SAYS my HEADACHES HAVE STOPPED AND
THE PAINS in MY BACK ARE GONE now

past nine years has resided at 1907

disorders and nervousness. now rec.

81 surely can and do recommend
Pepgen to all my friends" Mrs. Nc
Kissick declares. l talk it up all the
time and am very enthusiastic, too,
because l believe 1t is a marvellous
thing for the stomach and nerves.
For, several years l suffered with
my stomach Almost everything ate

form and burning feeling in the pit
of my stomach.
II became so nervous that my rest
was often disturbed. I spent many
sleepless nights and got out of bed
feeling tired and worn out. just had
to whip my body into action.
During the last few months l have
had severe headaches and pains across
my back.

haven't had headache for several
weeks and those pains in the small Of
my back are now gone. That tired,
achey, draggy feeling has entirely left
me and l really enjoy my housework."
Mrs. McKissick has lived in Muncie
for twelve years. Her husband is en-
ployed at the Bath-Paris Dry Goods
Store.
The human stomach should only be
thought of when it suggests the need
of food. To millions of people the
stomach is the source of mental as
well as physical distress. Chronic
stomach trouble preys upon the mind
as well as deranging the kidneys, the
liver, the heart and other organs.
Especially is this true in cases Of
stomach trouble that affects the nerv-
es.
Pepgen is stomach tonic supreme,
for the stomach that is ailing. 1t as
sists digestion, purifies and enriches
the blood, tones up the nervous sys-
tenn, builds up the health and strength
Of thin, weak, nervous rundown men
and women.

FACTORIES DEMAND
GREAT EFFICIENCY
Rigid Physical Examinations Of Ap-

Efficiency has become a watchword
in modern industry. Labor-saving de
vices and accident preventions are
only a few among the many ideas
that have been advocated by the eff
cheney expert, who has become an i'm.

But the most effective OF these new
features is the physical examinations
of applicants for positions. To be
really efficient workman first of all,

expect to measure up to these re.
Quirements.

DRUG PRICES To
Remain HIGH

CHICAGO. Dec. "a downward
swing in drug prices as result of
peace is so remote as to be classed
an impossibility by leading dealers in
the industry. They not. only predict
that present prices will continue for
from six to nine months. but that even
then establishments will be slow and
largely contingent upon the available
ity of cargo space to and from Euro
pean ports and upon possible accu-
mutations OF crude drug stocks at the
source OF supply
Big dealers declare that while stocks
in hand are high priced, they are also
narrow and CONSTRUCTED in many indi-
vidual items.
Exactly what is awaiting the drug
industry is largely a matter of con-

The Appeal of the Social Service Bureau


The public is urged to heed the appeal of the
Social Service Bureau for discarded clothing,
shoes and bed linen and coverings Of all kinds to
DE given to the poor of the city.
Charity begins at home, says an old proverb.
Richmond has been generous in its response to
appeals for the alienation of suffering abroad
and will continue to give generously for these
purposes. Suffering and want at home must not
be overlooked, however. Cold weather bites into
the flesh as sharply in Richmond as in foreign
countries and the pangs of hunger are felt just
as keenly.
The Social Service Bureau is asking for a
bountiful supply of the articles enumerated in
the foregoing paragraph. Citizens will only be
exercising Christian charity by giving the articles
that are superfluous. Hundreds of pieces of
clothing and bed supplies lying idle in attics
and closets. They are useless there. They will
be put to their intended use if they are offered
to the Social Service Bureau.
