The joint commission last Spring de-
cided to ask the House and Senate to

would have made $500,00 available for

to get action on this proposal In the
House during the first part Of the spe-

that this resolution Is still pending.

Since it involves an appropriation of

CHAPTER XIV

A SHTORETH had all she could
"A do, coaxing Monty to have din
ner with them.
He had given her his address, and
she had Felix drive her over to the
Left Bank.
Felix, very grand in his bottle
green livery and his shiny puttees,
driving the beautiful car, which was
also bottle-green.
Perhaps Monty wouldn't be at
home, but she had chosen Monday,
hoping for the best. Hardly any
shops were open on Monday, SO
probably there wasn't anywhere for
radio salesman to call. Anyhow
she could leave him a note.
She was admitted by lady of
generous proportions and swapping
black eyes, who escorted her to
Montys room, and assured her that
he would return shortly.
Felix smiled hastily, showing his
upper teeth, which loked like
squirrels.
She was getting uneasy, wher
Monty made noisy appearance.
She could hear him downstairs.
Bon Jour, Madamel Bon Jo'lr!"
He had seen the car, and wa; up
the stairs, three at a time.

He had her by the arm, and was

the hall.

they'd thi.lk-they're French, aren't

If you're troubled with "ndiges- tion," excessive gas, belching, heart burn, distressing pains after eating, it's a sure sign of acid stomach. Correct this condition ard you can eat almost anything.
 There gre 6 numDe' of effective en.i-acids cn the market, but most of them give only temporary relief, Often they upset the chemical bal snce of the stomach, retard diges- tion. and do mo~e harm than good. Don't experiment. Pape's Diapepsin is the tried-aHd-true remedy you can always depend on for instant re- lief and quick restoration of normal digestion.
 Pape's Diapepsin does not retard but aids digestion, because it does not interfere with the flow of gastric juices. It neutralizes acids, soothes the infamed lining of the stomach and promotes perfect assimilation.
