PLANT JUICE HAS
RESTORED HEALTH
Baltimore Man Relates How
His Wife Suffered With Her
Stomach and Rheuma-
tisrn.

Plant Juice is proving that it is truly
a specific for stomach trouble. 1t exercises
the greatest restorative effect IN the
stomach. vet it is effective IN the liver.
kidneys and with rheumatism Indigestion
and constipation and their attending evils
disappear before its powerful regulating
influences; it gives one a good appetite
and sound digestion and brings back the
flush of health to pale cheeks. When ma
ture calls for assistance. il is needed
quickly and it must be remedy that builds
up, not tears down-that leaves no after
effects.
That this is the logical effect Of Plant
Juice is attested by the testimonials Of
well-k nown Baltimore people, who have
been restored to health by the use of this
famous remedy.
For instance, Mr.. Harry G. Murray.
who lives at 1922 Maldeis street, Balti-
more, tells in the following signed state
ment how his wife was relieved of bad
case of stomach trouble by Plant Juice
He said:
MY wife had suffered for wears with
her stomach and rheumatism; she had ter
rihle pains in her limbs and back and was
greatly troubled with shortness Of breath
she could not sleep at night on account OF
the pain she suffered; she got so bad that
she could not even 90 out to the neighbor-
ing store without resting on some ones
front steps, on account Of not being able
to get her breath. She had pains in her
limbs and was in a constant state OF
misery. She had taken all kinds of diff
ferent medicines, but never got anv
permanent relief until she began to take
your Plant Juice. She isnow able to get
about all over and has no pain Of any kind
She sleeps well at night and is glad to
recommend Plant Juice to others who
suffer as she did
The Plant Juice Man is at The Mile

hundred thousand pounds, with nearly
900 wholesale customers.

necessary. the Poole Shop site. south of
Front street at the foot of Orange, has been
acquired and will be remodeled for the
purpose =,
While the proposition is one which could
be- readily financed through ordinary bank
mg channels MIR kurtz said, IT was the
purpose of MIR Matthes to give first
unportunltv to those who, rs customers,
have helped build up the business, to
become financially interested by the
purchase of stock and they had therefore
been assembled as a token of confidence
and ~ enable 'hem 10 take advantage of

THE GIRL ON THE JOB.
BY Jessie Roberts.
1920. by Wheeler Syndicate inc.
UNUSUAL PROFESSIONS.

II is interesting in considering the work
of women to note some OF the unusual
professions in which she is interested. 1t
is a help to many of us who are not per-
haps quite content with the row we are
hocing, to get lookout to the job OF the
other woman. And when this job is out
of the ordinary it may hold a suggestion
by which we might profit.
Take the case of Mrs. Adele b. Price.
Mrs Price is one of the important
officials of the famous Santa Fe Railroad
company, and there is no one else just like
her, no one doing precisely her type OF
work. She has created the work largely
herself, broadening the scope of lit, In
creasing its human quality.
One time n music teacher, Mrs. Price
is now harmony promoter. 1t rs her Iob,
to travel all over the Santa Fe system and
go to the root of any complaint that may
be complained by any woman employe OF
the company. Maybe it is just girl
telegraph operator in tiny desert station
who, overtaken by desert loneliness, be-
gins to find fault with the universe as n
whole and the company as a special
object Maybe it is threatened strike
bv car washers There are many women
working for the railway in many different
capacities, and they get dissatisfied for
many causes, some reasonable, some not.
1t is UP to Mrs. Price to smooth out the
difficulty and restore harmony. She has
inaugurated various reforms, and sug-
gested various services, such as the travel
ing libraries now sent from station to
station, providing books for the lonely
women in the lonely little houses along
the vast mileage of the railway. She sue
ceeds where no man could so much as find
out that there was trouble brewing In
restoring a feeling of content in the en-
ploye and of saving the company much
loss and annoyance. The women like her
