IN FIVE MINUTES
NO SICK STOMACH
INDIGESTION, GAS
"PAPE'S DIAPEPSlN" Is THE
QUICKEST AND SUREST
STOMACH RELIEF.

You don't know what upset your
stomach-which portion of the food
did the damage--do you? Well don't
bother. If your stomach is in re-
volt; If sick, gassy and upset, and
what you just ate has fermented and
turned sour; head idzzy and aches;
belch gases and acids and eructate un-
digested food; breath foul, tongue
coated-just take little Papes Dia-
pepsin to neutralize acidity and in five
minutes you wonder what became OF
the indigestion and distress.
Millions of men and women today
know that 1t is needless to have dys.
pepsia. A little Diapepsin occasional
ly 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 antacid is Papes Ola.
pepsin which costs only fifty cents
for a large case at drug stores. It's
truly wonderful-it stops food souring
and sets things straight, so gently
and easily, that it Is really astonish-
ing. Your stomach will digest your
meals if you keep acids neutralized.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle. ~.
The best thing to use is just plain mul-.
sifled cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonfui is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor-
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle Of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

LONDON, Feb. 13.-Rumors were
plentiful in London today that minis

minent.
Following exciting debate in the
house Of commons yesterday evening,
politicians today were contrasting
Premier LloydGeorge's guarded state
ments regarding Field Marshal Haig
and General Robertson, with former
Premier AsQuith'S warm praise OF
them and Chancellor OF the Elk
cheuuer Bonar Laws cautious denial
that Robertson had resigned as chief
Of staff 80 far as l know
Political writers in the press were
unanimous that the debates revealed
a more hostile attitude toward the
government than ever before. While
the Chronicle defended LloydGeorge
editorially, its political writer said
THE temper of the house Of com.
mons is appreciably different from
only a few days ago. There is a
new. challenging note of criticism and
q bold disposition to assert authority
now perceptible" He suggested the
possibility of a ministerial crisis.
The Times editorially defending the
government and its political writer
said:
THE debates marked definite
change in the relation Of the govern
ment and the opposition The Tele

the premier, did not comment edl
torially. It's political writer, how

MILLIONS FROM
MOVIE STARS
Theye Are Not at all Backward In
Telling How Large Income
Tax They Must
Paw.

IUnited Press Leased Wire Service
LOS ANGELES, Calf, Feb. 10
Millions from the movies" for Am
erica, Is the maxim today Of such
of filmdom's stars as Mary Pickford,
Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin,
Theda Bara, VIM. S. Hart, and other
cinema celebrities.
Called upon by the government for
payment of taxes, war and otherwise,
they are preparing TO pour into the
war chest of the nation SUM that
will make some of the money barons'
tax receipts shrink by com pariso ns.
Easy over a million dollars will
be paid by only few of America s
picture players, it was learned today,
when figures gathered by the United
showed a total running into nine
Figures.
Leading the list is Douglas Fair
banks, whose income tax and excess
profit tax, together with other taxes
levied by the government Is $450,000
Fairbanks secretary announced the
figures after consulting with U. S.
Tax Collector Carter.
Mary Pickford hands Uncle Sam
her check for $4,000, levied on her
1917 earnings as income tax, war in
come tax, excess profits tax, sur tax,
and other members Of the tax family
since HohenzoIlernism came to be a
thing to he democratized at whatever
cost.
If 1918 figures were counted, Char
ley Chaplin would lead filmdom with
over half a million. Based on his
1917 income, ON which tax is levied.
Chaplin pays the government $780,
900. This figure, his secretary in
sisted on explaining. was due to
Chaplin being idle number Of
months Of the year.
Theda Bara whose secretary admits
pays IAN enormous" income tax, is
reticent about actual figures.
1T is not a matter on which the
public should be informed she be-
lieves, and 1s echoed by lesser lights.
