Every family here ought to keep some Diapepsln in the house, as any one of you may have an attack of Indigestion or Stomach trouble at any time, day r night. This harmless preparation will digest anything you eat and overcome a distressed, out-or-order stomach five minutes afterwards. If your meals don't tempt you, or what little you eat seems to fill you, or lays like a lump of lead In your stomach, or if you have heatburn, that Is a sign of Idigestion. Ask your Pharmacist, for a 50-cent case of Pape's Dlapepsin and take a little just as soon as you can. There will be no sour risings, no'bleching of undigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heatburn, fullness or heavy -feeling In the stomach. Nausea, Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness or Intestinal griping. This will all go, and besides, there will be no sour food left over in the stomach to poison your breath with nauseous odors. Pape's Diapepsln Is a certain cure for out-of-order stomachs, because it prevents fermentation and takes hold of your food and digests It just the same as if your stomach wasn't there. Relief in five minutes from all stomach misery is at any drug store, waiting for you. These large 50-cent cases contain more than sufficient to cure almost any chronic case of Dyspepsia, Indigestion or any other Stomach trouble.

Mr. Gavit was asked if he had any opposition to the granting of the franchise of the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend line over Indiana avenue to points east to Gary. He said, "The Gary & Interurban company is not opposing the granting of a franchise to any company. It is true that we are asking for practically the same route to East Chicago that the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago line wants, but we believe that we have a prior
claim to this route, for I have been dis-T

"The trip to Dowagiac to quietly con
sider the case and the statement as to
the judge's health will cause many a
hearty laugh. If the Hammond scribes
could only see the Judge with his vol
umes of law and page after page of
bench notes before him, with his re
porter almost breaking his arm in his
efforts to get all that the court says In t,. r
his lengthy opinion, and if they could XjcWb muagu vuugicgaiiuu-
see a rew or tne many otner evidences
that the case Is being sifted here and not in Dowagiac, they, too, would laugh, j
"The Hammond article was shown by the News to Judge Tuthill and he remarked: "They ought not talk that way about me. I am not even tired. Siqce hearing evidence in the Gary remonstrance case I sometimes long for a
ood opportunity to open the case and
hear more evidence. I came to love eaclf and every lawyer, all of the parties and many of the witnesses. It was sore trials to the court when both parties rested.' "
