II suffered with nervous dyspepsia
and at times had pains In my stom-
ach that were almost unbearable. At
such times was compelled to go to
bed and / could do nothing but roll,
and toss and moan. l often thought I
could not stand the misery. Many
nights my mother has sat up attend
ing me.
II discovered that rich foods made
my trouble worse 80 I was very care
full what I ate. At Thistlethwaite's
drug store on Main street they told
me about Pepgen. They said they
had so many good reports about the
medicine that they thought 1t might
help me. l tried 1t. It helped me.
/ have used 1t now several weeks
and have not had q pain since be-
gan I am eating whatever / desire
/ feel very thankful towards Pepgen
1t is wonderful to me to be able to
eat a hearty meal, get good nights

Trustees Get No Extra Pay
For Enumerating Voters

Wayne county trustees will receive
no extra pay for taking the sextenniai
enumeration of voters, according to y
ruling OF Ele Stansbury, attorney gem
eral OF Indiana. In an opinion sub
mitted to Gilbert II. Hendren, chief
examiner for the state board Of ac-
counts Stansbury holds that the trus-
tees are not entitled to extra COM
pensation for the work, but that if
he employs assistants the assistants
shall be paid by the county. The
county Is to stand the expense of
blanks and other materials.
A constitutional provision and an
1865 statute provide for the enumera-
ton Of male voters each six years. 1t
must be done by the township trus-
tee or trustee and assistants between
January ] and July /. The enumera-
ton statistics are turned in to the
county auditor and eventually to the
auditor of state, to be laid before the
next general assembly. The enumer
alton then becomes the basis on which

CHILDREN SHOULD
BE WATCHED WITH
T.. VERY GREAT CARE
They Require Perfect Digestion,
Otherwise Delicate Tissues Are
Not NourIshed.

One Of the greatest mistakes par.
ent can make is to neglect looking aft
er a child's digestion.
The tissues of child's body are
very delicate. They have not acquired
the powers Of endurance which older
people possess. The greater portion
of the food they eat is required for
growth and development.
Together with the double strain Of
studying and growing. a child's diges-
ton Is taxed to the limit and parents
should see that their children have
prompt attention should stomach dis
orders occur.
Pepgen has been real help to
many an anemic child because It puts
blood of good, rich, red quality into
their little veins and makes them
want to laugh and play.
