Dear DR.. Wentworth:

From a Medical Doctor.
Dear DR.. Wentworth:
I wish to express my graft
tude for the great help you
have been to me. For the last
IL years I have suffered with
diabetes and on November
18th, 1910, had a stroke of
apoplexy, losing partly, the
use of my left side. March
LIST, of this year, I commenced
to take treatments from you.
According to my own and
other physicians analysis of
my urine contained at time 4
per cent of sugar and per
cent of albumin. Today, after
careful analysis, my urine is
normal in every respect. My
left side is normal also. I
thank you, and shall always
remember you as my friend
and helper.

Adoo's Plan.

Columbia.-Charity moves in divers
and mysterious ways to catch the pub.
lie ear and incidentally the sensitive
nerves of the pocketbook.
One O fthe latest Of these, unique
in character, il somewhat ludricous, is
a campaign to procure an ancient shirt
from all the governors of the various
states.
From the tails Of these veteran gar
ments, kitchen aprons are to be mani.
featured and sold at public auction.
The entire proceeds will go to the
Red Cross. The movement was init.
ated in Des Moines. Iowa.
Governor Manning, in answering the
request for the "cast off" garment, ex-
planned that he was obeying the in
junction Of William Gibbes McAdoo,
secretary Of the treasury, "to wear
half soled shoes and half soled shirts"
simultaneously exhibiting an aperture
near the shoulder (?) in the shirt he
then had on, which much resembled a
shell crater. The letter to the gov
ernor follows:
"Des Moines, Iowa. and her interests
are rather far removed from Column
bia, II the State Of South Carolina;
but we are hoping to interest you per-
sonally in a campaign which our paper
will launch the first of June.
THE purposes back of the campaign
are at once patriotic and news pro-
ducing.
Our plan is to sell at a large pub
lie auction In Des Moines kitchen
aprons made from the shirt tails of
famous men. The entire proceeds will
be turned owe to the Red Cross.
1T is our desire to secure a cast off
shirt from the governor Of each state
in the Union. We are wondering il
you have a shirt which has outworn
Its usefulness as a shirt, that you will
mail to the auction editor, The News,
Des Moines, Iowa. We understand, of
course, thai similar requests reach
you often and must meet with almost
automatic efusal. But we urge the
patriotic purpose back of our campaign
and picture for you the publicity pos.
sible for our sale, should every gov.
ernor respond.
If you comply with our request,
may we ask that you have the gar
ment identified in some manner and
mail within the mex couple Of days
