Sour, sick, uppet stomach, indigestion, heartburn, dyspepsia; when the food you eat ferments into gases and stubborn lumps; your head aches and you feel sick and miserable, that's when you realize the magic in Pape's Diapepsin.

It makes stomach distress go in five minutes. If your stomach is in a revolt if you can't get it regulated, please, for your sake, try Pape's PROBE AT PRISON. St. Joseph Detective Works for Hodges Report in Six Weeks. Leavenworth, Nov.

5. That Irregularities have existed for some time in the state prison here is the text of charges which have been filed with Governor Hodges, and which J. T. Glynn, a St. Joseph detective, has been engaged by the Kansas executive to probe the accusations.

Glynn has been here two weeks, and says he will not be ready to make his report for about six more weeks. The charges deal only with the administration of the penitentiary as conducted under Warden Codding, recently supplanted. Glynn has refused to give out any Information regarding the extent of his work, so far. It is understood here that the prime feature of the detective's work will be an investigation of the output of the state coal mine from June. 1312, to July, 1913.

It is said here that the records show that 0,000 tons of coal were mined during that period and that half that amount was used in Keeping me institution poms. Governor Hodges, it is alleged, thinks that amount of coal too much to be used for prison work, and wants to know how it was used. It has also been charged that certain officers were using more than their allotted 150 bushels of coal, and were paying for the excess, and that this money was not turned into the treasury. The affairs of the twine plant, it is said, will also be subjected to an investigation. At present Glynn is spending most or his time outside the prison, interviewing guards and officials who held office under the former administration.

This, it is believed, will but form the foundation for a more stringent investigation to be begun soon inside the prison. Warden Codding, when asked for his opinion regarding the investigation, replied that he was content to W.tMj" tectlve dig, and that he was ready to submit to any probe. PREHISTORIC EVIDENCE.

At the bottom of the sewer ditch the workmen found a bed of almost white sand and gravel. Among the bones are two--, large shells, one as large and somewhat the shape of a skull. That it is not a skull is proven by the shape and by peculiar corrugations on the outer sunace. Kotn iragments are peirmew but have been pronounced as unques tionably bone originally. Another find, at 17 feet below the surface, was a well preserved tooth, several inches long and about three inches in circumference, with sharp pointed grinding surface, indicating that it may have been from some huge carnivor us beast of prehistoric times.

Jenkins Hill, which adjoins the field on the west, on which is to be located the administration building of the state hospital, was once a favorite camping place for the Indian tribes of western Kansas, and for many years the hill and surrounding fields have been a favorite hunting spot for peo ple in search of flint Irwlian arrow MOTHER!

W. E. Brooks of the state board of control recently found a fine flint head while at the hospital on an inspection tour. While digging about 1.000 feet of sewer ditch the workmen found nearly a quart of arrow heads and pieces of flint from which they had been chipped. There is no flint anywhere within miles of the hill, and it is said the Indians brought the material for their arrow heads from the mountains.

F. Babb, city milk inspector is investigating the cause of deaths among infants in Topeka. All births and deaths are recorded in the office of the city clerk. Dr. Babb is digging into these records and whenever he comes across the record of the death of an infant and the cause of death is given as anything which even remotely might be traced to impure milk he puts the information down in a special list.

Yesterday he went over the records from the first of the year to the present time and today he is out in his automobile making a personal investigation of every case that might Indicate impure milk. The infant mortality rate last year was about 10 per cent for children under two years of age. On an average one child out of every ten born did not live. Bad as these figures seem to the person who has not studied such things, yet this ten per cent rate is low compared to most cities, according to Franz Schneider, one of the experts conducting the social survey. This year (from January 1 to November 1) 794 births have been reported to the city clerk and during this time 144 deaths of infants under two years of age hav occurred.

The relative number of deaths to births, however, will probably be reduced by the end of the year as deaths among infants are always greater during summer months, and not all the births for October have been reported yet. Of the 144 deaths of children this year, 125 were less than one year old, and 19 over one year old. Alimentary troubles were the cause of 26 deaths of children under one year and of six over one year old. Pneumonia came next with a death toll of 12 under one year old and of five over one year old. The death record of the babies and the cause of their deaths as shown by the records Is: Under Over one one Cause year.

Most of them are reported from hospitals. The condition indicated by the record is not a nice thing to discuss, but after taking a liberal view of the figures and making allowances for circumstances over which parents had no control, it seems reasonable to believe that morality and a discontinuance, of criminal practices would do more to reduce the infant mortality rate in the city of Topeka than all other health rules combined.

Dr. Babb. whose interest in the infant mortality records is due to there being a possible connection between the death rate and the city's milk supply, has made a rough division of the causes of death into two classes those preventable and those not preventable and today is investigating those on his preventable list. He figures there are 76 in the preventable class, drawing the division line between pneumonia and heart disorder in the foregoing list. In his investigation last year he made the same division.

Of the cases he investigated last year, all deaths were of infants fed either by the mother, or on prepared foods, with the exception of two. In the case of the two exceptions cow's milk was resorted to after other foods had been experimented with and had failed. IS A BEAUTIFUL WATCH Passes Inspection of Santa Fe Time Service. First Watch to Be Made Specially for Topeka Firm. The "Santa Fe Special," a standard railroad watch, designed by the Santa Fe Watch Company and manufactured by the Illinois Watch Company is being introduced to the public today.

For years, Mr. Thomas of the Santa Fe Watch Co. has entertained the hope that he could interest the Illi nois Watch Company in making a watch that would combine the accurate time keeping qualities of the finest railroad watches with the beauty and elegance of a thin model gentleman's watch and at the same time allow it to be sold at a price within the reach of every one. Sev eral months time was required in making the final arrangements with the factory for the manufacture of the "Santa Fe Special" and only by con tracting for enormous orders of these high-grade watches was the deal nally closed. Eight months') time is required to finish each watch so accurate is the standard set.

Years of experience in handling. regulating and selling all the various makes of watches of the country have qualified Mr. Thomas for the responsible task he set for himself. He was closely identified with the in' stallation of the first time service of the Santa Fe system and with the introduction of the old "Santa Fe Route" watch which for twenty years was the highest standard of railroad watch. The fact that about a thousand of those old reliable watches entered the service of the Santa Fe and other great roads and that many of them are still passing, the inspection of the rigid time service requirements, speaks highly of the dependability of the "Santa Fe Route." Mr.

Thomas stands squarely behind his new watch with the assurance that the Santa Fe Special is a far superior watch and has every feature of modern improvements and lines of beauty seldom equaled. In introducing the new watch Mr. Thomas also springs a distinct sen sation in the way of watch cases, the inamei monogram. This work is without question, the cleverest feature designed, to accentuate individuality. -At present Mr.

Thomas is compiling an elegant catalog, arrang ing for an extensive campaign which will be conducted direct from Topeka thus placing another rapidly growing tiansas institution the national class. WELCOME TO T. R. The Colonel's Portrait Is Displayed AH Over Buenos Ayres. Buenos Ayres.
