Cars for Grain Movement
Wayne county is beginning to realize first
hand what the car shortage means. Not that its manufacturers and merchants have had no previous experience with delays in transporting finished products out of the city and of receiving raw materials. Its farmers and grain men are now up against an acutely serious situation. , Cars to transport grain from the elevator to the primary markets and the seaboard are lacking. If the shortage becomes still more acute, elevators will refuse to accept wheat, and farmers will be compelled to build granaries, store wheat in improvised granaries, and, what is of still greater menace, wait for months before they can exchange the wheat for money. Thousands of dollars, represented in the stored wheat by the labor of the farmer and the money he expended for seed, machinery and tools, interest on his investment, taxes, etc., remain out of circulation. The farmer wants the money which the crop would bring him. His ability to pay his debts and go into the market for commodities will be curtailed. And as the prosperity of the whole country depends on the financial prosperity of the farmer, all of us will be affected more or less by the shortage. The agricultural interests of the country are well aware of the situation. Their representatives will ask the interstate commerce commis
sion for 500,000 freight cars to move the grain crops from the northwestern states. One spokesman of this group left the inference that the central west and northwest have
been drained of cars, which are now on the eastern roads, held for the purpose of making short runs to assist the manufacturing interests of the eastern states and the seaboard cities. Farmers cannot be expected to keep quiet under the irksome conditions attending the crop movement. Their prosperity depends in no small measure on the movement of crops shortly after they are harvested. And those of us who belong to the two-thirds of our population that are consumers have a vital interest in the move
ment of crops also. The men who constitute onethird of our population and upon whom we depend for the production of our foodstuffs have interests that are intimately related to. our own welfare. If farmers, dissatisfied with and wearjed of the vexations of their industry, should reduce their acreage by thousands of acres and decide to produce only enough food for them
selves, with a small surplus to purchase a few of
the products we manufacture, the city dwellers will presently find themselves in identically the same condition of starvation of which the urban population of Russia is suffering now.
The peasants of that country are tilling enough acres to provide them with sustenance
and are letting the cities shift for themselves. The high death rate from starvation and the epi
demics following malnutrition in Russia describe
the consequences of that policy.
The farmers of America are not radicals.
They are not hardhearted and desirous of in
flicting suffering on others, but we cannot ex
pect them to work ten and twelve hours a day,
against our eight, and receive as the pay for their labor, ability and investment, a sum of money far less than we receive. Neither is it reasonable to ask them to lose thousands of dollars because the transportation system does not provide them with cars to move their crops in August and September.
Answers to Questions
City Reader How does the pul-
motor work? The pulmotor or lung motor, will restore the asphyxiated or drowned victim by causing natural movements of Inhalation and exhalation, at the same time giving a carefully measured supply of oxygen to the
lungs. Persons who have been un
conscious for hours have been revived
by it. It is equipped with a small rubber cap that fits snugly over the victim's mouth and nose. Then the machine is set in motion with the aid of compressed air. It fills the lungs to capacity with pure oxygen, and then automatically tips and withdraws this air and whatever poisonous gases there may be. In case of drowning It draws out the water from the lungs, and to revive a person unconscious from an electric shock starts the lungs to working normally. Flexible tubes
connect the mask and storage cylinder
of oxygen, to which are connected blowing and suction valves. All parts of the machine fit In a box which Is
smaller than the ordinary suitcase. Readers mar obtain Mowers to questions by writing: the Palladium Hnestlons and Answers department. Questions should be written plainly and briefly. Answers will be Klvea briefly.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
HERE AND THERE Every once in a while each one of us should drop his main endeavor and go out into the highways of every-day life and Just wander around, keeping his eyes and mind wide open. He should go Here and There, and Everywhere. There should be no hurry, for that would spoil it all. If it should rain all right, then to get under cover. If it is too hot then for the cool of the shade and a sleep along some bank, played to by a rippling stream. For there can be no composure of soul when one has decided to take a change for rest a'nd benefit, unless as one goes Here and There he willingly allows himself to "be as a pipe for any wind to play upon." To get the greatest benefit from a ramble out Into the Here-and-There, you must enter upon it while In a state of open mind. You must be able to catch colorings, and your brain must be able to knit its observations into things of beauty. What a thrill of pleasure at the sight of new things! A new road, a new forest, a new stream, a new town, a new hotel new folks! You get these things Here
and There. What is so wonderful as the traveled man or woman, who has absorbed, and lived? And what is so pitiful as the one who has become cramped in softl thru an absorbed existence in one spot? Keep moving around Here" and There! Pick up things of interest as you go Here and There. And multiply your own pleasure by giving it away to others. We are all magnets of beauty and worth in some degree or other. So that as we go Here and There, we should attract our kind to us and multiply its worth.

SIMEON'S MUTER HELPS FATHER SAVE WOUNDED AT FAMOUS BATTLE
Mrs. Mattie Wheat Tells Interesting Story
SHOOK LIKE A LEAF
Incidents of Civil War Days Helped to Break Health of Woman, Whose Sufferings Lasted for Fifteen Years, and Whose Nerves Were Finally Restored to Normal by Pepgen, the Compound Now Being Introduced by Clem Thlstlethwaite and Other First-Class Druggists.
RICHMOND MAN GAINS 30 POUNDS W. A. Sims says, "It's Great to Feel Like I Do Now."
"I am the daughter of Dr. J. G. Mc
Pheeters, 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 bat-1 ties," says Mrs. Mattie Wheat. 228 N. i Alabama St., Indianapolis. "I assisted my father in caring for the wounded as a nurse in the hos-! pital. The terribleness of it all shat-i tered 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 injuries. For two years I was in bed helpless. 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 with a spell of 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 myselt get
ting stronger day by day. At first I nntinoA that mv nnnftitf 3S pnfid and I
that I could eat a hearty meal without a spell of indigestion afterwards. Gas did not form on my stomach. My heart ceased toound. My dizzy spells became less frequent until finally they passed away. Now Feels Fine. "Yes, Pepgen is a great tonic, and now I am feeling fine. I am even washing out small articles something I have not been able to do before in
years. My sleep is like that of a tired i
school girl. I have perfect control ot my nerves. My back doesn't pain me and my liver is in good condition. "People say my face is filling out, and I know they are telling the truth, because I have gained Just ten pounds
from the day I started to take Pepgen. j "Being a surgeon's daughter and ! from my experience as a nurse, I am i
well enough acquainted with medicine to know that the Pepgen formula is a splendid one, and from my personal experience, I certainly recommend it highly to those who suffer as I once did." Mrs. Wheat's Interesting story is but an echo from the multitudes of tales that are told in Richmond every day about this great tonic. Those who wish to learn more of Pepgen may do so at any first-class drug store anywhere. Advertisement.
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 Btouter. Mr. Sims is very enthusiastic about Pepgen as he declares It is the medicine that relieved him of his ills. "Any person who sees me at 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 for Pepgen," says Mr. Sims. - "For almost two years 1 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."
PURE CASCARA IS A 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 aggravated 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." Pepgen Laxative Tablets are especially suitable for nursing mothers, for
people with delicate stomachs and for'
children where great care must be exercised in selecting a laxative. They are pleasant to take eat them like candy. One tablet should be taken night and morning, gradually discontinuing their use as the action of the bowels becomes normal. 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.

17TH ST. WOMAN WIELDS A BROOM WITH NEW FORCE 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 Thistlethwaite and other leading druggists here has helped housewives. Pepgen is a tonic which promotes strength through the - stomach, blood and nerves. Continuing, Mrs. Whitacre says: "Before I took Pepgen I was troubled n-uv, HWTir cnpiis -which were no doubt
due to indigestion and general weak
ness. Sometimes I woum siagger imc I was blind. Spots seemed to float before my eyes. "My nerves were in a terrible condition rnnc:pmiPTltlv. I couldn't Sleep
soundly at night. I was easily irri
tated. "i nn-ar u-ant tn sav that I can eat
anything I desire without having indigestion. I am so much stronger that housework 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." Advertisement. FIRMLY BELIEVES LARGE APPETITE IS
COSTLY, BUT PAYS Hearty Eater Better Off Than Dyspeptic, Says Mrs. Delia Simpson.
MRS. MILLER IS AIDED BY FIRST DOSE OF PEPGEN
Of course 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 helped them. Mrs. August Miller, 28 Ft, Wayne Ave., Richmond, says, "The very first dose of Pepgen helped me of Indigestion. 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. "After taking Pepgen regularly' for several days I felt better In almost every way. I can eat heartily and my stomach does not bother me afterwards. It Is a fine tonic and not unpleasant to take. I like the appetizing flavor." The human stomach should be thought of only when it suggests the need of food. To millions of people the stomach Is 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 shrink from the easiests tasks of life and are entirely unfit to graple 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. Advertisement.
The high cost of living is a serious problem to most people these days. The hearty eater is compelled to pay 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 such 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 bitterfluids that almost nauseated me. I grew slender and weak.
"In a short time after I began tak-
ing Pepgen my appetite increased. Not only that but I was able to eat what I wanted without being distressed afterward. 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 bills 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 dyspeptic." 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,
"PEPGEN HELPED MY SON," SAYS 5TH ST. WOMAN
"After the manner in which Pepgen helped my son I would be ungrateful if I didn't recommend it," says Mrs. Lydia-Stonecipher, 117 S. W. 5th St., Richmond. "My 6on was in a general rundown 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 product advertised has absolutely no competition and "makes good" to the last word. But do you think advertising 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 invigorant. . It reaches, with its reconstructive qualities, those ills of the stomach, liver and kidneys and catarrhal affections of the mucous membranes, that are the common maladies of the day the strength sapping, lethargy- creating ailments that "get youinerve" whether you be merchant, or artisan, employer or employe, man or woman.

HAD ODD HABIT -ATE PIE FIRST
It is said that one of the great European statesmen always eats Jiis 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 will 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 weakens the walls of the organ until the muscles are stretched and they of-i ten remain stretched. Muscular contraction becomes paralysed, which is a dangerous condition, and then comes stomach upheaval, resulting In bloating, sourness, pains, shortness of breath, palpitation of the heart, nervousness and. headaches. Pepgen is now offered to dyspeptics. It is their hope. Pepgen relieves indigestion. As soon as Pepgen reaches the stomach the gastric juices get busy and begin the process of digestion. Pepgen Is a wonderful tonic. It has a delicate, appetizing, sassafras flavor. i Advertisement.
