COSTS MONEY TO HAVE A ARGE
APPETITE But NOTHING BRINGS
SUCH TREMENDOUS DIVIDENDS
HAD ODD HABIT;
ate PIE FIRST

1t is said that one Of the great Eur
opean statesmen always eats his pie
first Why does this statesman re-
verse a worldwide custom? Why does
he satisfy the taste of his sweet
tooth" first? No doubt he follows this
rule to avoid the danger of overload
ing his stomach.
The average human stomach will
hold about one quart of food. How
many people bear this in mind and
give their stomachs the attention that
is justly due them? 1t is safe to say
that not more than one in every ten
persons eats to live; the balance live
to eat.
Crowding the human stomach with
food distends and weakens the walls
of the organ until the muscles are
stretched and they often remain
stretched. Muscular contraction be-
comes paralized, which is dangerous
condition, and then comes stomach
upheaval, resulting in bloating, sour
ness, pains, shortness of breath, pal
pitation of the heart, nervousness and
headaches.
Pepgen now is offered to dyspeptic.
1t is their hope. Pepgen relieves in
digestion. AS soon as Pepgen reaches
the stomach the gastric Juices get
busy and begin the process of diges-
tion. Pepgen is a wonderful tonic.

State Officials Fail to
Settle Louisville Strike
(By Associated PressN

LOUISVILLE, Ky. August %
There was little apparent hope Of set
tlement today of the strike of union
lied employees of the Louisville rail
way company which has partly tied
up street car service here for nearly
two weeks. After failure of Governor
James D. Black, Mayor George w.
Smith and other city officials to get
the company to enter a conference
with the union leaders, all indications
pointed today toward a long drawn
out affair.
Meanwhile T. J. Minary. president
of the company, has expressed the
belief that the backbone Of the strike
is broken and said that normal ser
vice will be offered within u few days.
Limited service was being offered TO-
day, the cars being manned by strike
breakers under police escort.
a statement from union headQuar-
ters denies q report that its members
are returning to the company and re-
iterated that 1900 union men would
remain on strike until thir demands,
which include union recognition and
better working conditions, are granted
by the company.

Would Have Fared More Happily
Had He Confined His AT
fections to One Woman.

A middle aged man with two sweet
hearts, the one younger, the other old
er than himself. is the hero of fable
written many centuries ago.
The younger woman, unwilling to
see in her lover any signs of en-
croaching age, plucked the gray hairs
from his head The older woman,
jealous against his showing
any of the favors of youth, plucked
the black hairs from his head. Be-
tween them they plucked him bald
and then forsOok him.
Many stOmachS are as cruelty treat
ed. For the sake of immediate relief
q drastic drug is poured into the stom-
ach, already raw and distressed. One
function or another thereupOn becomes
feverishly active. To offset its harm
full violence another drug of opposite
effect and equally drastic is poured
down Some functions now operate
unhealthfully while yet others cease
entirely.
In desperate state at last the stom-
ach is subjected to first one then an
other punishment until it is wholly
disordered.
Better Treatment From Wife
If the man in the fable had had
wife instead of two sweethearts he
would have Jared happily through life
with a full head of hair If distressed
stomachs had as their ally faithful
Nature instead of tickle and violent
drugs, they would come through life
with less discomfort and more health.
Nature offers Pepgen to sick stOm-
achs-to sick systems through which
stomach sickness has spread like a
poison. Pepgen is composed of heal
ing herbs and barks treated without
the use of alcohol. In many cases al
cohol irritates the membranes Of the
stomach as surely as it irritates the
surface-as if dropped into the eye
makes it red and fiery.
Pepgen Is delicately adapted to
stomach needs. Pepgen builds health
and strength through the stomach. By
causing good digestion it reaches the
nerves.
Rundown men and women who
need better digestion, more strength,
more flesh, regulated blood circulation
and revitalization of the nervous sys-

EXPERT'SVERDICT
IN LATEST CASES
Science, Baked at First BY
Mysterious Ills, Finds Cause
of Many Sicknesses

"Auto-intoxication" Is the condition
Of the human system which causes the
generation of poisons within the body.
"Auto-intoxjcation" is the slow self
poisoning Of the vital organs, which,
by failing to perform their functions
properly, do not dispose Of toxic or
poisonous waste matter that spreads
its baneful effects through the system.
These poisons are said to result most
frequently from the strain which the
unnatural ways Of modern life lay
upon the organs.
This strain is intense because Of the
fierce struggle for existence that
marks life today. Life is truly bat
tie. The man or the woman that goes
into the battle without being physic-
tally fit is beaten down in the first
skirmish.
That is why auto-intoxication is so
often discussed. It's victims are van
quished before the battle begins. And
that is why Pepgen is cheering so
many thousands of men and women

some Of these very maladies instilled
in the system by self-poisoning.
Pepgen was designed to make weak,
sick, beaten people fit for the fray, to
pluck up courage along with health.
and go into the battle of life with a
smile of confidence.
Pepgen is not discovery not
an accident; Pepgen was designed and
carefully compounded to make people
healthier, heartier, more robust, more
hopeful, more cheerful, more fit for
their jobs and therefore more pros
porous. Pepgens success is based
upon its merit in relieving modern
maladies, such as arise from auto-in-
toxication.
Purely vegetable, Pepgen, the re-
constructive tonic. is both a food and
a tonic for the stomach. 1t begins bv
stimulating the digestive and assimi-
lative organs-the human machinery
which renders food into blood, bone

DOUBLES CHAMPS
WILL BE DECIDED
IN PLAY TONIGHT

Jim Harrington and Ollie Often, tout
ed as champions. went down to defeat
at the Fairgrounds Thursday evening
at the hands of Shell Simmons and
George Eversman, in two straight sets,
G-3 and CO. Despite the scores, both
sets were well played and several of
the spectators declared the match to
be the best this year.
Eversman has developed a hard
serve which caused his opponents
much worry. His work in the back
OF the courts was commendable. as
returned several of Harington's hard
drives which looked impossible.
Simmons, with his great reach,
makes an ideal net man.
Harrington's work in the back
courts was also very good, and Often
played good tennis as net man, al
though he had trouble returning the
serves Of Eversman. BY winning,
Simmons and Eversman won the right
to enter the finals and will play the
winner of the Haberkern and Holland,
lsley and Holiday match for the dou-
hles championship OF the city, Friday
evening.
A number Of the preliminary match
es in singles remain, but it is thought
that they will be played off soon.
Thursday evening, Clarke trimmed
Fay, while Keys won from Often, in
two sets. 6-3 and 60. Keys also won
two straight sets from Haberkern.
The singles championship is doped
to lie between four men, Shel Sim
mons, Jim Harrington, Roland Keys
and Robert Copeland, although they
are looking for Clarke to make his
opponents step to defeat him.

Pure CASCARA
fine LAXATIVE

Pure cascara is one of the best lax
atives known to the medical world,
but cascara alone is not always suffi-
cient to overcome a severe and aggra-
waited case Of constipation.
SIENNA leaves are another popular
home remedy for constipation, but like
cascara, they will not answer the
problem where the ailment is Of long
standing. To secure best results cas-
cara and SIENNA should be used in COM

in the same direction will always out
pull one big horse that weighs as

this year is not the organization OF
the Amateur Base Ball Association
nor the reorganization of leagues; it
is the finding of suitable diamonds on
which to play regularly. l understand.
on definite authority. that already
there have been requests for more
diamonds in Potomac Park and on the
white Lot than there are diamonds to
play on, which means that somebody
is going to lack suitable grounds.
Navy Vary has the 18th and H streets
grounds tied up for regular contests,
tremely difficult to locate themselves
within convenient limits. When anna
teur base ball was at it's height. eight
or nine years ago, there were plenty
of playing fields.
On North Capitol street in one block
there were two good fields. Only
eight blocks farther away on North
Capitol was another good field Out
in Petworth were two more and up
in Mount Pleasant another. Now all
these are done away with, and where
