WELL KNOWN FORT WORTH BUSINESS MAN
 IS GIVEN SURPRISE
Mr. Custer Says. "I Never Used q 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 fol- lowing to say about Pep Systemic Pills:
 Noticing in the papers that Rem fro had new iron tonic called Pep Pills, I made up my mind that l would try one bottle. l have taken only one bottle of Pep Pills and wish to say that l have received fine re- suits from that one bottle. I nevc: used any proprietary medicine in my life that has given such satisfactory results and in short time, as Pep Pills. Another thing ] liked about them is that they are easy to take and do not leave any 03a%recable after-effects like some preparations.
 My stomach trouble '4aS left me entirely and I have a line appetite and can now eat almost anything. l am feeling stronger and better now than have for long tiine heartily recommend Pep Pills to anyone and believe they are all that are claimed for them. I might add that 1 have gained five pounds in weight, t0o.
 Il have taken number of tonics, but none of them seemed to suit my case, as they never seemed 10 do much good. My blood has been in bad shape for several years, and I have tried many oldfashioned blood tonics to regain my stren2th, but have never noticed any real benefit before taking these pills. But now feel also like different person and am glad to give Pep Pills the credit"
 The above is only one of the many strong testimonials being reccivel daily.

MARIETTA TO CELEBRATE

Marietta, Ohio., April 5,-Marietta, the oldest city in Ohio, is a mass of gay colors and is ready for the great event in her history, for tomorrow will be inaugurated a two-day cele- bration in honor of the 13Oth anniver- saary of her settlement.

FOREIGN TRADE SESSION.

Cincinnati, O., April 5.--Cincinnati is to be the scene two weeks hence of the assemblage of many of the most distinguished figures in the political and industrial life of the nation. The occasion of the gathering will be the fifth national foreign trade convention under the auspices of the National Foreign Trade Council. Applications for accomodations received by the 10 cal hotels indicate that the attend ance is likely to exceed the early eX- pectations The fourth convention, held at Pittsburg in January of last year, had a registered attendance of more than 1900 delegates, represent ing all sections of the country. 1t is confidently expected that despite war condtons and the demand of war work upon those who are interested n for egn trade, the attendanc at the coming convention will be even larger than at Pittsburg.
 The part of foreign trade in winning the war will furnish the central theme of the convention. The sessions will continue three days. Approximately one-half of the time will be given to the presentation of pjrepared papers and reports dealing with one or anoth- CT of the numerous phases of the gen. eral theme. The remainder will be de voted to group sessions for the inten- sive discussion of single problems un- der the leadership of speciality quali- fled experts.
 James A, Farrell, president of the United States Steel Corporation, is chairman of the National Foreign Trade Council and will preside over the general sessions of the convention. A leading feature of the convention program will be banquet at which prominent speakers will include Pres ident Farrell, Governor Cox, of Ohio, Frank A. Vanderlip, the eminent New York financier, and Edward N. Hurley chairman of the United States Ship ping Board.

CLERICAL ERROR
 SAVES SMUGGLER

Shankhai, February 5.-A clerical error in drafting a United States stat ute prohibiting importation by Ameri- cans of opium into China recently sav- ed self-confessed smuggler from serving jail sentence, in addition to paying a $500 fine imposed by the United States Court for China.
 The case grew out of a record dis covery of more than four tons of opium at Shanghai. Alphonse Maire Tracy Woodward who claims Ameri- can citizenship was indicted for the at tempted fraud and, upon being brought to trial, pleaded guilty. He is believed to be the agent of bi opera tors in England and China.
 In passing judgment, Judge Lobn- gier, of the United States court here pointed out that the United States statute provided only for imposition of a fine for importing opium altho the wording indicated that the omis- sion of provision for imprisonment was due to q clerical error.
 Woodward was fined $500 and costs, the maximum penalty under the law.

Despite the nature of some of the results along the western front, Field Marshal Haig should be credited With honest and truthful war reports. He does not fear to announce what ap- pears to be reverse. In other words, he docs not claim to be win ming when he is not, which is more than some generals we have known of could ever get away from dolng. As a consequence, when Haig reports
 he is winnlng, nobody doubts the truth of the statement for an instant.

The dispatches frequently refer to "machine gun nests,' which gives the home folks shudder. For nest ot Instruments that shoot 600 shots a minute is nothing to sneeze at. How can infantry capture such nests, IS
 what the home folks ask and they hope that the boys dearest to them will never be asked to try. Yet such canturcd by infantry-but only with tremendous slaughter British nests of machine guns have repeatedly held back the Germans in the recent hSht- ing, and where they have been forced to give ground it has been only after terrific losses were inflicted upon tho foe. There is nothing in war that kills on such a wholesale scale as machine gun nest. -W. $.
