“PAPE'S DIAPEPSIN” IS THE ONLY REAL STOMACH REGULATOR KNOWN. “Really does” put bad stomachs in order—*really does” ovarcome indiges- tion, dyspepsia, gas, heartburn and sourness in five minutes—that—just that—makes Pape's Diapepsin the largest selling stomach regulator in the world. If what you eat ferments into stubborn lumps, you belch gas and eructate sour, undigested food and acid; head is dizzy and aches; breath foul: tongue coated; your insides filled with bile and indigestible waste,. re- member the moment ‘“Pape’s Diapep- sin” comes in contact with the stom- ach all such distress vanishes. It's truly astonishing — almost marvelous, and the joy is its harmlessness. large fifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin will give you a hundred dol- lars’ worth of satisfaction or your druggist hands you your money back. for.

Officials at the shipyard say they are able to cope with the situation, which they deny cripples them in the least. They eay all branches of the plant are working with as many as formerly. Everyone who went to the yard for his pay was promptly paid and there is plenty of cash on hand to take care of any demands of that nature.

In 1915, only 644 positions were filed_and 1,055 applications for work and 738 applications from em- ployers received.

A silver col- lection was taken up at the pull, and | the receipts of the affair are to be add- ed to the rapidly growing Belgian Re- Hef fund. It is hard to tell just what the next development of the fund will be, everv day new suggestions are in offices at Hartford and New Haven. New Haven already has one woman assistant and is the only state em- ployment bureau to have a woman in the_office. Fifty-one employment agencies are at present doing business in the state and a fee of $25 is charged each of these agencies each year. One li- cense was revoked last year for un- desirable location and a new license was refused for the same reason. The following figures show the sum- maries of ghe work of the employ- ment bureaus during 1916 and 1915: Applications for Work.

With but few exceptions the order was obeyed. A choice few continued to carry on business on Sunday and are said to have kept their stores open throughout the entire day. When the law-abiding merchants learned of the open defiance of their competitors they are understood to have visited the police and ctvic officials and made the threats mentioned. Thus far no action has been taken by the police in bringing about the prosécution of the Sunday' violators. Whether ' the. matter will reach the court probably rests upon the action of the merchants next Sunday. No Monument at Soldiers’ Home Plot.
