Through the American Amba ssador

was still an Austrian citizen living
In Paris. The ring was in her pos
session and liable to seizure by the
French military oricials. To insur,

An unusually good strike was
brought out this week on the R.

west of this city. The drill cut
tings yielded rich ore at the 49,
foot depth in the fourth hole and
at IS the drill was still in the ore
body. 1t is said that without
any doubt the ore will assay
nearly 40 per cent.
Ore was encountered on this
lease in the first hole at the 23-
foot level which showed a 41-foot
face. In this same hole second
run of ore was encountered at
the 145-foot level. From there
to the l75-foot level the drill con-
tinued in the ore body. In the
second hole on this lease the
drill went into the ore body at
SIS and terminated at 80. A sec
ond run of ore was encountered
at the 145-foot level which, as in
the first case, terminated when
the drill reached IT'S feet. The
third hole ore was brought out at
a deeper level. The ore body
was indicated at the 85-foot level
which showed a Is feet thick
vein. This and the fourth hole
have not yet been finished. The

STOMACH MISERY
 GAS, INDIGESTION
'Pape's Diapepsin" fixes sick, sour, gassy stomachs in
 five minutes.

Time it! In five minutes all stomach distress will go. No indigestion, heart burn, sourness or belching of gas, acid, or eructations of undigested food, no dizziness, bloating, or foul breath.
 Pape's Diapepsin is noted for it's speed in regulating upset stomachs. It is the surest, quickest and most cer- tain indigestion remedy in the whole world, and besides it is harmless.
 Please for your sake, get a large Sfifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from any store and put your stomach right. Don't keep on being miserable life is too short-you are not here long, so make your stay agreeable. Eat what you like and digest it; en- joy it, without dread of rebellion in the stomach.
 Pape's Diapepsin belongs in your home anyway. Should one of the fam fly eat something which doesn't agree with them, or in case of an attack of indigestion, dyspepsia, gastritis or stomach Arrangement at daytime or during the night, it is handy to give the quickest relief known. Adv.

GOES FROM DESK TO LAUNDRY
Stenographer Quits $12-a-Week Job and Is Now Making Several Times
 That Amount Washing Clothes.

In writing on economy Thoreau once observed that mankind Is apt to "con- slider not what is truly respectable but what is respected" Most young peo- pie consider that it is a more respect able occupation to sit at desk in an office than to take in washing. A highly educated Los Angeles girl thought othersiwe and proved her point.
 AS q stenographer she was earning SIP week and, not satisfied with this pay, she quit not only her job, but the whole stenography business She was not afraid of soapsuds or hard work and she had an idea that it was better to be a prosperous laundress than an impecunious stenographer. She con ducted the business with brains and efficiency and as result is now mak- ing $6S a week without working longer hours than she did at her desk She now merely does fancy work, expen- sive and delicate fabrics for wealthy people; and the business grows. She makes something more than respect able income
 There is a lesson here for any who think any kind of honest work is be- heath them. To quote Thoreau again: 'The life which men praise and regard as successful is but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at the expense of the others?'-Los An geles Times.
