HANDY STOMACH
REMEDY TO HAVE
ABOUT THE HOME
Instantly stops indigestion, gas,
sourness, hearburn or
acidity.
The moment "Pape's Diapepsin"
reaches the stomach all
distress goes.
As there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack of indi
gestion, acid stomach, dyspepsia or
tome form of stomach trouble, why
don't you keep Pape's Diapepsin in
the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you eat without the slightest
discomfort, and overcome a sour,
gassy stomach In five minutes.
Tell your pharmacist to let you read
the formula plainly printed on these
60-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then
you will readily see why It makes
indigestion, sour stomach, heartburn
and other distress go In five minutes
and relieves at once such miseries as
belching of gas, eructations of sour
undigested food, nausea, headaches,
dizziness, constipation and other
stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to
find' relief from indigestion and dys
pepsia or an out-of-order stomach
with the common every-day cures
advertised that they have about made
up their minds that they have some
thing else wrong, or believe theirs is
a case of nervousness, gastritis, catarrh
of the stomach or cancer.
This, no doubt, Is a serious mistake.
Tour real trouble Is, what you eat does
not digest; instead, it ferments and
sours, turns to acid, gas and stomach
poison, which putrefy in the digestive
tract and intestines, and, besides, poi
son the breath with nauseous odors.
A hearty appetite, with thorough
digestion, and without the slightest
discomfort or misery of the stomach
is waiting for you as soon as you
decide to try Pape's Diapepsin.

"I FEEL FINE AS A
FIDDLE" HE EXCLAIMS
Shoemaker Suffered Torments From
Disordered Stomach for a Long
Time, But Master Medicine
Quickly Relieved 'Him
Everybody out Mifilinburg way
knows John Hassenplug, for he has
saved many a sole for tho people of
this bustling community. And now
adays the busy tap, tap, tapping of his
hammer seems to have taken on a
merrier air. and if you ask him the
reason for the happy smile with which
he greets you he will say "I am well
again after so long a time of misery."
"Maybe it is my business, all day
sitting still as I do, but I have for long
suffered with stomach trouble. It was
bad, very bad. I could not eat for I
had no appetite, and my food went
against me always.
"It would make the gas to come and
I v.ould bloat up like a balloon and it
would press up hard against my heart
until I thought it would stop it.
"From constipation I suffered, too,
and piles, and no relief ever came to
me from any of the medicines that I
tried. My business was falling off and
yet I did not have enough ambition to
care.
"But that splendid ncdicine, Tanlac,
it has changed all th t and I am well
and happy again and my work is a
pleasure again. Once more I can eat
for I have now a good appetite and
food does me good. I suffer no more
from the gas and that pain around my
heart it is all gone and there is no
more constipation to bother me. That
is why I am happy, is it not enough?"
Tanlac. the famous reconstructive
tonic and stomachic invigorant, is now
being specially introduced in Harris
brug at Gorgas' Drug Store, 16 North
Third street, where the Tanlac man is
always ready to explain the benefits to
t>e derived from the use of this master
medicine. Tanlac is sold also at'the
Gorgas Drug Store in P. It. R. Station.

DAUPHIN COUNTY
TO GO REPUBLICAN
[Continued From First Page]
a ratio of a little less than three
to one.
The revised official.returns of a few
outstanding precincts of the city will
not affect the unofficial total, in the
opinion of party leaders, other than
to swell the Republican count. Among
the outstanding districts of the city
are a few which always register
heavily as Republican.
•1655 Nonpartisan
The nonpartisan registration this
year in both city and county is large,
too, as SB7 in the city and 4655 in the
county didn't state their party af
filiation.
That this will help swell the Re
publican total is the opinion of City
Chairman Harry F. Oves.
"Boar this in mind, too," pointed
out tha chairman. "Not only is the
total Republican registration in city
and county practically three times as
great as the total Democratic vote, but
the Republican total is nearly a third
larger than the combined Democratic
and nonpartisan registration. For
instance the total in county and city
is IS,711; the combined Democratic
and nonpartisan Vote in city and
county is only 12,438.
More, Too
"To the totals of course will neces
sarily have to be added a ■ lot who
will enroll at the county commission
ers' office before election day," he
said. "These will includfe those who
were unavoidably absent from the
polls because of absence on the three
registration days or because of ill
ness."
The proportionate outnumbering of
the Republicans to Democrats in the
county outside the city is followed
out in the city districts, too. In the
county outside of Harrisburg, just
9851 Republicans as compared to 3269
Democrats were enrolled, while 4655
were nonpartisan.
In the olty the total Republican
registration on the three days was
8860 while the Democrats could onlv
muster 3627. The nonpartisan regis
tration was 887.
Urge Return of Women

Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. 9. That

H. N. Pope, president o fthe Associa

Mr. Pope asks the farmers to urge
their Congressmen of every political
faith to repeal the Adamson law and

TONE UP YOUR STOMACH
There ia no tonic for the stomach that
ia not a tonic for every other part of
the body. But the stomach depends,
as does every other organ, on the blood
for its energy.
There can be no perfect digestion with*
out rich, red- blood. This is scientif
ically true. The way then to tone up
the stomach is to enrich the blood.
If jour digestion ia off and your blood
ia thin there can be no question about
it. You need Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
to restore the condition of your blood,
usocarein the selection of your diet
and tho stomach trouble will take care
of itself. •
Stomach trouble is debilitating. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills are a tome and
build up tho weakened system generally.
Most stomach remedies try to digest
your food for you. How much better
it is to tone up tho stomach eo that it
will do its own -work aa nature intend
ed. There is no pleasure in eating pre
digested food. Tone up your stomach
and your appetite and digestion will
Boon bo normal.
A diet book will be sent free on re
quest by the Dr. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Your own
druggist sella Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla
or a box will be sent by mail, postpaid,
on receipt of fifty cents.

dents from adjacent towns assisting
the Nansen fighters It seemed certain
tha£ the town would be wiped out.
Many Flco From Town
The conditions are so serious that
many families have left Nansen to
seek shelter in the adjoining towns,
having given up hope of saving their
homes.
After hours of back firing it looked
as if the fires had been placed under
control, but late yesterday afternoon
a strong galo came which made it im
possible for the fire fighters to check
the flames, whfen are rapidly eating
their way into Nansen.
During the last few weeks there has
been little rain in this section and as a
esult the slashings and leaves, assisted
y a blazing Indian summer sun, are
proving to be easy prey for the fires.
The flames are spreading rapidly
toward the town of Russell City and
last night were onty a milo distant
from that town, with virtually no hope
of checking them.
Reports from Brookston said that
the flames were within a quarter of a
mile of the town and that within one
hour would be in the borough. Calls
for help were sent to Tlonesta and
Kane and many went to the aid of the
district. Later one of tho men came
back and said the town was doomed
and that the residents were fleeing.
Efforts to get into communication with
other towns in the district have proved
futile and telegraph and telephone
companies report that their lines are
down for miles.
