ing order, not ony to drive out the poi
son left by the disease, but that the pa
tient shall regain strength as soon as
possible to avoid further attacks result
ing from the pOisOns in the system.
As a means toward good health after
any illness Father Johns Medicine

Motor highways to be marked with
memorial trees for the soldier dead is
the plan being urged by the American
Forestry association as Il suitable way
to mark the memory of the heroes OF
the war. +. s. Ridsdale, secretary of
the association. says that the plan is
being taken up by mnny cities and
towns and the movement is assuming
countrywide proportions. The Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs has
taken up the suggestion for the Lin
coin highway.
"A Victory oak or Il Victory elm
would certainly be the most apprOpri-
ate way to remember Our soldier dead"
said Charles LathrOp Pack, the presi'
dent of the American Forestry assOcia-
tion. "The motor has played a big part
in the war and it would be a very fine
thing for the highway associations to
take up this plan. Wood, too. has
played a big part in the war and our
stocks must be replenished. If each
state will cooperate in this movement
