SICK STOMSCH—PAPE'S DM
Digests All Food, Absorbs Gases
and Stops Fermentation
at Once.
Wonder what upset your stomach—
which portion of the food did the dam
age--do you? Well, don't bother. If
your stomach is in a revolt: rr sour, gas
sy and upset and what you just ate
has fermented into stubborn lumps:
your head dizzy and aches: belch gases
and acids and eructate undigested food;
breath foul, tongue coated—just take
Pape’s Diapepsin, and in five minutes
you will wonder what became of the
indigestion and distress. Millions of
men and women to-day know that it Is
nefedless to have a bad stomach. A lit
tle Diapepsin occasionally keeps the
stomach regulated and they eat their
favorite foods without fear.
If your stomach doesn’t take care of
your liberal limit without rebellion: if
your food is a damage instead of a help,
remember the quickest, surest, most
harmless relief is Pape's Diapepsin, i
which costs only fifty rents for a large -
case at drug stores. It’s truly wonder
ful—it digests food and sets things
straight so gently and easy that it is
astonishing. Please don’t gd on and on
with a weak, disordered stomach; it’s so
unnecessary.—Advt.
DIVORCES LAZY HUSBAND.
PITTSBURG. Dec. 13.—Because her
husband would not work in the sum-
l mer, complaining it was too hot, and in
. the winter too cold, in the spring be-
i cause he suffered from spring fever
and played football in the fall, Judge
Ford lias granted Mrs. Charles Stebler
a divorce.
The Court said the wife had just
cause in seeking a divorce from her
“much opposed to work” husband.
Speaker and Committee Chairmen Take Steps to
Hold Down Appropriations and Avoid Deficit
Following New Tariff Legislation.
'WASHINGTON, Dec. lJ.-TVemo-
ocr&ttc chairmen of Appropriation
Committees of the House assured
Speaker Clark and House Deader
Underwood to-day they would use
influence with their committee mem
bers to hold down all appropriations
In compliance with the Baltimore
convention platform Instruction for
economy, and thereby run no danger
of a Treasury deficit following en
actment of the new tariff law.
Chairman Fitzgerald, of the Gen
eral Appropriations Committee, sub
mitted a report estimating the reve
nues for the fiscal year 1914-1915 at
$1,035,000,000. The total estimate of
regular and permanent annual appro
priations for this year is $1,108,681,-
777. The excess of estimated apro-
priations, exclusive of deficiencies and
miscellaneous expenses, over the es
timated revenues for the year is*$73,-
681,777.
Were this deficiency to occur, it
would have to be made up through a
bond issue or be carried over against
the next fiscal receipts. Estimates for
the departments have exceeded al
ways the annual appropriations, and
the paring of estimates has been done
by the House committees, allowance
being made for the Inevitable in
creases by the Senate.
The total estimates for the fiscal
year 1914-1915 are $38,466,498 In ex
cess of the appropriations of last
year. The estimates for 1913-1914 ag
gregated $1,150,206,963 and the appro
priations aggregated $1,098,678,788.
The ax is to be wielded vigorously
this year to cut the estimates below
the. estimated revenues.
The Navy Department has in
creased its estimates for 1915 only
$3,616,810 over tn? appropriations of
1914, but the .committee will have a
majority in favor of authorization of
two battleships, for which an appro
priation will be made. As each ship
requires three years to construct, the
total appropriation for either ship wifi
not be ma,de this vear.
Increased appropriations for the
Postoffice and Agriculture Depart
ments are not to be opposed. It is
held that the Postoffice Department
wHl become a revenue producer with
contemplated extension of the postal
savings and parcel post systems.
The Department of Agriculture is to
be aided, because through educational
work with farmers it is hoped to in
crease production ,of food and reduce
the cost of living.
The $10,681,613 increase asked by
the War Department is intended to
cover assistance to be given State mi
litia.
It is probable that small public
buildings and rivers and harbors bills,
the pork barrels, will not be present
ed, and the expenditures may be kept
down.

tions
Referring to the disparaging com
parison recently made with reference
to the child labor situation in Ala

credit of Alabama, Mr. Roberts said
that the diff frence would be equalized

considerable difference in the business
of the two States. Massachusetts, he
said, now is turning out the finished

?..e thereby weavers, while Alabama
is manufacturing the crude product,
which calls for child spinners.
Quotes Federal Report.
The speaker quoted t length from
the book of Major Thom Robinson
Dorman, compiled from his report to
the national Gove, nment, and also
quoted from the report of Dr. W. H.
Oates, State Mill and Prison Inspec
tor, to the effect that the condition
of the chilu i working in the mills,
as a rule, is hettcr than that from
which they came. He also (Rioted Dr.
Oates as saying that th.i Alabama law
is full of loopholes, but that there
have been but . .o cases for violation
of the law in this State, *’r condition
which can not be applied to any oth^r
law on the statutes,’’ he said.
Mr. Roberts also denied that the
work in : o mills is injurious to the
health of the workers, citing a recent
statement to the effect that the lint in
the mills has a tendency to prevent
the spread ->f tuberculosis instead of
contributing to that disease

He favors a physical test as well
as an age limit for the regulation of
child labor and special training in thid
work In the event Alabama adopts
compulsory education.

Birmingham, will be Invited to ad
dress the club in regard to the efforts
that are being made to improve Ala

the law apply to other institutions as
strongly as It applies to cotton mills.
