Thousands of Men and Women are fa Its Power. HOW to Escape. Poor, scary slaves to your stomachs, there help at hand.

Throw oft the fear of Dyspepsia and Its long train of ills. There a sure way--'Gypsey's Gift" Dyspepsia Tablets. Those little wonder- workers get busy (he moment you swallow right at-your food and digest Jt the stomach a vacation, result? In a few days you find you're eating everything set before you, and enjoying every mouthful, too. Yon take-on a little extra flesh- just a few ounces, perhaps, but It shows your, body is being nourished. Your com- 'plcxlpn brightens up; that dull look fades out of the ey.es., You're hungry at meal time.

You feel altogether There's no mystery about'this. Your food Is being propsrly digested, that's ail: but health.

I These'tablets contain nothing ihjur- not fall In ca.it. There is a. strong disposition on the part of the parties Interested in the movement -to secure an athletic grounds for th-a Ridley Park High School to abandon the project. Not that there has been any lack of interest shown, but because of the high cost of such an prise, and because the borough already has a public park which can be utilized for the purpose by the school boys. Those who do not favor the purchasing of grounds for tho school believe that by the time the ball field was purchased and a fence erected the' cost would be far In excess of the benefit to be derived from the owning of a separate park by the school, and this seems to gaining- ground.

The objection urged against the borough park is the fact that it cannot be fenced, and the boys have found'that-with the small attendance at the games a collection will no 'pay the expenses of the- team. A methooV of surmounting- the difficulty surrounding: the use of the public park has been, suggested by a friend of the school, and it is believed, that the consent Councilmen to the suggestion could be readily secured. The Upland Athletic Association met with the same difficulty in securing- grounds last.season, and the plan of purchasing a canvas feneu aws devised. At intervals of about twelve feet light weight posts ivore raised about the public park. These posts were lltted with a hook at top and bottom, and the canvas fence which was provld-ed is simply stretched on ropes running through these hooks a game.

The fence is taken down after each game, the posts being left in position. SPECIAL SEBVICES BEING HELD.
