RID STOMACH OF
GASES, SOURNESS,

"Pape's Diapepsin" Relieves Stomach
Distress in Five Min
utes

You don't want 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; ITS
certain, unfailing action in regulating
sick, sour, gassy stomachs. Its quick
relief in Indigestion, dyspepsia and gas
tritis when caused by acidity has made
it famous the world over.
Keep this wonderful stomach sweet
ener in your home-keep it handy-get
a large ffty-cent case from any drug
store. and then if anyone should eat
something which doesn't agree with
them; if what they eat lays like lead,
ferments and sours and forms gas; causes
headache, dizziness and nausea; eructa
tons OF acid and undigested food-re-
member, as soon as Pape's Dispepsin
comes in contact with the stomach IT
helps to neutralize the excessive acidty,
then all the stomach distress caused by
it disappears. Its promptness, certain
ty and ease in overcoming such stomach
disorders is revelation to those who
try it.-Adv.

PACKERS 81. 288 A YEAR
AMPLE FOR FIVE, HE SAYS
Nelson Morris Also Thinks That Three
Theatre Visits Are
Enough.

Chicago, Feb 2l.~Nelson Norris ties
tifying before Federal Arbitrator Al
schuler in the inquiry into packing house
wages, said he thought wages paid Nor
ris Il Co. employees were sufficient, and
that 81 ,2SS a year was infinitely higher
than necessary for a family of five to
live on"
A tentative budget for living expenses
submitted by Frank p Walsh, attor-
ney for the employees, was shown Nor
ris. He declared carfare for children GO
ing to school was unnecessary and that
attendance at the theatre three times a
year was sufficient entertainment. Nor
ris thought $50 year each TO clothe
three children is too much and three
pairs of shoes year each looks like one
pair too many
Morris explained that. owing to va
riable receipts, often there is not enough
work for go hours a week, but that his
paid minimum of 40 hours
The maximum wage is 271a cents per
hour
Morris said he was willing to adopt an

SHIPPING ON
THE INCREASE
Low Point Passed Several
Weeks Earlier Than Had
Been Expected
RISE IN TONNAGE TO
CONTINUE STEADILY
The Result of a Number of
Causes-Increased Output
of American Yards

Washington, Feb. 2l.--The low point
of available shipping has been passed, tw,
or three weeks earlier than officials ex
pectcd, and confidence was expressed yes
terday that the amount of shipping
available for the future would increase
steadily.
Several factors We're said to have con.
tributed to advancing the amount OF
available tonnage.
Included among them were the in.
creased efficiency of the offensive against
the submarines and the beginning of de-
liveries from American shipyards.
The transfer OF neutral shipping to
trade outside the war zone, thereby re-
leasing tonnage for trans Atlantic serv-
ice, also contributed to the increase of
available bottoms. Improvements in har-
Dor defenses and facilities in France so
as to facilitate the unloading of trans
ports, likewise tended to speed up the
release of ships, which are enabled TO
make trips more frequently than usual.
If production continues unhampered by
inpoi bipuohtS anu ~ pPCiuNioho ,ohbih7
lie to give the results expected, the
amount of tonnage is expected TO show
steady gains as the year progresses.
There has been a steady advance since
Feb. l. and it is believed this will contin-
lie if the workers do their part

ment yesterday called on all patriotic
shipworkers to enroll in the public serv-
ice reserve. No amount of increased food
production, decreased food use. or food
substitution and saving would help I'M
less ships for sending food across the
Atlantic were available, he said.
MY anxieties about ships are no less
numerous and various than those about

the utmost earnestness that | endorse
the idea of creating a voluntary reserve
of men from which the man power nee

WOMEN ON
THE BATTLEFIELD

The work of women on the battlefield or
in the hospitals, nursing, cheering and
comforting the wounded or dying, is a
very small part of what women do to pro-
mote a country's fighting capacity.
Many of our American women are not
strong enough to endure these hardships.
Thousands of women in the United States
have overcome their sufferings, and have
been cured of women's ills by pr Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. This temperance
medicine, though started nearly half GEN.
tury ago, sells most widely today, because
it is made without alcohol or narcotics. 1t
can now be had in tablet form as well as

 To neutralize these irritating aclds:; to cleanse the kidneys and flush o1f the body's urinous waste get four oun- ces of lad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in a 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, combined with lithia, and has been used for geenrations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
