 For instance, Mrs. Lula DeRoncey, of Weems, Ala, who is popular among a large circle of friends here. recently stated:
 For the past 10 years I have suf- fered from stomach trouble in the form of indigestion and would have terrible pains after eating. I could scarcely keep any food in my stomach. as it would ferment and cause gas to form. I would have such a choking feeling at times that could hardly get my breath I had such terrible dizzy spells that I felt as if would fall Over: had pains all through my body, could not sleep at night and felt weak and all rundown. I lost in weight and was reduced to skin and bonet started to take Plant Juice and ot great relief from the first few doses I took Since I have continued to take it I can honestly say that it has put me on my feet and feel like living again I eat all kinds of food and have a good appetite for my meals. I sleep well and have no more trouble with gas I have gained over four pounds in two weeks and I feel that I can honestly recommend Plant Juice to anyone as 1t did so much for me-"

That delightful and charming comedy success, "The Brat,' with magnetic Cecil Spooner will be the attraction at the Jer- ferson theatre Friday and Saturday, with matinee Saturday. This comedy success comes to this city direct from years $ run at the Morosco theatre, New York city, where 1t has also to it's credit en- agreements of four moAths in Chicago, three months in Boston and two months in Philadelphia. An unusual feature of the forthcoming engagement of this play is the fact that Miss Spooner will also appear in the title role, that of the Brat. As it is several seasons since she last appeared here, it should prove interesting to local playgoers as her appearance on the stage for the past few seasons mas been confined exclusively to her own theatre-the Cecil Spooner theatre, New York city-producing many new plays successfully, both artistically and finan- cially. The supporting players are said to be unusually clever and rare even ing's entertainment is assured.

 For decidedly, this new Aircraft pie ture, Johanna Enlists," taken from the story by Rupert Hughes, which received its premier at the Strand theatre yester- day, is decidedly the richest, newest, most delicate comedy dealing with mod ern days that have we have seen in a month of Sundays. And as for Cur Mary in the title role-well, one can go no further than to say she is perfection.
 The 143d field artillery, Mary's regi- ment, the one she adopted and continues the godmother of out in California, took part in the ensemble military scenes. Incidentally William D.I Taylor directed, and 1t is his last picture for some time, as he goes to England to be a soldier.
