pounds Of -four, 10000 pounds OF sugar,
10000 pounds Of butter, 10000 pounds
Of vegetables and 10000 pounds of con-
densed food.
While this will he the most gisan-
tic scale on which airplanes have been
used for feeding country, yet the
system Is not entirely new.
During the war it was successfully
used by the British in carrying food
10 their troops in Mesopotamia, Pal
estine and Macedonia. In November.
1917, during the French offensive
against the Chemln des Danes r was
used by the Germans. A detachment
Of their troops. completely encircled,
was kept supplied with food by air
planes that dropped baskets containing
bread, kraut, canned meat and other
supplies.

TISSUE BUILDING

Tissue is the doctors name for body cells
II is TO our bodies what coal is to an engine,
Every day we burn up certain amount of tissue
Therefore new tissue must be built to take the
place of the lost fuel
The food we eat makes this new tissue and IN a
healthy person gives enough fuel to replace the loss
People get thin and run down because they do
not get enough nourshment from their food to sup
ply the needed fuel,
When the weakened system does not do its duty
YOU must have tissue builder" Father sJohn's
Medicine is real tissue builder because II actually
makes new flesh and tissue
When you take Father Johns = ,licine the actual
food elements of which it is composed give you new
strength and enable the organs of the body to re-,
sumo their work.
Father Johns Medicine soothes and heals throat
and lungs treats colds bronchitis asthma,
People gain weight steadily while taking it,
