THRIFT STAMPS SALES
 TOTAL OVER BILLION
At A Cost to Government of Less Than 5
 Per Cent

Evidence that the national thrift campaign has been a success to date is indicated by figures which recently reached the savings division, First Federal Reserve District from the Treasury Department at Washington. They show that more than SHOT, 000,000 has been realized through the sale of Thrift Stamps, War Saw ings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates at a cost of only $5,947,- 424.55. These figures cover the twenty-two months these securities have been available for purchase by the public.
 Commenting on these figures Mrs. Richard M. Bissell, director of sav- ings for Connecticut said: ''It is cer- tainly with a great deal of pleasure that the war savings workers view these figures from Washington. The cost of the campaign, which is a trifie over one-half of one per cent, is certainly worthy of notice. With out taking any credit or glory away from any other government cam paign, think it is safe to say that the War Savings campaign is one that has won the heart of the great Ameri- can people.
 "As Secretary Glass has previous ly announced, thrift stamps, war savings stamps and treasury savings certificates will be available for purchase indefinitely. The design for the, 1920 war savings stamp is now being completed"
 Secretary Glass statement issued with these figures states:
 Figures have been compiled showing the expense of the govern ment savings and investment move ment and the returns from the sales of the smaller denomination securi- ties up to and including September 30 of the present year. While, nat urally, with the termination of the popular campaigns of the war period, which made instant appeal to the patriotic fervor of that time, sales dropped sharply to decidedly low CT level, the upward trend appearing in the figures for August and Septem- Der indicate that the efforts of the savings organization to combat the present tendency to waste and extra vagance which have to come as reaction from the wartime econo- mics, are beginning to have their effect. The present showing of ex- pense versus returns is a gratifying one"
 Recent figures received at the headquarters of the Connecticut War Savings Committee show that after steady decrease in the sales of thrift stamps, war savings stamps and treasury savings certificates, after the signing of the armistice, these securities begin to be in great CT demand in August and September, and reports now indicate that there will still be a more substantial in crease.
 Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates will be available next year at banks and postoffices according to the latest reports from Washington.

Meals Should Pay Dividends.
Are your rleals paying you divi-
dends. or are they simply plunging
you headlonE into physical bank
ruptcy? Every meal you eat should
add 10 your supply of blood, bone
and muscle. It should give you
more strength, more vigOr, more
vitality 10 carry you pleasantly and
probably through life. Food which
does nothing but give you mOmen-
tary satisfaction is of no benefit.
Pepgen's success as an appetizer
invigorant and revitalizer depends
largely upon the manner in which it
promotes healthy digestion. so that
food taken into the system is prop
erly digested and converted into
nourishment FOR every organ in the
body. Pepgen has a pleasant, cool
