shown emphatically that there

consumers and not enough producers in this .country. The application of spare time by the children released thousands of tons of foodstuffs -fur use by our army and for the sustenance of ,the allied armies and peoples. School Life, in a recent article entitled "Good for Children", makes the following observation ton garden work: To work under kindly and intelligent direction, with their feet in the soil, their heads in the sunshine, and .their lungs filled with good fresh air. ; To work till they are tired and hungry, and can eat heartily and sleep soundly. 1 To work with nature and become familiar with nature's phenomena and laws as they cannot from any set lessons in school. ' To work at tasks that cannot be finished in an hour, or a day, or a week, but which must continue through weefis and months and years, with a reward only for those who hold out faithfully to the end. To form the habits of endurance to which such work must lead. To work at something in which the relations of cause and effect are so evident as they are in the cultivation "and growth of crops. To work at problems the results of which are not wholly subjective, and in which their degree of success or failure is written more plainly and certainly than by per cent marks in the teachers' record books. To know the mystic joy of work in co-operation with the illimitable and unchanging forces of Nature. To come to learn the fundamental principle of morality that every person must contribute to his own support, and by labor of head or hand or heart pay in equal exchange at least for what he consumes.

Evidently he has never heard his son-in-law sing. It would hardly be amiss for him to purchase standing room and fqueeze himself into a small space where he could listen for a bit. Perhaps he might then conclude that he rarrled an enormous tonnage of coal to Newcastle when he informed people that Mr. Enrico Caruso is a "public singer." Those who think that the singing of this tenor in "The Prophet" is inspired those who think that Enrico Caruso's voice is the one voice of all ages, resent his being called a "public singer" seeking "bald and blatant advertising." The sun, the moon, the stars and Enrico Caruso need not to advertise. JANE VIVIAN. It is to be presumed that Uncle Hon Ford's new newspaper will favor editorially the new, cheap substitute for gasoline just perfected in Washington. "The Board of Aldermen." says Shorty, our A.

The kidneys seem to suffer most, as almost every victim complains of lamo back and urinary troubles which should not be jieglected, as these danger signals often lead to more dangerous kidney troubles. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which, so many people say, soon heals and strengthens the kidneys, is a splendid kidney, liver and bladder medicine, and, being an herbal compound, has a gentle healing effect on the kidneys, which is almost immediately noticed In most cases by those who use it. - A trial will convince anyone who may be in need of it. Better get a bottle from your nearest drug 6tore, and tart treatment at once. ; However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing

An Intellectual Loss It is estimated that England lost an entire generation of young men in the war that has just come to an end. The English universities show a loss of gifted young men that is appalling. University men proved true to the traditions of their nation. When danger threatened they threw aside books and instruments to rush into the fray. They became the officers of the 8,500,000 soldiers of the army. Statistics of Oxford and Cambridge Universities show that the great majority of the young men are dead. Out of 8,000 graduates at Cambridge, only 700 are alive. University college of Oxford has eight left out of 190; Trinity College, Cambridge, has 30 out of 600; Corpus Christi, one out of 90. These casualties prove that English blood is not decadent but filled with genuine animation and spirit. Add to the losses of the two universities the casualty lists of the other institutions in Scotland, Canada, Australia and England and one can quickly form a conclusion as to the intellectual loss suffered by the British empire.

T IS INSTINCTIVELY American that when a job is to be done the Immediate American business is to

the task at an end, it is time to set else. Sometimes the great popular urge ,

is hindered by official precautions but presently the team leaders perceive the inconsistency of straining ... . . j i against the national load and so accelerate their speed. j There are, perhaps, some very interesting sentimental reasons why our soldiers should remain in Europe and participate in the allied advance into the German neutral zone; but there are some strong practical reasons why ! the return of the soldiers should be expedited. Broadly J

speaking, the men have wound up the job to which they tet themselves. They went at it with zeal and uncompromising vigor. There remains to be done such policing as will insure the proper performance of obligations. This is largely a continental affair because, the policing once done, the French and English soldiers are only a short journey from home, whereas our Americans face a long and arduous transport. Demobilization at best can only be brought about slowly, wherefore it follows that our men will still be in service after the mass of the allies have returned to their peace time pursuits. This is extremely awkward, for there is great need in many American families for the presence of the soldier breadwinner. In the emergency it was expedient for thes families to make their way on allotments. But this slender domestic appropriation loses its spiritual elasticity when war is no longer and the families of soldiers behold their neighbors plucking up while they continue in patriotic adversity. No doubt many men are glad of the opportunity to

participate in the march to Germany. Yet they sense the , X? NeWor Vasknd how' it call to home and the end of the job. If our soldiers are f was benefiting nervous and sick peoto receive the fruits of reconstruction they should be here pie. I purchased one bottle of Nerv-

COmS NO ALCOHOL, Vffi OR SPIRITS TO CREATE FALSE SENSATIONS OF TEMPORARY HELP

Non Secret Formula Containing Only Drugs of Recognized Merit Prepared by Special Pepgin Process.

Pepgen is not a secret remedy. The formula is printed on the back of every package. It contains only remedies of approved and recognized in'erit. All of the ingredients are carefully selected and scientifically compounded by the special Pepgen Process in which no alcohol is used. Persons with kidney ills should carefully avoid alcohol. Alcohol is very bad for people who are subject to rheumatism and even the slightest amount of this stimulant sometimes produces an attack. In Pepgen will be found peppermint leaves, used to stop nausea, relieve spasmodic pains in the stomach and

RICHMOND NOW AFLAME WITH THE NEWS OF PEPGEN; LOCAL PEOPLE TELL OF EXPERIENCES

In about 95 percent of the homes, where Pepgen has been used, the people express their enthusiasm in strongest terms, is the information given out by Mr. Clem Thistlethwaite, a prominent druggist. Following is only a small number of the people who have been relieved by it: W. B.

Cannon, 19 South Sixth St., says: "I have tried many remedies for my stomach. Nothing ever helped like Pepgen. Mrs. "Millicent Robertson, 122 So. Eighth St., eats first hearty meal for over av year without having Indigestion. Mrs. Allnder, 610 South 11th St.: "Pepgen relieved my brother's rheumatism more than anything he ever took." W. H. Crump, 418 North 16th St., says: "No more sour, bitter taste in my mouth. I can't speak too highly of Pepgen." F. L. Street, 630 N. 10th St., says: "Pepgen gave me a good appetite." A. L.

TWO PEOPLE FROM BOSTON, IND., TELL THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH PEPGEN AT THISTLETHWAITES

A. H. Cullip, C. & O. Ry. switchman, Boston, Ind., was in Richmond a few days ago. He called at Thistlethwaite's drug store, 6th and Main and told the following relative to his experience with Pepgen: "My system was in a general rundown condition," says Mr. Cullip, due to the inroads made by nervous dyspepsia. I suffered a great deal with headaches and had to be very careful what I ate. "Since taking Pepgen I am able to eat pie, cake, pastry and other rich foods and enjoy them because I know I won't have a bad case of indigestion afterwards. I give the credit to Pepgen because I am gaining in weight and my appetite is splendid. I only wish I could personally recommend Pepgen to all my friends here in Richmond. "I know a number of people in Boston who are as enthusiastic about Pepgen as I am myself. I feel like a new man, so to speak. My work does not tire me as it formerly did. I sleep soundly, too and get up in the mornings feeling as bright and fresh as a new dollar, ready for my duties of the day. "Any person who has a weak stomach, poor digestion or fretful nerves will make a mistake if tbey do not try Pepgen. That is my honest opinion.

CARE OF HOUSE AND CHILDREN TAXED 13TH. STREET WOMAN'S STRENGTH TO THE VERY LIMIT

"For months there was not a day that I was not troubled with my stomach. I 6imply couldn't find relief, says Mrs. Elsie Rogers, 726 North 13th street, Richmond. . "Everything I ate caused gas to form in my stomach. I had heartburn and felt bloated after eating. Then I was also subject to headaches and dizzy spells. The care of my children and a five-room house just taxed my strength to the limit. I know there are many women here in Richmond who know just how I felt. I had the will to look after my work but I didn't have the strength and energy to perform it. "I had about given up hope that I would ever find relief when I began reading about Pepgen in the newspapers. I didn't have much faith in it but I decided to try it. "I bought a bottle and now after

Mrs. Hattie Carpenter, 724 North 9th street, says: "When I started taking Pepgen I was sitting with my elbows propped up on a pillow on account of rheumatism. Pepgen went right to the spot and relieved me." - Mrs. Phoebe Henry, 613 South "C" St., says: "Pepgen not only relieved mx . husband's stomach, but drove away sick headaches." A. C.

Ry. tells this most wonderful story about the relief she obtained from Pepgen: "For year I had stomach trouble. Recently I underwent an operation for my ailment. After my operation I didn't seem to be able to gain strength. For weeks and weeks I lay helpless in a hospital near to death's door. "My husband heard about Pepgen and decided that it would be a good thing for me to try inasmuch as I had tried so many things and didn't seem to get any better. He brought me a bottle of Pepgen and I began taking it. The results I obtained were truly wonderful. In a short time I began to gain strength and I have kept right on gaining strength until now I feel as well as I ever did in all my life. "I have a splendid appetite. I relish every mouthful of my food. I am not one bit nervous either. Any person who saw me several months ago would scarcely recognize me as the same person today. "My story seems almost too good to be true but I have scores of friends who will back up every word I say. My experience has been the cause of inducing many people in Boston to try Pepgen for they feel as I do that it saved my life."

taking it I want to say that It is really wonderful to think how that medicine helped me after my long suffering, too. "I am stronger in almost every way. I eat without being afraid that I will have heartburn or cramps or that heavy, bloated feeling that made me so uncomfortable. My family says, 'You are looking well.' And I say 'Yes, it's because I'm taking Pepgen and I guess I feel better than I look.' One of my neighbors told me she was going to try Pepgen herself and I told her she would make no mistake in doing so. Anyway I know I feel better than I have for years and I owe it all to Pepgen." If you are interested in more strength, better digestion and sounder sleep you may learn more of Pepgen at Thlstlethwaite's drug stores or from any other first-class drug store in this city and nearby towns.

Be sure and atk for "Pepgen Liniment" as that is the name under which it is sold. SAYS, "MEAT AND POTATOES AGREE WITH ME NOW" eon MRS. MARGARET CARSON Here's the story of Mrs. Margaret Carson, 1228 Mulberry street, Terre Haute, Ind.: "My stomach was in such a weak state that it was a serious problem to find food that agreed with me. I didn't have much of an appetite and even what little I ate caused me distress. "I could almost feel myself sliding down hill. My nerves seemed as if they were going to pieces. I am mighty glad I tried Pepgen. I feel like a different woman. In a few days after I began to use it I developed a good appetite. Better still, I could eat what I wanted and not be compelled to suffer with indigestion. "Yesterday I ate meat and potatoes and they agreed with me. My nerves feel steady and I rest well at night. "Together with taking Pepgen and being able to eat heartily, I have gained considerable" weight. I think so much of Pepgen that I am personally recommending it to my friends, and I surely would not ask them to try It if I did not have every confidence in it." 3RD. ST. WOMAN HAD A BAD CASE OF INDIGESTION "My trouble was dyspepsia," says Mrs. Eva Connell, 263 S. W. Third street. Richmond. "My food disagreed with me. It soured and fermented and caused a bloated, stuffy feeling. The gas formations were usually worse in the evening. "I had a disagreeable taste in my mouth. Throbbing headaches added to my discomfort. So many people here in Richmond recommended Pepgen for exactly the same troubles that I had that I decided to try it. "Since taking Pepgen my food doesn't sour as it formerly did. It is a great relief not to be troubled with that bloated, stuffy feeling. Indeed I am feeing like a new woman. "I am not at all backward in recommending Pepgen because I have found it to be a valuable medicine. Any person who tries it will find it to be ju6t as I have said 'a valuable medicine.' " Pepgen increases stomach action and quiets the nerves. It encourages the kidneys and liver and the absence of alcohol and sugar make it a safe medicine for any perstm to try. "F" ST. WOMAN'S NERVES ON EDGE; STOMACH UPSET Mrs. J. A. Mobley Answers a Question of Vital Interest to Scores of Richmond Women. "Can ' a disordered stomach upset the nerves? I am positive that it can for it did so in my case," says Mrs. J. A. Mobley, 807 North "F" street, Richmond, in answer to the above question. "Yes, indeed, the stomach has everything to do with the nerves. "Vnr sflvpral months I cannot reImember a single night that I went to bed and slept soundly, aiy nerves would not relax. When I went to bed I rolled and tossed and consequently when I got up in the mornings I felt tired and worn out before the day had begun. It is bad enough to be tired at night but it is horriblo to be tired in the morning and know you must go all through the day with a worn out, draggy feeling. It was an awful strain for me to do my housework under these conditions. "I was willing to try anything to find relief when one of my neighbors told me about Pepgen 60 as soon as I heard about it I sent to the drug store and obtained a bottle. "Pepgen not only he'ped my nerves" but it helped my stomach also. It gave me a good appetite and built up my system in a general way. I am 100 percent better all over. "Pepgen is a fine medicine. I now advise every person who is nervous or who has stomach trouble to try it."
