HOUSE FIGHTS TO KEEP ‘TAPE’ IN SWEET BILL Measure to Establish Veterans Bureau Meets Another Handicap in Confab. WASHINGTON, July 27—The Sweet bIU to establish a veteran*’ bureau and end the scandal of Government neglect of disabled soldiers.. i6 on the roots again. The conferees appointed by the House have assumed a "hard-boiled” attitude toward all the Senate amendments and are fighting every Important change propoaed by x the upper House to eliminate red tape and liberalize the treatment of crippled veterans. A meeflng, lasting until the early hours today, failed to bring the conferees into agreement. Another effort will l)e made to get together, but indications are that the Senate conferees must either surrender their amendments or risk still further delay In placing the bill on the statute books. DAWES’ PLAN IS CONTESTED. The Smoot amendment making the proposed veterans' bureau an Independent Institution responsible directly to the President met with strong opposition from the House, although it was especially urged by the Pawes commission and by various soldiers’ organzlations on the ground that it Is necessary to eliminate red tape. Another Important amendment which appears to invite the emphatic opposition of the House is the one sponsored by Senator Walsh, Massachusetts, designed to afford more prompt and fair treatment to veterans suffering from tuberculosis and mental disorders. Both of these amendments, as well as numerous others of less importance, were adopted by the Finance Committee, after weeks of consideration, and were unanimously approved by the Senate. The House conferees, however, hold ali these changes to be unnecessary and asserting their pride of authorship, are demanding adoption of the hill without the dotting of an "i” or the crossing of a “t.”

BLIND SOLDIERS ABE AFFECTED. As an 'example of tnelr unyielding attitude, they forced the Senate to bow to the striking out of an amendment increasing the allowance for attendance for totally blinded soldiers from $-0 to fSO n month, although the amendment was placed in the bill by the Senate Finance Committee at the urgent request of a member of the House. Representative Hamilton Fish, New York. The session of the Conference Committee developed heated exchanges between Senator Walsh and Pr. Haven Emerson. assistant director of the War R>";k Insurance Bureau In charge of the medical division. Dr. Emerson supported the House conferees In their opposition to the Walsh amendment, which he declared would “make liars of physicians.” The Walsh amendment seeks to transfer from the disabled veterans to the Government the burden of proof In establishing the origin of disability. It would have the Government grant compensation to disabled veterans suffering from tuberculosis and mental disease on the presumption that their disability was contracted in line of du’y. Dr. Emerson, on the stand yesterday, before the Senate Committee, admitted having furnished President Harding with the information that there was a surplus of <5,000 beds available for dlsibled veterans. The committee manifested considerable Impatience with this statement In view of the disclosures previously made. # Dr. Emerson finally agreed with Dr. C H. Lavender of the public health service. also before the committee, that there were not enough beds available for certain classes of patients at particular times and In particular places. “ You might have 10.000 beds listed at available but If they were not suitable for the cases which needed attention they would be of no value,” Dr. Lavender said. Surgeon General Cnmmlng criticized "the lamentable Lack of business efficiency” at the Speedway hospital in Chicago. He estimated the cost per bed at the hospital would be $3,500 to $4,000. He also complained of the failure to provide outside quarters for nurses and attendants. Distressing conditions among disabled soldiers, due to Inability to obtain proper treatment from the Government, were blamed directly on Congress however, by Surgeon General Cummings. He said the delay of Congress in appropriating sufficient funds for the construction of necessary hospitals was primarily responsible. He also said that many altes for new hospitals, provided by Congresa In the general appropriation bill last March were " unsuitable” and this had Impeded the efforts to relieve. Slowness of supervising architects in approving plans for new hospitals likewise had been an obstacle, he asserted. POLITICAL ANGLES ARE DENOrNCED. “No defense can be mad# of Senators and Representatives who put In a bIU tor political purposes provisions requiring Site* totally unfit for the purpose,” Senator Walsh. Democrat, Massachusetts, said, commenting on the Surgeon General’s testimony. Criticism of the War Department’s poUcy of disposing of its war hospitals while the public health service was scouring the country for suitable hospitals which might have been uttllxed. was voiced by Surgeon General Cummlng. He added that he bad prevented the ‘‘scrapping’’ of the hospital at Camp Kearney, Cal., which now is being used fbr tubercular and nervous patients. One site provided for a hospttal, the surgeon general testified, was found to be on the edge of a swamp from which “clouds of mosquitoes” arose. This site, he said, was near Norfolk. Ya., and a year’s delay ensued while he negotiated with the Chamber of Comerce for a more favorable location. HEARING ON BOND ISSFE. HARTFORD CITY. Ind., July 27 A bearing will be held Thursday by a member of the State board of tax commiailoners at Montpelier on the bond Issue accessary for the construction of a conlolidated high and grade school In that ;ity.

BOARD ACTS TO CONTINUE SCHOOL WORK (Continued From Page One.) plication of the State board of accounts Itself. ‘•Walter J. Twlname, field examiner, says that the superintendence of Installation of most mechanical work must be done by the su peri n ten dent of buidlngs and grounds,” Mr. Matson’s opinion said. ‘‘For ten years this was not the Interpretation of the school boards, counsel of the State board of accounts. This opinion of Mr. Twlname, unsupported by the attorney general or other legal opinion, can hardly raise the presumption against the actual legality of contracts of the character proposed, and the legal right of the board of school commissioners to continue to engage such services should be presumed until a court of proper jurisdiction declares otherwise. It seems to me that the whole matter has reached a stage where no one will longer be content with opinions from other attorney or public officials. The question can only be set at rest by Judicial decision. For these reasons I do not feel justified in submitting any definite legal opinion on the subject.” After the opinion had been read. Mr Gadd said, “It is a case of damned If we do and damned If we don't.” LOW ESTIMATES RECEIVED. The lowest estimates for school constructions submitted to the board in several years were made by Vounegut, Bobn & Mueller architects of the proposed new building at School No. 70, Forty-Sixth street and Central avenue. Two estimates and preliminary plans were submitted, one for an eight classroom building with no auditorium or library. This estimate was from $105,200 to $114,500; the building to contain 2(58,000 cubic feet. The other estimate, which was based on tearing away the present building instead of rebuilding it, was for a sixteen classroom building, with library and auditorium, to cost from $261,000 to 5251.500. This blulding would contain 750.000 cubic feet. These figures would make the proposed buildings cost about 38 cents a cubic foot, exclusive of fees, which would bring the total to about 40 cents. At the recent hearings before the State board of tax commissioners It was shown that school building costs In Indianapolis have been running from 46 cents upward a cubic foot. In one Instance the cost reaching 56 cents a cubic foot. BICK REQUESTS CASH ADVANCE. It seems that at last Shortridge high school is to obtain permission to erect a locker and shower bath house on the North Side high school site at ThirtyFourth and Pennsylvania streets, and to use the grounds for athletic practice. This long has been a Shortrldge <fram. as under present conditions Sbortridge baseball and football must go to Fairview park for practice with no locker facilities. Last night the hoard received a letter from George Buck, principal of Shortridge, asking for a loan of sono fr'mi the school board to be used with st.s*) now In the school athletic fund for the erection of the building in question, the sCt** to be repaid out of the football receipts this fall. Ralph W. Dougins, business advisor, made a strong plea that the request be granted and the matter was referred to the finance committee with power to act. There was a marked unanimity of opinion among the members of the board that the request should be granted. After considerable discussion authority to employ eleven custodians, two firemen, one engineer, one electrlral maintenance man and one extra hleht watchman for Arsenal Technical High School was granted C. W. Eurton. superintendent of buildings and grounds. While this matter was under conslder3tlop it developed that it will take $50,000 to pay salaries of this character at Technical next year.

New portable two-room buildings to relieve congestion were ordered placed at the following schools: One each at schools Nos. 17, 35, 52. 66. 67. 70 and 75; and two st No. 74.

The motion expressly stated that In these Instances the portables are to he kept at’these schools only until the present shortage can be taken care of by permanent buildings. A communication regarding crowded conditions existing at school No. 69, Keystone avenue and Thirty Fourth street, was received from a number of resident* of that neighborhood and the matter of placing a portable there was referred to Mr. Gadd nnd Mr. Eurton. So crowded Is this school that It has been found necessary to send tho older children to other schools. Mr. Douglas announced that school No. 22 and tha first unit of Arsenal Technical High School are on the point of completion and that the contractors are about ready to turn the buildings over to the board.

TWO W. MICHIGAN ST. RESIDENTS REPORT THRILLING EXPERIENCES

(MENS SAY HELP CAME IN A SHORT TIE

The extent to which the fame of Pepgen has spread over Indianapolis can be readily seen when It Is stated that hundreds of local residents, living in all sections of the city, have given statements recommending this medicine. Two residents of West Michigan street have added their names to the long list of Indianapolis people who praise Pepgen. Mrs. Ethel Bandy of 3542 West Michigan street, and Mrs. Carrie McClellan of 3538 West Michigan street, both praise Pepgen for the good it has done them. “I NEVER FELT MORE ENERGETIC THAN NOW.” ‘‘l feel like an altogether different woman since taking Pepgen,” says Mrs. Ethel Bandy of 3542 West Michigan street. “I never in my life had more strength and energy than I have now. “For months before I took Pepgen my system was in a badly run down condition. I was very nervous. I felt tired and worn out nearly all the time. I think my lack of strength may have been due to the fact that I didn’t eat enough. My appetite was very poor and my food didn't taste right. Asa consequence I ate very little. I started falling off In weight. My complexion got pale and sallow. After a time my nerves became affected and then I couldn’t sleep right. 1 got up morning feeling tired out. ‘‘l kept reading in the Indianapolis papers about Pepgen. It seemed to be helping so many people here that I decidnt to try It. “Ve3, I look and feel like a different woman since taking Pepgen. I have a splendid appetite and I never enjoyed my food as much as now. Asa result of this good nutrition I have gained 20 pounds. I sleep soundly every night. When I wake up mornings I feel thoroughly rested. All the tired, wqrn out feeling I had before is gone. Instead of that I feel full of life and energy." It is surprising how many people feel tired, weak and nervous as Mrs. Bandy did. But even more surprising is the fact that most of these people are making no effort to improve themselves. They drag around day after day, just half-liv-ing. These people should take Pepgen to liven up the vital organs, produce a keen appetite and rest and refresh the body each night with sound, healthy sleep. Then they will feel like themselves again —will be strong, vigorous, energetic and live REAL lives. —Advertisement.

SECOND MICHIGAN STREET WOMAN GIVES DETAILS. “For years I have suffered with my stomach and the trouble finally became chronic,” says Mrs. Carrie McClellan of 3538 West Michigan street. “Nearly everything I ate disagreed with me. The truth is that for years I did not really enjoy a single meal I ate. After every meal gas formed on my stomach. I bloated badly and felt very uncomfortable. I became restless and nervous and couldn't sleep right. “So many Indianapolis people recommended Pepgen in the newspapers that I decided to try this medicine. I have Improved gradually since T started taking Pepgen. I am now In much better health generally. The gas on my stomach Is not nearly as bad. The bloating has been relieved. I have a fine appetite and can eat a big meal without suffering afterward. The restlessness and nervousness also has disappeared. I sleep a great deal better.” Pepgen ends stomach misery. It relieves gas, bloating and pain and brings a keen appetite, good digestion and proper assimilation. Pep gen has given relief to hundreds o>' thousands of men and women in al? parts of the country.

I sleep soundly since taking Pepgen," says Mrs. Bessie Clegg of 347 South State street, Indianapolis. "1 was In a general run down, nervous condition before I took Pepgen. I don't think I bad enjoyed a good night’s rest for two years. I felt weak and tired nearly all the time and could hardly do my housework. My stomach also troubled me. Gas formed on my stomach after I bad eaten Just a few bites. I bloated badly and felt miserable. In addition, I suffered from severe pains in my back caused by my kidneys. “I am so pleased with Pepgen that I’m glad to recommend It publicly. Pepgen has made anew woman of me. The nervousness Is gone. I sleep soundly all night long. The railway tracks are near our house, but I never hear the trains -attle by. I sleep too soundly. The tired feeling Is gone.

PENN. STREET WOMAN FINOS REAL FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH; CLIPS IS YEARS FROM AOE

"I feel 15 years younger since I have taken Pepgen,” says Mrs. Emma Acra of 514 South Pennsylvania street, Indianapolis. ‘‘My health was poor generally because of a severe case of stomach trouble which I had suffered with for years. After each meal I had gas on my stomach. I bloated so badly at times that I could hardly get my breath. I couldn’t stand the pressure of tight clothing about my waist. After a time this trouble with my stomach had an effect on me generally. I got so I suffered from severe headaches nearly every day. I couldn’t find anything that would relieve them. My nerves got out of order. I couldn't sleep right. I got up mornings feeling tired and weak. The housework was very hard on me.

EAST ST. MAN MAKES CAIN OF 100 PER CENT “Since my husband started taking Pepgen he gays his health has Improved 100 per cent," says Mrs Addle Johnson of 128 North East street, Indianapolis. “Over a period of two years my husband kept complaining of stomach trouble He said gas formed on h!s stomach immediately after each meal. He complained of a sour tasting liquid rising In his throat. Very few foods agreed with him and he had to be mighty careful about what he ate. He also suffered from pains in his stomach. They kept him awake at night. He said it was almost Impossible for him to sleep soundly. “Since my husband has taken Pepgen he is so enthusiastic about it that he says he wouldn't be without it in the house. It surely gave him great relief. He doesn't complain of gas on his stomach or any other stomach trouble now. He says the pains have disappeared. He sleeps soundly every night now and gets good rest. "I can highly recommend Pepgen after what It did for my husband." Pepgen is enjoying a greater sale today than any other similar medicine. Why? Simply because Pepgen really relieves those who take it. Day after day Indianapolis people—your own friends and neighbors—recommend this medicine in the daily papers. If you suffer from stomach, lirer, kidney or nerve trouble, try Pepgen. Pepgen is sold by all first-class druggists everywhere.

I couldn't cook anything that looked really good to me. Asa result I didn't eat enough and kept going down in strength. Finally I became restless and nervous. I couldn’t sleep right. All night I kept waking up and my sleep was so broken that it did me very little good. "One of my neighbors Is responsible
