FOOD SOUR|NG IN
 STOMACH CAUSES
 INDIGESTION, GAS
"Pape's Diapepsin" Ends all Stom-
 ach Distress ir Five Minutes.

Wonder what upset your stomach which portion of the food did the dam age-do you? We'll, don't bother. If your stomach is in revolt; if sour gassy and upset, and what you just ate has fermented into stubborn Jumps; head dizzy and aches; belch gases and acids and eructate undi- gested food; breath foul, tongue coat ed.iust take little Pape's Diapapsin and in five minutes you wonder what became of the indigestion and dis tresS.
 Millions of men and women today know that it is needless to have a bad stomach. A little Diapepsin oc- casionally keeps this delicate organ regulated and they eat their favorite foods without fear.
 If your stomach doesn't take care of your liberal limit without rebellion; if your food is a damage instead of a help, remember the quickest, surest, most harmless relief is Pape's Dia- pepsin which costs only fifty cents for a large case at drug stores. It's truly wonderful--it digests food and sets things straight, so gently and easily that 1t is really astonishing. Please, for your sake, don't go on and on with a weak. disordered stomach; it's so un- necessary.-Advt.

DIVORCE COURTS REVEAL LITTLE
 OF INFELICITY
Commission on Family Life Points Gut Work for
 the Churches.

St. Louis, Mo, Dec. 1.-The divorce courts as busy as they are, reveal but a small proportion of the marital in felicity in this country, says the Con- mission on Family Life which report ed at todays session Of the quad rennial meeting of the Federal Coun- Ql of the Churches of Christ in America The report included sta tisties and discussions of many phases of the complex problems of marital relations.
 As to divorce 1t says: "At this mo- ment t is thought that one marriage in ten is broken by divorce, and that in some states the proportion may be as high as enc in four"
 Ut is striking fact the commis- sion says, that in the majority of divorce cases dissolution of marriage has occurred. not hastily after brief tria] but deliberately after consid- erable period of marriage; the aver age exceeding six and one half years. Common observation will show ire quency of diyorCr among people who have heen married twenty years or more
 The commission believes that the entrance of women into the industrial field plays an important part in the increase of divorccs. It deplore5 tho fact that "unfortunate'y the larger part of humanity in America, as else where, are strangers to the lofty views which the church entertains of marriage.
 When we arc seekin& therefore ro,,odioc tho oyi1c f,f nI1r mar riage and divorce practice our ulti- mate and most effecti"e method will be found in such instruction as the daurches may give to their adherents, supplemened by such work as the educational institutions of the coun- try may be induced 10 undertake. This instruction will hear upon the ideals of marriage. It will teach that marriage is not contracted as mere convenience and for prudential req sons, that it is not even primarily in- tended solely for the personal happi- ness of those who contract it: but that it is indispensable 10 the proper filling out of the life of human beings, that it is one of the most effective methods of developing character, and that the preservation of the integ- rity of marriage and of the family institution as whole is the only pro- cess by which truly divine order for society can be maintained.
 "No legislation, however, sagacious- ly framed, can ever effect a complete cure of marriage maladjustments but such preventive measures as give promise of diminishing the evils | which are now so sabunGants'will com mend themselves to thoughtful per- sons The fact that in twenjy-three states what are known as "common law marriages" in which a man and a woman take each other for husband and wife without the services of a 1 Gvil officer or a clergyman and ire. quently without any witnesses are recognized as valid. calls for serious | condemnation. and no reform is more | needed than legislation declaring such unions to he null and void everywhere in the United States"

Notices intended for insertion in this column should be typewriter and sent to The Graphic office. The Graphic is glad to publish these mo- tices and all church news, but it feels that if 1t contributes the space for the notices, pays the cost of having thefa put into type, and gives them two insertions, there ought to be some- body in each congregation sufficiently interested in the work of the church to typwrite and forward the copy. It is inconsiderate to expect The Graphic to take these notices over the phone, or to re-write them from poor manu- script and carbon copies.

to move from their comfortable five rooms
and elevator to such a stockade? What
would the neighbors think of such come
down?
But the Western man (he wishes his
name withheld on this very account
forced his family to go there. And he
even refused them an architect to repair
the building. In revenge, his family COM
PEELED the Western man to do all the work
of alteration himself.
The old house must have cost about
$50 1t consisted solely of logs and shin
giles, windows, doors, chimneys-not even
a gas meter. By the time the Western
man had satisfied his family, the house
was worth thousand dollars. And what
did it cost the family Of the Western man?
Estimating his labor as worth 81. so day,
they figure the whole thing to have cost
$292. Look at the pictures and see the
change. Even the dog isn't too proud to

they love-pay the more, in way, the
more they love. 1t can not be helped
She was thinking of the Warrens-the
same Warrens Monte had visited when
Chic, Jr., had the whooping cough. She
had been there when Chic, Jr., was born.
Marion had wanted her near-in the
next room. She had learned then how
they pay-these women who love. '
She had been there at other times
less dramatic times. 1t was just the
same. From the moment Marion awoke
in the morning until she sank YEARLY
into her bed at night, her time, her
thought, her heart, her soul almost, was
claimed by some one else. She gave
until nothing was left for herself.
Marjory, in her lesser way had done
much the same-so she knew the cost.
She paid her debt of duty in full-paid
until her release came. In the final two
weeks of her aunt's life she had never
left her side. Patiently, steadfastly she
helped with all there was in her to fight
that last fight. When it was over, she
did not break down, as the doctors pre-
dicted. She went to bed and slept
forty-eight hours, and awoke ten years
younger. -
SHE awoke as one out of bondage, and
stared with keen, eager eyes at new
world. For few weeks she had twenty
four hours day of her own. Then Peter
had come, and others had come and
finally Teddy had come. They wanted
to take from her that which she had just
gained-each in his own fashion.
"Give us of yourself" they pleaded
Begin again your sacrifices" . e,
Peter put it best, even though he did
not say much. But she had only to look
in his eyes to read his proposal
"Come with me and stand by my side.
while | carve my career" was what his
eyes said "I'll love you, and make you
love me as Marion loves. You'll begin
the day with me, and you'll guard my
home while I'm gone until night, and
you'll share my honors and my disap-
pointments, and perhaps time will come
when Marion will stand in the next room,
as once you stood in the next room.
Then"
1t was at this point she drew back.
When Marion laughed and said that
she was as she was because she did
not know, Marion was wrong. 1t was
because she did know-because she knew
how madly and irrevocably she would
give, if ever she gave again.
She did not wish to give like that She
wished to live little. She wished to be
herself litte-herself as she now was
She wished to get back some of those

years between seventeen and twenty
seven-taste the world as it was then.
What Teddy offered was different.
Something was there that even Peter did
not have-something that made her
catch her breath once or twice when he
sang to her like white-robed choir-boy.
1t was as if he asked her to take his hand
and jump with him into a white-hot
flame. He carried her back to seven
teen. But on guard within her stood
the older woman and she could not move
Now came Monte-asking nothing
He asked nothing because he wished
to give nothing. She was under no illu-
sion about that. There was not any,
thing idealistic about Monte. This was
to be purely an arrangement for their
mutual comfort. They were to be COM
panions on an indefinite tour of the
world-each paying his own bills.
At thirty-two he needed comrade of
some sort, and in his turn he offered him
self as an escort She found no apparent
reason then, even when she had spent
half the night getting as far as this, why
she should not Immediately accept his
proposal. Yet she still hesitated.
1t was not that she did not trust
Monte. Not the slightest doubt in the
world existed in her mind about that.
She would trust him farther than she
would even Peter-trust him farther
than any man she had ever met. He was
four-square, and she knew it. Perhaps
it was curious suggestion-it was just
because of this that she hesitated.
IN a way, she was considering Monte.
= She did not like to help him give up
responsibilities, that might be good for
him. She was somewhat disappointed
that he was willing to give them up. He
did not have the excuse she had-years of
self-sacrifice. He had always been free.
She knew there was lot to Monte.
She had sensed that from the first He
had proved it in the last two weeks. 1t
only needed some one to bring it out, and
he would average high. Love might do
1.-THE same white-hot love that had
driven Teddy mad
But that was what he was avoiding,
just as she was. Well. what of it? If
one did not reach the heights then one
did not sound the depths After all, it
was not within her province to direct
Monte's life. She was selfsh-she had
warned him of that. He was selfish
and had warned her.
Yet, as she lay there in her bed, she
felt that she was about to give up some
thing forever, and that Monte was about
to give up something forever. 1t is one
thing not to want something, and another
