WELL KNOWN Fl. WORTH BUSINESS MAN IS
 GIVEN SURPRISE
Mir. Custer Says, T Never Used a Tonic in My Life That Gave Such Satisfactory Results as Pep
 Systemic Pills"

MT. James F. Custer, proprietor of the Custer Printing Co.,, 906 E. Weath- erford St., Fort Worth. has the follow ing to say about Pep Systemic Pills:
 "Noticing in the the papers that Renfro had a new iron tonic called Pep Mills, made up my mind that would try one bottle of Pep Pills and wish to say that l have received fine results from that one bottle. l never used any proprietary medicine in my life that has given such satisfactory results and in such short time, as Pep Pills. Another thing I like about them is that they are easy to take and do not leave any disagreeable after effects like some preparations.
 "My stomach trouble has left me en- ! tirely and I have a fine appetite and can now eat almost anything. l am feeling stronger and better. now than have for long time. heartily rec ommend Pep Pills to any one and be. lieve they are all that are claimed for them. I might add that have gained five pounds in weight, too.
 "I have taken a number of tonics uOIlc tuCHi oCCaitCo cO ouAo AHy case. as they never seemed to do much good. My blood has been in bad shape for several years, and I have tried many old-fashioned blood tonics to re. gain strength, but have never noticed any real benefit before taking these pills. But now I feel also like a diff 1 ferent person and am glad to give Pep Pills the credit..' ,I
 The above is only one of the many strong testimonials being received daily. Pep Pills will help you, too, ii you are bothered from such troubles as constipation, nervousness, stomach troubles, boils, sleeplessness, loss ot appetite, dizziness or any other such ailments that are caused by impure blood, lazy liver of generally run down system.
 They are sold by Berbig's drug store and at many other druggists. Try a bottle today. ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTE FOR THESE PILLS.--Advt.

GERMANY GAINS
 IN DEMOCRACY

Berlin, Nov. 30.--lntellectual bar riers which separate Germany from "other democratic peoples of the world" gradually must disappear, as- serts Theador Wolff in the Tageblatt because Germany has approached a political system of parliamentary governed states. The aim of demo- cratic peace," he continues, must be to prevent tae erection of any politi- cal barriers or the perputation of such as may be the outgrowth of had red. Will the peace cry coming from St. Petersburg ba heard everywhere Will America. too, realize that in Ger. many the will of the people is power. full enough to create new order of things and that an enlightened state, craft no longer is automatically op. posing it?"
