FOOD SOuRINCIN . STOMACH CAUSES
 INDIGESTION, GAS
TAPES DRAPEPSIN" RELIEVES STOMACH DISTRESS IN
 FIVE MINUTES.

Wonder what upset your stomach which portion of the food did the dam age-do you? Well, don't bother If your stomach is in a revolt; if sick, gassy and upset, and what you just ate has fermented and turned sour; head dizzy and aches; belch gases and acids and eructate undigested food; breath foul, tongue coated-just take little Pape's Diapepsin to help neutralize acidity and in five minutes you wonder what became of the indigestion and distress.
 Millions of men and women today know that it is needless to have dys- pepsia. A little Diapepsin occasionally keeps the stomach sweetened 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 Diapep- sin, which costs only fifty cents for a large case at drug stores. It's truly wonderful-it stops fermentation and acidity and sets things straight, so gently and easily that it is really as-. tonishing.

F BACkACHY ], AND KIDNEYS HURT
DRINK LOTS OF WATER AND < STOP EATING MEAT FOR A WHILE IF YOUR BLADDER
 TROUBLES YOU.

: When you wake up with backache and duN misery in the kidney region 1t generalIy means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known au- thor1ty. Meat forfns uric acid which everworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste. else you have backache sick headache. dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have Rheumatic twinEes. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment. channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good, reliable physi- elan at once or get from your pharma- ctst about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with Hthia. and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irri- tates, thus ending bladder weakness. z lad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effer- vescent Whitewater drink.

Rev. P. c. Wright Makes Favorable
 First impression.

Rev. Dr. Peter c. Wright. formerly of Norwich, newly appointed pastor of the Asylum Avenue Baptist church Hartford, spoke for the first time at that church, Sunday. His sue ject was, A Definitely Directed Dedication This sermon was finely done, and gave evidence of much careful and schol- arly thought, the Hartford papers say, and quote Rev. MT. Wright as follows:
 ''The world has a sober mind to- day. This is a supreme moment of opportunity for advancing the King dom of God. because men everywhere are thinking upon the things of des- tiny. The men in the worlds great training camps are willing to pause and consider a manly presentation of Christian themes. They are thinking upon human destiny. The mighty east has discovered that it's ancient philosophies do not meet the demands or modern times. Its people are reaching out after the teachings which satisfy the needs of life. The council which at present is sitting in Petrograd is filled with serious pur- pose. Fishermen from the Lena river: cattlemen from the Crimea;. the bet ter educated from Petrograd, are sit ting through long hours to discuss matters of national concern. Every where men are concerned with great things related to human welfare"

 The Committee on Food Supply and Conservation, to fill the gap between the time of erection of some of the bulletin boards and the shipment of this first material has, at the request of the council, sent out some of it's posters for use on the boards. In putting up the new poster, these are to be carefully removed and placed near the bulletin boards because they are of permanent value.

MURDER OF RUTH CRUGER SOLVED BY WOMAN LAWYER; FOUND OVER
 SCORE OF WHITE SLAYER DENIS

NEW YORK, July 3, (By MaiD.- Why did Mrs. Humiston, American woman lawyer succeed in solving the Ruth Cruger mystery when New Works most famous sleuths failed?
 Because she believed in the innate goodness of girl nature, as opposed to the police theory that most gir!S who leave home are bad.
 When little eighteen-year-old Ruth Cruger disappeared early in February, after going to the motorcycle repair shop of Alfredo Cocchi in West l21th street to get her skates sharpened, the New York detective bureau made a perfunctory investigation, winked it's cynical eye and said, Another girl gone wrong"
 Not so with Mrs. HumiSton.
 'In the first place" she said, "there were just four persons working on the case, my secretary, two private ue- tectives and my self. We had utmost confidence in one another. My first in- quiries convinced me that Ruth had not run away; I felt sure she was a good girl and Cocchi could solve the mystery.
 "When Cocchi was discovered in Italy, I felt my murder theory was right. It became necessary to make a thorough search of the cellar under the workshop We began that work but were stopped by Mrs. Cocchi. l went to the police and obtained au thority to continue the excavation that resulted in finding the body
 Back of this simple story in Mrs.
