DOUBLE FORMER SUBSCRIPTIONS, U. S. IS URGED

VRemcmber the Tampa Rallying Cry of Coast Guard for Campaign. . k t (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Oct 10. In answer to the Insistent question, "How la the Fourth Liberty Loan really going?" a comparison today of records during this campaign with those of the third loan showed these facts: The fourth campaign of three weeks Is half gone, and 11.791.463.200 In subscriptions, or 30 per cent of the six billions sought, have been reported. When the third . campaign was half over. $1,371,000,000, or 33 per cent of the total finally reached, had been subscribed. This record in the third loan drive, $420,000,000 less than at the corresponding stage of the present drive, wap achieved In two weeks, as compared with ten days which have passed In the current campaign. These facts seeta to show that progress In the fourth loan Is comparable to that of the third, which was highly successful. Treasury officials who try to Judge the present situation with neither undue optimism nor unjustified pessimism, point out,-however, that the six billion dollar credit. which the people now are trying to accumulate for the government's use is twice as large as the three billions sought in the third campaign, and is nearly fifty per cent greater than the $4,176,00(M)00 actually subscribed to the third loan. Besides, it is said by those who study i the tendencies of the various loans, subscribers to the fourth loan are paying their Initial ten per cent Installments much faster than in previous campaigns and since only the subscriptions thus guaranteed are counted by headquarters, the unreported but vailed pledges at present are of less volume than at the corresponding period of the third loan. - Puzzled Over Prospects. On the closing day of the third loan campaign. reported subscriptions amounted to $3,008,000,000, yet when the great task of compiling last day pledges was completed a week or two later, the total was more than a bil- . lion higher, or $4,176,000,000. The belated flood consisted largely of small subscriptions. Few purchases running Into the millions were recorded. In the present campaign, a larger Inflow of subscriptions from big business interests . and individuals of wealth Is expected. To a large extent, however, these already have been entered, and are Included In the current totals. It Is for reasons such as these that treasury officials are puzzled over the prospects of the fourth Liberty loan. They hardly can believe the American people will let a war loan fall below the goal at this time, yet the available figures do not look well. ' Hence the cautionary plea that every individual should double his third loan subscription. When the third loan was half over, subscriptions by districts and percentages of their quotas were as follows: St. Louis. 112 millions. 86 per cent; Kansas City. 73 millions. 56 per cent: Chicago, 221 millions, 52 per cent; Dallas, 40 millions. 51 per cent; San Francisco, 108 millions, 51 per cent; MIneapolis. 52 millions, 50 per cent; Philadelphia, 103 millions, 42 per cent; Boston, 113 millions, 45 per cent; New York, 372 millions, 41 per cent; Cleveland, 124 millions, 41 per cent; Richmond, 36 millions, 27 per cent; Atlanta, 9 millions, 10 per cent. More than $13,000,000 has been subscribed in the navy toward the fourth loan. Rear Admiral Cowie reported today. Societies Subscribe. "Remember the Tampa!" a rallying cry originated by the United States Coastguard, and used in boosting its subscriptions from $50,000 to $160,000, now Is being sent to coastguard stations everywhere. This Is the message which has been sent out to the guard: "The U. S. Cutter Tampa, while acting as a convoy for a fleet of transports carrying our troops to the other Side, went to a watery grave with all on board. Far in the lead, to make the course safe for those who followed, she received the blow no doubt intended for them. Her duty was clear. Her sacrifice great. At twelve o'clock noon, when the siren calls each one of us. remember the brave officers and sailors of the coastguard, who took the blow, and gave their lives that the transports which followed in their wake might land In safety." W. A. Frasier, sovereign commander of the Woodmen of the World today notified Secretary McAdoo that his organizatln had subscribed $1,200,000 to the loan. The American Defense society, through its board of trustees is to subscribe $250,000 in fourth Liberty bonds as a nucleus of a foundation to secure continuance of the society as a permanent organization. coi'giirh so tin ori.nT si.ekp. , Pronchlal coushs. ttekllrmr In throat and asthmatic epasms break one's rest and weaken one so that the system Is run down ami serious sickness may result.

W. S. Tittle Asked Himself Many Times What He Could Do to Get Relief From Stomach Trouble, Inquiry Solved When He Began Taking Pepgen, Now Has Splendid AppetiteC

"Yes Pepgen brought me the right answer to a question I had often ask myself. 'How I could get my stomach in first-class condition ?'" says W. S Tittle, foreman of the Pan Handle Freight Depot, who lives at 309 North Seventh Street, Richmond. "In the first place Pepgen gave mo a good appetite and with It the power to digest my food. In the second place I feel a great deal stronger since taking it. It is a fine tonic." Peruvian Bark used in the manufacture of Pepgen, the new tonic now being introduced ihere by Clem Thistlethwaite and other first-class druggists, is one of the great stomach and liver medicines ever discovered, especially when it is prepared by the Pepgen Noil-Alcoholic Process. But Peruvian Bark la not the only ingredient thus treated to compound Pepgen. There is Gentian Root which aids and invigorates digestion; Fringe Tree Bark which exerts an influence upon the liver not found in any other plant. This is valuable where there is yellowness of the skin widely known because for its "effect on the muscular system which is the reason it relieves rheumatism, lumbago and gout; Plaintain Leaves which operate upon the nerves, soothing and quieting them and inducing healthy, refreshing sleep. It you have stomach trouble which

SAYS, "PEPGEN RELIEVED NUMBNESS IN MY BODY AND STOPPED FAINTING SPELLS"

"I was in Dunkirk, Ind., recently, visiting my sister, Mrs. Earl Brown of that Place, when I was taken with an exceptionally severe 'numb spell' as I call them," says Mrs. Jerome Thompson, 1612- Penn street, Muncle. "My sister was greatly alarmed and she '"' immediately gave me a dose of Pepgen from a bottle she keeps in the house. In just a little while I felt better. That was the first time I had ever heard of Pepgen or thought seriously about taking it. I had read some of the advertisements in the Muncie papers but did not pay much attention to them. Later on, however, I began using it regularly and it has done me a wonderful lot of good. And I want to Bay in this connection that it has not only helped me but it has helped my husband of stomach trouble. "When I started to taking Pepgen I was subject to fainting spells. At such times my body would become perfectly numb and my heart would flutter. "I think my trouble must have brtn caused by a disordered stomach for my stomach was in a dreadful condition. I had indigestion until my stomach felt like it was tied in a knot. My food laid heavy and felt cold. I was becoming very delicate and my strength was leaving me. "Since taking Pepgen I have not had any fainting spells and my atom-

Rheumatic Pains Were so Severe She Could Scarcely Bear Them, Mrs. Carpenter Says, "I Tried Pepgen and That Gave Me Relief Almost at Once."

"My rheumatism first came with sharp, 6hooting pains in my arms, hands and feet. Finally it extendeJ up through my limbs and then it was not a long time until I had soreness in every part of my body," says Mrs. Hattie Carpenter, 724 South Ninth St., Richmond. - "I am of the opinion that my trouble was caused by a cold which I contracted last winter while shoveling snow off of my sidewalk. -From the day I caught that cold I did ' not pass a well moment and I was beginning to give up hope of ever getting well. But now I am so much better that I hardly know how to express myself. I want to speak a good word for Pepgen but it seems almost impossible for me to do it Justice. "When I started to take Pepgen I was sitting with my elbows propped up on a soft pillow with my palms turned up.- It Is about the only position I could occupy and even then I was in misery. My knees were so sore that It took a wonderful effort' for me to walk. "I tried everything, yes, everything I knew about and that other people told me about to get relief. I took medicine by the. wagon load, so to speak and I rubbed myself with numerous liniments. My mantel piece looked like an apothecary's shop be--

manifests ' itself by gas, belching and bloating Immediately after meals, or cramps an hour or so after eating; if your liver is sluggish and makes you constipated and turns your complexion a yellowish tint; if you have kidney derangements- the ' results of which are usually backaches and finally rheumatism, lumbago or gout; if your nerves are "edgy" you feel restless and cannot -sleep- soundly at night, arising in the morning with a headache and it requires half an hour for you to pull yourself together; if you have any of these symptoms, you owe it to yourself to try Pepgen. It is different from -anything you have ever tried. .Testimonials from grateful people Tight- here In your own city prove how it has helped others. Why won't It help you? There is no alcohol, wine or spirits used in the process of making Pepgen. The fact is that a small dose of alcohol will often irritate the tender membranes of the internal organs just as surely as it will inflame the surface if dropped into the eye make it red and firey. .Alcohol dilates .the tiny blood vessels in the stomach and allows part of the food to pass from the stomach unchanged Irritating and Inflaming, wherever it goes. In severe cases of chronic rheumatism or lumbago a liniment made of mustard, red pepper, sassafras, men ii mm ' 1 Mrs. Jerome Thompson, Muncle. ach is fairly good. . I have a fine appetite and my food agrees with me. I feel active and full of life. I am so much more cheerful that I hardly know myself. I am even eating breakfast now. That is something I never did before I took Pepgen. "One cannot get such splendid relief without wanting to tell others about it. At least that is the way I feel about it. I told my father about Pepgen and now he is taking it. He says it has done him as much good as it did me. Pepgen has a firet-class reputation in our family since it helped my father, my husband and myself. I am certainly enthusiastic. Wouldn't you be the same if you were in my place." cause there was so many bottles on it. Nothing helped me. Sometimes I would get temporary relief but that Is all. One thing 1 remember that helped me for a while was horseradish rubbed in salt and vinegar but it was only for a short time. My pains came back with re-doubled energy. "Under the strain my entire system began to give away. I grew very slender. My appetite was poor. I waa in a nervous condition and lost much sleep. "Then one day when I was feeling very bad I heard about Pepgen. I didn't have much faith in it. but still I decided to try it. I said to myself. Til take a chance anyway.' "That chance was certainly a lucky one for Pepgen gave me more relief than anything I ever tried. It seemed to go right to the spot. "First I noticed that the throbbing pains were net so severe when I sat quiet and then later I could move my body without having it feel as It was going to break in two and now, I am fairly well. ; v.,,.'1 - "I have touches of the rheumatism every now and then and for that reason I am going to keep righ on taking Pepgen.

thol and ammonia should be use! externally In conjunction with Pepgen Internally. Everybody knows the old fashioned mustard plaster had power to relieve pain but it blistered. This liniment will not blister. It can be obtained, already prepared, under the name of Pepgen liniment. In treating constipation, when tha ailment Is of long standing, a mild laxative should be taken at, first, la connection with Pepgen tonic and this virtue will be found In Pepgen Laxative Tablets. A full explanation of Pepgen products, how they should be taken to secure best results, may bo obtained at ThlsUethwalte's drug stores. These products are also sold by other first-class druggists In Richmond and nearby towns. Mr. Thistlethwalte says: "I have been In the drug business for twenty years and I am well acquainted with all proprietary medicines sold in this locality. It is only natural that I should endeavor to learn their merits. I have sold many remedies and can truthfully state that I never knew of medicines which gave such universal satisfaction as the Pepgen Products. They are fine tonics for the stomach, kidneys, liver and nerves. They are non-secret medicines and every customer who has bought a bottle at our stores is well satisfied."

SAYS FIRST DOSE HELPED HUSBAND OF INDIGESTION Richmond Woman Is Glad to Recommend New Preparation at Thistlethwaite's. "Almost the first dose relieved m husband of Indigestion," says Mrs. E. J. Gilliland, 512 North 20th street, Richmond in describing her personal observa' of Pepgen, the new preparation, ;ng Introduced here by Clem Thistlethwalte, well-known druggist of this city. Mr. Gilliland works for the F. X. Watt Casket Company. Continuing Mrs. Gilliland says, "And that is not the only way that Pepgen helped my husband. It also relieved htm o headaches with which he was frequently annoyed and which originated, we think, from a bilious condition of his system. "His sleep Is more sound and he feels better in many ways since taking Pepgen." There is nothing In the world that binds men and women so securely as failing health. The great trouble is that sickness comes like a thief in thu night and the signs of warning are often unheeded. A little languor at first followed by troubled sleep jumping and dreams lack of stamnla and other symptoms are hidden evils which later develops Into derangements of the vital organs. Many people say, "I will feel better tomorrow," but tomorrow nev er comes. In this enlightened age the man or woman who lives and does not learn fails to safeguard their health and they are guilty of an unpardonable error. They are the keepers of their own health and the responsibility rests with themselves. Pepgen should be tried by everybody. It is the embodiment of many of the old fashioned herb remedies as well as some of the newly discovered.' All are blended into one great tonic meals. I have found It quieting to the nerves, too." Fighting disease is much like a nation fighting its enemies. It Is sot enough for a nation to station guns and soldiers on Its frontier. The great war l.s demonstrated that there must be force of every kind back of the fortifications and soldiers. The man who makes a gun and the woman who feeds the man that makc3 the gun are just as important as tba man who shoots the gun. It is not enough to have a hard fist or one muscle as big as a cocoanut. That would not secure the body from its worst foes rheumatism, weakness, nervousness, Indigestion, sleeplessness, falling vitality, premature eld age, stomach trouble, constipation anl other diseases. Many men and women have forti. tied their bodies against weakness in a practical way by taking Pepgen to correct faults of their digestion to tone inactive livers, to eaae traiael kidneys, to stimulate the appetite, J4 assimilation, rebuild health thfouzb, the stomach, blood and nerves i that they can eat, sleep, work amp play with pleasure and profit. Pen gen Is a general tonic By building up the system many ills, as a natural consequence, eliminate themselves, Pepgen may be obtained at Thisll thwaite's or from any first-class druggist in Richmond and nearby towns.
