IN FIVE MINUTES NO SICK STOMACH,
 INDIGESTION, GAS
'Pape's Diapepsin" is the quickest and surest
 Stomach relief.

If what you just ate is souring on your stomach or lies like lump of lead, refusing to digest, or you belch gas and eructate sour, undigested food, or have a feeling of dizziness, heart burn, fullness, nausea, bad taste in mouth and stomach, heauache, you can surely get relief in five minutes.
 Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula, plainly printed on these f1fty-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will understand why dys- peptic troubles of all kinds must go, and why it relieves, soAr, out-of- order stomachs or indigestion in five min utes. Tapes Diapepsih' is harmless; tastes like candy, though each dose will digest and prepare for assimila- ton into the blood all the food you eat; besides, it makes you go to the table with healthy appetite; but what will please you most, is that you will feel that your stomach and intes- tines are clean and fresh, and you will not need to resort to laxatives or liver pills for biliousness or constipation.
 This city will have many "Pape's Diapepsin" cranks, as some people will call them, but you will be enthusiastic about this splendid stomach prepara- ton, too if you ever take 1t for indt- gestion, gases, heartburn, sourness dyspepsia, or any stomach misery.
 Get some now, this minute, and rid yourself of stomach misery and .tnd1- gestiou in five naina1taa-Adu-

ANOTHER "BOY WONDER'
 IN THE BILLIARDS GAME

The billiards game has produced lot of "boy wonders and "kid mar vels,"l and among the new crop or these infant prodigies Ralph Greenleaf of Monmouth, Ill.,, stands out as a star in the pocket billiard pastime. Ralph gave Frank Taberski, the American pocket billiard champ, close run for his honors a couple of weeks ago, but fell down in the stretch. The precocious Sucker State infant has plenty of time to win the laurels, however, as he will pass his seventeenth milestone tomorrow. II he insn't champion before he is 2l those who have seen him play will be nightly surprised.
 Greenleaf is a tall, slim kid, and has been playing the pocket billiard game for years. When he was only 12 he won more than local reputa- tion by his uncanny proficiency with the cue. and since then he has steadily

improved. Greenleaf was one of the entrants in the tournament held in Chicago early this year to institute new pocket billiard championship, Benjamin Allen of Kansas City having come into full ownership of the old trophy khich he took from Alfredo De Orc. The Illinois kid finished fourth in a field of 13, Emmett Blank enship of Detroit winning the title with John Layton of Sedalia, Mo- second, and Frank Taberski of Sche- nectady, N. Y.,~ third. A few months later Layton took the honors from Blankenship, and in September Ta- berski defeated the Sedalia star. To carry out the order of the Chicago tournament it remained for Green leaf toi defeat Taberski, but at the match in New York last month the champion retained his trophy by a score of 450 to 407.. In the first nights play Greenleaf led by 150 to 88, but on the second and third nights the champion showed great improve ment, and finished too strong for the boy wonder.
