PEAK IN EXPORTS MAY REDUCE COST OF TARLE SUPPLIES
By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. The fact that our exports of food have doubled within the Dast five
years, and have undoubtedly passed their peak In volume and value, should now have a material effect In reducing prices here at. home. No Buch effect has yet been felt and the public is wondering when table supplies will cost less money. To tell the truth, nobody knows. Not a single canner, packer, wholesaler or retailer seems to be losing any sleep in an effort to reduce prices, and certainly not profits. Every one talks pcarclty, expensive labor and transportation, big demand and money to burn. No one is poor; everybody wants the best, only the best, and plenty of It. That is the song of the merchant "Why figure the costs T Buy what you want, pay our prices and look pleasant 'tis the proper thing to do."
But is It? We trow not. There is a jumping off place, somewhere. Many are becoming of frugal mind. They are asking questions. Many are "going without" among those who can afford
the price; and the poor are ever with,
us, and these must deny themselves. Albeit the wages of poverty, today, would have been affluence Ave years ago. No Break In Prices. Prices have wended their upward way, regardless of efforts to check them, although sugar prices- were kept in check for a time by government purchases and war time regulation. This might have still been true, had the administration acted when It had the situation In hand. Sugar producers are storing their undreampt of wealth In casks. Cuba Is now the most prosperous nation on the planet,
with Its sugar and tobacco, the latter
the finest on earth. Canned Fruit and Vegetables.
That there v will he a demand for
every article In tin and glass again
this season, and for all dried fruits, at
good prices, to evident. The cost of raw material, of all kinds of contain
ers, the tugh cost and scarcity of labor,
are all factors tending to not merely maintain but to Increase the expense
of packing. Growers have demanded
more money this year, $15 to $20 per
per ton for tomatoes, for instance, ana
peas up to $60 per ton, with corn prices' yet to he heard from. But what

The Bureau of Statistics at Washington in its Survey for June shows that food prices had advanced 9 per cent
this year, up to June 15, at retail, 2
per cent of this being added from May 15 to June 15. In the face of this ad
vance at retail the figures given show
that foods at wholesale had actually declined nearly 3 per cent during the
same 30 days. This seemingly puts
the onus on the retailer, which, in most cases would be Just, but in others not. He may have his shelves loaded
at higher cost than June prices, after
the break. Price of String Beans. Most anything can happen in a free
for-all price race. Take a local instance the prices of green beans and cabbage in Richmond a week ago. One Main street store was selling string beans at 15 cents per pound, a street stand offered them at 10 cents, while
down at the bottom of Main street
cents was the prevailing price, and at the city market, the same price, we
are told. Cabbage sold at 12 cents
pound in some stores, at 10 cents in
others and at 5 cents in one or two
instances, for exactly the same quality
Centerville asked 10 cents a pound on
that same afternoon. In the meanwhile the backyard gardener has been having string beans and cabbage galore, with beans to can and to epare for his friends.

H008IERS TO JUDGE HOGS i LAFAYETTE, Ihd.. July 23. Three Indiana hog breeders will take a prominent part in the affairs at the national swine show, which will be held at Des Moines. Ia., in October, according
to word received at Purdue university.
Fred Moore, of Rochester, of the Chester White Breeders' association, will
act as superintendent of the show and
Arthur Tomson of Wabash county.
president of the farmers' association there and widely known as a breeder
and Judge of hogs, will Judge the
same breed. John 11. nock or Kemp-

MAY RETAIN VETERANS. That the postoffice department officials will consider recommendations of postmasters for the retention in service of employees of retirement age who are capable of service and willing to remain In the service, is indicated In an order by Postmaster-General A. S, Burleson.
Wednesday. Indications are that we
have seen the retail top on sugar, but
that is by no means a certainty. Refiners are holding their prices up, $22
and $22.60 being seaboard costs In car lots, for standard granulated, but the
cheapening of raw stock should soon have effect. We are now importing a
great deal of "finished" sugar from
various countries, our high prices be
ing tempting to the rest of the world
who can spare us this necessity. An
other wonderful crop is being grown in Cuba, and our own crop promises to be the largest on record. The whole world is attempting to increase its
sugar output.
Coffee Is Declining. Number 7 Rios and No. 4 Santos coffees have been declining for some
ttme. These are the two great specula
tive grades on the New York Coffee exchange. Spot coffee 7 is selling at between 12 and 13 cents, and Santos 4 at 18 to 20 cents per pound in 132
pound bags, as imported. All the
mild" coffees of South America and
the Islands are also lower in price.
The shortage of the Brazilian crop, and !
the exactions and manipulations of .
that government, have been largely responsible for recent high prices. Be- j sides, coffee is one of the favored articles in profit making, to offset the close handling of "staples."
The Staff of Life. Present export bids for wheat at the seaboard are: For August delivery, $2.96; for September, $2.93. and for October, $2.85 to $2.88, all at Gulf ports. The feeling is that Europe will need a liberal supply of our grain and that there is no cheap wheat in sight in this crop. In addition, should black rust materially injure the spring wheat a bulge in prices will naturally follow. France will harvest almost enough wheat for its needs ; Roumanla has a good export crop, and India a comfortable surplus. Taking the world as a whole, however, and in view of the special needs of Great Britain, it is felt that every bushel brobably will be in demand.

When the open road begs for the throttle and when the crossing cop gives you the "come-on" signal, you'll always find Stiver Flash there with the kick. It's the kind of gas that teases you to step on the accelerator and cheat the speed law just a little. Though it turns a lot of tricks, there's nothing mysterious about Silver Flash. It's just good, pure, straight run, high test gasoline that thousands of Hoosier motorists have found super-efficient and exceptionally economical. The car starts easily and picks up quickly when the tank is filled with Silver Flash.

RELISHES 3 GOOD MEALSJER DAY South 10th St Woman Ate Only Enough to Keep Bird Alive Pepgen Brings Fine Appetite.
ALL KNIGHTSTOWN IS TALKING ABOUT THE CALT CASE
CAKE AND PIE HIT SPOT NOW
Albert Calt, Knlghtstown, well known In Richmond as the "Hominy Man" because of the deliciousness ot his product, recently called at Clem Thistlethwalte's drug store and told the following story: "Yes, all my friends In Knlghtstown
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 retain only light foods. When I ate anything that disagreed with me I would have Indigestion so bad that 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
began taking the medicine. "Anybody who saw me before I took Pepgen and sees me now could easily tell that it helped me. Friends Bay I look like a different person." To be charitable toward your neighbors brings its own reward. It not
only helps others, but gives a happy satisfaction to ourselves. Charity does not mean the giving of money alone.

Richmond Woman Is Pleased at Greater Variation in Foods She Can Eat.
Mrs. Mary Dickey, 204 South 10th
St., Richmond, Is among scores who have recently received great benefits from Pepgen. Mrs. Dickey says: "For saveral 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 Improved. My appetite Is splendid and I do not have a stuffy, bloated feeling after eating. Nor have I been troubled
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 impaired and the appetite poor. Then comes palpitation of the heart,

"Cake and pie hit the spot now," ( says Miss Maggie Deyo, 1223 N. 13th i 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 team than is necessary it is under too big a strain and is weakened. When the body is overtaxed by excessive work. It is qulokly 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 need- , ed rest and refreshment. However,
the stress of our labors, the cares and the duties of the household, the constant attention demanded of the farmer 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 an' 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 dyspep

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 fim 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, 6ays: "Pepgen put my stomach In first class condition."
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 berause I have been overworked. RfCf-nt ppMemics have kept me. like other physicians, going night and day. I needed something to build up my nerves and strengthfn 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 wa; sr pleased with the results of Pepgon 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 am glad to endorse it." 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.
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

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. Wushaupt, stenographer, Pilot Motor Co., recommends Pepgen for nervousness. Ben N. Crump, constable. 221 S.

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 any first-class drug store. 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.
