AT ONCE l! STOPS INDIGESTION, GAS,
 STOMACH MISERY
Tapes Diapepstn'' makes sick, sour. upset stomaChs feel
 fine.
Neutralizes acids in stomach, starts digestion and gives
 relief.

If YOU had some Diapepsin handy and would take little now your stomach distress or indigestion would vanish in five minutes and you would feel fine.
 This harmless preparation will di- gest anything you eat and overcome g. sour. out-of-order stomach before you realize 1t.
 If your meals don't tempt you. or what little you do eat seems to fill you or lays like lump of lead in your stomach, or if you have heart burn, that is a sign of indigestion.
 Ask your pharmacist for 5O-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and take a little just as soon as you can. There will be no sour risings, no belching of undigested food mixed with acid, no stomach gas or heartburn, full ness or heavy feeling in the stomach, nausea, facilitating headaches, dizzi- ness or intestinal griping. This will all go, and, besides, there will be no undigested food left over in tho stomach to poison your breath with nauseOus odors.
 Pape's Diapepsin instantly regU- lates out-of-order stomachs, because it prevents fermentation and takes hold of your food and digests 1t just the same as if your stomach wasn't there.
 Relief in five minutes from all stomach misery is at any drugstore waiting for you.

go, what must we do to get a de- crease in the rates?" persisted the councilman from the sixth. "The rates are established by the 1 exchange in Boston," replied His Honor.
 Councilman Landers wondered ,, whether committee could be ap- pointed to discuss the situation with the underwriters.
 Hartford has ordinances like tn ose presented by Councilman Cur tis," said Councilman Paonessa. When the committee on the re- vision of the building code was at work we considered just such laws but we thought We would be going too far.'
 Councilman Curtis acquiescing, his resolutions were tabled for printing in the minutes of the meeting.
 Trolley Extensions.
 Councilman Landers invited all the members of the council to bring to the next meeting petitions for trolley extensions in their respective wards. He referred to the cuccess his railroad committe had in secur- ing better protection at a number of railroad crossings and expressed the opinion that some benefit might be gained by that committee if it could bring the trolley extension matter directly to the attention of the off, cials of the Connecticut company. He reviewed the many promises tho trolley company has made to extend the system in this city only one of which banned out any gold. And that, the north end extension, he said was due to the efforts of private in- dividua1s rather than to any efforts of the council. He said the railroad committee might secure the cooper ation of the Chamber of Commerce..
 The railroad committee might also consider the service we are some of the lines," said Mayor Quiz ley. "The cars that are run on the Chestnut street and East Main street lines should have been relegated to the scrap heap twenty years ago.
 This brought Councilman Paonessa to his feet with a cry for improved service on the North End line which has a twenty minute schedule.
 Councilman Larfders replied that he had seen the figures of the Con- necticut company and the North End line was the worst paying branch in the city.
 Councilman Paonessa insisted that the line would return more profits to the company if fifteen minute schedule with connections with other lines were adopted.
 Judging by the success of the railroad committee in securing pro- lection for our crossings I wouldn't be surprised if a year from now we saw a circle of trolley lines all around the city" said Councilman Curtis facetiously.
 And the Icc House.
 Before a motion to adjourn could be seconded Chairman w. B. Ross berg of the water department step ped up and said he wanted to make report on the municipal ice house. He said it would be necessary to ex- pend $1,72O on the building to put it in condition for the winter. The sheathing on the outside alone would cost $1.440, he said. The commis- sion plans to replace half a dozen studdings, install four ventilators, two on the top and one at each end, and put a 4xS brace on each side ito keep the icehouse together" He

PRE.S|DENT'S REPLY |. F GERMANY WILL
 BE CAbLED TODAY
Delay in Sending Note Was Merely to Make Terms Enthusiastically Clear,
 Says Wilson

Washington, June 6.--Presideat Will son's note to Germany will he cnbIed to Ambassador Gerard Monday night or enrly Tuesday. according to word from the White House today.
 The only reason fer the delay, 1t is said. wns the Presidents desire to make the phraseoiogy of the note SO explicit and unmistaknble as to leave n'ent concerning the position Of fha United states government--that the right of visit and search must be ex- ercised and passengers and crew of un- armed ships on which neutrnis arc voyaging transferred to place of safety before any prize is destroyed by n beIligerent warship.
 Officials familiar with the contents of the note said it was a forceful reitera- ton of the principles expressed by the United States in its note of February lC, when the American government an nounced that it could not admit the right of the German admiralty's proclamation of war zone to infringe in any way upon the right of neutrals to travel any where on the high seas on peaceful mer- chantmen and that the German govern ment would be held to strict account ability" for any violation of American rights.
 Suggestion has been made to the Pres ident that the recent note from Germany offering regrets and reparation for the sinking by mistake of the Gulflight be cited in the new note as proof of the American contention that without visit and search the identity of a vessel can
 rot be established and the lives of neu- trals safeguarded. The commander Of
 the German submarine which attacked the Gulflight reported that he did not see the American flag until the moment of firing the shot Whether this idea will be included is not known,
