BAR TO DISCUSS COURTS PROBE Association Will Consider Action on Report. Further discussion of the report on activities and conditions in the criminal municipal courts made by an investigating committee three months ago will take a prominent place on the program of the meeting of the Indianapolis Bar Association tonight at the Columbia Club, Michael E. Foley, president announced today. The report was read to members at the Dec. 12 session by Paul G. Davis, chairman of the committee, after a probe of several weeks. The committee's statement was considered pro and con by the members and then allowed to lay, pending deferred action. The report pointed out conditions existing in the city jail, courts, and stressed the lack of harmony between the, courts, police department nd the prosecutor’s office. The committee also asked that a special group of bar association members be appointed to work with the courts. The report also criticized the “working arrangement” between "certain attorneys and bondsmen” and recommended that “unnecessary arrests be reduced to a minimum.”

ACID STOMACH RUINS APPETITi

Thin, pale people—the despondent sort who never have an appetite, and complain of headaches, indigestion, dizziness, biliousness, usually have too much acid in their stomach. And unless they displace it, any food they eat turns into sour bile and foul gases, which poison their system. Pape’s Diapepsin dissolves that poisonous acid, sw r eetens the stomach and digests your meals. Many thousands of people have brought back the appetite of their youth and gained weight simply by chewing one of the pleasant tablets of Pape’s Diapepsin after meals. It does what it promises. That's the reason 5 million packages are used a year—ask your nearest druggist for it.—Advertisement.
