For over five years it seemed like everything 1 enjoyed eating would disagree with me-" says Charles L. Garman, 5438 Irving St., Philadelphia. l suffered from headaches; was ner- vous; couldn't sleep right.
 "I tried lot of things for indi- gostion, but nothing really helped until my doctor started me on Pape's Diapepsin.i I have used five packages and have gained five pounds. I eat anything-fried things, hot cakes; foods that used to disagree. seldom feel the least discomfort nowadays, but when I do I just take tablet of Pape's Diapepsin and in a mo- ment my stomach is all right
 When thousands like MT. Garman are coming right out in public to praise Pape's Diapepsin, there seems no reason to doubt that it does what is claimed for it to help people who suffer from acid-dyspepsia, and the heartburn, gas, nausea, belching, headaches, dizziness, etc., caused by this common ailment. But those who wish further proof before buying may easily have it. The makers agree to send anyone a trial package absolutely FREE. Just write ''Pape's Diapepsin," Wheeling. w. Va.

Departments Cutting to Minimum in Order to Avoid Temporary Loan and Chief Executive Feels Obliga- tiOns Can Be Met Early in May

Despite the statement by Control Ter Daniel J. Leary that he cannot see how the city treasury will be May without borrowing, Mayor Frank Hayes remarked. Well, we aren't going to borrow" this con- versation taking place at the meet ing of the board of finance yester- day.
 Mayor Hayes went on to state that there will be a six or seven week period during which the city will be in difficult financial condition but as will be in April, there will be suffi- cient money incoming to take care of expenses. Letters were sent out to all department heads early in January urging them to cut down expenses and purchases until May. Only supplies necessary for the prop CT conduct of their departments are allowed to the men in charge.
 The large number of men being carried on the street department payroll, the increased charity de- partment expenses, and the pay ments of interest charges on the two million dollar funding bond indebt- edness, has been a burden on the city treasury and has depleted 1t so that, as mas been stated, 1t Will De difficult to "carry on" until May.

There are many names to come off this list and as a matter of fact there were but 46,500 bills sent out, there being that many persons on the list.
 Payment was deferred on two charter commission bills for the months of November and December and those were ordered tabled as the controller was instructed to re- vert to the old method of reporting monthly on the amount in the sur- plus resource sinking fund instead of the method suggested by the charter commission whereby the treasurer of the sinking fund was instructed to set up an item show ing a deficit of $1,200.000 and then to pay bills, turning in money as it came into the city treasury.

Perfect Use of
 Ultra Violet Ray
Process of Putting Vitamin D Into Foods In=
 vented

New York, Feb GA thirty-year-
 old scientist of the University of Cincinnati has perfected 8 process for putting vitamin D into foods, and for sterilizing foods. He is George Sperti, and patents covering his invention have been sold by the university to the General Foods Corporation of New York. Profits go to the university for fur ther research.
 Professor Sperti applied the quan- tum theory of physics to biology. One of the most important applica- the action of ultraviolet light in forming vitamin D. He explained his invention to Chester Morton, who writes about it in the February Re- view of Reviews.
 Wears ago milk contained a
 pretty good quantity of vitamin D. said Professor Sperti. Cows ate green plants which contained this
 quality and they themselves were out in the sunlight much of the time. To-day, however, there is So much smoke and dirt in the air, even in the country, that COWS no longer get the same amount of sunlight. Also they are sometimes fed artificial food ana as d result iiilik Ho lOHbeT con- tains a sufficient quantity of the vit- amin.
 Yet when milk was subjected to the ordinary ultra violet ray the ex- pertinent was not successful, for : while the vitamin was produced it was also destroyed, and undesira ble
 changes in taste and odor occurred
 Now the wave length of light at
 which the vtamin is produced is different from that at which 1t is destroyed and also from that at which other undesirable changes
 take place. By Altering the ultra
 violet rays we can keep the bene- ficial ones and shut out the harmful.
 In this way milk can be made to contain vitamin D."
