Pepgen is a tonic which promotes

sion for 100000 freight cars to move the grain

sion for 100000 freight cars to move the grain
crops from the northwestern states.
One spokesman of this group left the infer
ence that the central west and northwest have
been drained of cars, which are now on the east
ern roads, held for the purpose of making short
runs to assist the manufacturing interests of the
eastern states and the seaboard cities.
Farmers cannot be expected to keep quiet
under the irksome conditions attending the crop
movement. Their prosperity depends in no
small measure on the movement of crops shortly
after they are harvested And those of us who
belong to the two-thirds of our population that
are consumers have a vital interest in the move
ment of crops also. The men who constitute one
third of our population and upon whom we de-
pend for the production of our foodstuffs have
interests that are intimately related to own
welfare. If farmers, dissatisfied with and wear
jed of the vexations of their industry, should re-
duce their acreage by thousands of acres and
decide to produce only enough food for them
selves, with small surplus to purchase few of
the products we manufacture, the city jewellers
will presently find themselves in identically the
same condition of starvation of which the urban
population of Russia is suffering now
The peasants of that country are tilling
enough acres to provide them with sustenance
and are letting the cities shift for themselves
The high death rate from starvation and the cpl
denies following malnutrition in Russia describe
the consequences of that policy.
The farmers of America are not radicals.
They are not hardhearted and DESTROYS of in
flicting suffering on others, but we cannot ex-
pect them to work ten and twelve hours a day,
against our eight, and receive as the pay for
their labor, ability and investment, sum of
money far less than receive. Neither is it
reasonable to ask them to lose thousands of dol
lars because the transportation system does not
provide them with cars to move their crops in

1t Is said that one of the great
European statesmen always eats
his pie first. Why does this states
man reverse a worldwide custom?
Why does he satisfy the taste Of
his "sweettooth first? No doubt he
follows this rule to avoid the dan
ger of overlooking 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 Of
ten remain stretched. Muscular
contraction becomes paralyzed,
which is a dangerous condition,
and then comes stomach upheaval.

1t is necessary for every person to

Those who take Pepgen say they
can eat anything without discomfort
1t has relieved scores of cases OF

kidney ailments because it induces

Cars for Grain Movement

Wayne county is beginning to realize first
hand what the car shortage means. Not that its
manufacturers and merchants have had no pre-
vious experience with delays in transporting
finished products out of the city and of receiving
raw materials. Its farmers and grain men are
now up against an acutely serious situation.
Cars to transport grain from the elevator to
the primary markets and the seaboard are lack
ing. If the shortage becomes still more acute,
elevators will refuse to accept wheat, and farm
ers will be compelled to build granaries, store
wheat in inprovised granaries, and, what is of
still greater menace, wait for months before they
can exchange the wheat for money.
Thousands Of dollars, represented in the
stored wheat by the labor of the farmer and the
money he expended for seed, machinery and
TOOLS interest on his investment, taxes, etc., re-
main out of circulation. The farmer wants the
money which the crop would bring him.
His ability to pay his debts and go into the
market for commodities will be curtaed. And
as the prosperity of the whole country depends
on the financial prosperity Of the farmer, all of
us will be affected more or less by the shortage

MRS. MILLER IS
AIDED BY FIRST
DOSE OF PEPGEN

or course the first dose of Pep
gen will not overcome a severe and
aggravated case of nervous dys-
pepsia but many people have testi-
fled that the first dose helped them.
Mrs. August Miller, % Fl. Wayne
Ave. Richmond, says, THE very
first dose of Pepgen helped me of
indigestion. I had eaten some
roast meat and it had soured on my
stomach. In half an hour after l
took Pepgep I felt all right.
After taking Pepgen regularly
for several days 1 felt better in al
most every way. I can eat hearth
ly and my stomach does not bother
me afterwards. 1t is a fine tonic
and not unpleasant to take. like
the appetizing flavor"
The human stomach should be
thought Of only when it suggests
the need Of food. To millions Of
people the stomach is a source of
mental as we'll as physical dis
tress. Chronic stomach trouble
preys upon the mind as well as de-
ranging the kidneys and liver.
Nervous dyspeptics shrink from
the easiests tasks Of life and are
entirely unfit to graple with the
harder ones. They go through life
shackled to imaginary fears and
failure Is their doom.
Has your stomach been failure
or a success? The stomach is one
of the deep secrets of success.
Pepgen is a stomach tonic SUI
preme. 1t is delicately adapted to
the needs of the stomach that is
ailing. 1t perfects digestion. puri-
