VSKD TO ENDURE} I In the Woman's Home'Companlon • a woman who has reduced kicking to a line art tells what she used to en- I dure before she got the habit of com-; j plaining to the proper authority when ! things did not suit her. ,| "I would endure inattention front , i sales men or women and go away front i the shop feeling angry and unsatisfied," II she says. "I permitted receiving tell- I ers in savings banks to bark sharply at mo through their barred windows, , Rudeness—nay, even insolence—front street car conductors and other of that Ilk I passed by in silence; meekly C walked round huge obstructions on ' the sidewalk, placed there by tirms i who were breaking the laws of my city by so doing; unwillingly 1 paid exorbitant taxi faron rather than argua with the chauffeur —yet, X paid; I let | waiters browbeat me Into eating in ' | ferior food sooner than send It back | and get what 1 was paying for; I sub-i | mltted to the demands of the janitor I of my apartment that 1 should take Imy milk and ice from dealers who paid tribute to him In petty graft : I rather than from more dependable , i milkmen and ice sellers; I permitted ; I gas men to be volubly impertinent. , Yea. jfll these things did 1 do, and , many others, because 1 did not havo the nerve to stand up for my rights and because, like many another lono ; woman, 1 did not want to 'get Into an argument' with any large, hulking, male man." pepsia. A little Diapepsin occasion ally keeps tlve stomach sweetened and they eat their favorite foods without fear. If your stomach doesn't take car® of your liberal limit without rebel lion; if your food is a damage in stead of a help, remember the quick est, surest, most harmless relief is Pape's Diapepsin, which costs only fifty cents for a large case at drug stores. It's truly wonderful—it stops fermentation and acidity and sets things straight, so gently and easily that it is really astonishing.
