetite, with thorough
digestion. and without the slightest
discomfort or misery of the stoma CHI,
is waiting for you as soon as you de-
eide to try Pape's Diapepsin.

WILSON DID NOT SUGGEST

Tumulty Denies That President

REPORT BRANDED AS UNTRUE
Statement Circulated That Chief Ex-
ccutive Has Stated 1t Would Be
"Unlucky to Run Same Team

WASHINGTON. October 13-Secre-
taryJ Tumulty to-day denied that Presi-
dent Wilson has told any ono that 1t
would be "unlucky to run the same
team twice" intimnting that Vice
President Marshall ought not to be

that the President has never talked
with anybody on the subject, and that
the relations between tho two men are

that the Vice-President did not stand
hitchcd" In some administration legis-
lation at the last session of Congress-
In Phoenix. Ariz.. yesterday Mr.. Mar
shall declared he did not believe that
the President had ever made a remark

Democratic politicians in Washing
ton look forward confidently to the
Democratic ticket next year being the
same as in 1912-Wilson and Marshall
They see no reason why there should
be change. Mr.. Marshall, 1t is
pointed out. has been in sympathy with
the policies OF the administration, and
If the country should ratify the work
Of the Democratic administration, It
would want to include Mr.. Marshall as
we'll as Mr.. Wilson.
WOULD NOT TRY TO NAME
HIS RUNNING MATE
It is not conceived possible that the
President would undertake to suggest
to the convention q running mate next
year. II he Is nominated. as there ap-
pears to be no doubt he will be. his die
'tation will be confined to naming the
head of the national committee. and Of
fering suggestions as to how the cam
paign should be run. These rights
have been conceded to a nominee for
many years. The most interesting
thing as to the future is as to whether
selected to run the campaign and head
lieved he will be.
Friends Of Senator James Hamilton
Lewis. Of Illinois, are holding them
selves in readiness to propose his
name for Vice President should there
be an opportunity to do SO. An inside
story to-day is that the Lewis people
believe the Illinois Senator would
strengthen the ticket. because he
stands we'll with the German vote. 1t
Is practically admitted that the entire
German vote OF the country will be
against Mr.. Wilson, and the only ques-
ton is whether the Democrats will
want to cater to that vote by naming
n vice-presidential candidate who will
be acceptable to the Germans.
