Says Plant Juice Was the ! Only M e d icin e That } Reached His Case.
 Now Feels Fine

Many people think that because of the wonderful success that has attended the use of Plant Juice. the new herbal sys- tenn tonic, the case of stomach trouble and allied affections, it is for the treat- ment of these cases only. This is not true. All internal diseases diseases of nutrition of the system, of the stom- ach and bowels, blood vessels of the liver, the kidneys, rheumatism and of the blood, yield readily to Plant Juice, if 1t is possible to do so. Its field of use fulness has been most thoroughly tested and statements from thousands of grate- ful people who have been benefited from illness of long standing, but go to prove these contentious.

YOUNG MANS ACHIEVEMENT

The contractors who entered into ar- rangement with the government for the building of this plant are the DuPont Engineering company. This corporation has given other evidence of it's zeal and capacity fer very high efficiency upon government work since we entered into the war. But it is interesting to report that it is a young man, still under ID years of age. E. F. Johnson, who as resi- dent engineer, has directed the construc- tion of this plant who is to remain at the plant after all the units are completed and who is to be the chief operating eng ineer of an industry which is soon 10 turn out from 900,000 to 100000 pounds of smokeless powder day. This achieve ment brings MT. Johnson into promi- hence so that he is hereafter to be as- sociated with that remarkably capable and efficlent group of comparatively young men, almost all under 40, who as consulting engineers, have achieved so greatly in building up large plants tor the manufacture of munitions of war and explosives Of which the government stands in need of enormous quantities.
