Unexpected ChivaIry.

1t was the evening rush hour on an
uptown subway, and good manners
were at their lowest ebb. fresh
surge OF humanity brought in fluffy
haired girl and a tall young man in
khaki who bore all the visible and in
visible signs Of the ewly-commission-
ed officer at home on brief holiday.
Someone dragged himself out of his
narrow place with a kind Of mental
groan, and the girl thanked him
prettily as she sank into the seat. The
soldier acknowledged his gratitude
also.
Then an anaemlc looking man. VINO
might have. been a cutler or shirtwaist
maker and was certainly some sort OF
weary indoor worker, got out of his
seat next the girl without warning and
waved the little man In khaki into the
place.
Why I can't take your seat!" pro-
tested the new officer, with nice,
boyish, unofficial blush. why should
you do such thing for me"
"Tain't for YOU" the other said. UNI
graciously. Its for the lady. Maybe
she won't have so much time to talk
|" you. Ma. in. si,. don't Ike 70 was q
a minute. Sit down., and he reached
for a strap with q sublime uncon-
seriousness of his own chivalry.-New

RID STOMACH OF
GASES, S0URNESS,
AND INDIGESTION
PAPE'S DlAPEPSlN RELIEVES
STOMACH DISTRESS IN FIVE
MINUTES.

You don't want a slow remedy when
your stomach is bad, or an uncertain
one, or a harmful one-your stomach
is too valuable; you mustn't injure it
with drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin Is noted for Its
speed in giving relief; Its harmlessness;
it's certain unfailing action In regulat-
ing sick sour. gassy stomachs. Its
quick relief in indigestion, dyspepsia
and gastritis, when caused by acidity,
has made 1t famous the world over.
Keep this woderful stomach sweet
ener in your home; keep 1t handy; get
a large fifty-cent case from any drug
store, and then II anyone should eat
something which doesn't agree with
them; II what they eat lays like lead,
ferments and sours and forms gas;
causes headache, dizziness and nausea;
eructations Of acid and undigested food
remember as soon as Pape's Diapep-
sin comes In contact with the stomach
It helps to neutralize the excessive
acidity; then all the stomach distress
caused by it disappears. Its prompt
ness, certainty and ease in overcoming
such stomach disorders isA revelation
