they see the stunts pulled off at he

to get in on the game. Remember
boys, this is only the first big fun

IN HVE MINUTES
NO SICK STOMACH
INDIGESTION, GAS
"Pape's Diapepsin" is the quick
est and surest Stomach
relief.
You don't know what upset your
stomach—which portion of tho food
did the damage—do you? Well-don't
bother. If your stomach is In a re
volt; if sick, gassy and upset, and
what you just ate has fermented and
turned sour; head dizzy and aches;
belch gases and acids and eructate
undigested food; breath foul, tongue
coated—just take a little Pape's Dia
pepsin to neutralize acidity and in
five minutes you wonder what be
came of the indigestion and distress.
Millions of men and women to-day
know that it is needless to have dys
pepsia. A little Diapepsin occasional
ly keeps the stomach sweetened,
and they eat their favorite foods
without fear.
If your stomach doesn't take care
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 antacid is
Pape's Diapepsin which costs only
fifty cents for a large case at drug
stores. It's truly wonderful —it stops
food souring and sets things straight,
so gently and easily, that it is really
astonishing. Your stomach will digest
your meals if you keep acids neu
tralized. —Adv.
