HUN AGENT'S ACTIVITIES IN BRITAIN SHOWN

Made Preparations Before War to Land German Forces on Isle of Wight. (Pv Associated Tre) IONXON. Jan. 9. Secrets of the war work of the British Secret Service low revealed, show that German spies 5r agents of the German government, nere making active preparations, even Defore the beginning of hostilities, to vo tk1 nf .Wieht as a landing place for German forces and for the 9ombardment of Portsmouth. One ot the first precautions taken in August. 1314. was to place close restrictions n persons trying to land upon or leave the island. From Harwich to Hampshire, along the south and southeast roasts of England, nests of German .spies and agents were engaged in desperate missions, In the early days or the war. One of the urgent tasks or the British Secret Service was to stamp out the operations of these men. For a long time the authorities were unable to discover the origin of Morse signals that were being flashed out to German submarines from the sea front at Pevensey. Special watch was kept on a certain cottage and, although no lights were shown, the patient observers finally solved the mystery. They learned that after dusk several persons near an upper window manipulated what appeared to be a dial of an ordinary clock. A raid on the cottage disclosed that the clock dial was fitted with a dark prism. By focusing the prism on the strong headlight of a fishing smack anchored off shore, it was possible to send forth signal flashes. These flashes were not visible to a person standing on the beach, but out in the channel they could be read easily. Efforts to Enlist. Retween the coast and Tunbridge Wells, which was the headquarters of a British army corps, a band ot gypsies made the rounds of villages undisturbed until an officer made the significant discovery that none of them could converse in Romany, the gypsy tongue. Investigation by Secret Service men proved conclusively that the masqueraders. while pretending to trade with the country folk and tell fortunes, secured important information as to the movements of troops in the southern command. Prompt and drastic action followed these revelations. Al the beginning of the war numerous instances came to light of aliens attempting to enlist under false pretenses. If the recruiting officers were dissatisfied with a man's appearance or accent, he was taken aside and the oath was administered to him separately. It is practically impossible for a foreigner to repeat the unusual phrasing of the oath, without betraying his origin, and in that way many dangerous spies were captured. About Christmas, 1914, a foreign dlp- , lomat in London received an a. onymous gift of pate de foie gras. Suspiclon was aroused and analysis fhowed the presence of a deadly poison. Secret Service agents were called In and they proceeded to work on the theory that the pate de foie gras had come from one of theree aliens then under surveillance. Accordingly, to each of them was sent anonymously a can of foie gras exactly similar in appearance to the can containing the poisoned stuff. The landlady of one of the trio opened and served it for his supper, and it was not until late in the evening that she told him that the can had heen addressed to him. Thinking that he had eaten his own poison, the man actually became ill. He was promptly arrested. RETURN TO HOMES.

French Woman Describes Gallant March of Yanks onWay to Final Victory

Mr. and Mrs. John Hugo of this city have received a letter from Madam Adeline Aubrey, of France, with whom they have coresponded several times regarding their son Fred Hugo, with the American Forces in France. Hugo has spent some time in the home of Madam Aubrey, who has opened her doors to the "Yanks." Her latest letter follows: "Your two letters or tne monin ui j ... - I November gave us great pleasure. Your pretty photographs received a few days later delighted us. Now you will no longer be strangers to us, in fact you were net before because in all your letters you showed us so much sympathy.

Many fell weakened and were gathered in from the waysides and small villages. Such men were led on foot to the frontier following the signing of the armistice wherever the Huns said, "Go, you are free." Some of the former prisoners that we saw passing our house had tears in their eyes. However, we took good care of them here, and a few days later they started on so much better in appearance that they made you wonder they were the same men who had had to do evil to the enemy as they had to our men. But the French are always humane and the Americans also. I admire, dear Madam, the good jest and the spontaneous buoyancy of your boys. One must have whole hearted and healthy minds to have lived over here. It is a very fatiguing life, especially if one has to fight. We have had many here that were not strenuously occupied. They were about twelve miles from the fighting line and were not in serious action. They cared for those in hospitals, they

"My son is very hard on shoes, so keeping him properly shod has been quite an expense to me," writes Mr. J. Allison Allen, of Amity, Arkansas. "But since I started to buy Neolinsoled shoes for him I have found that it costs only about a third as much to keep him in shoes. " This is because Neolin Soles are so tough and durable that they wear a very long time. Shoe bills are kept down because you don't need so many pairs. You can get Neolin-soled shoes at almost any good shoe store. They come in all styles and for all members of the family. Neolin Soles are also available everywhere for re-soling. They are produced by a scientific process to be what soles ought to be: comfortable, waterproof and long-wearing.

FIFTH ST. WOMAN

SO NERVOUS THAT I COULD MOT SLEEP GOOD; PEPGEN QUIETED"

"Yes, I was so nervous that I could not sleep good. When I went to bed my nerves would not relax and I often laid for hours before going to sleep," says Mrs. G. W. Baker, 224 South Fifth St., Richmond. "I attribute a great deal of this trouble to my stomach because along towards evening gas would form in my stomach. Although 1 had a great deal of trouble after breakfast and dinner I seemed to have my worst trouble after supper. Of course I ate ugnt suppers but even then I was in misery. I tried to go without supper entirely but that made me too weak. "Since I have been taking Pepgen I am able tb eat anything I want and I can go to bed with positive assurance that I am going to get a good night's sleep. "I first heard of Pepgen through one of my neighbors who told me ow it had helped her." Pepgen is a matchless reconstructive tonic for run-down nerves, kidneys. stomacn ana iiver un mainwrecks out of thousands of men and women. It eives them better diges tion, causes them to eat heartily and sleep soundly. Gives them more strength and energy to do their work. All the nerves of the human body center in the stomach. Within the stomach lies the great neumogastric nerve. All others are its tributaries and are dependent upon this powerful storaeo Dlant to supply them with Lni,i.i.hmoiit Kervp weakness almost begins in the stomach. Pepgen is delicately adapted to the needs of this organ and the stomach natural ly hungers for it. Pepgen is a vegetable stomach food and its nutritive properties enable the stomach to supply the blood with building material FOOD SOURED CAUSING GAS AND BLOATING Mrs. Edward Sharits, 515 South 6th St., Richmond, recently called at Thistiethwalte's drue store to obtain a bottle of Pepgen. In answer to a question as to how she liked Pepgen Mrs. Sharits said: "I am not taking Pepgen myself. I am buying this for my father-in-law, Mr. William Sharits. He was troubled with his stomach and liver. His food soured and caused gas and bloating. "He has been taking Pepgen but a short while and says it has almost entirely relieved him. Pepgen not only helped his stomach but it made him feel stronger. He tells me that it is no great hardship for him to get up in the mornings and go to work where before he took Pepgen he dreaded his work because he always felt tired. "Pepgen has made such a change in my father-in-law's condition that we are glad he is going to continue to take it." Pepgen is now the sensation of the drug trade in the United States. In the history of patent medicines there has never been a record worthy of comparison with Pepgen. The enormous popularity of Pepgen is due to its meritorious effects in stomach trouble, indigestion, dyspepsia, headaches, constipation, backache, kidney and liver ills. Clem Thistlethwaite says the sales of Pepgen in Richmond have more than doubled the sale of any other medicine. The Meyer Brothers Drug Co., of Muncie, report that the sale or Pepgen in that city is astonishing. The Terminal Pharmacy of Terre Haute also report enormous sales. The J. F. Bcmm Drug Co., or uvansvine sav that out of the great quantity sold at their stores they have not had one dissatisfied customer. The Kiefer Stewart Drug Co. and the Mooney-Mueller-Ward Drug Co. of Indianapolis, wholesalers, report a large demand for Pepgen in all parts of the state of Indiana.

PURE CASGARA IS A FINE LAXATIVE Should Be Mixed With Senna Leaves To Secure Better Results. Pure Cascara is one of the best laxatives known to the medical world, but cascara alone is not always sufficient to overcome a severe and aggra vated case of constipation. j Senna Leaves are another popular, home remedy for constipation, but j like cascara, they will not answer the ! problem wnere tne anmeni is oi ions standing. To secure best results cascara and senna should be used in ; combination. Two small horses traveling in the same direction will always outpull one big horse that weighs as much as both of them. To mix cascara and senna in exactly the proper proportions to always have a uniform dose requires a chemists' skill but you can purchase them already mixed under the name of "Pepgen Laxative Tablets." It is a good idea to take Pepgen Laxative Tablets at the same time you take Pepgen Tonic. The laxative tablets keep the bonels open while the tonic acts as stomachic and strength builder. .

which in turn builds the kidneys, liver and other organs. A good healthy stomach guarantees nerve security. The stomach thrives on Pepgen. With the epidemics that sweep over the country from time to time there Is plainly shown the need for a good tonic as it i3 claimed by most authorities that people in a run-down condition are susceptible to disease while those who are healthy generally escape the attacks of disease germs. The disease terms attack healthy bodies as well as unhealthy ones, the difference being that the healthy body is able to throw off the attack while the weakened body succumbs. It has been said that Pepgen is well advertised that is true but, alter an. it is what the neighbors say that counts most. Such a record-breaking sale as Pepgen has had in Richmond could not have been brought about by advertising alone. One bottle of Pepgen is sold in a j neighborhood through advertising but ten more are sold in that community after the first bottle produces results as was the case where Mrs. Baker's neighbor told her about Pepgen. People are always wining to taiK about their ailments, but they are more than willing to tell others or the medicine that helped them. It is something they couldn't keep to themselves If they tried, for the impulse to sympathize with neighbors and want to help them is one of the strongest as well as one of the biggest things in human nature. Who is there that has been relieved of the pangs of illness by Pepgen that would not tell his suffering neighbor? Get Pepgen at any of Thistlethwaite's drug stores or from any other first-class drug store anywhere.

MAPLE ST. HUSBAND AND WIFE

SAY, "PEPGEN FOR RUN DOWN "Both my husband and I de clare that Pepgen is the best tonic for run-down constitutions, says Mrs. w. E. Brannon, 230 Maple Street, Richmond. "We should be very good judges of a tonic, too. for we were both in a poor state of health when we began to take Pepgen," she continues. Pepgen took hold of us right from the very start. We have now taken it for several weeks and besides making us stronger it has helped us in other ways given us good appetites and better nerves." Pepgen's aid to the people suffering with stomach, kidney and liver Ills has been unusual. It has been simple and natural for Pepgen is Nature's medicine for common everyday diseases which beset mankind, debilitate both men and women, deprive them of happiness and fullness of existence that ought to by right belong to everybody; impair the digestion, destroy the appetite; retard the functions of the vital organs and thus by injury to the stomach, blood and nerves destroy vigor and ambition and the general health. The fact that Pepgen is sold and recommended by first-class druggists is in itself proof of its merit. All over the country the druggists who recommend Pepgen are the druggists who serve the people in the largest cities and the smallest villages. But everywhere they are the big, upstanding, representative merchants of their communities, enjoying the confidence of all who know them. When they recommend a medicine they know it is good. These druggists who so enthusias Disordered Condition of Stomach Was Breaking Down Entire System. WW MRS. MAMIE C.

Worthington. 1739 North Sixth street, Terre Haute, indorses Pepgen because she believes it is the humanitarian spirit to help the "other fellow" if you can. and that is the first thought of many men and women who voluntarily tell what Pepgen has done for them. "I am sure that all the good things the people in other cities are saying about Pepgen are true. I know from experience that what Terre Haute people say is true. Pepgen is far bet ter than any patent medicine 1 ever i used. I have a splendid appetite and no trouble with my stomach since I have been taking it, where before I !had indigestion almost every day for months.' Pepgen is ah appetizer and being delicately adapted to stomach needs it eentlv nersuades assimilation. It is choice medicine for pale, weak, slender people.

DOCTORS FORMULA FINDS A HEARTY PUBLIC WELCOME Gives the Name of Each Ingredient Together With Treatise Describing Their Uses. It is just a little more than one year ago that Pepgen was first introduced to the public. It is the formula of a well known Dayton, O., physician, who used it in bis private practice previous to that time, obtaining many remarkable results. There is no secret about its composition as the ingredients used in the manufacture are printed on the back of each carton together with an explanation of their action. At first the sales were small, but as the value of the medicine became better known the sales increased until today this remarkable preparation has been used by scores right here in Richmond alone. The American Drug company which put Pepgen on the market was completely swamped with orders in three months and found itself unable to supply Pepgen in sufficient quantity to meet the monster demand. Overwhelmed with the colossal sales it became necessary for the company to increase the capacity of its laboratories. but now the thousands of people who have been waiting for Pepgen may share in the benefits of relief experienced through its influence in stomach, kidney and liver ailments and symptoms which arise from these disorders, such as nervousness, dyspepsia, dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of flesh, waning strength, blotchy complexion, also offensive and annoying derangements like bad breath. IS BEST TONIG CONSTITUTIONS" tically recommend Pepgen have a good reason for so doing. They know that Pepgen deserves to be recommended. Back of Ppgen's triumphs in the drug stores is Pepgen's triumphs in the homes. Pepgen has so much merit. It Is so splendid a tonic for stomach, diges tion, kidneys and liver, that it has become a household medicine. Pepgen is an upbuilder, appetizer, invigorant and revitalizer to relieve the weakness, illness and general depletion of the body force resultant from the breaking down of the digestive processes. Eating food is not enough to supply the body. Food taken into the stomach must be rendered into blood, bone and muscle. If the digestive organs are not ready to perform their functions the food becomes waste, sours, ferments and creates poisons which are carried throughout the system. Pepgen is designed to aid assimilation, so that food which is taken into the system will serve as fuel for the body to keep the human engine moving as it should. Indigestion, dyspepsia, belching and bloating from gas, sourness and soreness of the stomach, Inactive liver, biliousness, dizziness, kidney troubles, sharp, shooting pains in all parts of the body, rheumatism, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, nervousness, irritability, falling off of weight, foul breath, catarrhal conditions of the mucous membranes these ailments Pepgen was designed to relieve and thousands have testified that Pepgen relieved them, made them feel well and strong again, fit once more for a day's work and a night's 6leep.
