SAYS SHE KNOWS
GOOD HEALTHNOW
Miss Belle Stuart, of Ballston,
Va, Says Plant Juice Has
Restored Her Health.

Changing conditions have made all of
US more or less susceptible to mach
disorder and its kindred ailments CiviIi-
zation has forced people to get rich food
rendered appetizing by stimulants, to live
in smoky cities, and to never walk when
they can ride. No wonder that they are
susceptible to stomach ailments, which
act like firebrand on the entire sys-
tenn, with the result, that the liver kid
neys and intestines all become injected
Plant Juice, the new herbal stomach
remedy, supplies the body with the nat
ural inorganic salts, which destroy the
poison germs and build I'D the wasted
tissues.
Many Incidents where remarkably quick
results have followed the use of this rem
coy are being cited daily by local people,
IN signed testimonials. One of the latest
Is that OF Miss Belle Stuart, who is a
popular lady, residing at Ballston, Va,
(P. o. Box 125). She states:
For years I have been a great suffer-
er with nervous indigestion and nv food
fermented in my stomach and caused gas
TO form; what little food could eat did
me no good whatever, and became very
weak and badly run down. I had palpi-
tation OF the heart so bad that I became
very much alarmed as I thought I had a
chronic case Of heart failure Nv liver
was affected, which made me very dizzv
at times. and was so nervous that I
could not sleep at night. 1 was SO bad
with rheumatism could not raise my
hands up to my head. and was unable to
dress myself. had tried everything in
the shape Of medicine in the homes of
finding something to relieve me, but MOTH
ing seemed to help me until started tn
take your Plant Juice. It has made a
new woman Of me; can eat any kind
OF food without the slightest distress. i
sleep well and have no more trouble with
rheumatism. I am recommending Plant
Juice to every one I meet for It is GER
tafnly a wonderful medicine"

DOZEN PUT ON SCENT DIET.

Chicago, Nov. H.-Twelve heroic indi-
viduals. six men and six women, en-
ployes of the city health department, ate
their Thanksgiving dinner yesterday and
then gT've their solemn words to eat
nothing for two weeks but the scientific
diet provided by a public economy com
mission. They will attempt to demon
strate the theories OF the commission
that the high cost of living is due in a
great degree to the apparent willingness
Of the public to pay any price demanded
for its luxuries. and that the public's
health. as well as its purse, would be
Improved by an Intelligent diet.
John Dill Robertson, health commits
sioner, says he expected to feed the twelve
for so a week, or at a trife more than

fRATS' MAY ENJOIN
BOARD OF EDUCATION
Secret Societies Declared Antagonistic
to Authorizes.

High school fraternities and sororities
tend to antagonize educational author
tiles, It was contended by pleaders for
the abolishment OF the system, who ap-
peared yesterday before the special COM
mittee appointed by the Board Of
School. Should the board order the So
cieties to disband, It is said, the courts
will be asked to enJoin such action.
1t was charged that "frats' had in
their power the machinery" to oppose
the school system. The assertion was
made that while the fraternity element
in the schools represents only twenty
five per cent of the enrolment, It Is
strong enough to control the remaining
seventy-five per cent Of students.
william 7. Galliher presided as chair
man Of the COMMITTEES. It was one of
the first Of a series Of meetings which
will hear the issue. Many hearings will
be given before a decision is reached.
Opposition to fraternities is regarded
with -disfavor by the parents of many
pupils. it Is said. 1t is believed that
many citizens associations will take
sides in the controversy before It is
ended and there have been strong hints
that fraternities will seek legal recourse
II the school authorities attempt to
eliminate them.
Roy c. Clafiin presented a recon-
mendation OF the High School Teachers
Union opposing fraternities as injurious
to the best interests Of the school system.
The Central Labor Union also con-
demned the "frats." Robert Jones, who
presented the position of the union, said
secret societies create class distinction
among the students. While initiation
fees and dues average only about s..
the average annual cost of belonging to
frat" becausa of MANY Social func-
tons, amounts to seo he said.
Rene Samson. a teacher IN Central
High School, said fraternities combine to
control school elections
L. V. Lampson. president of the
Athletic Association OF Central High
School. charged that the democracy of
the association has been jeopardized
by fraternities.
W. c. Myers. a teacher in the Nc
Kinley School voiced an objection against
fraternities. as did a number of other
teachers.

In the letter which appeared in

couple of weeks ago was the state
ment that neither Mr.. Van Houten
nor any other man in the Office could
help the farmers in their greatest
problems, and would not be allowed
to hold his Office if he tried to-" It
has raised the question, why?
We might ask, why will not our
county commissioners use the agents

chase stumping powder, lime rock.
etc., for the farmers, selling it to
them at cost? Why would they not
be allowed to hold their Office if they
did? The cases are parallel and
must have the same answer: 1t con-
flicts with business interests, and
they will not permit it-that's why.
All the wealth of the world comes
originally from the earth. This fact
stands without argument. To wrest
it from the soil is mining, lumber
ing, farming, etc., to make the most
out of these materials with the least
possible outlay-that's business"
The interests of farmers and bust
