apples could be shipped.
THE apples will be delivered pro-

Governor Indorses Doctors Plan.
Important impetus was given at the
state capital to the plan originated by
DR.. John H. Quayle of Cleveland for
reclaiming for military service men
with durable physical defects.
1t developed while DR.. Quayle was
here that when he was in New York,
Lord Northcliffe, having heard of the
program proposed by DR.. Quayle, sent
for the surgeon to lunch with him and
explain the plan. Lord Northcliffe is
quoted as having called DR.. Quayle's
scheme one of the most valuable sim
gle ideas yet evolved to help win the
war.
Gov. James M. Cox gave strong in
dorsement of the plan. DR.. Quayle
came to the city early to confer with
Senator Atlee Pomerene, author of
the bill for large appropriation for
reclamation camps in which to work
out DR.. Quayle's system.
Gov. Cox discussed the idea at
luncheon with Brig. Gen. William R.
Smith. commanding officer of Camp
Sheridan, and Maj. Gen. E. F. Glenn,
commander of Camp Sherman.
Among other things achieved for
the Quayle plan, systematic pro-
gram of familiarizing the public with
the scope and purposes of the Pom
creme bill was started.
Gov. Cox said regarding the plan
that it impressed him as "a measure
not only worthy, but absolutely nee
essary to the attainment of our max
imum efficiency in war, as well as to
immeasurably increased efficiency in
those times Of peace for which civil
ization is fighting as well as pray
ing"
ITO adopt this plan," said the gov
ernor, will be to hand down to pos
terity an inheritance of health in
stead of disease"
