THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM FRIDAY, JAN. 17,4919.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM . Published Every Evening Except Sunday, by Palladium Printing. Co. Palladium Building. North Ninth and Sailor Street Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second Class Mall Matter, i ii i . . MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED F1UBSS Th Associated Prsas Is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches aedited to It or not otherwise credited In this paper and also the local (taws published herein. All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. The Nation is Dry .x State legislatures ratified the federal amendment providing for the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of liquor with such rapidity this week that the country experienced trouble in keeping up with the pace. 1 Politicians evidently saw that prohibition was to win with a rush so they jumped on the water wagon with a vim that amused the.ttrys who were standing aside watching the procession of states joining the prohibition movement. No one has questioned for two years that prohibition was bound to win. Enlightened public opinion was back of the movement with such force that the wets had no show or chance of defeating it with an eleventh hour attack. The liquor elements saw the handwriting on the wall two years ago. It fought hard to hold its grip on the public, but the campaign which

had been waged for a generation in the schools and churches would not be checked. Its cumulative effect is to be seen this week in the ratification of the federal amendment by one state after another without hitch or argument, in fact, with a rapidity that even surprised the temperance people who had not hoped to have enough states ratify the measure until March at the earliest.

War Contracts The Indianapolis News remarks with emphasis that the government should waste no time adjusting war contracts. During the war it urged manufacturers to adapt their plants to the production of munitions. It put the issue up to them as a patriotic measure. Now, since the war is over, the government should not haggle about making an adjustment with the owners that will recompense them for their loss. Labor has a vital interest in this adjustment, too. So long as the matter is held in abeyance, manufacturers will be at loss to know how to proceed, and as a result workers will be thrown out of employment. "Now that fighting has ceased," says the News, "the government does not want many things it ordered. Where the manufacturers acted in good faith it should do likewise. As long as the claims remain unadjusted there will be a period of uncertainty. Business men want to get back to a peace basis. They want to know what they can plan for the future. Labor also wants to know this The government should not haggle about technicalities. Many things have been done in an emergency and so long as there has been no graft attached the people were satisfied. All the manufacturers want now is fair treatment and quick action."

More than 200 citizens were killed. One hundred were wounded. During the days of the revolution the disorderly elements of Berlin, the criminals and crooks, held sway. Every store near police headquarters was systematically looted. One youth who was captured had 60,000 marks worth of jewels. f . Property loss is estimated at $2,500,000. Government buildings and newspaper plants were wrecked. The loss sustained by merchants has not been estimated. The folly of Bolshevism needs no better illustration than the Berlin riots offer. What Lenine and Trotzky did to Russia is known to every school boy. Many decades will pass before that country recovers from the nefarious blow struck by the insane followers of the Bolshevik program. . ' " Bolshevism is not democracy. It is simon pure anarchy. After it has swept through a country, desolation and ruin mark its . wake. Carrying within itself the germs of arson, pillage and murder, it cannot do constructive work. It does not elevate a people to a freer government. It dees not relieve conditions, ameliorate economic hardships ; but intensifies suffering and leaves the masses distracted, mentally deranged, and financially worse off than before. Bolshevism breeds where two conditions prevail tyranny and lack of opportunity. In our country democracy governs, the courts are open to the rich and poor, no tyrant holds sway and rules our destiny. Opportunity for economic betterment is found everywhere. Ability and application make for success here. Millions of poor immigrants, landing on our shores with no money and no knowledge of our customs, language and business methods, have attained a competency for old age and many have died rated as rich men in their communities.

Di n n e r Stor ie

Under the dim lights the ultra modern lover sat In sUence Those sweet words, old as the stars but always new, had been spoken, and the answer had been "Yes." But now the ordeal was about to come. . " "Be brave, dear heart," he said. "Be brave!" And bravely she passed

into the library, to face his stern parent. "Mrs. Duflicker," she ventured with quaking heart, 'I have come to ask you for your son's band in marriage." Coldly the stern parent spoke: "Young lady, are you able to support my son in the style to which he is accustomed?" .

The Price of Bolshevism The bloody week of Bolshevism in Berlin is ended. What has been won ? What have the deluded apostles of destruction 'gained ? How have the people profited?

Labor Legislation in 1918 From the Outlook. A3 USUAL at the end of a year, the American Association for Labor Legislation has issued a statement of accomplishment. The end, of 1918 is notable as registering the fact that now no less than thirty-eight states have workmen's compensation laws and Alaska, Hawaii, and Porto Rico as well. The federal government also provides such protection for its own 1,000,000 civilian employees. The tendency of this legislation is to cover all employments except farm labor and domestic service, but some states still limit compensation to so-called "hazardous" employments. The compensation for disability ranges from 50 to 66 2-3 per cent, the latter being the rate under the federal law and hi Massachusetts, Nebraska, New York and Ohio. In death cases, under the federal law the widow receives 35 per cent of her deceased husband's wages, with 10 per cent in addition for each child, the total never to exceed 66 2-3 per cent. With variations, a number of

states follow this plan. Most laws, allow, however, in

addition, "about $100 for burial.

In all States and Territories except Alaska, Kansas,

Louisiana, and Minnesota, payment of compensation is

made certain by requiring employers to insure their

risk. Now all this is praiseworthy. But one thing is lacking vocational rehabilitation. Last year Massachusetts authorized its Industrial Accident Board to aid in re-educating and finding employment for those injured in Industry: Other states should follow, and, in particular, federal legislation is needed along this line. Congress recently provided for the rehabilitation of disabled

coldiers and sailors and for their return to civil employ

ment. Why should not such enlightened legislation be extended to Include the far larger number of workers wounded in industry? On September 4, 1918, such a measure was, we are glad to say, introduced in both houses of Congress.

GOOD EFECTS OF REMEDIES CONTAINING MO ALCOHOL ARE MORE LASTING, HE DECLARES

Richmond Man Endorses Pepgen, Av-

Ideal Tonic For Kidney and . , -, . ... Liver. :

ACHES AND PAINS GONE

"I feel that it Is my duty to tell publicly how much good Pepgen did me," says S. S. Percified, 420 North Eighth St., Richmond. Mr. Percifleld Is a barber. He has lived in this city for 34 years. In telling his experience with Pepgen he refers to a new preparation entirely free from alcohol, wine or spirits which is now being Introduced by the Thistlethwaite drug stores. ' . . "I really believe I was on the -verge of a breakdown," continues Mr. Percifleld. My kidneys were out of order and I had sharp pains in my back. My circulation was poor. "I couldn't sleep soundly, consequently when I got up in the mornings I felt tired and worn out. Nothing seemed to go right. Felt Better in a Short Time. "I tried Pepgen and while I have used it only a short time I feek better. My backaches are about gone. Some years ago I read medicine and I am In a position to know that the Pepgen formula is a splendid tonic, and I believe the good effects of remedies containing no alcohol are more lasting. I intend to use it until I am perfectly well and if I improve in the future as I have in the past it won't be very long. "The rest of my family, seeing how much good Pepgen was doing me, have started to take it. They all speak favorably." Half a century ago physicians believed that alcohol was a tonic, but in recent years great authors have asserted that alcohol could not be a tonic it is a stimulant. All intelligent people are beginning to know that a substance that will destroy health and vitality has no power to make the sick well or give added strength to the weak. If you are not feeling right. If you have headaches, backaches, indigestion or are nervous try Pepgen. It is Indorsed by Tbistlethwaite's and other first-class drug stores In Richmond and nearby towns.

THIS RICHMOND WOMAN EATING HEARTILY NOW Mrs. Frank Steele Was Forced to Live on Light Diet Before Taking Pepgen.

Mrs. Frank Steele, who lives at 79 Ft. Wayne Avenue, Richmond, says that she is now able to enjoy a hearty meal for the first time in months and gives the credit of her new found appetite to taking Pepgen. When she tells how she was relieved people who are likewise troubled would do well to have confidence in her statement. "Yes, for the first time in months I am able to enjoy a hearty meal," says Mrs. Steele. I can now eat meat, potatoes, vegetables and pastry without having indigestion afterwards. Beans were something that always upset me I could taste them for days. Now they don't hurt me in the least. "I used to have such awful pains in my stomach. I give all credit to Pepgen for my improved condition. Before I took it I was generally run down. My nerves often felt like they were giving away. Sometimes I could hardly keep from fainting. "I have personally recommended the medicine to my aunt and I only wish I could personally recommend it to every other person who feels like i did." Pepgen may be obtained at Thistlethwaite's drug stores or from any other leading druggist in Richmond and nearby towns.

'"My husband was very nervous when he started to take Pepgen," says Mrs. June Klett, 26 Ft. Wayne Avenue, Richmond. "He couldn't sleep soundly at night. As a result he felt draggy during the day. His appetite was poor. "Since taking Pepgen he Is more cheerful and not so irritable. He eats heartily and sleeps soundly. "From our experience we know that Pepgen is a great tonic and we do not hesitate to recommend it. I am now taking it, too, and already it is beginning to make me feel stronger." Scores of people are allowing their bodies to wear out "simply because they do not assist nature ocassionally. When a little kidney or stomach trouble is noticed it should be promptly attended to. Virtue will be found in Pepgen tonic which Is delicately adapted to aid the kidneys, stomach and liver. If you don't feel right try it. Sold by Thistlethwaite's and other firstclass druggists in Richmond and nearby towns.

DRUGGIST' PAYS

A COMPLIMENT TO A MEDICINE

Says He Never Found Anything Better Than Pepgen in Years of Experience.

Never before has a greater compliment been paid to any medicinal product than was given to Pepgen by Mr. Clem Thistlethwaite, proprietor of the Thistlethwaite drug stores, In Richmond, Indianapolis and Middletown, O. Mr. Thistlethwaite is a man well qualified to speak. He has been in the drug business for twenty years. Under no condition would he recommend a medicine which he did not know to be trustworthy and reliable. "I have been in the drug business for twenty years and I am well acquainted with all proprietary medicines that are sold in this locality," says Mr. Thistlethwaite, "and it is only natural that I should endeavor to learn their merits in the hope that I may be better able to assist our patrons. "I have sold many remedies and can truthfully state that never in the history of my business career as a druggist, have I ever found a remedy which gives such universal satisfaction as Pepgen. "It's a tonic for the stomach, kidneys, liver and nerves. The virtue of Pepgen depends upon a special process of treating peppermint, gentian, Peruvian bark and other ingredients without the use of alcohol, wine or spirits. It is a non-secret medicine and every customer who has bought a bottle is well satisfied with it. "Any person who asks about Pepgen at our stores will be given a full explanation."

PEPGEN TONIC IS EXPLAINED

Non-8ecret Formulas Enable People to Know What They Arc Taking.

, Pepgen Is not a secret remedy. The formula Is printed on the back of every package. It contains only remedies of approved and recognized merit. All of the ingredients are carefully selected and scientifically compounded by the special Pepgen process in which neither sugar nor alcohol Is used. Persons with kidney Ills should .carefully avoid sugar as should also people with weak stomachs. Sugar often produces what is called saccharine ferment. Alcohol is very bad for people who are subject to rheumatism and even the slightest amount of this stlmulent sometimes produces an attack. In Pepgen will be found peppermint leaves used to stop nausea, relieves spasmodic pain in the stomach and bowels and expel gas. Gentian root, which possesses tonic properties In a high degree. It aids and invigorates digestion. Peruvian bark, an antimalarial agent is of service in debility and wasting diseases, pallor, improverished blood and feeble recuperative power. Fringe Tree Bark exerts a special Influence upon the liver. It Is of benefit where there is yellowness of the skin and eyes and a sense of uneasiness in the right side. Black Cohosh through its influence upon the muscular system is recommended for rheumatism, neuralgia and lumbago. Plantain leaves contain properties valuable in kidney and bladder derangement

MRS. L. J. REFENBARY.

Mrs. L. J. Refenbary, practical nurse for fifteen years who lives at the Palms hotel, 615 Grand Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa, having tried out Pepgen to her own satisfaction for nervousness and stomach disorders, now recommends it to everyone she comes in contact with in her daily work. "I talk Pepgen all the time," she says. "I am enthusiastic about this new non-alcoholic tonic because it Is the best thing I ever found for stomach, nerves and liver. "Before I took Pepgen I was nervous. Being up at all hours of the night attending to the sick got me in such a condition that I couldn't sleep soundly. When I went to bed hiy

nerves wouldn't relax and often I would lie awake for hours. I do not think there is anything that will completely break down the system quicker than lack of sound sleep. "My stomach became disordered. Food soured and caused heartburn. Gas formed and pressed up against my heart until I was short of breath. As anybody who has stomach trouble knows, I was subject to headaches and dizzy spells. "Since taking Pepgen almost all of these unpleasant symptoms have left me. I sleep like a tired child for seven or eight hours. I seldom wake up during that time. When I get up I feel refreshed and I do not have that tired feeling I used to have."
