All rights of republication of special dispattTies herein are also reserved. Municipal Economy and a : Low Tax Rate The relation between municipal expenses and the tax rate is a direct one. As the expenditures ;f the city increase more money to pay the bills must be raised. This can be done only in two ways. First, by direct' and . indirect taxation; secondly, by the floating of bonds. But no matter how the money is raised to pay the city's expenses, the taxpayer foots the bill. He has no vicarious substitute. -, - y When the tax rate of a city has reached a high figure, and it is against public policy to increase the bonded indebtedness of a municipality, good business judgment dictates one word economy. Richmond's municipal expenditures are so

great now that economy must be applied in all'

addition to the burden will be a positive deterrent to the. development of the community, commercially and industrially. Interest rates on bonds are too high to justify an issue unless it is of paramount importance to the safety and prosperity of the city. A review of the tax situation, presented yesterday in the news columns of the Palladium, shows precisely how vital is the adoption of a policy of economical expenditures in city affairs. Richmond might make many improvements that would redound to its welfare, but the city council, in view of the strained condition of the treasury, should approve only the most necessary ones. This program, even if rigidly adhered to, will not hamper the city's growth. In fact, a judi

cious curtailment of expenses would be a posi-' tive selling point. Manufacturers and business men no longer expect to be bribed byxa bonus to establish industries in a city. The era of industrial expansion by the way of the bonus and subsidy system has passed. Shrewd and careful business men are not looking for bonuses, but are scanning the tax rates, inquiring about utility rates and studying housing facilities to obtain decisive data for the location of their industrial plants. A high tax rate and excessive charges for power and light will drive away more prospective plants than a $1,000,000 industrial fund can attract. Manufacturers know that tax rates habitually increase instead of decrease. They are skeptical about cities in which a tax rate does not provide" enough money to cover the appropriations which extravagant authorities vxte heed-, lessly and needlessly. A city administration that spends money, raised by taxation, wisely and in pursuance of a definite plan of city development, is an asset to the community itself and an outstanding feature which manufacturers are quick to note. Business men are impressed by the business judg-

Answers to Questions

. i J. N. How can you render glue Insoluble In water? To render glue insoluble in water, hot or cold, add a few crystals of bichromatic of potash to the water with which the glue is being dissolved for use. After a part has been glued expose it to the light. For most purposes about one-fiftieth bichromatic of the amount of glue used will be sufficient. Therefore, glue containing potasium bichromate becomes insoluble when exposed to light and allowed to harden thoroughly. Another method of making waterproof glue is to soak ordinary glue in cold water until it softens and remove it before it has lost its primitive form, that is, before it runs into a mass, which is the test of the right degree of the absorption of water. After this dissolve it in linseed oil over a slow fire until it comes to the consistency of jelly. This glue can be used for joining any kind of material and in addition to strength and hardness, it has the advantage of resisting the action of water. G. S.

Rooms are crowded to capacity. The accumulation of many years of neglect has precipitated a crisis, which only heroic methods can remedy. It would be false economy and poor business judgment to prevent the school board from carrying out improvements. Good schools are an essential necessity of community life. The board must be provided with ample funds to enable it to rehabilitate the system.

LADIES! DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR

Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to graadmother's lime. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on 'that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wondet ful effect.

But brewing at home Is mussy and i out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at i any drug store for a bottle of "Vyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you J will get this famous old preparation, j improved by the addition of other in-1 gredients, which can be depended up-i on to restore natural color and beauty) to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist pays it darkens the hair so naturally j and evenly that nobody can tell it has i been applied. You simply dampen a j sponge or soft brush with it and draw i this through your hair, taking one j small strand at a time. By morning i

the gray hair all disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. Advertisement.

ANOTHER RICHMOND MM SAYS "WONDERFUL BOW MY KIDNEYS WERE RELIEVED BY PEPGEN"

Stationary Fireman of the Penn. Ry. Enthusiastic About New Medicine

MANY HERE INDORSE You do not have to take the word of any one person that Pepgen is a good medicine if you are troubled with stomach, kidney or liver ills. Scores of people right here in Richmond have indorsed Pepgen people who are grateful for the relief it has brought them. "If I had a dozen tongues I do not believe I could begin to tell near all of the good that Pepgen did me," says W. H. Crump, stationary fireman at the Pennsylvania Ry. yards, who lives at 408 North 16th street, Richmond. "It is simply wonderful how it helped me," continues Mr. Crump. "At the time I started to take this most remarkable medicine I was suffering from deranged kidneys. My back ached me at times until I thought I couldn't bear the pains. In the mornings, when I got up, I would often have to sit on the ede;e of my bed for several minutes before I could move. Pepgen straightened me out. "It also helped my stomach. It gave me a good appetite. Ever since I have been taking Pepgen all my food agrees with me. No more sour, bitter tastes in my mouth. I can't praise Pepgen enough. I am so glad that I have found a remedy that gives me relief." If you don't feel right tiy Pepgen. Pepgen may be obtained at any firstclass drug Jore anywhere.

"GAVE ME GOOD APPETITE," HE SAYS OF TONIC

L. Street, of this City,, Does Not Hesitate to Indorse Pepgen

One of the greatest pleasures in life is to sit down to a well cooked meal and be able to enjoy it. In this

j respect the rich man has no advanj tage over the poor man. True, he ; may have a greater variety of foods ; but if his digestion is not good, he j cannot relish the foods his riches enj able him to obtain. Many a poor man J is richer.with good digestion than the j most bloated bond holder, with nervi ous dyspepsia.

F. L. Street, 630 North 10th St, Richmond, says: "Pepgen gave me a good appetite," and what Mr. Street says, hundreds of persons with sorely afflicted stomachs, would like to say. If your stomach is upset and your food sours causing a bloated, uncomfortable feeling after meals. If you have no appetite and everything that is set before you looks and tastes the same. If you eat your meals in a me-

I chanical sort of way. If you never

get real, downright hungry it would be well for you to imitate Mr. Street's example and take Pepgen. Scores say it has given them good appetites, made them stronger and feel better in every way.

CHILDREN SHOULD BE WATCHED WITH 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 of endurance which older people possess. The greater portion of the food they eat Is required for growth and development. Together with the double strain f studying and growing, a child's digestion is taxed to the limit and parents should see that their children have prompt attention should stomach, dis

orders occur.

Pepgen has been a real help to many an anemic child because it puts blood of good, rich, red quality Into their little veins and makes them want to laugh and play. Pepgen may be obtained at any first-class drug store anywhere.

THIS RICHMOND MAN RELATES HOW PEPGEN HELPED HIS WIFE OF SEfERE STOMACH TROUBLE

Says Time Was When She Scarcely Ate Enourjh to Keep Bird Alive.

HAS GOOD APPETITE NOW

The large number of people who are taking Pepgen is now a matter of record at the Thistlethwaite drug stores in this city. The sincere and emphatic endorsements add each day to its ever increasing popularity as a stomach, kidney and liver tonic. A. L. Alsop, 14 South 18th Street, Richmond, says: "Will I recommend Pepgen? Yes, and gladly. While I have never taken Pepgen myself, my wife has taken it and it has helped her. It strengthened her nerves and made her feel good. I shall soon begin taking it myself as I need a good tonic to make me stronger. "My wife is very enthusiastic about Pepgen but she doesn't have to tell me how it helped her. I can notice it already in her appearance. She seems so much more cheerful and does not complain about being tired. It does me good to see her eat and she apparently relishes every mouthful of her food. Before she took Pepgen she scarcely ate enough to keep a bird alive. She looked pale and tired. "Anybody who saw my wife some time ago and sees her today would notice a great change for the better in her appearance." Pepgen may be obtained at any first-class drug store anywhere.

MRS. JONES OF MUNCIE STATES NERVES AIDED

Woman Was So Nervous Could Not Sleep Soundly

"I would be ungrateful if I didn't speak a good word for Pepgen," says Mrs. Mary Jones, 216 Wysor street, Muncie, Ind. "Before I started to take Pepgen I had pains after every meal caused by my food fermenting and turning to gas. It was a heavy burning feeling. And then my heart would flutter until at times I thought it would jump out of my mouth. "My appetite was almost a stranger, consequently, my vitality was simply wasting away. I felt tired and was very weak. I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep soundly. I dreaded to see nights come because I would have to roll and toss until long after midnight before I could go to sleep. "Pepgen relieved me. It seems almost unbelievable to me that I am now eating corn bread, raw onions, and cucumbers. I go to bed and go to sleep right away. "My son, William V. Jones, told me about Pepgen. That's how I came to try it because it had helped him."

100 BETTER AND HE GIVES PEPGEN CREDIT

Muncie Man is Now Proud Owner of a Perfect Stomach

"I suffered with nervous indigestion before I took Pepgen until I was almost frantic," says Paul Wolf. 61 4 H South Walnut street. Muncie, who works for the Indiana Bridge company of that city. "My food soured in my stomach and made me extremely nervous. Naturally, this broke up my rest and I felt tired and draggy when morning came. "But since taking Pepgen I actually feel just 100 per cent better in every way. In the first place my digestion is splendid. I don't have one bit of

trouble with my stomach and in the second place my nerves are stronger. "When I go to bed I sleep like a tired school boy and get up in the morning feeling rested and stronger. My work doesn't tire me as it usually did. "Now I know what Pepgen will do for the stomach and nerves. I know what it did for me and that is the reason I am glad to recommend it to other people."

RICHMOND WOMM DESCRIBES RELIEF HER HUSBAND SECURED AFTER STARTING ON PEPGEN

Kidneys and Back Are Better; His Stomach is Now About Normal

CONTINUES TO IMPROVE

"If my husband continues to improve in the future as much as he has in the past while taking Pepgen. I feel safe In saying that it will not be a great while before he is a perfectly well man." says Mrs. Thomas Rogers, 931 North 12th St., Richmond. "When my husband started to take Pepgen his back hurt him. This probably came from disordered kidneys. His stomach also went back on him and he complained of his food souring. He grew so weak that he was not able to go to work. "Since taking Pepgen his back is in better condition and from the way he eats his stomach is about normal. His food agrees with him. Yes, Pepgen has been a decided help to him and I do not hesitate to recommend it." Pepgen increases stomach action and quiets the nerves. It cleanses the blood. It encourages the kidneys and liver and the absence of. alcohol or sugar makes it a safe remedy lor people with kidney ills to try. Wherever there is pain Pepgen Liniment made from mustard, sassafras, red pepper, menthol and ammonia should be used in connection with Pepgen tonic. It penetrates but does not blister. Pepgen may be obtained at any first-class drug store anywhere.

GOES TO WORK AFTER LAY OFF OF 4 WEEKS

Glad To Say That Pepgen Put Him Back on His Feet

HUSBAND TELLS WIFE SHE HAS PRETTY CHEEKS Now Mrs. McGill Tells Women How She Cleared Her Complexion.

That Terre Haute people are being benefited by Pepgen as well as people here and in other parts of Indiana is shown by a glance of what that city's residents say. Among those who have recently testified is Mrs. Carrie Sumner, who tells how the great tonic helped her husband: "My husband had been sick for four weeks," says Mrs. Sumner, 28 Oakland Avenue, Terre Haute. He was troubled with his kidneys. He was compelled to be up and down the biggest part of the night. His back pained him so terribly that he was not able to go to work. "Then he started to taking Pepgen. He soon grew so much better that he was able to go back to his work as driver for the Model Ice Cream Co. "While he is not entirely well I am sure that it will only be a short time until he feels like himself again. "We are glad to recommend Pepgen and we honestly believe that it will help others who are troubled." Weak, nervous run-down men and

women may learn more of Pep gen at j and first-class drug store in Richmond and nearby towns. J (Advertisement)

"Yes, ray husband tells me that my cheeks are getting rosy," says Mrs. Minnie McGill, 1023 North 14th Street. Terre Haute. "The truth of the matter is that I am now able to enjoy a hearty meal for the first time in months and that has made a great change in my appearance. I give the credit to Pepgen for my appetite. "Before I took it I had pains in my stomach. My nerves felt like they were giving away and I could hardly keep from fainting. But I am now eating meats, potatoes and onions without having indigestion. Cabbage was something that always upset me. I could taste it for days and now I can eat cabbage, too. Doesn't hurt me in the least. "I only wish I could personally recommend the medicine to all of my friends." Pepgen increases stomach action and quiets the nerves. It cleanses the blood. It encourages the kidneys and liver. If you are pale, slender and weak the rapid building powers of Pepgen will surprise you.
