The mother was frankly alarmed.

AT ONCE! STOPS STOMACH MISERY
 AND INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsin" makes sick sour, gassy Stomachs
 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: Papes Diapepsin 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 min- utes, but what pleases you most is that it strengthens and regulates your stomach so you can eat your favorite floods without fear.
 Most remedies give you relief some times-they are slow, but not sure. "Papes Diapepsin" is quick. positive and puts your stomach in a healthy condition so the misery won't come back.
 You feel different as soon as "Papes Diapepsin'' comes in contact with the stomach-distress just van- ishes-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 fifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from any drug store. You realize in five minutes how needless it is to suffer from indigestion, dyspepsia or any stomach disorder.

TALKING MACHINES.

The first patent on the gramophone style of talking machine was grant, ed to Emile Berliner 29 years ago to- day, Nov. 8, 1887. Berliner was not the pioneer in this field, although he produced mechanism which was in many ways an improvement on earlier attempts to produce canned conver- sation.'' The first machine called a ''phonograph" was mechanical mu- sic player. invented by Fenby, an Englishman,- in 1863, and designed to be attached to pianofortes and other keyed instruments. Machines with a similar object had been projected as early as 1747. but were not successful. The discovery of the phenomena on which the modern photograph is bas- ed was made by Thomas A. Edison in 1877, while the electrical wizard was engaged on experiments for a totally different end. His first. machines were very crude but they supplied the inspiration for Berliner and other inventors. About the time Berlinel patented his first gramophone, Edison again took up his invention, and af- ter much study produced the phono- graph substantially as we know it to- day, although innumerable refine. ments have been made.
