THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM THURSDAY,. MARCH 20, 1919.

WITH THE WOMEN OF TODAY

These are the days of the "only woman." There has been brought to our attention during the past few years the only woman congressman, the only woman army officer, the only woman to win a federal wireless license, the only woman appointed on a federal commission by any president, and now comes the only woman X-Ray operator on the British hospital staff at tho western front. Her name Is Miss Gertrude Dunn, and . she Is an American girl whose home la In Berkeley, California. Miss Dunn is .not only the only woman operator, but she was the only X-Ray operator on the British staff at the front Mis Dunn saw twenty-one months of service as a member of the Harvard Unit and received recognition for her work: from the British government. She recently returned to her home In Berkeley to recuperate after her long term of service. ANOTHER "ONLY WOMAN." Dr. Alice Hamilton, of Chicago, is to be the first woman acepted on any faculty at Harvard university. Her appointment as assistant professor of Industrial medicine was announced by the board of overseers. She win become a member of the staff of the Harvard medical school. Dr. Hamilton is well known as a bacteriologist and has become an authority on occupational diseases at present being in government service in that sort of work. Dr. Hamilton Is one of the leaders

Mother of All the Doughboys Is World's Champion Sympathizer

She Has "Son" In Every Coantry, and Gets Hundredt of Letters a Month. NO sotdler that ever went to war has bad as many volunteer relatives as the man from the TJ. S. A. He has "sisters" galore in every one of the Y.M.C.A. huts hare and abroad. They feed him. dance with him and show him the sights In whatever city or country be happens to be in. In England several hundreds of his British "cousins" are doing their utmost to give him a good time on leave. He has "brothers" aplenty, and In every country he has found "uncles enough between paydays. But the American Y. M. C. A. In London has what It contends Is the one and only Mother. She Is Mrs. John I. Raymond, and her home is in New Rochelle, N. Y. She went to England to be with her husband, who runs the commissary and stores upon which soldiers and sailors depend for the three meals served every day in the Eagle Hut, In the Strand. She has remained for about the .most important Job that has been discovered. As a bullder-up of morale, she has no rival. She Is the Official Sympathizer. NEEDLE IS CAMOUFLAGE. Over in the corner of the big London hut she sits, always busy with sewing. The needle, however, 13 mostly camouflage. A disgusted looking doughboy enters. To add to his evident disgust at things in general, there is a tear in his coat. He looks around the hut, sees Mother and makes for her. She glances up with a smile at his torn uniform. "Cortainly I can fix that so you'd hardly know It had happened," she assures the boy. "Sit down and talk to me while I do it." In that sentence there is the cue for the doughboy, and he never misses It. "Talk to me." If there is any one thing that the American soldier away from home wants to do, it is to talk providing he finds the right person to talk to. He is not hankering for mere conversation, though when he meets a girl "Y" worker from home much Trustees Get No Extra Pay For Enumerating Voters i Wayne county trustees will receive no extra pay for taking the sextenniai enumeration of voters, according to 1 ruling of Ele Stansbury, attorney general of Indiana. In an opinion submitted to Gilbert H. Hendrcn, chief examiner for the state board of accounts. Stansbury holds that the trustees are not entitled to extra compensation for the work, but that If he employs assistants the assistants shall be paid by the county. The county Is to stand the expense of tlanks and other materials. A constitutional provision and an 1865 statute provide for the enumeration of. male voters each six years. It must be dono by the township trustee or trustee and assistants between January 1 and July 1. The enumeration statistics are turned in to the county auditor and eventually to the auditor of state, to be laid before the next general assembly. The enumeration then becomes the basis on which the state la apportioned for representation in the national congress and in KEEP LOOKING Yl It's Easy If You Know Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets The secret of keeping young Is to feel young to do this you must watch your liver and bowels there's no need of having a sallow complexion dark rings under your eyes pimples a bilious look in your face dull tye3 with no sparkle.

MISS GERTRUDE DUNN. of Hull House, Chicago, and also has a thoroughly organized hospital In Bordeaux, France, that turns out trained nurses. Mrs. John I. Raymond of his reserve disappears. But when he sits down by the woman in the Eagle Hut, ho Invariably finds himself, before he knows It, telling her the long list of his troubles, and his mistakes, and his grudges everything, in fact, that he wants to "get off hia'cheat." " SHE'S 270 LECTURES, And when the boy has unburdened himself, she says a fow words. They are only a few, hut they always seem to be the right ones. The Boldler or sailor who comes in with a grouch, for which the damages to his apparel only furnish an outlet, goes out, ten to one, with a grin. If it Isn't a grin, it is a cheerful, gritty look that is even better. Mother has shaken hands with him, and almost always he has volunteered the promise to write to her, if she doesn't mind,' the first time he has a chance. This sort of thing takes place not once but a dozen times a day in the "Mother's Corner" of the hut in London. Moreover, the first time the boy has a chance he does write to Mrs. Raymond. As a consequence, not even a general gets more letters than she does from her big "sons" in France, In Russia, in Italy and the lucky ones back here at home. Her mall totals sev eral hundred letters a month. the state general assembly. Originally the county paid all expense of the enumeration, but the 1917 law fixing salaries of township trustees, 13 interpreted by the attorney general to forbid the trustees from receiving any extra compensation - for the work. The last legislature passed a resolution, introduced by Senator Ratts, which provides that the sextenniai enumeration shall be done away with. The resolution advocates taking the vote for secretary of state as the basis for congressional and legislative rep resentation. According to the town report, it cost the town of Leicester, Mass., $99.60 to catch one browntail moth last year, but Peter R. Gibbons, official moth exterminator of Clinton, says that it was worth the money. BAD TEETH OFTEN CAUSES RHEUMATISM So Says James H.

GRAVEL ROAD BONDS BELOW 4 1-2 PER CENT HOT TAXABLE INDIANAPOLIS, March ' 20. Andrew J. Smith, secretary of the Indiana Bankers' association, has issued a statement to Indiana bankers concerning the status ot municipal, state and gravel road bonds under the recently enacted state tax law. , Ho has received many inquiries from Indiana bankers as to whether state, municipal and gravel road bonds are freo from taxation under the new law.

Mr. Smith's statement, based on inquiry he made of the state tax com mission, said that state and municipal bonds are not subject to taxation under this law. Gravel road bonds that bear 4V4 per cent interest or less also are free from taxation. Indianapolis bankers also have re ceived an opinion from the Investment Bankers' Association of America to the effect that tho provision of the new federal revenue act, which requires the scheduling of Income tax returns of municipal bonds, although no return need be made of the Income from them, Is unconstitutional. The opinion waa given by the counsel of the bankers association and. In part, answers the questions raised by many Indiana bankers. According to H. P. Clipplnger, manager of the bond department of an Indianapolis trust company, there has been much objection by municipal bond holders in Indiana to this provision of the revenue law. The opinion holds that the provision Is unconstitutional both because It Is solely intended to be Inquisitorial and because It violates an implied constitutional prohibition against the power of the federal government to burden the Instrumentalities of the fctates. The bonds are burdened by the requirement of return no less than they would be by direct tax. GERMANY TALKING TAX (Br Associated Press) BERLIN, Tuesday, March 18. The preliminary drafts -of the new taxation measures are ready for early submission to the national assembly. Dtiect taxation Is the underlying feature of the forthcoming assessments, which lncludo an Inheritance tax and a general war lovy for the current year.

MCmOMD CONSTABLE SERVES A IIGILY lEflPOKTMIT MIKE W TIE PUBLIC M GEMSAL Makes Strong Appeal for Betterment ot Health, Which Hits Popular Cord and Scores Hasten to Take Advantage of Opportunity

There may be some one in the Roosier State who Is better known than Ben. N. Crump, who lives at 221 6. W. Second St., Richmond, but it Is sals to say that Mr. Crump counts his friends by the thousands. For twenty-eight years a hard worker In this city's welfare he is at present performing the duties of constable with headquarters on the second floor of a building at 6th and Main St. Mr. Crump is a strong advocate of Pepgen, now being introduced here by Clem Thlstlathwaits, the druggist In relating his experience with Pepgen Mr. Crump says: "Sometime ago I had the grippe and after I had passed the acute stages I was In a much run-down condition. The ailment left me weak. I didn't seem to be able to regain my strength. My stomach was affected for I was not able to digest my food as formerly. "One day, In a conversation with a well-known attorney, I happened to remark that I did not feel welL He told me that Pepgen was a good tonic and bulldsr. "I tried Pepgen with splendid results. It soon righted my stomach

BIG HEART INTEREST THROBS THROUGH MRS. GERTRUDE HOLSPETER'S THRILLING STORY

To suffer with nervous dyspepsia, to experience the agony this dreaded ailment causes, to realize the tenacity of its endurance when once it has taken strong hold, and then to be rid of the ailment, almost over night, it would seem, is the thrilling experience of Mrs. Gertrude Holspater, 809 North 14th St, Richmond. Mrs. Holspeter credits Pepgen with this remarkable experience. Here is her story: "I suffered with nervous dyspepsia and at times I had pains In my stomach that were almost unbearable. At such times I was compelled to go to bed and I could do nothing but roll, and toss and moan. I often thought I could not stand the misery. Many nights my mother has sat up attending me. "I discovered that rich foods made my trouble worse so I was very careful what I ate. At Thlstlethwalte's drug store on Main street they told me about Pepgen. They said they had so many good reports about the medicine that they thought It might elp me. I tried it It helped me. I have used it now several weeks and have not had a pain since I began. I am eating whatever I desire. I feel very thankful towards Pepgen. It is wonderful to me to be able to eat a hearty meal, get a good night's rest and feel strong in general." 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 tor common everyday diseases which beset mankind, debilitate both men and women, deprive them of happiness and fullness of existance 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. EVEN SIGHT OF

MADE HER SICK SAYS WOMAN WHO NOW EATS HEARTY MEALS

Mrs. Anna C. Jones, 41 North 6th 8t Richmond, says: "Oh; how thankful I am that I concluded to use Pepgen, tor now I feel well and sleep well. "Before I took Pepgen I had pains In my stomach. They seemed to move from one side of my stomach to the other and almost draw me double. Even the sight of food made me sick. "My kidneys were badly deranged, too. It was often necessary for me to get up several times during the night "Now I have a good appetite and eat three hearty meals every day. My rest is not broken at night and my kidneys are acting normal. It Is eeldom that I have to get up before morning after I go to bed. I am glad to recommend Pepgen for I think it Is a wonderful medicine." CHILDREN SHOULD BE WATCHED WITH f; VERY GREAT CARE They Require Perfect Digestion, Otherwise Delicate Tissues Are Not Nourished. One of the greatest mistakes a parent can make is to neglect looking after a child's digestion. The tissues of a child's body are very delicate. They have not acquired the powers ot endurance which older people possess. The greater portion of the food they eat is required for growth and development Together with the double strain of studying and growing, a child's digestion is taxed to the limit and parents should see that their children have prompt attention should stomach disorders occur. Pepgen has been a real help to many an anemic child because it puts blood ot good, rich, red quality into their little veins and makes them want to laugh and play, . '

and In a short time I regained former strength. I consider It a medicine of exceptional value and one that everybody should know about." This highly important message from Mr. Crump has created a big interest among Richmond citizens as Is shown by the scores who have already hastened to obtain Pepgen in order to take advantage of the opportunity this medicine offers to regain strength. To live it is necessary to have strength. Merely existing breathing, eating, sleeping, working and dragging around from place to place without any real Interest is not living. To live means to be thoroughly alive In every way to hope happily and confidently and to have faith in ones' fellow men and In one's self, to have a purpose and work constantly with joy to accomplish that purpose. People without health cannot be thoroughly alive. A part of them is not alive. It may be energy that has passed away. It may be ambition that is dead. It may be hope that is asleep. It may be that health itself from which comes energy, strength and hope is stupified. Such people' to be

a x f Mrs. Gertrude Holspster. The fact that Pepgen is sold and recommended by Clem Thistlethwaite and other first-class druggists Is in itself proof of its merit. Mr. Thistlethwaite Is a friend and advisor of everyone of his customers. He says what he thinks is the truth about medicines. "Pepgen gives universal satisfaction. I am glad to handle it because our customers realize Its worth," is his usual commendation. 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. "It is a pleasure to sell Pepgen be FOOD ALMOST! Pepgen is not a secret remedy. The formula is printed on the back of every carton. In Pepgen will be found Peppermint Leaves to stop nausea, relieve spasmodic pains in the bowels and expel gas; Gentian Root which possesses tonic properties In a high degree. Peruvian Bark which is an anti-malarial agent and is of service in wasting diseases. Also Fringe Tree Bark which exerts a special influence upon the liver. This is of benefit where there Is yellowness of the skin and eyes and a sense ot uneasiness in the right side; Black Cqhosh through its influence in the muscular system is recommended for rheumatism, lumbago and gout; Plantain Leaves contain properties valuable for kidney and bladder derangements.

RIDGE ST. GR0CERY1AN FEELS LIKE BOY AGAIN; FORGETS AGE AND JOINS CHILDREN IN PLAY

"I have actually forgotten my physical troubles since I've been taking Pepgen and am beginning to feel liks a boy again,1 says J. N. Long, proprietor of a grocery store, 1240 Ridge Street, Richmond. "Before I took Pepgen I had nervous stomach trouble. I had no appetite and nothing in the food line agreed with me. My nerves were very easily upset I didn't seem to have any patience. The noise my children made in playing seemed to go through me like a knife and I often was compelled to ask them to play somewhere else than around me. . "But now, since taking Pepgen, all is different The more noise my little tots make the better I like it It lets me know they are well and happy. My stomach don't hurt me any more. It pleases me to have a good romp with the children. "My wife is taking Pepgen, too. She Advertisement)

come thoroughly alive must coax back health and keep it. . Pepgen has helped hundreds of men and women to coax back health which they had thought lost to them forever, to coax back energy, strength, hope that is found only In people fairly bubbling over with health. Pepgen's popularity consisting of over 1,600 bottles sold right here in Richmond is explained In this statement. It has won the public endorsement and gratitude. It has aided many to be thoroughly alive with new health and strength. Pepgen coaxes health In a reasonable way. It is especially designed to cleanse while it strengthens sick, sore stomachs and thus build health through the digestive and ellmlsative organs. Just as health is the source cf energy, ambition and a sense of power that enables men and women to hope and work and win, so the digestive and eliminative organs are the source of health. Pepgen may be obtained at Tbistlethwaite's drug stores or from any. other first-class drug stores anywhere.

cause purchasers are exactly satisfield," is the remark many f them make. These druggists who so enthusiastically recommend Pepgen have a good reason for so doing. They know that Pepgen deserves to be recommended. Back ot Pepgen'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, digestion, kidneys and liver, that it has become a household medicine. Pepgen is an upbullder, appetizer, invlgorant 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 frel for the body to keep the human engine moving as it should. It has been said that Pepgen is like oil to machinery it keeps the human engine moving smoothly and efficiently. Indigestion, dyspepsia, belching and bleating 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 sleep. A maisds soreness Everybody knows the old-fashioned mustard plaster was a good thing to relieve pain, but it blistered. Mustard should bo used in the form of a liniment to get best results. Mustard liniments penetrate without much rubbing, and impart a pleasant soothing warmth to the skin without blistering. A good liniment is made of mustard, red pepper, sassafras, menthol and ammonia. Apply it to the feet upon retiring and the soreness will b5 gone in the morning. It is also a splendid external application In rheumatism, lumbago, muscular soreness, coughs, colds and pleuresy. It relieves pains and assists internal remedies to rid you of ailments. The above prescription with added ingredients, already prepared, may be obtained under the name ot Pepgen Liniment at Thlstlethwalte's drug stores or from any other first-class druggist in Richmond and nearby towns. Pepgen Liniment aids Pepgen wherever there is pain. was in a general run down condition. It has helped her. And besides she gives it to our children whenever they don't feel just right "We call Pepgen our 'family tonic and it certainly deserves a place in everybody's home." This is but one more family mads happy by the use of Pepgen. Everywhere the most prominent people are giving testimony in favor of Pepgen out of gratitude for the relief they have experienced and because they believe it their duty to do so. It Is the humanitarian spirit to help the "other fellow If yon can that is the first thought of many men and women who voluntarily tell what Pepgen has done for them. . While it la true the success of Pepgen in Richmond has been o great as to amaze business men s'Jll. It really also. Is true that Pepgen Is no more popular here than It Is in other cities where it has been introduced,
