CURRENT COMMENT
OF The PRESS
Some Things Being Talked and
Thought About
ROADS BEST INDICTMENT.

Considerable editorial comment is
going the rounds of the South Geor-
gla and Florida papers regarding the
campaign of veltising whicn IS be-
ing waged by California and other
western states bidding for tourist
travel. The feeling Is expressed by
the Macon Telegraph, the Amerlcus,
Ca, Iimes-Recorder and tde Pen. a.
cola, Fla, Journal, that a National
advertising campaign should be wag
&C for Americans to See America
t-ist. The TimesRecorder localizas
Ltls, suggestion by advocating See
Dixie First" although it heartily
agrees that there should be n national
campaign to aCquaint the American
peorlc with thu great attractions scat
tered al over the United States.
The most certain way of inducing
tourists to "See America First is
For thc Federal Government to build
and naintain . system of Federal
highways as proposed in the Town
send bill now pending before Con-
Gres. Each year viii not an appre-
clable increase in the number of
motor tourists. Even now thew are
waiting by the thousands for the
completion Of the Dixie Hjghwa from
Micnlgan to Florida, that they mIght
drive IN comfort from their homes IN
the cold and wintery north to the
land of sunshine and flowers. Just as
soon as the Dixie Highway is OMEN
for travel, as the officials feel that it
wall be by winter of 1920-21. the
travel over the highway will tax the
which are now offer
ed along the highway. Mr.. S. M.
W llliams, of Washington, chairman
of the Federal Highway Council, at
a meeting recently before the Chat
tanooga Automobile club stated that
Denver had spent last year 100000 to
2 tract tourists to Denver. Mr.. Will
Hams stated that one continuously
paved trans-continental highway
Denver would have brought
more tourists even without advertis-
ing than their present facilities would
have accommodated.
While on the subject of tourist
travel and the South, no route wi |
offer greater and more varied at
fractions than the Dixie Highway be-
tween the Central North and Florida.
In from five to ten days the motor
lists from the North are at their des-
tlnalon in Florida. For the trip
across the continent the greater pa t
of month is required, and there is
not the variety of attractions which
a trip into Dixie has to offer. Even
with paved road all the way to Cali
fornia, many tourists on account of
the length Of the trip would ship their
cars, while the trip to Florida ever

ION of Mr., Hoover moves the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger, a Republican
newspaper, to ask;
Why are the Republican staff
officers driving Herbert Hoover into
the Democratic party?
Why are they presenting a dis
credited Democracy with its one
chance of winning the election?
The answer is simple. Senator
Penrose and his associates in the Old
Guard are concerned first Of all with
the control of the Republican organi-
cation, which means the control of
the Republican party. A Republican
president is of no value to them un-
less he is their kind of Republican.
On the contrary, he is menace, for
he would try to destroy their power,
take the organization away from
them and ruin them politically. No
Democrat could do that. Consequent
", they would prefer any kind of
Democratic president to the wrong
kind of Republican president.
In this respect Senator Penrose and
the Old Guard do not differ from the
ordinary run of professional politic-
lans, whatever their party affiliations

Tells WHY indianapolis NURSE

Finally Pleased Over In

der Where It VIII Stop.

Mother remarked that If father keps
on taking Pepgen maybe she would not
be able to cook enough for him. said
Mrs. Harry Doyle, 554 Mlley avenue. In
dianapolis.
She said this by way of Illustrating the
remarkable change in the condition OF
her father, John Meyers, who is en-
ployed by the Dyans Flour Milling Com
pany.
According to Mrs. Doyle. her father had
been bothered so much with stomach
trouble for the last few years, with COM
plicatlOns affecting liver and Kidneys,
that on different occasions he had been
compelled to be Of from work for yari-
Gus periods.
He could hardly cot anything. At
times even a drink Of water would upset
his stomach. HIS back hurt him and MS
complexion became yellow. His nerves
were very bad
~ heard the results Pepgen is giving
and had him take It Now he eats
everything. even onions, and before he
could not touch them. He sleeps wen.
He doesn't complain of pains in his back
any more; in fact, he doesn't Complain
of anything. He comes home from work
apparently without feeling a bit tired.
And as to his appetite-it used to De

now it Is so good that she Jokes about
It. We are all very happy over the IN

Nature intended enjoyment Of eating
and the lack OF appetite OF inability 70
assimilate food without discomfort is a
sure sign OF disorder OF the system that
demands attention. Pepgen IS a remedy
that has restored healthfulness to thou
sands. Further information regarding it
may be secured at Henry J. Huders drug
stores, Washington and Pennsylvania
streets, Illinois and Michigan streets. Or

Henry Wetzell. employed at the Scnnul

Pepgen has made in his condition.
This is according to the statement
made by Mrs. wetzel at their home, 2l45
Ringgold street, indianapolis.
Mr.. wetzel had not been in gool
shape for a number of years." the wife
said. His stomach was in bad conds-
ton and he had rheumatism. complicated
with affections OF liver and nerves. At
times he had to give up his work and
stay home for treatment.
THE rheumatism attacked different
parts of his body He ate LtsIe on ac-
count Of the condition of his stomach.
He had gas, bloating and cramps.
He was easily upset, on account of bis
nervousness, and sleep was broken. His
color was muddy and yellow.
"A friend recommended Pepgen." says
Mrs. Wetzel Now he fees better all
around. His stomach is in good shara
and he can eat what he wants His rheti-
matisIa is about well and seldom botheYs

lone of my friends remarked the Other
day that the Pepgen I told him I was
taking had certainly put pep in me and
he surely spoke the truth. It has done
wonders"
This Is the way A R. Heath. 1913 Hm-
side, indianapolis, expressed himself re-
garding the new remedy that IS causing
so much comment nowadays.
-1tr. Heath is q carpenter and mighty
glad to be able to ply his vocation regu-
larly.

troubles affecting my stomach and kid
neys together with rheumatism and very
much nervousness. had the flu ana

Il felt draggy and worn out all the
time and sometimes pains In my back
would be very severe. ny nerves were
jumping and ! could not get nearly

and there were many things I did not
dare eat at all.

edy has certainly deserved my highest
accommodation. 1t regulated my kid

Believing that Pepgen viii do for

Heath recommends It for those who ars
suffering with complaints similar to his

Pepgen contains no alcohol nor any
thing else that is injurious. There Is no
secret about Its formula. The contents
are printed on every package. Tho
reason for it's remarkable results, as
attestsd by the experience Of thousands

fits the whole system.

of the Benefit it Has
Been to Her Husband.

that my husband derived from Pepgen. /"

knowledge of this remedy came to the
whitcombs through the recommendation
of friend who was aware of Mr..
whitcOmbs condition. Having bene~
fitted. they are in turn glad to pass along
the good news in order that others may
be helped similarly. And It is with
that idea that the statement is pub
nshed, as 1t will serve to reach so
many more than could be given the in
formation by spoken words as the op-
portunities might occur
MY husband had the flu" says Mrs
whitcomb, land it left him in 4 weak
ened condition and with e chronic
cough. In fact he had not been in good
share for the last few years. HIS
stomach, kidneys and liver were. ar
fected; he was nervous.
after meals he would complain Of
sourness and at times actual agony In
his stomach. He would roll and toss
in his sleep and he would also have
might sweats. Some nights he would
not get any sleep at all. His color
was very bad a murky yellow. He saio
he had dull aching all over his back.
Since friend recommended Pepgen
to my husband and he acted on the
advice, he feels so much better. 1t Is
the one thing that ever gave him rear
relief. His stomach. liver and nerves
are all in better shape. l know this
not only because OF what he says but
from the way he acts. 1t Is certainly
gratifying to see how much he has i'm
