When the food you eat goes into
your acid-soaked stomach, it sours
and can't digest, makes foul gas
and sour bile. The blood takes these
poisonous acids and carries them
through the body. Naturally it
makes you miserable and despond-
ent, because your system is not
nourished-you lose weight.
Pape's Diapepsin dissolves the
acids and sweetens the stomach. 1t
digests the food; no more sour bile
is taken up by the blood. Your
appetite is like youngsters again,
and gradually you get back your
health, flesh and energy.
Chew a tablet or two of Pape
Diapepsin after meals. 1t tastes
good, and relieves the misery of in
digestion in five minutes. 1t will
keep your stomach young and Wig
orous so you can eat anything you
want without being afraid. of the
consequences

Heeke, of I'LL NJ st. N. W., de.

is suing to annual the marriage.

The child-bride is a pretty blonde,
with blue eyes, naturally rosy
cheeks and, when she laughs, a
pair of mischievous dimples. But
of late she doesn't laugh very much.

Marjorie is pupil at the Immacu-

husband until few days ago was a

that parish. They had planned, after
the non-Catholfc ceremony in Capitol
Heights, to be united by their parish
priest. with the benediction of their
own church.
Secret Leaks Out
These plans, however, failed of full
filment. The news of the first mar
riage. which the two had kept secret,
leaked out, and Marjorie's mother
was informed.
George Brent was, until last De-
cember, the sole support of his
mother and her five children. His
father died two years ago. The
burden was too heavy for George, 50
Mrs. Brent went to work in Deem

ROBINSON PUSHES
ILLINOIS CAMP PA|GN
Candidate Tells Hearers
Hoover Has No Plan for
Farm Relief.
Ru the Associated Press.


DECATUR, Ill, october 30.-The
Illinois political situation was scruti-
nized by Senator Joe T. Robinson To-
day in preparation for his second day
of Illinois campaigning, which was to
take him as far south as East st. Louis
before nightfall.
At Peoria yesterday the Democratic
vice presidential nominee reviewed Gov
Alfred E. Smiths record of sponsoring
legislation for the benefit of women.
Last night In Springfield he said that
the small business man and banker
could not prosper unless the farmers
problem was solved
The Senator characterized Herbert
Hoover's promise of an extra session
of Congress for farm relief as "juss
another promise made at running
time"
"Mr. Hoover has no plan for farm
relief" he declared. "The only plan
the farmers want he has called State
Socialism. There is no man who hears
me who does not know that If Mr..
Hoover is elected there will be no
farm relief"
Senator Robinson's address here this
afternoon was to be followed by an
other at East st. Louis tonight.
