Every family r. here ought to
ktepsomeDiapepsin in the house,
as any one of you may have an at
tuck of Indigestion or Stomach
trouble at any time, day or night.
This harmless preparation will
digest anything you eat and over
come a sour stomach five min
utes afterwards.
If your meals don't tempt you,
or what little you do eat seems to
till you, or lays like a lump of
lead in your stomach, or if you
have heartburn, that is a sign of
Indigestion.
A6k your Pharmacist for a 50
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and
take one triangule after supper
tonight. There will 6e no sour
risings, no belching of. undigest
ed food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, full
ness or heavy feeling in the
stomach. Nausea, Debilitating.
Headaches, Dizziness or Intesti
nal griping This will all go, and,
besides, there will bo no sour
food left over in tho stomach to
po son your breatn with nause
ous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a certain
care for all stomach misery, be
cause it will take hold of your
food and digest it just the same
as if your stomach wasn't there.
Actual, prompt relief for all
your stomach misery is at your
Pharmacist, waiting for you.
These large 50-cent cases con
tain more than sufficient to cure
a case of Dyspepsia or Indigestion.

time, everybody was wide awake
aud up to learn where the the
was, aud to render any assist
ance possible to stay the pi ogress
of the devouring element. It was
soon found that the fire was in
John Bollinger's barn, and had
already gained such headway,
that there was little else to de
than let it burn, and see to it that
the tiro did not spread toother
buildings. Fortunately the air
was calm, and it did not require
so much effort to keep the fire
within bounds. .In addition to
the loss of the building, 5,000
feetoffine worked lumber, and
about 7,000 plastering Ltth were
destroyed. The loss is said to
be partly covered by insurance.

Tho patron turned out his

dust, smne lint and a small bail
of black fluff.
"Thuio's tho reason," said the
