: PACK TWO THE WILMINGTON DISPATCH, FRjDAY AFTERNOON, MAKLn 1 3, I I o s-.r--.-v'v-'-- v - ! BROUGHT 10Y TO AN ELKS ELECT OFFICERS j War Sayings Society Formed at Annual Meeting j TAKES TO THE WATER BIG CONCRETE SHIP AGED GRANDMOTHER I: 11 Long Years of Suffering Had Made Her life Miserable. An aged lady of Durham, a grand mother past seventy-three, has re cently recovered her health after . years of suffering and wants the pub - lie, and her friends in particular, to know how she accomplished this al- most miraculous change in , her con dition. This venerable woman, Mrs. Julia, Sewell, living at 810 Rockboro St., says: "I have suffered for a long time with the worst form of indigestion, which caused pains all through my body. These pains would often keep me awake at night and cause me to get out of bed and walk the floor. " Sleep was impossible and I became so nervous that I could no: stand the slightest, noise. I lost what little strength I had and took no interest in . anything. .Everything that I ate hurt jne and I lost hope of ever being well again. I heard recently of the great number of people who were being benefitted by Peplac and I bought a bottle. The first few doses did me good, and now I am cured, at last, :, through this wonderful remedy. Ner vousness has now left me, my appe- tite has returned and I can eat any; " thing that I want without rndigestion. My sleep is good; I wake up refresh- .! d and strong, and it is a pleasure to P. me to dress my daughter's children v. and get them off to school. I hope " that any one who suffers the pain that . I did will learn of my experience and give .Peplac a trial." Peplac has proved especially bene ficial to aged people. Its tonic prop- - erties appear to be exactly what is needed to stimulate the organs of aged and infirm persons and restore bodily functions which- have become Inactive through advancing age. Peplac is sold and recommended at the R. R. Bellamy drug store, and by all leading drug stores in Wilming ton, and vicinity. Adv. Strength and How to Gain It Officers were elected for the ensu ing year at the annual meeting of Wil mington Lodge No. 352 Benevolent Protective Orders of Elks, held in their temple on North Front street last night. Another feature was the formation of a war savings club with Mr. W. S. Register as president and Mrs. James Owen Reilly as secretary. A collation was served in the dining room of the club immediately follow ing transaction of business and short talks were, made by several mem bers. Mr. W. S. Register was re-elected as exalted ruler and' was also named as representative to the Grand Lodgo meetins to be held In July at Atlantic City. Past Exalted Ruler H. E.

Tennis Oxfords at Peterson & Rulfs.' Largest Vessel of the Kind in - World Successfully, Launched A Pacific Port, March 15. So suc cessful was the launching here yes--terday of the world's largest rein forced concrete ship that her build ers announced they immediately would begin construction of 54 simi lar ships and expected that all would be completed ' within 18 months. Six weeks from the day the con crete was poured into the forma the 7,900-ton ship, chlstened "Faith," took the water. The huge hull, careening sharply as it slid sidewise down a steeply-pitched incline, threw up a huge wave in the narrow estuary, then righted sharply and rode like a buoy. Not a hitch marred the operation and engineers declared themselves so satisfied with the launching that it would be unneces sary, in their opinion, to give the Faith a trans-Pacific towing tryout,. as intended. Engines will be in stalled at once and the Faith put in to commission as rapidly as she can be fitted out, it was announced. Experts who witnessed the launch ing predicted that concrete construc tion would mark a new era in ship building and that the speed Vith which such ships could be turned out undoubtedly would have an import ant bearing on the Allies' successful prosecution of the war. EDENTON MERCHANT PUT ON BLACKLIST A "Soldier of the Soil" movement, with intent to enlist 25,000 boys for work on the farm, has been launched in Canada. YOUTH! YOUTH! INSTEAD OF EXERCISES. PATENT FOODS AND MEDICINES, TAKE - PHOSPHATE WITH YOU II I ) - MEALS. YOUTH! ' The demand today is for men and wo men who are strong: in ever.v sense of the .word possessing the physical strength necessary to endure hardships and fatljriw; the mental strength to grapple with diffi cult problems; the nervons force which en dows the body with rigor and vitality; the will power to triumph over adversity ana turn defeat into victory. But such glorious strength is lmpos iible so long as your nerves are wen and exhausted, and therefore if you wotilu be- really strong you must first care ".or your nerves. Weak, exhausted nerves 'need food, and for this purpose physicians strongly recommend the use of the organic phosphate known and sold by Bellamy, Green, Jarman and Futrelle and all goeu druggists as bitro-phosphate and put up in 5 gr. compressed tasteless tablets. If you feel your strength U falling from any cause, get a supply of these bitro pbopbate tablets and take one with every meaL Practically all of the minor ail ments afflicting mankind, as well as mauy of the more serious maladies, can be trac ed to nervous exhaustion and lowered vi tality, and probably this explain wliy such a remarkable improvement In th general health is invariably noticeable when bitro-phosphate isi taken as directed, as the nerves are thereby revitalized and made strong. Adv. the Best Part of a Woman's Life Why Should It Vanish So Quickly? Don't let your youth go! And abovo all, don't lose your youthful appear ance through old-fashioned prejudice. Women who a few years ago scorned the use of face powders or cosmetics now depend on them to keep a youth ful appearance. And this is equally true of the hair color restorer. Con stantly, more and more women are using Q-ban Hair -Color Restorer to keep their hair dark and glossy and free from gray. Q-ban is not a dye. This you can prove by trying it on your combings. Dyes stain them instantly but Q-ban has no immediate effect. Q-ban is simply a delightful toilet requisite for restoring the natural color of the hair. Q-ban does not stain the scalp, wash or rub off or prevent washing or waving the hair. Easily applied by brushing or combing through the hair. Sold by all good druggists every where on Money-Back Guarantee. Price 75c. Adv. (By George H. Manning.) Washington, D. C. March 15. J. Habit, of Edenton, N.

Farm er Farmer, being taken to the Fed eral prison at 'Atlanta, to serve a three-year sentence imposed upon him at Lynchburg, Va., upon convic tion of blockading, escaped from the officers in charge of him when their train stopped a, the station here late last night, according to a report made by the officers to the local po lice department, whose services were enlisted in a search for the prisoner. That farmers are today receiving for their wheat 40 per cent, of the money paid for the cash, loaf where as last year they received less than 20 per cent, of the price of the loaf, is "a recent announcement of the U. S. Food Administration. Elimina tion of hoarding and speculation, to gether with stabilization of prices, are responsible for the doubled share of the retail price farmers are now receiving. Thousands of cords of wood, useful for fuel, are rotting on the forest res ervations of New York because the constitution forbids their sale or removal. A little thrift now and thn i -rsi for the best of men, - any At a .recent hearing of the Federal Trade Commission there was introduced correspondence taken from the pri vate files of Swift & Company, which showed that the Company had been considering for some time an educa tional advertising cam The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for several years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business, relying on the fair mindedness of the American people. The feeling against the American packer is based largely on the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and consumer are adversely affected by the packers' operations, resulting in unreasonably large profits. Swift & Company's net profit is reasonable, and represents an insignificant factor in the cost of living. For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift & Company were as follows : Sales $875,000,000. Profits $34,650,000. This is eouivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500? If Sift & Company had made no profit at all, the cattle raiser would have received only Vs of a cent per pound more for his cattlo, or the con sumer would have saved only of a cent per pound on dressed beef.
