Victory Loan Campaign
 Must Be Speeded Up.

THE nationwide Victory Loan
 0 campaign must be speeded up.
 In various states not a few counties have subscribed their quotas, but in the country as whole the amount of
 money sought by the government is i far short of the goal
 Alabama has done relatively as well
 as many other states and Jefferson county as we'll as other counties-bet- ter than most of them. But there is apathy where there should be an eager spirit and intense activity.
 With the drive quickened this coun- tvs allotment will be oversubscribed before the end of the present week
 In previous campaigns we have gone
 over the top, notwithstanding the fact
 that the quotas were larger-in the
 last loan drive two million dollars greater--than now.
 Money is more abundant in Alabama today than it has ever been. There is
 plethora of it in Birmingham and
 as the government securities offered
 are exceptionally attractive from an investment point of view subscrip-
 tions should be prompt and liberal. If the county's quota were double the
 amount fixed, there should be no diff ficulty in reaching the higher level.
 As it is the seven million dollars to
 be raised is an easy proposition. As the terms of payment are made to suit people of limited means vir- tually every wage earner as we'll as
 the rich can become, and should be-
 come, buyers of the government notes
 bearing four and three-quarters per
 cent interest. Let's have great outburst of pa- triotism and cross the line with a rush. & x x

League of Nations
 Covenant Complete

6NH revised covenant of the J league of nations, published in full yesterday, as previously an- nounced in an official summary, meets practically all the serious objections offered by members of Congress and others who opposed the document in its original form.
 Those features which chiefly inter- est America are the Monroe doctrine, which is specifically recognized; arm aments, mandatories and method for withdrawing from the league at the expiration of two years, if that is found desirable. It can readily be seen that there is no menace to the sovereignty of America in the revised document, apparent even to an alarm ist.
 The American government will not accept the role of mandatory over any foreign nation unless it expressly de- sires to do so, there will be no in- terference with the policy we have long maintained in preventing foreign usurpation in the western hemisphere and each nation will decide on the military force it regards as necessary for it's safety and the preservation of order, as well as the armed forces it will contribute, eff any," to enforce the leagues mandates.
 The criticism may be made that, after all, the future of the league of nations depends on spirit of coop eration and fair play among the signatory powers, that it's "teeth have been drawn," but it is nevertheless a great step forward toward preventing strife in the future and if the world has learned any lesson from the great conflict just closed that knowledge will be put to good use in the preservation and strengthening of the league of nations.
 In spite of the complexities they had to face, and not without alternating the sympathy for the time being, it is hoped, of Italy and causing some i'll feeling on the part of Japan, the peace delegates have done their work well. They have made the best of a situa- tion which seemed hopelessly involved.
 If there still survives such a thing as honor among nations, the league of nations will prove blessing to hu- manity. If elements of weakness de- velop and it fails of it's purpose, that will be due to the fact that national sclfishness is still paramount to the welfare of all peoples.

Motor Truck Parade
 To Be Gala Affair

ID BIRMINGHAM is a city of parades O and pageants and one of the gala events of statewide interest will be the motor truck demonstration on May 10.
 Ship by truck" is slogan of ready appeal. Motor truck haulage relieves railway congestion and is en- couraged by the railroad administra- |tion.
 Everybody in Alabama is invited to come to Birmingham and witness the motor truck exhibition. Hundreds of these modern carriers will be in the parade. There will be twenty-three designs or types and the demonstra- tion in Capitol park will be the most |educative affair of the kind ever seen in the south.
 Nothing has so stimulated the good roads movement as motor truck traf- fic. And everybody is benefited by paved highways, which must be built to accommodate the heavy truck.
 The larger the crowd of visitors as- sembled here on the tenth of May, the stronger and more effective will pub i lie sentiment become in furtherance of new and better roads. !: # * Life at the bathing beaches is apt to be dull this summer without the possi- bility of U-boat scare.

I said something awhile back in this story about analyzing the nntionali- ties of the inhabitants of Plume ac- cording to the returns in the 1900 census but I purposely left it until now. Out of the Ss,s55, there were 17,354 Italians, 14,sS5 Slavs (Croats, Serbs and Slovenes), PAS. Hungarians and 1s45 Germans These fig ures of course have been changed since the time they were originally taken. It would appear from them, however that Italy has some grounds for claiming Plume as an Italian city if nationality is to cut any figure. But then comes up the geographical question and if this is to govern Crotia holds a winning hand. But if neither nationality or geography is to cut any figure but lan- guage is to settle it. then it becomes a sure enough Chinese puzzle for large number of the inhabitants speak several tongues. am going to just leave it to the hir four to scrap over.

Everywhere the most prominent
people are giving testimony in praise
of Pepgen out of gratitude for the re-
lief that Pepgen brings and because
they feel it is their duty to do so.
Mrs Mamie c. Worthington. 1873
North Sixth street, Terre Haute. in
dorses Pepgen because she believes it
is the humanitarian spirit to help the
other fellow" if you can. and that is
the first thought of many men and
women who voluntarily tell what Pep
gen has done for them.
81 am sure that all the good things
the people in other cities are saying
about Pepgen are true. / know from
experience that what Terre Haute
people say is true. Pepgen is far bet
ter than any patent medicine l ever
used / have a splendid appetite and
no trouble with my stomach since ]

Pepgen is an appetizer and being
delicately adapted to stomach needs 1t
gently persuades assimilation. 1t is
choice medicine for pale, weak, slen-
der people.

which in turn builds the kidneys. liv-
er and other organs. A good healthy
stomach guarantees nerve security.
The stomach thrives on Pepgen.
With the epidemics that sweep over
the country from time to time tnere Is
plainly shown the need for good
tonic as it is claimed by most author
tiles that people in a rundown condl-
ton are susceptible to disease while
those who are healthy generally es-
cape the attacks of disease germs
The disease germs attack neaitny
bodies as we'll as unhealthy ones, the
difference being that the healthy body
is able to throw off the attack while
the weakened body succumbs.
1t has been said that Pepgen is well
advertised-that is true but, after all.
it is what the neighbors say that
counts most. Such a record breaking
sale as Pepgen has had in Richmond
could not have been brought about by
advertising alone.
One bottle of Pepgen is sold in
neighborhood through advertising but
! ten more are sold in that community
after the first bottle produces results
as was the case where Mrs. Baker
neighbor told her about Pepgen.
People are always willing to talk
about their ailments. but they are
more than willing to tell others of the
medicine that helped them. 1t is
something they couldn't keep to them
selves if they tried, for the impulse to
sympathize with neighbors and want
to help them is one Of the strongest
as well as one of the biggest things ir
human nature.
Who is there that has been relieved
of the pangs of illness by Pepgen that
would not tell his suffering neigh

How a Father Has Learned to
Save Shoe Bills.

My son is very hard on shoes. so
keeping him properly shod has been
quite an expense to me, writes MIR. J.
Allison Allen, of Amity, Arkansas.
But since l started to buy Neolin-
soled shoes for him l have found that
it costs only about third as much to
keep him in shoes
This is because Neolin Soles are so
tough and durable that they wear a
very long time. Shoe bills are kept
down because you don't need so many
pairs.
You can get Neolin-soled shoes at
almost any good shoe store. They
come in all styles and for all members
of the family. Neolin Soles are also
available everywhere for residing.
They are produced by a scientific pro-
cess to be what soles ought to be: com
Portable, waterproof and long-wearing.
They are made by The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Company. Akron, Chic, who
also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed
to outwear any other heels.

FOOD SOURED CAUSING
GAS AND FLOATING

Mrs. Edward Sharits, 5l5 South 9Th
St, Richmond. recently called at This
tlethwaite's drug store to obtain
bottle of Pepgen. In answer to a
question as to how she liked Pepgen
Mrs. Sharits said:
II am not taking Pepgen myself. l
am buying this for my father-in-law,
Mr.. William Sharits. He was trou-
bled with his stomach and liver. His
food soured and caused gas and bloat-
ing.
He has been taking Pepgen but a
short while and says it has almost en-
tirely relieved him. Pepgen not only
helped his stomach but it made him
feel stronger. He tells me that it is
no great hardship for him to get up in
the mornings and go to work where
before he took Pepgen he dreaded his
work because he always felt tired.
"Pepgen has made such change in
my father-in-law's condition that we
are glad he is going to continue to
take it,
Pepgen is now the sensation OF the
drug trade in the United States. In
the history of patent medicines there
has never been a record worthy OF
comparison with Pepgen.
The enormous popularity of Pepgen
is due to its meritorious effects in
stomach trouble. Indigestion, dyspep
STA, headaches. constipation, back
ache, kidney and liver ills.
Glenn Thistlethwaite says the sales
of Pepgen in Richmond have more
than doubled the sale of any other
medicine The Meyer Brothers Drug
Co. of Muncie. report that the sale OF
| Pepgen in that city is astonishing
The Terminal Pharmacy of Terre
Haute also report enormous sales. The
J. F. BONN Drug Co, of Evansville
say that out of the great quantity sold
at their stores they have not had one
dissatisfied customer.

the Mooney MuellerWard Drug Co. oil

large demand for Pepgen in all parts
