their threat and attempt 10 smash

the greatest slaughter ever witnessed
by man will occur. And the Kaiser

of the battle front on the anniversary
of the first year Of the war.
They declare they only fear the
Germans won't try. knowing II would
play into the allies hands. For Ger
many. they say, It would be the be-
ginning of the end
"Such a drive would be predoomed
10 failure" one officer said. Then
weakened by frightful losses. the
Kaisers legions would be at the
mercy Of the Allies, who with time
working TO their advantage have from
the FIRST conserved their troops TO this
end, largely, thanks to the genius OF
General Joffre, Frances commander

AT ONCE! STOPS ST0MA OH MISERY
 AND INDIGESTION
Tapes Diapepsin' makes sick sour, gassy Stom-
 achs feel fine.

Do some foods you eat hit back taste good, but work badly; ferment into stubborn Jumps and cause a sick, sour. gassy stomach? Now, MT. or Mrs. Dyspeptic, jot this down: .Pape's Diape psin digests everything, leaving nothing to sour and upset you. There never was anything so safely quick, so certainly effective. No difference how badly your stomach is disordered you will get happy relief in five minutes, but what p1eases you most is that it strengthens and regulates your stom- ach so you can eat your favorite foods without fear.
 Most remedies give you relief some times-they are slow, but not sure. t'Pape's Diapepsin' is quick, positive and puts your stomach ip a healthy condition so the misery won't come back.
 You feel different as soon as Tapes Diapepsin' comes in contact with the stomac ach-distress just vanishes-your stomach gets sweet, no gases, no belching, no eructations of undigested food, your head clears and you feel fine.
 Go now, make the best investment you ever made, by getting a large hfty-cent case of Pape's Dfapepsin from any drug store. You realize in five minutes how needless it is to suf- fer from indigestion, dyspepsia or any stomach disOrder-Ady.

Tommy May Dine on Lobster.

St. Johns, N. F.. Jan. 11.-The British, soldiers at the front will feast on lobster if the proposal of this col ony is accepted by the War Depart ment, it was learned to-day. The bulk of the co1ony's canned lobster output usually is sold in Germany, but this market has been closed because of the war. While the catch last year was small, with a total pack of 12,0OO cases, as against an average of 20, 900 cases in previous years, the packers have been left with virtual 1y the whole of it on their hands. Af- ter the opening of the war the price dropped from $2a to $12 a case.
 In order to avoid a, complete fai1- rrs of the industry for the year it is proposed that the British Government purchase all the product at a reason able figure as a ration for the soldiers in the field.
