RALSTON CITES WEST SIDERS TO EARLY PLEDGES Bays He Was First to Offer Relief From Obnoxious Conditions. OUTLINES WARDS PLAN Asserting' that he was the first candidate for mayor to promise them relief from obnoxious conditio: s. Boyd M. Ralston, Democrat, mace a bid for votes of the citizens of West Indianapolis at a meeting at the residence of Joel Baker, secretary of the Democratic city committee, ioil River aventie. last night. Mr. Ralston said he promised, if elected, to “see to it that the -stink' would be taken out of West Indianapolis,” in a speech at River avenue and Morris street, on th/ Sight of April 20, and that he has had Bo reason to change his mind. Samuel Lewis Shank, Mr. Ralston’s Republican opponent, made a similar promise to the west siders a few days ago. '‘l emphasize my Intentions in your behalf at this time because your conditions are of the most unpleasant kind and your need of quick relief is of the most pressing nature.” said Mr. Ralston. YFOTTLD CARRY CITY GOVERNSIKNT TO PEOPLE. A plan of carrying the government to the people instead of compelling the people to do the coming was proposed by Mr. Ralston. He said that when be Is mayor he intends to take his board of public works and a stenographer into public meetings in the different wards. At these gatherings he will give the citizens of the neighborhoods opportunity to tell what public improvements they need. “I shall be your public servant and so shall be all the boards and employes appointed by me.” he said. “Indianapolis shall have an administration that will look alter the city's affairs, not from a political standpoint, but from a business standpoint, for I am firmly convinced that ‘he who serves the people best serves his party best.’" Revealing that word has come to him that his political enemies have started spreading false reports about him this early In the campaign, Mr. Ralston decried what he said were conflicting reports concerning his religious belief. PROPAGANDA OF RELIGION. “In our city for many years past the 1 Democratic party has been subject to a ; propaganda of a religious nature, not from or by religion but of the nature of religion, the propagandist In many cases having no religion at all,” the candidate ■aid. “I am now being attacked In this way. “In one part of the city I am being advertised as being pro-Catholic; in another part as anti-Cathollc. jhe same organization making both charges. “Os course, you know that I can not be both and I assure you that I am cot either. I am of the Presbyterian faith ind as to other religions, I grant them the same privilege they grant me; that Is. the rights granted ail of us by the Constitution.” Mr. Ralston declared that he would not < ■toop to such tactics, saying -neither ■ will my good friend Shank personally at- ! tack me on these subjects.” “I never stoop to such vile practices, i stand for the constitutional right of all ; religions. I do not question the religious faith of my opponent? 1 believe 1 that we should settle our political prob- j lems to the best of our ability and that God will settle with, the soul as to its j religious wave." APPEARS TO GOOD CITIZENS. Answering statements h attributed to | his opponents to the effect that the ; Democrats in this campaign -are making an appeal to classes or sections Mr. Ralston declared he appeals to “the good citizen of all sections,” and that If the “good citizen,” whom he takes to mean “the men and women who believe In the sacredness of the home, who believe In law and order, who believe In good wholesome government, who respect the rights of others and who will back me up In the execution of the law of our city, are to be considered as a class,” 1 then he wants to make his plea to It. i “I do not believe that a man must be rich to be a good citizen, nor poor to I be a bad one. He who loves his home, be It ever so humble, may be a better citizen than he who lOYes his home because It is a mansion.” “The man who tolls that he may support his loved ones and maintain a home, is a good citizen who Is vitally Interested In good government, economically administered.”
SOCTH Mini ns SOT 'TOOK PEOPLE." When West Indianapolis complains of ' haring been neglected by city officials : •■their complaint cannot Justly lay against our party,” said the speaker. He pointed out improvements which the Democratic of Mayors Taggart. Sullivan, Holtzman and Bell gave tie soi’th side. The opposing can didate now is claiming that the voters of this section will support him in the election, he said, and asked if Mr. Shank while mayor did “one < single solitary thing for the south side.” “He claims the south side support, T think, on the ground that they are the poor and common people of the city. “I deny this particular charge rs to them. More poor people live north of Washington street than do south of it and they have cot caught the fever that his organization claima exists on the south side. If the voters of the south side favor him now, such action would be rewarding the one who failed to keep faith before and a rebuke to the party which kept its promises and made good.” balston-fo r.ma vor CLUBS IS FIRST WARD. At a meeting at the residence of Mrs. Mary Rhodes, 2206 Winter avenue, a Ralston-for-Mayor Clnb of the Third precinct of the First ward was formed last evening. A Ralston club also was organized la the Sixth precinct of the First ward at a meeting at 179i Roosevelt avenue. Appointment of Mrs. John Trench as assistant director and Miss Josephine Reardon as director of organization of women's first voters’ clubs, was announced by Mrs. Grace Jackson Bodenrniiler. Both are to start devoting their full time to the positions at city headquarters at once. Stories which persons unfavorable to the body have circulated were stibled last .evening by the South Side Republican Club when it unanimously adopted a resolution including an unrestricted promise to support Samuel Lewis Shank, Republican nominee for mayor. The club wns formed fbr the purpose of obtaining recognition for the south aide. Soms parties have been attempting to make it appear that It was born to prevent the election of the Republican nominee, basing their stattAnents on the fact that the club a week ago refused to put In the constitution and by-laws a declaration favoring the present Republican city ticket. This, leaders of the club considered, was not the proper way to assure the candidates so the matter was held in'abeyance until last night when, st the weekly meeting at the South Side Turners Hall, 806 Prospect street, a motion setting out the club's “whole hearted and loyal support of the entire Republlcen city ticket from the nominee for mayor on down t . the e : 'men,'' was passed whhont a dissenting vote. Representative Henry Abrams favored the constitutional amendments to be voted upon Sept. 6, In an address explain-. !ng them. He said be wa# against changing the constitution In a convention much preferring the method of referring the matter directly to the voters.

IT is in caring for the needs of its patrons, be they big or little, which stamps the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as a service organization of the first order. Whether the product be a major one, as for instance, gasoline, or one of the highly refined motor oils, or a secondary one, such as Standard Road Oil, facilities have been provided by which the patron, wherever he may live, may get what he wants with as little delay as possible, and at a minimum of expense. For many years Standard Road Oil 1 > been used by communities and individuals in providing a semi-hard surface to highways. Roads so treated are dustless, are not so easily affected by rains, and carry a heavier load with less power than is possible where plain dirt roads, however well cared for, are used. Recently it has been apparent that many want to use this dust preventive on the roads about their homes. Some need but a single barrel, others two or three, hut these small amounts they want badly. As soon as it became apparent that there was a demand for Standard Road Oil in small quantities, the Company assigned to this product a sufficient number of iron barrels to care for the trade. These barrels are not sold but are used merely to transport the oil; to be returned as soon as they can be emptied. By thus cooperating with its patrons, the Company can furnish small quantities of Standard Road Oil at a minimum price, and the user can get it in quantities of one barrel, or a thousand barrels, without having to pay for the container. This is but one of the many ways in which the highly specialized organization of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) serves the public, individually and collectively, to the profit of all.

EATING BIG MEALS DURING HOT WEATHER IS VERY BENEFICIAL SAYS DAVIDSON ST. WOMAN
Lack of appetite is one of the most universal of health complaints, especially during summer. It is much more serious (han most people imagine. In fact many health experts have come to look upon the summer see son as one filled with dangers simply bacause of the big percentage of people who are unable to eat properly during this period. Os course everybody knows that if a person did not eat at all he could not live. It naturally follows that if a person does not eat a sufficient amount —eats less than he should—his system is weakened generally. The blood, the vital organs, the tissues of the body, all depend upon the food you eat for nutrition to keep them strong and well, and, if you do not eat a sufficient amount, healtn is quickly affected in a serious manner. That is why health experts look upon this summertime complaint of lack of appetite as a dis tinctly serious ailment. The case of Mrs. Fred Carter of 427 North Davidson street, Indian apolis, holds out hope for Indianapolis people. Mrs. Carter often went days in warm weather without eating a bite. Her health was affected generally. She took Fepgen. Now, she eats three hearty meals every day and has gained ten pounds weight.
NEW YORK ST. WOMAN SOLVES VITAL QUESTION; TELLS HOW TO SLEEP SOUNDLY IN HOT WEATHER
An Indianapolis woman is responsible for the statement that relief can be gained quickly from sleeplessness, even in hot summed weather. She is Mrs. Ada Kelly of 535 East New York street, Indianapolis. Although she was badly troubled with sleeplessness and noticed this trouble especially during hot weather, she says she now sleeps soundly every night since taking Pepgen. This question of sleeplessness during hot weather, which Mrs. Kelly discusses fully further along in this announcement, is a vital problem. It concerns nearly everybody. Excessive heat so disturbs the nerves and the system in general that few people enjoy really sound healthy sleep during the summer season. Yet, sound sleep is necessary in order to keep the body rested, refreshed and vigorous and able to withstand the waves of heat that continue all summer long. Because, if the system is not refreshed and rested by sound sleep each night, the body may weaken and succumb before the rigors ot summer weather. We often read of cases of thi® character in the daily newspapers. Even if notnlng as serious as a weakening attack occurs, still, the health is always harmed to a big etxent when night after night, goes by without sound sleep. Men and women feel bad all over, have se-
WOMAN TELLS OF THRILL ON RURAL ROUTE 0 Explains Happening At Her Home Which Proved of Big Assistance.
"Pepgen is the first medicine that ever gave me real relief from my stomach trouble,” says Mrs. S. W. Smith of Rural Route G, Indianapolis. “I suffered with my stomach for years. During this period I kept taking medicine after medicine. There wasn’t one of them that did me any good. My most severe trouble was pains in my stomach. Often at night, after I had gone to bed. the pains '" became so severe that they would awaken me. Then it wauld be several hours before I could get back to sleep. “Since taking Pepgen, my stomach trouble has disappeared and I am feeling fine. Os course, after what this medicine did for me I am glad to recommend it to others.” Pepgen stops stomach misery. It produces a keen appetite. It tones tip the stomach and digestive organs. In hundreds of thousands of cases in all parts of the country Pepgen has proven unusually effective iu cases of stomach trouble.

“My trouble dates back to several years ago,” says Mrs. Carter. “At that time I underwent an operation and my system has been run down ever since. I lacked appetite almost entirely, especially in warm weather. Some days I became so weak from lack of nutrition that I couldn’t finish my work. I’d have to go lie down. Sometimes I was sick at my stomach. My nerves became affected. The least noise frightened me. At night it often seemed impossible for me to sleep. I’d roll and toss about the bed for hours, and when I got up in mornings I was all tired out. Pepgen has increased my health 100 per cent. I have a splendid appetite. I eat three hearty meals everjday, and as a result of this good nutrition I have gained ten pounds. The former tired ou£ feeling has completely disappeared. I do my housework easily and never have to stop a single time to rest, I sleep soundly every night from the time I go to bed until morning. Then I get up feeling thoroughly rested. “Just yesterday my husband remarked about my improvement. He says he can see that Pepgen has done me a wonderful lot of good.” People who take Pepgen for such trouble as this are usually enthusiastic about the preparation within a short time. Asa matter of fact there probably is not a preparation upon the market today that can equal Pepgen for the relief of derangements of the stomach. Within a few days—many people

Iu recommending Pepgen to the people of Indianapolis who are troubled with sleeplessness, Mrs. Kelly tells her own experience. “For months 1 didn’t enjoy a single good night's rest,” says Mrs. Kelly. “If I was lucky enough to get to sleep, I didn’t sleep soundly. Any iittle noise woke me up. Sometimes just the ticking of the clock awakened me. Asa result of thi3 lack of est I fqlt tired and achy all over. It seemed that I lacked energy entirely. I just dragged around while doing my housework. My appetite was poor, too. Sometimes just the odor of cooking food made me feel sick. “I’m surely thankful to Pepgen because of what it did for me. I fee! .ike myself again now. I sleep soundly every night and never wake up from the time I go to bed until morning. Then I get up feeling thoroughly rested. The tired, achy feeling I had before is gone and niv housework is easy. Pepgen also increased my appetite. I eat three hearty meals every day now and enjoy my food.” No other medicine has been successful as Pepgen. The sa'e r has been unprecedented. The reason is obvious —clear.
