one of the greatest stomach rem ,dies
ever discovered. especially when 1t Is
prepared by the Pepgen Non-Alcholic
Process.
But Peruvian Bark is not the only
ingredient thus treated to compound
Pepgen. There is Gentian Root which
aids and invigorates digestion; Fringe
Tree Bark which exerts an influence
upon the liver not found in any other
plant. This is valuable where there
is yellowness Of the skin. There is
also black cohosh widely known be-

There is no alcohol. wine or spirits

DISTRICT MISSIONARY MEET
ING OF METHODIST CHURCH

The Woman's Missionary Society
of the Marietta District held its an
nual meeting in Smprna June 26th
and 9th, with Mrs. J. r. Deavours,
the district secretary presiding.
Nearly all the societies throughout
the district were we'll represented
and gave encouraging reports.
Marietta was very much in evil
dence, about thirteen ladies going
down for the day, among these were
Miss Ava Welsh, delegate from the
adult society, Miss Myrtle Dobbs of
the Young Peoples, and Mrs. W. B.
Handy, Mrs. J. B. Irwin represent
ing The Juniors, of which they are
the "Lady Managers"
Thursday morning was given to
the reports from the different socie-
ties, Marietta having the best report,
lacking only one point of making
100 per cent, which deficiency they
intend to correct before another an
nual report. Mrs. Emmett Brogdon,
of Atlanta, a wonderfully gifted
speaker, brought out many points of
interest along the different lines of
work.
After noon devotional conduct
ed by Mrs. jefferson, of Capitol View
church, Atlanta, the delegates and
visitors were invited to a most de-
1ightful luncheon served at the Ma
sonic Hall, which everyone enjoyed
to the fullest.
The afternoon session was given
over to the young peoples work and
an address by Mrs. R. P. STRIPPING, of
Atlanta, first vice-president of the
w. M. S., of the North Georgia Con-
ference, which was very helpful and
instructive.
The reports from the Y. P. S. over
the district showed an increase in
nearly all of their activities. Ma
rietta Young Peoples Society re-
port given by Miss Myrtle Dobbs
showed that much had been accom-
plished in the past year.

The Prohibition Law is Not
Unjust to the Poor Man

DR.. Russell H. Conwell, a noted
lecturer of Philadelphia, in sermon
delivered in the strongest terms the
injustice of the poor mans beer be-
ing taken from him while the rich
have their cellars filed with all sorts
of wine and liquors for many months
and perhaps many years to come.
This kind of an argument does not
appeal to US. Any law that will save
the poor man from a life of drunken
ness and from wasting his hard
earned money in riotous living ought
to be welcomed by him, though the
rich, because of their money, are
able to evade the law and debauch
their bodies, minds and morals. II
the rich, by means of their money,
are able to live in such way as to
bring ruin upon themselves and their
descendants, the law does the poor
man no injustice when it keeps him
from bringing the same dire distress
upon himself and family.

THE PHILIPPINES NOT BAD
IN AN EDUCATIONAL WAY

Seventy per cent of the inhabitants
of the Philippines over ten yetrs old
are literate, as shown by the 1918
census, according to a cable just re-
ceived by the War Department from
Vice-Governor Yeater at Manila.
Of the estimated population of
1O,5OO,OOO, 100000 are civilized
Christians, while 100000 represents
the non-Christians or so-called wild
tribes. The latter, however, are in
cluded in the population of which
70 per cent are literate.
The percentage of literacy in the
Philippines, as shown by the census
just completed, is almost as high as
that of some of the southern states
of the union, higher than that of
Greece, Italy, Portugal, Roumania
and Servia. 1t is also higher than
that of any of the new countries
whose independence is being recog-
nized by the allies.
It is pointed out there is every
reason for the literacy Of the Phil
ippines to be still higher within the
next few years, through the action
of the Philippine legislature at its
last session in voting 100000 Pc
SOS to extend the educational system
so that schools will be available to
every child and youth in the Philip
pines.
Between 1912 and 1918 the total
number Of children in school in
creased from 100000 to $4,000, a
gain of 81 per cent in six years. The
number Of intermediate pupils grew
to $1,000, a gain of 100 per cent.
The number of high school students
reached 10000, gain Of 220 per
cent.
The Philippine legislature, COM
posed entirely of Filipinos, now sup
ports 4,700 schools, with teaching
force of 12,3O3 teachers. All instruc-
ton is in English, and will continue
to be if independence is granted.
A large number of additional Ameri-
can teachers are to be employed and
sent to the Philippines within the
next year. All of the expense of ed
ucation is being paid by the Philip
pine government.

Lime ON THE SOIL
FOR CROP INCREASE
BY T. E. KEITT, Chemist

The use of lime applied to the soils
to increase crop production dates
Blackjack to ancient history. The IL
mutations of its influences have been
fully determined. While calcium is
one of the ten elements essential to
plant growth, yet almost all soils have
surplus for this purpose, and acid
phosphate carries large amount of
lime in addition to its PHOSPHORUS
content.
Every few years some one or more
persons start lime boom and, as
rule, the writer believes with no ul-
terror motives. In these booms all
discretion as to where lining is need
ed is lost sight of, and the recommen-
dation becomes promiscuous. 1t has
been reduced to the following terse
summary: Lime, legumes, livestock,
and prosperity. Many things were
long ago written into agricultural
texts that have been handed down or
copied down from book to book-the
WIlGSIo frustrating W Jackie CHS large
and conflicting experimental data on
these subjects. Lime is one of these
problems, and let us suggest that it's
differing effects on different soils and
to different crops may account for
the conflicting data.
Reading from field plats rather
than from books, the writer concludes
that it is impracticable and unneces-
sary to lime generally in the cot
ton belt of the South Eastern part
of the United States. There are GER
tain crops and certain soils that are
improved by lining. Very acid soils,
particularly of the Portsmouth series,
should be lined when drained; soils
of the Piedmont section that have
been puddled by wet blowing are i'm
proved physically by applications of
ctustic lime, the same results can be
accomplished by heavy application
