ANOTHER RICHMOND MAN SAYS
''WONDERFUL HOW MY KIDNEYS
WERE RELIEVED BY PEPGEN''
Fireman Of the Penn. Ry.
Enthusiastic About New
Medicine
MANY HERE INDORSE

You do not have to take the word
of any one person that Pepgen is a
good medicine if you are troubled with
stomach. kidney or liver ills. Scores
of people right here in Richmond
have Endorsed Pepgen-people who
are grateful for the relief it has
brought them.
IF l had dozen tongues I do not
believe | could begin to tell near all
of the good that Pepgen did me-" saws
W. H. Crump, stationary fireman at
the Pennsylvania Ry. yards, who lives
at 4OS North 18th street. Richmond.
1t IS simply wonderful how it helped
me- continues Mr.. Crump.
"At the time l started to take this
most remarkable medicine | was suf.
fering from deranged kidneys. NV
back ached me at times until 7
thought l couldn't bear the pains. In
the mornings, when l got up, | would
often have to sit on the edge of nv
bed for several minutes before | could
move. Pepgen Strengthened me out.
1T also helped my stomach. It
gave me good appetite Ever since
| have been taking Pepgen all my
food agrees with me. No more sour.
bitter tastes in my mouth. | can't
praise Pepgen enough. / am so glad
that have found a remedy that gives
me relief"
If you don't feel right Try Pepgen.

"GAVE ME GOOD
APPETITE" HE
SAYS OF TONIC
F. L. Street, Of this City, Does Not
Hesitate to Indorse
Pepgen

One of the greatest pleasures in
life is to sit down to a we'll cooked
meal and be able to enjoy it. In this
respect the rich man has no advan-
tage over the poor man. True, he
may have a greater variety of foods
but if his digestion is not good. he
cannot relish the foods his riches en-
able him to obtain. Many poor man
is richer with good digestion than the
most bloated bond holder, with nery-
Gus dyspepsia.
F. L. Street, $50 North 10th ST.,
Richmond. says: "Pepgen gave me a
good appetite" and what Mr. Street
says, hundreds of persons with sorely
afflicted stomachs, would like to say.
If your stomach is upset and your
food sours causing a bloated, uncom-
Portable feeling after meals. If you
have no appetite and everything that
is set before you looks and tastes the
same. If you eat your meals in a me-
chanical sort of way. If you never
get real, downright hungry it would
be well for you to initiate Mr.. Streets
example and take Pepgen. Scores
say it has given them good appetites,
made them stronger and feel better
in every way.

RICHMOND WOMAN DESCRIBES
RELIEF HER HUSBAND SECURED
AFTER STARTING ON PEPGEN
Kidneys and Back Are Better; His
Stomach is Now About
Normal
CONTINUES TO IMPROVE

eff my husband continues to i'm

in the past while taking Pepgen, |

a great while before he is a perfectly
we'll man" says Mrs. Thomas Rogers,
y31 North 18th ST, Richmond.
When my husband started to take
Pepgen his back hurt him. This prob
ably came from disordered kidneys.
His stomach also went back on him
and he complained of his food sour
ing. He grew so weak that he was
not able to go to work.
Since taking Pepgen his back is in
better condition and from the way he
eats his stomach is about normal.
His food agrees with him. Yes, Pep

Pepgen increases stomach action

cious curtailment of expenses would be posi-
tive selling point
Manufacturers and business men no longer
expect to be bribed by bonus to establish in
dustries in a city. The era of industrial expan-
sion by the way of the bonus and subsidy sys-
tenn has passed.
Shrewd and careful business men are not
looking for bonuses but are scanning the tax
rates, inquiring about utility rates and studying
housing facilities to obtain decisive data for the
location of their industrial plants
A high tax rate and excessive charges for
power and light will drive away more pros
pective plants than 81, 100000 industrial fund
can attract
Manufacturers know that tax rates habitu-
ally increase instead of decrease. They are skep-
teal about cities in which tax rate does not
provide enough money to cover the appropria-
tons which extravagant authorities Vote heed
lessly and needlessly.
A city administration that spends money,
raised by taxation, wisely and in pursuance of a
definite plan of city development, is an asset to
the community itself and an outstanding feature
which manufacturers are quick to note. Bust
ness men are impressed by the business judg-
ment used by wise city authorities and repealed
by the folly and ignorance of unwise ones.
The best advertisement for Richmond will be
an economical administration of its affairs
The retrenchment policy, which the depleted
condition of the treasury forces upon us, must
not be applied to the school system. Improve
n1ents are absolutely necessary in the school sys-
tenn Buildings have been neglected for years.
Rooms are crowded to capacity. The accumula-
ton of many years of neglect has precipitated
crisis, which only heroic methods can remedy.
1t would be false economy and poor business
judgment to prevent the school board from carry
ing out improvements.
Good schools are essential necessity of
community life. The board must be provided
with ample funds to enable it to rehabilitate the
system.

Municipal Economy and Low Tax Rate

The relation between municipal expenses and
the tax rate is a direct one. AS the expenditures
IF the city increase, more money to pay the bills
must be raised. This can be done only in two
ways. First, by direct and indirect taxation
secondly, by the floating of bonds. But no mat
ter how the money is raised to pay the city's ex-
penses, the taxpayer foots the bill. He has no
vicarious substitute 1 .1
When the tax rate of a city has reached
high figure, and it is against public policy to in
crease the bonded Indebtedness of municipal
lty, good business judgment dictates one word
economy.
Richmond's municipal expenditures are so
great now that economy must be applied in all
departments. Taxes are high. A substantial
addition to the burden will be a positive deter
rent to the development of the community
commercially and industrially. Interest rates on
bonds are too high to justify an issue unless it is
of paramount importance to the safety and pros
perity of the city.
A review of the tax situation presented YES
terday in the news columns of the Palladium,
shows precisely how vital is the adoption of a
policy of economical expenditures in city affairs.
Richmond might make many improvements
that would rebound to it's welfare, but the CITY
council. in view Of the strained condition of the
treasury, should approve only the most neces-
sary ones.
This program even if rigidy adhered to, will
not hamper the citys growth. In fact, judi

CHILDREN SHOULD
BE WATCHED WITH
VERY GREAT CARE
They Require Perfect Digestion,
Otherwise Delicate Tissues Are
Not Nourished

One Of the greatest mistakes a par
ent can make is to neglect looking
after a child's digestion.
The tissues of a child's body are
very delicate. They have not &C
CURED the powers of endurance which
older people possess The greater por-
ton of the food they eat is required
for growth and development.
Together with the double strain of
studying and growing, a childs diges-
ton is taxed to the limit and parents
should see that their children have
prompt attention should stomach dis
orders occur.
Pepgen has been real help TO
many an anemic child because It puts
blood Of good, rich, red quality into
their little veins and makes them want
to laugh and play.

LOOKING ONLY TO RESULTS

| like to study men and women who
were important enough in the world
to have their lives put into books.
When l was about 10 years old, my
Father handed me a book called The
Life Of Savonarola," with these words :
My boy. this book is worth its weight
in gold" l took the book, looked thru
it, and, seeing no pictures, could not
figure out wherein its weight in
gold could lie.
But my Fathers statement stuck
with me, and one day I took that book
ard went off alone and read it from
cover TO cover. The wonderful story
Of that Florentine reformer aroused
me as nothing had up to that time. And
all thru the years my interest in
biography has grown.
The history of any time is embodied
in the lives of the men and women
who make up that time.
But the most interesting observation
about great folks is this-that every
one of them had a definite thing to
do-and kept following out that plan.
In other words, their whole trend of
thought and action was for the getting
of results.
The longer a man is dead, the fewer
critics he has-for critics usually
bother their heads about the little
things that wind themselves around a
man. The big things-the results
stand out plain, ard it is by them that
we estimate a man.
No one is wise all the time There
is such thing as a good blunderer
because he is the type who profits by
every mistake-no matter if he makes
a thousand. Also he is the man who is
after rosults-and gets them.

Answers to Questions

]. N.-How can you render glue in
soluble in water? - To render glue
insoluble in water, hot or cold, add a
few crystals of bichromatic of potash
to the water with which the glue is
being dissolved for use. After part
has been glued expose it to the light.
For most purposes about one-fiftieth
bichromatic of the amount of glue
used will be sufficient. Therefore,
glue containing potassium bichromate
becomes insoluble when exposed to
light and allowed to harden thorough
ly. Another method Of making water
proof glue is to soak ordinary glue in
cold water until it softens and remove

Women Help Elect Former Premier
in Opposition to Government
and Labor.

London, Feb. 25.-Former Pre-
mier Herbert H. Asquith was elect
ed to parliament from the Paisley
constituency in the recent by-elec-
tion. Announcement of the result
was made today.
Mr.. Asquith, the liberal nominee,
polled 14,736 votes against 1902
for J. M. Biggar. the labor candi-
date, and 3,795 for J. A. D. Mac
Kean, coalition unionist.
Women played prominent part
in the campaign, which has re-
suited in the former premiers sue

house of commons and work for
vindication of his ideals of liberal
ism. The most prominent of the
women who were busy electioneer-

Bonham Carter, who took up the
cudgels in behalf of her father and
made many striking speeches.
Mr.. AsQuith early in the canvass
issued a message to all liberals in
which he said:
"Do not let your liberalism be
either watered with toryism or for
titled by labor"-throwing out a
challenge both to the labor inter
ests and the present coalition gov
ernment. His battle was fought
