AT ONCE! STOPS STOMACH MISERY
 AND INDIGESTION
~Fape's Diapepsin" makes sick, sour, gassy Stomachs
 feel fine.

Do some foods you eat hit back taste good, but work badly; ferment into acids and cause sick, sour, gassy stomach? Now, Mr. or Mrs. Dyspeptic, jot this down: Pape's Diapepsin helps neutxalize the excessive acids in the stomach so your food won't sour and upset you. There never was anything so safely quick, so certainly effective. No difference how badly your stomach is upset you usually get happy relief in five minutes, but what pleases you most is that it helps to regulate your stomach so you can eat your favorite foods without fear.
 Most remedies give you relief some- times-they are slow, but not sure. "Pape's Diapepsin" is positive in neu- tralizing the acidity, so the misery won't come back very quickly.
 You feel different as soon as "Papes Diapepsin' comes in contact with the stomach-distress just vanishes-your stomach gets sweet, no gases, no belch- ing. no quotations of undigested food, your head clears and you feel fine.
 Go now, mako the best investment you ever made, by getting large 50- cent case of Papes Diapepsin from any drue store. You realize in five min utes how needless it is to suffer from indigestion. dyspepsia or any stomach disorder due to acid fermentation.- Adv

CONDENSED MILK FOR FREG I n
Most Of the People Of Country Ara
Making Acquaintance Of Product
for First Time.

Scarcity Of milk has introduced the
French people-most Of them for the
first tlme-t0 condensed milk, and, as
this has taken an important place In
their dietary, has given rise to several
careful studies Of its value as food.
Doctors L0ir and Legagneux Of lie
Havre report that for adults there Is
no fault to be found with IL.
On its use as food for babies, Pro-
fessor Marian makes report to the
Academy Of Medicine. He condemns
It as steady diet, but says that,
skinned and sweetened, condensed
milk Is better than fresh for dyspep-
tic baby, and, In hot weather, espe-
clally in cities, much safer, as there
Is little opportunity for It's spelling.
Except under these circumstances, or
when fresh milk cannot be had, con-
densed milk should not be given to
babies.
Adults should use unsklmmed con-
densed milk, but Professor Marian In
slsts that the only form for babies Is
that made from skinned and sweet
ened milk. And II Is suggested that
every maker be obliged TO label his
brand either "Sklmmed and Sweet
ened" or "Unskmmed."

BUYS STATUE MADE IN 1887
American Collector Pays $4,000 for
Piece Of Art Once owned by
King Of Prussia.

For the reported price Of $4,000,
an American art collector has acquired
"La Frileuse," or "The Shlvering Girl"
a bronze statue by HOudOn.
II bears the famous sculptor's sigma
ture, and Is dated 1887.
The statue was first exhibited in the
Salon, at Paris, in 1881 and Is said To
have then passed into the possession Of
the king Of Prussia, although this he's
never been verified. II was sought In
all of the royal collections Of Germany
by Lady Charles Dixie, but she never
found IL.
Later the work turned up in the col
lection of Richard Wallace, which was
bought almost In its entirety by Sir
Murray Scott. Sir Murray Scott left
his objects Of art TO Lady Sackville
West, who sold them to Jacques Selig-
man of New York for about $1,000, 900.
HoudOn made the same statue in
marble, which now Is in the Musee de
Montpelier, France. In the marble
work, however, he added drapery to
the form, apparently to make II less
likely to be broken. No other example
Of this statue of the same size Is known
to exist.

Human Leopard Trials.

A gruesome manifestation of prim-
tive belief that exists in many parts
Of the world Is described by a recent
English writer, X. j. Beattie, In his ac-
count of the human leopard trials held
in 1912 in Sierra Leone, Africa. Near
ly all primitive peoples believe In the
power of certain men to convert them
selves into wild beasts. The werewolf
legend of the French-Canadlans Is an
example. In Sierra Leone n certain
cult took advantage of this supersti-
ton to terrorize and kill their fellows,
whom they cooked and devoured.
These men were supposed to be able
to take the forms of leopards at will,
and owing to the spell of terror In
which they held the people their mur-
ders were extremely hard to detect.

MARRIAGE BY coMPULSloH.

Germany is determined to repair its
loss in man power due to the war In
every way possible, and commission
erected for the purpose proposes COM
pulsory marriage for all persons at
twenty With state hid where needed.
Also childless married persons are to
be punished, these and other plans be-
ing formed in the hope that they will
restore the losses In battle. Germany
does everything according to some
rule, but she will find 1t trihe difficult
to reverse any Of the laws Of nature.
There seems little necessity for any
thing of the sort outside the proposal
to aid persons to marry. II is univer-
sal experience that after every war
there is great jump in the birth rate
Of male children. This occurred In
France after the Napoleonlc wars, but
one unfortunate result was to reduce
the averagewtature of men by one inch.
In this country some good women are
much perturbed over what Germany is
going to do, fearing that similar ideas
may be acted on here, says Philadel-
phia Bulletin. One Of their COM
plants is against dealing with the COM
Ing babies ION the basis of the horse
breeders stable" 1t is a rather un-
fortunate expression. All eugenlcs of
the professional sort, and nearly all
sensible persons, are Of the opinion
that we should do well to copy animal
breeding in some respects. We should
pay more attention to the health and
comfort of those about to marry and
to this we shall come In time, even IL
more legal regulation may be neces-
sary.
