Dyspepsia, Gas, Heartburn o!
Indigestion Will Go In
Five Minutes.
As there is often some one in yom
family who suffers an attack of indi
gestion or some form of Stomach
trouble, why don’t you keep sonje Dia
pepsin in the house handyl
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort, and overcome a
sour, gussy Stomach five minutes after.
• Tell your pharmacist to let you read
the formula plainly printed on these
50-oent cases of Pape’s Diapepsin,
then you will readily see why it makes
Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heart
burn and other distress go in five min
utes and relieves at once such miseries
as Relching of Gas, Eructations of sour
undigested food. Nausea, Headaches,
Dizziness, Constipation and other Stom
ach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to find
relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia
or an out-of-order stomach with the
common every-day cures advertised
that thev have about made up their
minds that they have something else
wrong, or believe theirs is a ease of
Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the
Stomach or Cancer.
This, no doubt, is a serious mistake.
Your real trduble is, what yon eat does
not digest; instead, it ferments and
sours, turns to acid, Gas and Stomach
poison, which putrefy in the digestive
tract and intestines, and, besides, poi
•oh the breath with nauseous odors.
A hearty appetite,- with thorough di:
gestion. and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery of the Stomach, is
waiting for you as soon as yon decide
Ie try Pape’s Diapepsin.
NO HOOKWORM LIVES HERE
SAYS BACTERIOLOGIST
Dr,'' Kemp Makes Report to
Health Board—Milk Report
Shows Pure Article Sold.
No hookworms exist in San Antonio,
as far as the local board of health can
determine. Upon recommendation of
the health authorities. Dr. John O.
Kemp, city bacteriologist, examined
two suspicious cases recently. A report
submitted by the bacteriologist at the
meeting of the health board yesterday
,X";m to the effect that w
4J ol liT 'tdtS~To "
last month when it was oa
nounced from the north that San Anto
nio was in the district infected by the
hookworm, the local authorities at once
denied Such a charge, as uo symptom
bad ever been discovered. Upon in
vestigation it was found there were no
eases here.
The bacteriologist submitted a state
ment of milk analysis made from June ।
1 1909, to Jan. 1, 1910. . During this (
.period 400 samples were examined an 1 j
but 21 found not up, to requirements. I
Perfect samples numbered 379. No
sample was found to be adulterated
with boric acid and but one sample was
found to contain formaldehyde. The
lowest bacteria count out of the 400
samples was 32,000, and the highest.
490,000. Four samples showed the pres-
ence of streptococci. Two convictions
were had in the corporation for sell
ing bad milk. During January 53 sam
ples of milk were analyzed and 51
found good.
Some time was consumed at the
meeting in discussing the provisions of
the new state sanitary code. It was
found that the new regulations have
been followed by this city for the last
fifteen years and are embraced in the
local city ordinance.
Upon the receipt of a communication
from I. Hansen, city veterinarian, that
one case of glanders had been found
and several cases were now under close
surveillance, a resolution was passed
that the mayor and council be request
ed to have an ordinance passed regu
lating the reporting of such diseases
among animals. The council will be
asked to enact the ordinance at the
earliest practicable moment, because of
the fact that glanders is a highly emu
muni-cable disease and dangerous to
even human life, always proving fatal.
Reports of the various inspectors and
officers acting under direction of the
health department, were read and filed.

FRIDAY,
PRINCESS DE SAGAN
IS DEEP 111 DEBT
The Princess de Sagan, formerly Miss
Anna Gould, the publication of whose
debts recently has caused uo end of a
stir in the fashionable world here and
abroad. Why she owed the proud and
exclusive Duehess de Noailles $350,900
as part of this indebtedness puzzled
more than all the rest, as thb duchess is
rich and has no need of being a money
lender. It developed that when she was
Countess de Castellane the princess pur
chased the Chateau Marias, belonging to
the duehess. and the balance is due on
this purchase. Once the chateau was
contracted for, the duchess took up the
then Countess de Castellane. and her en
tree to fashionable French society was
assured.

Victor Moore, who scored a tremen-
I dons success in George M. Coban's musi
cal play. ‘‘The Talk,of New York,”
is announced to appear in this brilliant
musical comedy at the Grand Bunday,
Monday and Tuesday nights and Tues
day matinee.
• Mr. Moore, as Kid Burns, the race
track gambler, is said to have a line of
talk which is startling. The role is a
continuation of the one in ‘‘4s Minutes
From Broadway.’’ and brings the Kid
forward as a highly successful race
track gambler. The story, briefly told,
>• this: The Kid has ‘‘parleyed” a five
dollar bill, and, by pyramiding his bets,
aas run it into a fortune. He falls
in love with the daughter of a million
aire, and encounters all sorts of diffi
culties before winning her.
There 'is said to be a fascinating
■ ‘villainness ” who snakes her way in
and out of the plot. dressed most fetch
ingly and who, exercising her feminine
prerogative, suddenly changes her mind
aud becomes distressingly good. Mr.
Cohan i? said to have given ‘‘The Talk
of ->ew York” many of bis best songs,
among them being: ‘‘Follow A’our Un
cle Dudley,” ‘‘Put a Little Bet Down
For Me,” ‘‘Mr. Burns of New Roch
elle,” ‘‘When We Are MA Double
R-l-E-D,” ‘‘Burning Up the Boule
vard,” ‘‘Busy Little Broadway,”
•‘When a Fellow’s on the Level with a
Girl That's on the Square," ‘‘That’s

‘‘THE RED MILL."
‘‘The Red Mill.” fresh from its
triumphs at the Knickerbocker theater.
New York City, where it held forth
for an entire year, with engagements
of six months each in Chicago and Bos
ton, will be presented here at the
Grand, matinee aud night, on next
Wednesday.
The musical comedy, Ae joint work
of Henry Blossom and Victor Herbert,
and presented by Martin A Emery’s ad
mirable company, proved the fourth
consecutive success in which these
clever comic opera builders have colla
borated. The field of action of ‘‘The
Red Mill” is laid in Holland. The first
scene, an exterior, shows the red mill of
the story nt the edge of the little vil
lage/ in Holland. The second scene, an
interior, gives us a look at the home of
a well-to-do Burgomaster. All of the
people of the story are Hollanders, with
the exception of two heroes, who are
New York, and are stranded in the low
lands. Their adventures make up the
main comic complications of the piece,
including the sensational escape from
, the windmill on the revolving blades.

TO THE PUBLIC
We desire to say that when we took!
the agency for ZEMO, it was after a
thorough investigation as to the merit'
and curative properties of this remedy
for eczema, pimples and dandruff. We
frankly admit ZEMO has far exceeded
our expectations as a ebre for skin dis
eases. We are pleased to state that, we
will continue the agency, as ZEMO
gives the best satisfaction of any sim
ilar remedy we have ever sold. Our
customers like ZEMO because it is a|
clean, vegetable liquid for external use.
ZEMO cures by drawing to the surface|
of the skin and destroying the germ
life that causes the disease, leaving the ’
skin clean and healthy. It does not
soil the clothin'g or linens and can be
used freely on infants.
We will give a booklet on skin dis- i
eases and explain to any person how |
they can be cured at home of any forml
of skin or scalp disease by this clean, |
scientific preparation. The Bexar Drug I

When inquiry was made relative to
plans for the building, Mr. Savage said
the original idea would probably bo
carried out, which was that while tho
I foundations and outlines w»uld be such
that a ten-story building could be erect
ed, present, developments would probab
t ly confine the present strut, uro to two
[ stories.
J “Additional stories may be put on
when we reach that point, but the prob
abilities are that we may only go two
stories at this time. Steel ordered for
the building will arrive within ten days.
There will lie five stores on the ground
floor for mercantile purposes, ami while
the purpose of the second story has not
been decided upon, the probabilities arc
that the floor will be nsed for office
purposes.' ’
