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 severe and agra
waited case Of constipation.
SIENNA Leaves are another popular,
home remedy for constipation. but like
cascara, they will not answer the prob
lem where the ailment is of long
standing. To secure best results cas-
cara and SIENNA should be used in COM
bination. Two small horses travel
ing in the same direction will always
outpull one big horse that weighs as
much as both Of them.
To mix cascara and SIENNA in exact
ly the proper proportions to always
have uniform dose requires a chem

MUSTARD KNOCKS
GRIPPE AND COLDS

A liniment made from mustard,
pepper, sassafras, ammonia and
menthol has very great penetrat-
ing power. 1t enters the pores of
the skin without much rubbing and
never blisters.
For grippe, coughs and colds ap-
ply the liniment to chest, throat,
and back and you will be surprised
at the relief it gives. 1t is also
fine for rheumatism, neuralgia,
lunbago and muscular pains.
For a small sum you can obtain
a large bottle of the above pre-
scription scientifically compound.

Dizzy spells added to my discomfort.
My tongue was coated and my food

81 was so nervous that my eyelids
twitched and there was slight puff
ness under my eyes. My feet and
hands were cold because my circula-

"Since taking Pepgen my appetite
has improved and I am able to eat
foods that I have not touched before

Pepgen.
Many people are wearing out be-
cause their kidneys are not acting
properly and thus I'LL their systems

Germany Crippled in Air
Beyond, Early Recovery
(By Associated Press,

LONDON, Jan. 3.-For the Allies tc
take 1000 airplanes from Germany, in
accordance with the terms of the arm
istice, means militarily Gripping Ger
many in the air beyond hope of early
recovery, while immensely adding to
the aerial strength of the Allies, says
an aviation expert. This is empha.
sized, he says, by the fact that in five
months of the heaviest air fighting OF
the war, Germany lost in aerial com
bat with the British alone something
like $4,000 machines. To this total
must be added the destruction wrought
by the French and American air
services.
The expert asserts that for several
months before the armistice, Ger
many's capacity for producing air
planes was unequal to the task of re-
placing her immense losses. This, he
adds, was strikingly illustrated by the
almost complete failure of her air arm
during the final and most critical
phase of the war.

Self determination Is not a maxim OF universal
application. Like every other principle it must
be judged by the broader consideration OF its ef-
feet in a specific case for promoting the larger
good. Where it would evidently result In more
evil than good, where it would sacrifice the
worlds more important interests to its lesser in
terests, then it must be superseded.
In dealing with the crunbling Europe Of TO-
day, we must approach the problems with an ap.
probation of their complexity, and with an under
standing of our own ignorance concerning many
of the factors that make them-Kansas City
Star.

FURS ARE PLENTIFUL

OXFORD, O., Jan. 3.-Local hide
dealers say that not in many years
years has the supply Of skunk
hides been so plentiful as this win
ter. Already the number of hides
handled largely exceeds the num-
Der handled during any previous
corresponding period. Mink hides
are also more plentiful, and as the
price of all hides is higher than
heretofore, dealers and trappers
are happy.

CABBAGE BEFORE

The sale of Pepgen in Richmond
and surrounding territory has now
reached the enormous amount of over
1000 bottles and that is not the best
part of it. The best thing that can
be said for Pepgen is that 95 percent
of all the people who have used it
claim to have received benefits.

Roger W. Babson, director general
of the U. S. department of labor
says:
ITO overcome the present inertia
on the part of the buying public
more advertising must be done by
merchants as well as by manufac-
turers.
"The public has more money now
than 1t has ever had before, but is
hesitant about spending it. Such a
state of mind can be overcome sure
ly and quickly only by advertising.
"The department of labor believes
that in fostering this movement for
more advertising" it can shorten
the period of readjustment of bus
iness and industry from war work
to peace work. Only by more ad-
vertising can unemployment be pre-
vented"
