'Pape's Diapepsin" is the
quickest and surest Stom
&ch relief ?
If what you Just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like a lump of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigester food.
or have a feeling of dizziness, heart-
brun, fullness, nausea, bad taste in
mouth and stomach headache, you can
surely get relief In five minutes.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula, plainly printed on these
flfty-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you' will understand why dys
peptic troubles of all kinds must go,
and why it relieves, sour, out-of-order
stomachs or indigestion in five min
utes. "Pape's Diapepsin" Is harmless:
tastes like candy, though each dose
will digest and prepare for assimila
tion into the blood all food you
eat; besides, it makes you go to the
table with a healthy appetite; but
what will please you most, li that you
will feel that your stomach and Intes
tines are clean and fresh, and you will
not need to resort to laxatives or liver
pills for biliousness or constipation.
This city will have many "Pape's
Diapepsin" cranks, as some people will
call them, but you will be enthusiastic
about this splendid stomach prepara
tion, too, if you ever take it for indi
gestion, gases, heartburn, bo urn ess,
dyspepsia, or any stomach misery.

SMALL BOY WRITES OF
VISIT TO CHARLESTON
The following article Is submitted
to The Times by Francis Hayes, of
nrondway, who explain that he is
11 years of age and goes to the,
Orange street school:
A Trip to Charleston
I am a little Broadway boy of
Asheville, N. C. One summer we took
a trip to Charleston. We went to
the beach, and had a fine time In the
ocean; I tried to drink some of the
water but found It so salty that I
could not bear it In my mouth. We
went to the Charleston navy yard.
There was an old ship there that
looked like it was new, but it was only
painted. We asked some sailors to
show us over the boat; they took us
to the place where Dewey stood whin
he fought In the war. Thay had
tacks driven in In the shape of a shoe,
jand they nay that that is the place
i where Dewey put' his foot. We saw
them making a ship, and went to a
jfew of the forts. We also went to
:the Isle of Talms; then we came home
'on the train.
IM AT GUILD'S
EIF
Although thousands ot tons of roots
and herbs are annually marketed in
western North Carolina, this Industry
has been for the most part neglected
by those who write from time to time
on the resources of this section. Ashe
ville is one of the distributing centers
for this immense business In the
southern Appalachians; in fact, it Is
doubtful if the oldest Inhabitant can
remember the time when advertise
ments did not appear in , the local pa
pers giving notice to the people of
this region that they could always find
it profitable to put a few sacks of
roots, bark and herbs of various kinds
in the wagon when they started to the
mountain metropolis.
For the past 14 years J. Q. McCluire
& Co. have been buying and shipping
these products to all parts of the
United States and to foreign countries.
Mr. McUulre has been in the business
for 83 years and knows "yarbs" as
well as an M. D. does the finished pro.
duct. For the wares handled by the
Asheville dealers are used largely for
medicines by the manufacturers of
standard and some patent remedies.
Mr. McGuire states that more than
250 varieties of bark, roots, herbs,
flowers and seeds are found In this re
gion, which Is the garden spot of the
world In this respect.
In the shady valleys and coves of
the Blue Ridge grows the ginseng,
choice specimens of which plant rfell
at from $ii to $7 per pound. The-
seeds also are valuable and while it is
not generally known, ginseng farming
has become a lucrative branch of hor
ticulture with numbers of people. One
such farm is located in West Asheville,
owned by J. W. McElroy; Dr. Chase P.
Ambler owns another at "Rattlesnake
Lodge." John O. Harrison of Franklin,
the well known representative of Car-
hart & company, who was a candidate
before tho last democratic primary
for nomination to congress, has Ions
been known as a ginseng farmer.
In China, ginseng Is highly esteem
ed. It is an object of reverence among
the Celestials and has a place in re
ligious worship. It is also used as a
beverage, it is said, corresponding to
tea and ruffee' among the occidentals.
So great Is the demand for ginseng
that in some localities men, women
and children may be seen digging for
the precious roots. It has become scarce
In its wild state and unless more at
tention is paid to its cultivation the
prices bid fair to Increase enormously.
Rattlesnake weed, opodildoc, mul
len, calamus, May apple, wild cherry
bark and many other medicinal plants
find a ready market and it is a usual
sight at small railway stations in this
end of the state to see wagons loading
freight cars with these articles. Most
of the country stores act as collecting
agencies, buying in small quantities
and forwarding them to the nearest
wholesaler. Prices vary from three
cents to several dollars per pound.
Before the medical profession bo
came numerous in the mountains,
"yarb" doctors plied their trade, not
always without success. The Indians,
perhaps, taught their white conquer
or many lessons of healing wtth.planU
that were abandant then in forests as
yet untouched by the lumberman. In
the old-time heme tho housewife was
regarded as ignorant Indeed who could
not concoct medicines for most of the
Ills that beset her family without send
ing 26 miles for a doctor. "Boncset"
tea was one of the stand bys of grand
mother, and many men over SO years
old can remember having to doso
themselves on this liquid qulnino.
which was a standard remedy for
colds. And people can be found today
who stIN brew this beverage, drink It
after it cools, toasting themselves
meanwhile by a wood fire, with quiet
scorn for those who put their trust in
coal tar preparations.
