Milton, Ind,

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. A bulletin devoted to retail food prices in March of this year, compared with those prevailing In March, 1918, and covering 22 staple articles, states that there was an average advance in costs of 13 per cent, the country over. These are Washington figures, and though belated are still of interest, because March prices, or even higher ones, still prevail on a number of these items. These price statistics, gathered in all the large cities of the country principally, but partly in small interior towns and cities, show that rib roast was 25 per cent; sirloin and round steak 24 per cent; chuck roast 22 per cent, and plate beef 21 per cent higher this year than in March, 1913, when the war was raging, and we were sending men, munitions and

food across to vessel capacity. Coffee, too, was up 24 per cent and butter 20 per cent on the same date, while California prunes were 27 per cent dearer. Bread Is said to have been 7 per cent cheaper this year and navy beans down 31 per cent, owing to let up in demand for beans by our soldiers. An average increase of 13 per cent in the price of 22 food staples, months after the fighting was over, doesn't seem in accordance with the supposedly natural trend. Impossible to analyze or to give all the reasons for thiR condition, but of this we may be

The Rich Also Economize As to the highest class of family trade mentioned, war time limitation and self-denial has doubtless had an effect which still persists. The feeding of a retinue of servants costs a lot of money, at best, and if only the

choicest cuts of meat are served, the expense will be largely increased. It is not to be expected that the consumption of beef and lamb will be nearly so great at the high figures so long prevailing. It is noticeable, too, that the demand for the cheaper cuts has so greatly added to their

"I am the daughter of Dr. J. O. McPheeters, a prominent surgeon during the Civil War. My father was with the Thirty-third Indiana Regiment and served under General Steadman at Crabb Orchard, Ky., and other battles," says Mrs. Mattie Wheat. 228 N. Alabama st., Indianapolis. "I assisted my father la caring for the wounded as a nurse in the hos

pital. The terribleness of It all shattered my nervous system. I did not realize at the time, but as each year passed the effect became more noticeable. I am now past three score years and ten. "About six years ago I fell down cellar, dislocating my hip and one of my ribs and sustaining other Injur

ies. For two years I was in bed neipless. This aggravated my nervous condition greatly and I have been wretched ever since. My sufferings

resulted in badly deranged kidneys, an inactive liver and poor digestion. Lived on Liquid Diet, "When I was again able to be up, my food soured on my stomach. Solid foods were especially indigestible to me, and, therefore. I practically lived on a. liquid diet. My heart would palpitate and then would come dizzy spells, at which times I could

scarcely stand on my feet and often had to catch on to something to keep

from falling. "My nerves were so 'edgy' that I shivered and shook like a leaf. I had to pin my sleeves to my dress to keep my arms still. I have had to gasp for breath and often felt as if I

was going to die witn a spen or indigestion. "I lost weight until I became so thin that I looked like a shadow. I could hardly straighten up my back on account of my kidney ills. "At a time when I was feeling extremely bad a friend of mine asked me to try Pepgen. I didn't have much faith in it, but my friend recommended it so highly that I finally decided to try It. "Shortly after I began to take Pepgen a wonderful change came over me. I could almost feel myself getting stronger day by day. At first I noticed that my appetite was good

W. A- Sims. 15 North 12th St.. Richmond, a machinist with the Ludwlg Machine Co., is being congratulated by all his friends who tell him he Is the picture of health since he has grown stouter. Mr. Sims la very enthusiastic about Pepgen as he declares It Is the medicine that relieved him of his Ills. "Any person who sees me eat would scarcely believe that several months ago I suffered severely with dyspepsia. I honestly believe that I would still be suffering If It hadn't been fdr Pepgen," says Mr. Sims. "For almost two years I never ate one single meal In comfort. I was always either sick at my stomach or else I would bloat until I was miserable. Sometimes I had heartburn and then again headaches. "One day I told a friend about my health and he recommended that I try Pepgen which I did. My friend gave me the right advice for Pepgen relieved me more than anything I ever took. "I have now taken Pepgen for several months. I don't have a sign of stomach trouble and I am thirty pounds heavier than the day I started to take this wonderful medicine."

17TH. ST. WOMAN

WIELDS A BROOM WITH NEW FORCE

MRS. MILLER IS AIDED BY FIRST DOSE OF PEPGEN

Of coarse the first dose of Pepgen will not overcome a severe and aggravated case of nervous dyspepsia but many people have testified that the first dose relieved them. Mrs. August MilUer, 28 Ft. Wayne Ave., Richmond, says, "The very first dose of Pepgen helped me of Indiges

tion, I had eaten some roast meat and it had soured on my stomach. In half an hour after I took Pepgen I felt

all right. "I have now taken Pepgen regularly for several days and I feel better In almost every way. I can eat heart ily and my stomach does not bother me afterwards. It Is a tine tonle and not unpleasant to take. I like the sassafras flavor." The human stomach should be thought of only when it suggests the need of food. To millions of people the stomach la a source of mental as well as physical distress. Chronic stomach trouble preys upon the mind

as well as deranging the kidneys and liver. Nervous dyspeptics Bhrlnk from the easiest tasks In life and are entirely unfit to grapple with the harder ones.

They go through life shackled to Imaginary fears and failure Is their doom.

Has your stomach been a failure or a success? The stomach Is one of the deep secrets of success. Pepgen is a stomach tonic supreme. It Is delicately adapted to the needs of the stomach that Is ailing. It perfects digestion, purifies the blood, tones up the nervous system, builds up the health and strength of slender, weak, nervous, run-down men and women.

Mrs. Emma Whitacre, 506 N. 17th St., Richmond, Is wielding her broom with greater force these days, because as she says "Housework doesn't worry me In the least since I took Pepgen.' This is another instance where the

new medicine now being introduced by Clem Thlstlethwalte and other leading druggists here has helped housewives. Pepgen is a tonic which promotes strength through the stomach, blood and nerves. Continuing Mrs. Wniteacre says: "Before I took Pepgen I was troubled with dizzy spells which were no doubt due to Indigestion and general weakness. Sometimes I would stagger like I was blind. Spots seemed to float be

fore my eyes. My nerves were in a terrible condition, consequently I couldn't sleep soundly at night. I was easily irritated. "I now want to say that I can eat anything I desire without having Indigestion. I am so much stronger that house work does not tire me as it formerly did. "It is a great relief to be rid of dizzy

spells and I credit Pepgen for helping me."

"After the manner la which Pepgen helped my son I would he ungrateful if I didn't recommend it," says Mrs. Lydia Stonecipher, 117 S. W. Bth St.. Richmond. "My son was In a general run-down condition. His stomach and nerves were out of order. He complained of headaches. "I gave him Pepgen and now I am glad to say that he is much Improved." The production of Pepgen now Is unbeaten. Stop and think. Of course, it pays

to advertise pays tremendously when the prdduct advertised has absolutely no competition and "makes good" to the last word. But do you think adrertising alone would create such a monster demand for any article as Pepgen has? Don't you agree that merit so extraordinary as to stamp Pepgen as absolutely unique In its powers to "make good" Is necessary to make such a record ? Pepgen Is a tissue builder, appetizer and inyigorant.

Peruvian bark, used in the manufacture of quinine and of Pepgen, is one of the greatest stomach and liver medicines ever discovered, especially when it is prepared by the Pepgen Kon-Alcoholic Process. But Peruvian bark Is not the only

ingredient thus treated to compound Pepgen. There Is Gentaln root,

which aids and Invigorates digestion; Fringe tree bark, which exerts an influence upon the liver not found in any other plant. This is valuable where there is yellowness of the skin and eyes and a sense of uneasiness in the right side. Black Cohosh, widely

known because of Its effect upon the muscular system, which is the reason it relieves rheumatism, lumbago and gout. Plantain leaves, which operate upon the nerves, soothing and quieting them and inducing healthy, refreshing sleep, is one of the most

common of herbs. It grows In almost everybody's back yard and makes Its appearance In the early spring. )Yet few there are who know Its value as a medicine. Toothache la relieved by lt-

big to satisfy his appetite but he is

much better off than the nervous dyspeptic who unwillingly saves money at the expense of his physical strength. A large appetite may be expensive but there is nothing that brings Buch tremendous dividends. Nobody knows the absolute correctness of this statement any better than Mrs. Delia Simpson, 1203 Boyer St. Richmond, who, having been relieved of stomach trouble by Pepgen, gives it the stamp of her approval. "I think I had all the miseries that a disordered stomach is capable of causing," says Mrs. Simpson. I didn't eat very much and even what little I did eat caused gas to form. Often I

belched up hot bitter fluids that almost nauseated me. I grew slender and weak. "In a short time after I began taking Pepgen my appetite Increased. Not only that but I was able to eat what I wanted without being distress

ed afterwards. I know that food is high priced now but it certainly pays to be able to eat what you want and relish your meals. "The grocery hills are higher but I

do not care as long as I feel like I do. Of course, being able to eat heartily is what made me stronger, but If It hadn't been for Pepgen I know I should still be a nervous dyspectic." It is necessary for every person to

keep the organs of digestion and assimilation In good health. The constitution demands a variety of foods. Those who take Pepgen say they can eat anything without discomfort. It has relieved scores of cases of headache, constipation, indigestion, dyspepsia, catarrh, sluggish liver and kidney ailments, because It Induces good digestion and assimilation.

Men and women, who need better digestions, more strength and a toning up of the nervous system will do well to take Pepgen. (Advertisement)

HAD ODD HABIT, ATE PIE FIRST

It is said that one of the great European statesmen always eats his pie first. Why does this statesman reverse a world-wide custom? Why does he satisfy the taste of his "sweettooth" first? No doubt he follows this rule to avoid the danger of over-loading his stomach. The average human stomach wCl hold about one quart of food. How many people bear this In mind and give their stomachs the attention that is justly due them? It is safe to say that not more than one in every ten persons eats to live; the balance live

to eat.

Crowding the human stomach with food distends and weakeaa tha walls of the organ until the muscles are stretched and they often remain stretched. Muscular contraction becomes paralyzed, which is a dangerous condition, and then cornea stomach upheavei. resulting ia bloating, sourness, pains, shortness of breath, palpitation of the heart, nervoosneas and headaches. Pepgen now Is ottered to dyspeptlos.

It Is their hope. Pepgen relieves Indigestion. As soon as Pepgen reaches the stomach the gastric Juices get busy and begin the process at iUges tlon. Pepgen Is a wonderful tonic. It has a delieate, appetising sassafras flavor. : "
