WILL MATE BE POPULAR DRINK

"AFTER JULY 1? South American Beverage is Harmless and Has "Kick," Says Sanborn. By WILLIAM R. SANBORN The man who discovers or invents a beverage that becomes the vogue, and so genuinely good that it will be entitled to be known as the "American National Drink,' will be on his way to fortune. He will also make many others rich, in all parts of the country. "We said "discovers or invents," for the reason that the coming temperance beverage may have already been centuries in use in another part of the world. If the drink referred to is as good as it is claimed, no one can blame the people of Paraguay and other South American countries for liking it. At any rate, there will be a general tendency to "try it out" when once prohibition holds national sway, and indeed earlier if the people are ever given a chance. After a tryout it will stand or fall on its merits Coffee, tea, the cocoa bean and yerba mate are the only four plants or shrubs known to contain caffeine, and each in a differing degree. The tea plant is properly a shrub, and the cultivated coffee cherry seldom attains a height of twelve feet, because it is trimmed to a suitable height for handy picking. We are all familiar with the cocoa bean, but many are not aware that cocoa and chocolate contain caffeine, but they do. South American Yerba Mate. What is known in this country as Paraguay tea is the dried leaf of a s man tree which grows in Paraguay and Brazil, and from which natives of ; many South American countries brew a refreshing drink. The tree is now cultivated on a large scale and there is no limit to the"mate" these countries can produce if they find a market for the leaf. It is said, however, that they were already selling about 117,000,000 worth of the leaf in South America, annually, before the war broke loose, and had at that time just introduced an extract of mate into Germany. This "Yermate" was designed to be added to seltzer or carbonated waters, and when so used the beverage is similar in color to beer, either light or dark, according to the quantity of extract used. It may be well to state, however, that it is only in the color that it resembles beer. It is entirely non-intoxicating, does not taste like beer, and yet it has a bracing and exhilarating effect not obtained in the same degree from the caffeine in any of oar beverages. A recent writer on the subject says: "Mate is said to be harmless, but after the third cup you feel strangely tempted to talk of confidential subjects, to think of the pasC tr dream of the future." This refers to the use of mate as a tea, the form t in which it had been used by the native Indians of Brazil and Paraguay for unknown years before their discovery by the Spanish and Portuguese in the sixteenth century. "Europeans who have settled in the the various South American countries." writes Harold Jewell, "have adopted mate largely on account of its valuable qualities in hot and depressing seasons, and as a preventative of hunger and fatigue." Admittedly, it is for those very same reasons that coffee, tea and cocoa are drunk. Both tea and cocoa have been j standard rations of British soldiers and sailors, and more liberally so in tropic seas and countries, for many years. v How Mate Differs. In its chemical composition mate in some respects is very similar to tea and coffee, but it contains much less tannin than coffee, and "considerably less caffene or alkaloid than either tea or coffee. Coffee contains cafeol, a strong essential oil, of which there is barely a trace in mate. But should mate be introduced Into this country, as it very probably will be, we shall find it to differ in this respect from all our soft drinks. For some reason yet unknown to chemists, mate produces an exhilaration similar to that of beer, but without anyi of the after effects observed from the use nf various alcoholic beverages. As a stimulant and also as a refreshing beverage much may be said for mate if it possesses all the virtues claimed for it. Among the claims made for mate is that it possesses peculiar effi ciency in the cure of alcoholism, which is important if true, particularly at this time when the nation is going dry Mate has been selling at 12 to 15 cents per pound at South American ports, and a little of it seems to go a long ways. For instance it is said that by using but one teaspoonful per cup one can get six or eight cups of the infusion from the original spoonful. After being infused for four or five minutes the decoction can be drunk and another infusion made from the same leaves, and so on for a number of times. s Mate has an agreeable flavor, we are told, and about twenty millions of South Americans drink it, even largely in the coffee countries. But the na- . tives of all coffee countries are great coffee drinkers, and where mate is used it takes the place in the home of "the social aspects of our own afterLEMON JUICE FOR FRECKLES Girls!

The manufacturer of soda syrups and flavors must be in clover just now; so, too, the pop maker. The latter has a little the best of the argument as to the war tax and his product still retails at the familiar nickel price, as always. True, some places charge six cents per bottle for soda pop, because six cents is the price of plain sodas, etc., at drug fountains and because well, people expect to pay an extra penny for all drinks while the war tax on fountain mixtures, sundaes, ice cream, etc., remains in effect. But regardless of price all dry territory Is flooded with more varieties of soft drinks than ever before in our history. And what a surprising menu of ice cream combinations, with nuts, fruits and flavors is now offered us. The fanciest bar drink that the most expert mixer could produce used to cost considerably less than the prices now charged in the better class ice cream and candy parlors for those flavory mixtures of a summer day. Perhaps our South American friends will add another new drink to our superabundant variety. If it has the harmless, revivifying "kick" herein mentioned, and the beverage is as de scribed, it is likely to have a wide sale in this country, at least in the form of an extract or syrup, and possibly even as a tea in its natural leaf state.

She wants to rub a magic lamp and have all her dreams come true, too. And what do you think her dream is? To join the army. "I guess It's a bug with me," she said yesterday, as she told about her letter to "The University in Khaki." O, yes;1 that letter. It hasn't been told as yet. She wrote it Saturday and asked whether she, too, might not take ad vantage of Uuncle Sam's offer of an education, even though she was but a woman. "You see," she said, "I've always wanted to get into the army and I couldn't. I wanted to do something when we went to war, but my brother went and then my sister went into the Red Cross ambulance service, and I had to stay home and look after mother. Now they are back and, well, to tell the truth, I didn't really think I could get in, but I did think I could point out that I couldn't and make them think a little bit.

Why can't they let me be one and release a perfectly good man for fighting service?" "It seems like a dream the offer they make men of an education and pay for getting in. It is too good to be true. Just like Aladdin and his lamp. "But it is all for men. Men get everything. I wish I was one." Here is the letter she wrote to the "university": ' "I have just read a placard in a Clark street car about the 'University in Khaki. Although the card does not designate it, reason tells me that this wonderful offer is for America's young men. I'm not one of those lucky chaps, but just because nature, played a trick on me must I be eyminated from Uncle Sam's generosity? "I was one of those obliged to stay at home that the others might go, and now the way Is clear if only an opportunity would present itself. You are offering such a splendi dopportunity to be educated in Uncle Sam's university to see the world. "I have had a high school and business college education, with five years' practical business experience, and in my letters of recommendation, you will find the words, 'competent,' 'reliable, 'trustworthy, 'dependable,' 'level-headed, and 'a good worker. You could use a man with a backing like that. May I not hope that you will find room for a girl with these qualifications?" POISON LIKE UNTO Vernon of Snakes Professor H. Strauss, M. D.; of the Royal Charity Hospital, says, "The cause for an attack of gout, rheumatism, lumbago, is supplied by the increase of uric acid in the blood serum, the result of various causes, the most frequent of which is renal. Before an attack, one suffers sometimes from headache, neuralgia, twinges of pain here and there." When your kidneys feel jlike lumps of lead, when the back hurts, or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; when you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach; or you have rheumatic pains or lumbago, gout, sciatica when the weather is bad, do not neglect the warning, but try simple means. Take six or eight glasses of water during the day, then obtain at your nearest drug store 'An-uric' (anti-uric acid). This is the discovery of Dr. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. "Anuric" is an antidote for this uric acid poisoning and dissolves uric acid in the body much as hot coffee dissolves sugar. "Anuric" will penetrate into the joints and muscles, and dissolve the poisonous accumulations. It will stamp out toxins. Send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Bufftlo, N.

South 10th St Woman Ate Only Enough to Keep Bird Alive Pepgen Brings fine Appetite. Mrs. Mary Dickey, 204 South 10th St., Richmond, Is among scores who have recently received great benefits from Pepgen. Mrs. Dickey says: "For several months my health was far below normal. I ate scarcely enough to keep a bird alive. My stomach bothered me. I was also very nervous and hardly a day passed that I didn't have a severe headache. "Thanks to Pepgen I am much im proved. My appetite is splendid and I do not have a stuffy, bloated feeling after eating. Nor have I been trou bled with headaches as I formerly was. I sleep better, too. "Pepgen has been a wonderful help and therefore I am glad to recommend it. I advise every woman who doesn't feel exactly right to try Pepgen." Many women are compelled to lie down at frequent intervals during the day. This is due to weakness and is a forerunner of more serious ills to follow. Faintness, dizziness, sinking feelings in the pit of the stomach are first observed. The digestion becomes im paired and the appetite poor. Then comes palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath, cold hands and feet, headaches, paleness and dark circles undeh the eyes. Finally the memory becomes poor, the disposition ir ritable. Pepgen has been the means of re lieving thousands of women of these distressing symptoms.. Those who wish to learn more about it may do so at Thistlethwaite's drug stores or from any other leading drug gist. ENJOYS HOUSEWORK SINCE PEPGEN GAVE HER SOUND NERVES MRS. MAY HULL "A chance cold in the head caused me a great deal of suffering," says Mrs. May Hull, 923 Sixth Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa. "I generally got out of bed in the morning with a bad taste in my mouth and dizzy headaches. I had no appetite for breakfast. I was ucivuua aiiu c vci j imiig Beeuieu lu upSet me. At times I had to ask my chrraren to play outside. I could not stand the noise they made. "Since taking Pepgen my improvement has been wonderful. My head is as clear as a bell. I have a fine appetite and am not troubled with headaches. We have a ten-room house and I feel so much stronger that my house work is mere play, where before it I seemed as if I could never get through. I reel that I cannot praise Pepgen too highly." Pepgen is composed of oils and juices of a vast number of leaves. roots and barks, each recognized for its value in treating stomach, liver and nerve diseases. Thousands recom mend it.

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: Mrs. Harry Harmeyer, 415 Main St., says: "Since taking Pepgen I have no more nervous dyspepsia." W. M. 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 a year without having indigestion. 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. Alsop, 14 South 18th St.: "There has been a great change in my wife's appearance. She has been taking Pepgen." W. S. Tittle. 309 North 7th St, foreman Panhandle freight depot, says: "Pepgen put my stomach in first class condition."

ALL KNIGHTSTOWN

IS TALKING ABOUT THE CALT CASE Albert r.alt KnlRhtstown, well known in Richmond as the "Hominy Man'" because of the deliciousness of his product, recently called at Clem Thistlethwaite's drug store ana ioui the following story: "Yes. all mv friends in Knightstown are talking about my case and the wonderful relief that Pepgen gave me. I never expected to be a well man, but thanks to Pepgen I feel splendid. "I had to be very careful what I ate before taking Pepgen as my stomach would rejain only light foods. When I ate anything that disagreed with me I would have indigestion so bad mat i would often spit up blood. "I heard others tell about the good qualities of Pepgen, and so, several months ago, I secured a bottle and be gan taking the medicine. "Anybody who saw me before I took Pepgen and sees me now could easily tell that it helped me. Friends say I look like a different person. Not a Secret Medicine. Pepgen is not a secret remedy. The formula is printed on the back or ev ery package. It contains only reme dies of approved and recognized mer it. All of the ingredients are carefully selected and scientifically compound ed 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 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, impoverished blood and feeble recuperative powers are often relieved by its use. 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. Plaintain Leaves contain properties valuable in kidneys and bladder derangements. 11th ST. MAN IS RELIEVED Mrs. Allinder Tells How Pepgen Helped Brother of Rheumatism. It is not claimed that Pepgen is a "cure-alf" but years of experience have had a tremendous influence in the making of a compound which tones the general system and by its strength giving properties assists Nature to eliminate many diseases. Its effects in rheumatism are well told by Mrs. Allinder, 610 South 11th St., Richmond, who saw it work in her brother's case. She says, "My brother suffered with muscular rheumatism In his back. There were times when he could hardly move. He tried medicine after medicine to get relief. Sometimes he would get a little better but if he caught a slight cold or the weather changed suddenly his trouble would come right back on him. "Several weeks ago he started using Pepgen which he obtained at Thistlethwaite's drug store and it is easy for any person to see how it has helped him. It has given him more relief than anything he ever used before. My brother is a great deal more active. I haven't heard him say a word about his rheumatism lately. "I have started to take Pepgen myself."

Mrs. E. J. Gilliland, 512 North 20th St., says: "Almost the first dose helped my husband's stomach." 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 my husband's stomach, but drove away sick headaches." A. C. Thomas, 27 South' Ninth St., declares it a good tonic. It built him up. Earl Williams, city fireman hose house No. 4 6ays: "Pepgen relieved me of gas and bloating." Mrs. George Parry, 419 N. 20th St., says: "Since taking Pepgen I have no more burning feelings in my stomach." Mrs. Sarah H. Haworth, 725 S. W. "A" St, says: "I am so much stronger I scarcely realize my strength." Miss Ruby C. Wushanpt, stenographer. Pilot Motor Co., recommends Pepgen for nervousness. Ben N. Crump, constable, 221 S. W. 2nd St., says: "Pepgen is a great tonic." Mrs. Anna C. Jones, 41 South 6th St. : "Kidneys better since taking Pepgen." (Advertisement)

CAKE AND PIE

BIT SP0TN0W Richmond Woman is Pleased at Greater Variation in Foods She Can Eat "Cake and pie hit the spot now,"," says Miss Maggie Deyo, 1223 N. 13th Street, Richmond. Miss Deyo says this since she has been taking Pepgen, the great stomach, liver and nerve tonic. Before she took Pepgen she was almost afraid of rich foods. "I suffered so long with my stomach and my system was in such a weakened condition that I was on the verge of a breakdown," declares Miss Deyo. "When the influenza epidemic struck Richmond I was attacked by the disease and ever since that time I have been annoyed by neuralgia. "I want to say that Pepgen built me right up. It helped me in a general way. Pepgen did me worlds of good and I am glad to recommend it." When a boiler carries more steam than is necessary it is under too big a strain and is weakened. When the body is overtaxed by excessive work, it is quickly broken down. There are many people who need some sort of a tonic to take care of this extra strain. The most natural remedy would be a stopping for needed rest and refreshment. However, the stress of our labors, the cares and the duties of the household, the constant attention demanded of the far mer by his fields and stock do not admit of rest. To restore the body In the natural way, by rest, would often spell financial ruin, so the average man and woman just "keeps on going." The tissues of the body become weakened, the stomach revolts, the liver fails to do its work and then follow dyspepsia, dizziness, heartburn, headaches and later come rheumatic pains and catarrhal symptoms. The most reasonable, rational method of restoring health, when weakness first appears is by the "Tonic Route." A tonic builds, refreshes and rejuvenates. Pepgen has been proclaimed by hundreds as the most valuable of all tonics. Pepgen is especially Intended for nervous, run-aown men ana women who have poor digestions and who cannot sleep soundly. It promotes strength and energy for work. DOCTOR SAYS "PEPGEN HELPED ME AND ALSO NUMBER OF PATIENTS" Dr. John Adams. Dr. John Adams, 506 E. Fifth St., Dayton, Ohio, who was formerly professor of Chemistry at the Cincinnati, Ohio, College of Medicine & Surgery, who has practiced medicine forty-two years, and who is one of the best informed physicians in America, says of Pepgen: "I tried Pepgen because I have been overworked. Recent epidemics have kept me, like other physicians, going night and day. I needed something to build up my nerves and strengthen my general system. Another doctor recommended that I try Pepgen which I accordingly did. In a short time I felt stronger in every way. I was so pleased with the results of Pepgen that I prescribed it to a number of my patients suffering with stomach, liver and kidney affections. In each and every case the results were entirely satisfactory. One young man who had been suffering severely with colic, caused by fermentation of food, until at times he was almost drawn double.

told me that he had not had a single return attack after the second day I started him on Pepgen. "In my opinion Pepgen is the best general tonic I ever used, and I anT" glad to endorse it." f Pepgen is composed of oils and juices of a vast number of leaves, roots and barks each recognized for its value in treating stomach, liver and nerve diseases. Thousands recommend it.

PURE CASCARA FINE LAXATIVE 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. Senna Leaves are another popular, home remedy for constipation, but like cascara, they will not answer the problem where the ailment is of long 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 chemist's skill but you can purchase them already mixed under the name of "Pepgen Laxative Tablets." at Thistlethwaite's or any other first-class drug stores. It Is a good idea to take . Pepgen Laxative Tablets at the same time you take Pepgen Tonic. The laxative tablets keep the bowels open while' the tonic acts as a stomachic and strength builder.
