OLD STOMACHS
MADE NEW
So You Eat What You Like
Without Distress

Diapepsin is a powerful influence
in the digestion of meat, eggs, cheese,
butter, fats, bread, white flour food,
cereals and almost everything we eat.
Thus, when you chew one or two
of these remarkable digesters you
practically. get a. new stomach if 1t
seems old, played out and capable
only of handling a spoonful of soup
and a small cracker.
A host of people, apprehensive of
stomach ulcers and catarrh of the
stomach, soon discove'ed that Dia-
pepsin removed all We pain, full
ness. gassiness, sour, acid risings-
cause of headache, biliousness, sleep
.lessness and many other distresses,
besides promoting hearty appetite
and increasing health and strength.
BY all means try these digesters.

pepsin at any drug store.-Adver-

RHEUMATISM PAINS
ARE NOW IN SEASON
Says glass of Salts helps to
overcome Rheumatism
acid.

rheumatism is easier to avoid than
ity. We are advised to dress warm
ly, keep the feet dry, avoid exposure,
and above all, drink plenty of good
water and avoid eating sweets of all
kind.
rheumatism is caused by body
waste and acids resulting from food
fermentation. 1t is the function of
the kidneys to filter this poison from
the blood and cast it out in the urine;
the pores of the skin are also a
means of freeing the blood of this
impurity. In damp and chilly cold
thus forcing the kidneys to do dou-
BILE work. they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate this
waste and acids, which keeps accum-
ulating and circulating through the
system. eventually settling in the
joints ard muscles, causing stiffness,
soreness and pain, called rheuma-
tism.
AT the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts put a tablespoon
full in a glass Of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is helpful to neutralize
acidity, remove waste matter, also to
stimulate the kidneys, thus often rid
ding the blood of rheumatic poison.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject
to rheumatism. -Advertisement.

BAD DAY WITH
REED GR|LL|NG
Utilities Magnate Laughed
At, Which Had Not Hap
pened in Years.
BY Roscoe Il. Fleming
Times staff OorresDondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Samuel
insult, than whom there is no more
important citizen in Chicago, and
who admits giving $237,OOO to Illinois
primary campaign funds, got several
shocks during his appearance before
the Reed campaign investigating
committee.
He was laughed at in public, some
thing Chicagoans say has not
occurred in almost quarter
century.
After refusing newspaper pho
tographers permission to snap his
picture, it was snapped anyway,
showing him in the uncomfortable
position of being seated before the
committee.
He was directed to produce a can
celled check for 100000, Senator
Reed Of Missouri, asking:
Did you draw the whole 100000
from the till of one of Your public
utility companies?"
He was advised to see the folks to
whom he contributed certain S40.-
900 and get permission to make pub
| lie their names.
He was given friendly advice"
by Reed to come clean with the COM
mittee.
insult spent n most uncomfortable
day in Washington.
He was fustered several times. He
admitted once that Reed had
trapped" him into making an adj
mission during his first. appearance
before the committee in Chicago, and
agreed that Reed possessed a
superior intellect" He was nervous
and mopped his brow frequently.
After insult had told Reed he did
not know upon which of his several
Chicago banks he had drawn the
check for 100000 political con-
tributions and had tried to avoid p: o.
ddcing the check, finally agI ced to do
so.
But he had pressing business en-
| gagements in Chicago and did rot
want to come back personally. Reed
directed him to return Saturday.

Boils,
Skin Eruptions

Skilled physicians recognize the APP
pearance of pimples, boils and other
skin eruptions as being an indication
Of an abnormal condition Of the sys-
tenn. This is why so many thousands
have been enabled to free themselves
of these unsightly blemishes and
painful annoyances by taking a
course of S.S.S. You owe it to your-
self to try S.S.S. 1t helps Nature
build up red corpuscles. 1t improves
the processes by which the blood is
nourished. 1t is time-tried and re-
liable.
81 suffered from impure blood
was weak, and 1 had lost so much
weight, didn't look natural. 1 had
pimples and was also bothered with
a breaking out that itched terribly.
I also had boils one after another.

reached 1907, as compared with 233
in 1921. Many applicants for adj
mission have been forced away be-
cause of lack of room in this school,
as in other divisions Of the State uni
Versity.
The school cannot supply the de-
mand within Indiana for it's gradu-
ates, who are sought as teachers and
music supervisors, Dean B. w. Mer-
rill states.
Every inch of space in two small
wooden buildings is utilized for mu-
steal instruction, he points out, from
7 m. continuously throughout the
day and into the night.
Private rooms in nearby homes are
also pressed into service. Eff
ficiency of instruction is seriously i'm
paired through the bedlam of con-
f1icting sounds which prevails in the
frame buildings.
The worst of the situation, Dean
Merrill states, is that students are
now being forced out Of the State for
the musical instruction they seek at
home as a means of qualifying for
positions as teachers and supervisors
Of music in Indiana.
Similar Cases
Similar conditions prevail in the
schools of medicine and education
and in certain courses in the college
of arts and sciences.
A report by the United States bu-
reau of education for the year 1928
indicated that 1883 Indiana students
left the State that year for a higher
education.
They took with them over $4,000
900, according to estimates.
Two went to school in neighboring
States to every one attracted to Indi-
ana institutions from those States.
The bill now before the General
Assembly would establish a two-cent
tax levy over a ten-year period, be-
ginning in 1929.
This would provide a sum during
that period of approximately 100000
900 to be used in erecting and i'm
proving buildings at Purdue Univer-
sity, Indiana University and the nor
NAL schools at Terre Haute and
Muncie.
The bill was introduced to meet the
demands of the schools when their
requirements were found to be so
large as to make their inclusion in
the State budget for this year in
advisable.

Of the roadway on a front foot basis
Of S2.92 and 81 ,301.41 for the curbing
on basis of 81 cents per front foot.
The trustees declare the Improvement

vantage to the Mclean property, and
the repair of the avenue was for the
interest of the general public and to
afford better facility for the residents
OF Maryland to get to Washington.
The petition discloses that Friend
ship contains more than IS acres and
is assessed for taxation at S525 433.
Attorneys McKenney & Flannery,

If any differences exist between
President Coolidge and Secretary of
Commerce Hoover following the for
mer's pronouncement at the White
House recently to the effect that even
If Secretary of State Kellogg retired
from office Mr.. Hoover would not be
appointed to succeed him, it was not
in evidence at the breakfast party
given by the President yesterday
morning at Is Dupont circle.
The incident was not mentioned on
that occasion, and the President and
Mr.. Hoover appeared to be on the
friendliest of terms.
Nor was there anything at this
breakfast gathering to suggest that
the President had arranged 1T as a
gesture to correct the impression his
remarks about Mr.. Hoover caused
and to give public notice that the re-
lation between himself and the Secre.
tary of Commerce were just as friend
ly as ever.
The Presidents intimates said today,
however, that the President had no
intention of saying anything that
would create a feeling on the part
of the public that he wanted to rebuke
Mr.. Hoover and that the President
regretted the gossip and speculation
that have arisen following his refer
ence to Mr. Hoover and the State
Department portfolio

STIMSON PREPARED
TO BEGIN PARLEyS
Hopes to See Diaz Soon, He
Says, on Arrival at
Managua, Nicaragua.

Dy IlAE AsGp'idttQ iCSos
MANAGUA, Nicaragua. April 1S.--
Henry l.. Stimson, former American
Secretary of War, was ready today to
begin his conferences, with the object
of learning, as the personal repre-
sentative of President Coolidge, the
true state of affairs in Nicaragua. He
arrived here yesterday from Corinto,
where he had landed in the morning
from the cruiser Trenton, which
brought him from Panama.
TO the Associated Press correspond
ent Mr.. Stimson said he hoped TO see
the conservative president, Adolfo
Diaz, today, but he emphasized that
little news would develop at this end
from his visit, as all his observations
would be reported direct to the State
Department at Washington and to
President Coolidge.
Regarding reports that his visit was
in connection with revision of the
treaty proposal made by President
Diaz regarding American canal rights
through Nicaraguan territory, or in
terVention by the United States in the
civil strife in Nicaragua. Mr.. Stimson
remarked that all information con
cerning his mission must be given
out at Washington. He did say, how
ever, that he planned to look over the
entire situation from an impartial
standpoint.
If weather and travelling conditions
permitted, he said, he would visit
Leon, Granada, Matagalpa and other
places where fighting has taken place.
He thought his stay in Nicaragua
would be only a matter of weeks.
Mr.. Stimson declared that if Juan
Sacasa. the liberal president, or Gen.
Moneada, the chief liberal commander,
desired to communicate with or visit
him he was ready to receive them,
but he was not suggesting such
step.
