PAGE SEVEN ITALIANS, REBUILDING j YAR STRICKEN AREAS, ' SHOW RAPID RECOVERY

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IJMD., W n; JJNESD A Y , DEC.H5, 1920.

(By Associated Press)ROME, Dec. 15, The American ambassador, Robert Underwood Johnson, who has 'returned from a visit to the Piave, Isonzo and Asiago sectors of the Italian war front, including much of the devastated region, declares that the Italians are progressing well in; their efforts to make these war areas' again fit for habitation. .j "I doubt whether any other region ( of the war would make a better show-j ing of recuperation,' 'said Mr. John-i son to The Associated Press corre-; Fporident. j "In April I saw the devastated regions of France from Chateau Thierryto Rheims, an awful sight which may; be commended to those who are will-, ing to take the risk of another great war. Save for a few barracks and; isolated pieces of repair little Jiad been done to rebuild. Replace Dwellings. j "Today in the midst of equal de-,

vastation, there- is hardly a town in Italy in which 20 percent of the houses have not been renewed or repaired for occunanev. and the nronortion is us

ually from 50 to 65 percent. The refu-1 gees, most of them still living In the

povernment barracks, are hard at work. New houses on handsome Italian models are going up every week. The second story may have been destroyed, but if the first has walls it is

roofed and made habitable for tbej time. ! "The courage and resourcefulness of war-time was not greater than is that I of peace, and both call for the admira-! tion of the world. This needs to bej accentuated because Italy has had so, much to contend with, first in the fail-; ure of this year's crops of wheat and : corn: next, from the cloudbursts and j floods : and. third from the disturbing industrial conditions. Fortunately.! the season has been good for building and every man in Friule "seems to ' have become a carpenter or mason, j Still, this region, with all the aid to reconstruction that the government J can give, faces a winter of hardship, and severe cold. i The machinery for silk and rotton manufacture was .all carried off by the Austrians.

EVERY WORD WAS FROM THE BOTTOM OF HIS HEART

Richmond Citizen Very Earnest in His Praise of the Great Herbal Tonic, Dreco, Which Has Done So Much for Him.

Pain in Back, Rheumatism,

Nerves Shot to Pieces,

Couldn't Sleep, Limbs Stiff and Muscles Sore Now Well as Ever.

"One day I read about what a man said about Dreco taking a load off his back which felt like a ton of brick and I laughed at it but I now know that every word he said came from the bottom of his heart," declared Mr. H. E. Fleck, who is a car inspector and lives at 2006 N. F St., Richmond, Ind. , "I want to tell everyone what Dreco has done for me. I was so bent from suffering I was afraid I would be per

manently deformed, as the rheumatism 1

had such a hold on me. My back and limbs were sore and stiff; muscles were drawn and the joints seemed to be dry; my nerves were shot to pieces so that I could not sleep; I had shooting pains in my back and side. Really 1 was in back shape but Droco has certainly proven a blessing to me as I know more relief from pain now than in years; 1 can bend about and stoop over without the slightest pain; sleep sound at night; getting stronger day by day. I strongly advise sufferers to try Dreco and they won't be disappointed." No medicine introduced here has sprung into such favor as Dreco. Hardly a day passes but what some person drops in and tells of the excellent results Dreco has prdouced for them. It cleanses the system of impurities, increases the appetite and sends new energy bounding through every nerve; it restores the kidneys to healthy action and makes the sluggish liver waken; relieves indigestion, gastritis and constipation: quiets the nerves and promotes sound, refreshing sleep. It acts on the blood ami banishes catarrh and rheumatism from the system. All good druggists now sell Dreco and it is highly recommended in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite's seven d rug stores.

When in last Friday's paper we announced to the people that we, as pioneer price-makers, were going to make a new low level of prices and that we were marking down every article with the blue pencil at reductions of from thirty to sixty percent, we felt that the people of Wayne county would quickly grasp an opportunity to buy standard, advertised brands of goods at the new low level of prices. We wish to thank the people of Richmond and Wayne county for the generous way in which they have responded to this sale and to say that we . feel amply repaid for our loss of immediate profits by the1 immense amount of

good will which this sale has built up for us. We have decided to continue'1 this sale through the holiday season and furnish an opportunity to buy practical, useful Christmas gifts at the Blue Pencil prices. Every item in our store has been marked down with the Blue Pencil. Look for the Blue Pencil mark. Cost price has absolutely been forgotten in this great sale. We are sell ing overalls that cost us as high as $1.87 for 98c. We are trying to do our bit in getting prices back to normal. Remember, we are not offering shoddy goods, but standard, advertised brands, and that in all cases we guarantee satisfaction or money cheerfully refunded.
