 Plant Juice, the new herbal system tcnic, being manufactured from medi- cinal plants, roots, herbs. parks and flores, stands without rival as a rem ody for ills of the stomach. 1t often re- lieves indigestion and dyspepsia with the first dose
 One of the most interesting statements made is that of Mrs. Annie Brown, of Tbirty-fifth avenue. Sayreton, a suburb of Birmingham, who is popular among large circle of friends there. as well as in this city. She said:
 For the past two years I have suf- fered from stomach trouble in the form of indigestion and dyspepsia; I could not keep the lightest kind of food in my stomach as it would ferment and cause gas to form-the only food I ate was a little toast and tea; could not sleep at night and was in constant misery. was very nervous and tho least little thing would upset me. I heard of Plant Juice, and although I had been under treatment and tried many different medicines, l decided to give it trial. I am now glad to say for the benefit of others who suffer, that am a we'll woman--entirely restored to health once more. I have no more aches or pains and sleep fine at night. I am able to do my own house work now. I feel that I can honestly recommend Plant Juice"

The men lost were on the torpedoed British steamer Tuscania and Moldavia. The former was taking troops from Amer ica to England and the latter from England to France.
 The comparatively small number of men dying from wounds is pointed to as indicating the efficiency of tie ambulance and hospital systems. while the fact that only 1234 men have died of disease is accepted as proof of the excellent physical condition of Amer ica's fighting men
 Another satisfying consideration is that of the wounded men very high

Des Moines. May 21.-The state de-

other letter to forward to county Of
acials in the majority of the counties
for more specific information as TO
whether or not the road patrol is being
enforced. Replies received by Attor-
new General Havner to the letter sent
out about month ago have in many
instances been too evasive to satisfy
the state official.
Where the law is being put into eff
feet it is producing satisfactory results
reports received here state. County En-
gineer j. L. Parsons, of Webster coun-
ty, is quoted as saying that the system
is getting good results in that county.
"The system is proving out fine ana
producing results" he states. 1T is
the only way by which we can check
up the work on the county's road
system.
Heretofore bad spots might exist on
roads for considerable length Of time
without coming to the attention Of the
supervisors or myself and even when
Informed OF the matter it was some
times a question of obtaining men to
repair the road. With the present sys-
tenn each road patrolman is held re-
sponsible for the condition OF the roads
In his territory and must either fix
them, or If help is needed. obtain the
help and'repair the road"
The road patrol law. passed py the
last general assembly. went into effect
the LIST OF July last year. Inasmuch
as this was an especially busy time and
men were scarce county boards were
not urged to put the law into imredi-
ate effect. However, 1t was expected
that with the opening up of spring this
year road patrolmen would be put to
work on the principal roads IN all of
the counties OF the state. The attor-
uey general says this Is not being done
and that the law should be enforced.

It took O.. lot Of backache and bis
tiers and frostbite to clear this snow
bound western world Of drifted OBJ
struction, making 1t safe for travel,
secure for the daily affairs Of life.
Those two great January storms
created a desperate situation-one
that had to be met and overcome.
Everybody suddenly had the same
idea-a strong shovel, willing heart
and cheerful disposition.
There was nothing else to do.
We had to be free. -
And we were.
Every patriot in the middle west
who had shovel and backbone got
out and used them.
Lot lines didn't count, for we were
fighting a COMMON enemy.
The shovellng spirit thrilled us, en-
masse-no one stopped to be saluted
or introduced-no one stopped to
theorize-no one claimed exemption or
superiority. We Just asserted our
right Of way-and dug 1t.
So, here is freedom-to go or come.
It was a great lesson in united ac-
don, convincing example Of the soil
darity Of human interest, a reassuring
experience in loyalty to the cause Of
common welfare. It was an American
demonstration.
The Stacker was thoroughly un-

shoveling off his walk.
It was a worthwhile storm.
Men met each other In these neigh

their hearts.
Over the white-blocked barricades
of snow, head high and miles in length,
they were seeing those Redeemed, sand.

themselves struggling manfully against
Alpine avalanches Of steel and bliz-

mankind be not obstructed forever by
any brutal drifts Of hate or selfshness.
The roar Of the Arctic terror. these
neighbors knew when the storm broke
upon their unpreparedness was as
nothing to the scream Of shells and the
thunder of artillery they are hearing
