Although there are a number of li-
quid tonics on the market which here-
tofore have enjoyed a big ~:»Ie, the
Urge demand already created for Pep
Systemic Pills indicates that they will
very soon surpass the record made by
any general tonic that has ever been
introduced.
The reasons for the big demand for
these pills are several—viz., that in-
stead of bei^g a tonic for just one
class of ailments they are for all ail-
ments arising from impure blood, an
inactive liver, or front a run-down
system. Being composed of iron, in
the most assimilable form fBlaud’s
Mass), and supplemented by other
important blood, nerve and alterative
tonics, these pills serve as an excellent
blood purifier, liver stimulant and
general reconstructing tonic all .con-
centrated in one. These pills are also
preferred because of their convenient
way of being taken, their perfect sol
ubility and because they are guaran-
teed to not discolor the teeth, nor up-
set the stomach.
Nervousness, impure blood, consti-
pation, sleeplessness, ° lazy liver, loss
of appetite, dizziness, sallow complex-
icn and that tired, lazy feeling yield
readily to the strengthening influ-
ence of Pep Systemic Pills.
Secure a box and be convinced that
Pep Pills are really superior to any
other tonic you have ever used.

WILL H. EVANS, Bonham, Texas.
Rockcastle, Kentucky, where the high-
wry has not been completed, Mr.
Robinson found it necessary to make
several impassible detours along
mountain trails. The Country Club,
however, made the.trip without mis-
hap of any kind and with only one
blcw-out, due to a "worn tire being
cut to pieces on the rocks.
The progress being made by the
committee in raising $50,000, to be
used with a like amount furnished
b\ the state highway department of
Kentucky for the removal of this
last barrier of five miles between
Rock Castle River and Livingston in
dicates, it is said, that all financial
arrangements for the completion of
the road will have been made within
30 days.
“The mountain counties of Ken-
tucky and Tennessee seem to have
grasped the bigness of the Dixie
Highway idea in a way which would
put some of the valley, communities
t shame,” said Mr. Robinson. “It
sends a thrill through you to see
miles of wonderfully well constructed
road along c-asy grades and curves
winding in and out through the
mountains.
“In the uncompleted portions of
the highway our Overland Country
Club had to be as surefooted and as
agile as the mountain goat. We
would climb up one Side of the
mountain, only to drop down to the
other side, traveling almost continu-
ously on locks, with an occasional va-
riation of what seemed to be a per
petual mud-hole. After a trip of that
nature onf wonders how it is possi-
ble to build the modern car so flex-
ible and so thorough!; as to with-
stand such punishment, making a trip
such as we did with a total garage re-
pair expense of one dollar.
“However, the completion of the
highway as now graded and. laid out
will make it possible for a car not
Only to make the trip without trou-
ble but on high gear practically the
