SO but by no means all Of thom have done
so. The fact is that ouT government has

the housewife is not doing her. part when
she buys undesirable commodities and
what she doesn't want simply because
she does not take the trouble to read the
labels.
Did you know that even a picture of a
maple leaf is not allowed to be used on the
label Of box Of confections that contains
no real maple sugar.
Some bottIers of inferior salad OILS
recently sought to misle,.d the public and
still not break the law by labelling their
bottles as olive oil. They used Lsb-4s
that said merely salad Oil " but showed

Now surely the housewife who WAS misled
by this label did not deserve much pity.

BUSINESS BALANCE.

A paragraph in a booklet for women
workers SAYS.
''First of. all you must have a free
virilc, healthy body. To thus must be
added Am alert. active mind, with as much
spiritual quality rs you can carry. You
must have faith in yourself and in others,
courage Ia face life, patience to work
and wait for success, and love for your
fellows"
Ii is n matter of record that the health
of women has greatly improved since they
entered the world of outside work. And
il is perhaps largely because business
halance means physical and mental well
bcing, and without business balance
YOU cannot succeed.
Business balance means several things.
Ii means a capacity to recognize your
limitations, and to know where you are
strong. IL means an ability to judge quick
w, 20 observe closely. A clear mind IS re-
uuircd for this, and clear mind needs q
healthy body TO support it. The sickly
woman cannot have business balance,
cannot function rs quickly and smoothly
as she must if she is TO make a success of
her work
Increasing knowledge is n big help IN
the direction of health. Women who are
in the world of business are not apt to be
fooled by Patent medicine ads. They realize
the worth Of plain, properly adjusted
diet They don't drink cup of tea and
eat box of candy and call the horror
lunch. They take a chop and n salad and
n glass of milk They know that they need
exercise, especially if their work is seden-
tary, and they walk, or belong to gymna-
sum. take swimming or play tennis: They
must have sufficient sleep and they do
not burn the candle at both ends. They
take the trouble TO learn the simple rules OF
hygiene, and TO follow them.
At least, the successful business woman
docs these things She has business balance
because she is well balanced as to herself.
She is never so busy that she cannot re-
AK. rest her soul and her body little
while during the day, refresh herself for
ten or fifteen minutes. She knows her
body is a machine the thing she must
work with throughout life, and she treats
1t with good sense and respect.
OF course all this is troublesome, but
IL pays 1t paws double dividend, that
Of business SUCCESS and that OF physical
well-bcing Isn't it worth while?

HIS BROTHER TOLD
HIM OF MEDICINE
Wilmington Man Was Infu-
enced to Try Plant Juice
Upon His Brothers
Advice.

When the blood rs deficient in the
number of red corpuscles, the patient Is
said to have anamia. 1t is often caused by
exhausting discharges other than blood
which attend many chronic diseases. The
treatment should always be restorative
and must be especially directed toward
improving the blood
Plant Juice, the new herbal stomach
medicine, Is especially beneficial IN anamic
conditions. Many have used it with
wonderful results. 1t puts the stomach
in perfect condition, causing the food to
assimilate, thereby enriching and pruify-
ing the blood.
Many local people have been restored
TO perfect health by the use of Plant
Juice since its introduction in Whining
ton, at The Miller Drug Store, 4o4-406
Market street, and daily give testimoIlals
as TO the wonderful benefit they We
derived.
One of the most recent IS that Of Mr.
Frank II. Meredith, OF No. 703 Washing
ton street, who has many friends here.
He said
81 took many medicines as I had been
suffering with my stomach and liver. but
was still suffering until mv brother who

told me what wonders Plant juice had
worked for him and so many Of his friends
had taken Plant Juice also with the same
fine results. had no appetite, and could
not digest the lIghtest kind OF food and it
would sour in my stomach and cause gas:

have this opportunity Of recommending

Juice"
The Plant Juice Man is at The Miller
Drug Store, 404-406 Market street. where
he is daily meeting the local public and

appendicitis before she WIS twelve.
They've got a nice little two-story house
with three rooms downstairs and three up,

her furniture in, and she looked reai
askance and said the house was furnished

that for lifting the spur of the moment
by both horns, Joe? Anyway, as Mrs.
Fink remarked, if that's the way they
fixed up their houses in Colonial tunes no
wonder the Indians showed a tendency
to stay out in the woods to be shot at

back, and his body being ground
INTO the earth and badly mutilated.
The accident occurred at 3 AS o'clock
at a point just east of the reserva-
talon and was witnessed by a num-
ber of officers and enlisted men at
the post. The cause has not been
definitely ascertained, although first
Investigations indicated it was due to
a defective joint in a casting which
bound the fusilage of the machine to
the planes.
The machine in which Blackler was
flying was Fokker machine, being
one of those surrendered to the
Allies under the terms of the ar
mlstlce and subsequently allotted to
the United States. He had been in
the air less than twenty minutes
when he met death, and only a short
time before was in Americus, going
from the city to the post in company
with Lieut.. Wolfe, who took a short
spin in the Fokker plane few min
utes before Blackfer started on his

came to Souther Field as an instruc-

TOXIC, May lI.-Yoshihito,
the mikado of Japan, is a dying
man. He is the last of the dynas-
tic autocrats. The car is dead {;
the kaiser in exile; the emperor of
Austria-Hungary is no more.
This is the first news of his des-
perate illness that has reached the
world. No Japanese newspaper has
even mentioned it; the law prohibits
them from commenting on such mat
ters relating to the royal family. But
have it today from the most relia-
BILE sources that he is now in mis- last
illness and that it is only a question
of short time before this mikado
will be gathered to his 121 fathers
who have ruled Japan before him.
Emperor Yoshihito's condition is
said to be pitiable. His ailment has
affected his brain and he is incapa-
Bile of attending to the simplest af-
fairs of state. even if he is able to
recognize those about him.
Only a few days ago, great con-
ference of imperial princes and elder
statesmen was held to discuss the
financial crisis in Japan. The con-
ference did not go to the imperial
villa. Unle ssYoshihito was entire
ly incapable, no such meeting could
have been held except under his chair
manship.
On April Is, new ministers from
Great Britain, Mexico and Czecho-
Slovakia presented their credentials.
For the first time on such an occasion
they were received by the crown
prince in place of the emperor.
The stricken ruler is living at the
imperial villa, located close to the
beautiful seashore village of Hayama.
The grounds are most carefully
guarded and heavy veil of secrecy
has been drawn about Yoshihito, even
inside the house itself, so that the
facts of his despairing condition shall
not leak out. However, many sto-
ries of his unbalanced actions and
habits are carried under the breath
from place to place owed the nation.
1t is possible that a regent may be
appointed if death does not come
shortly.

$4,000 RAISED
FOR HOMES FUND
Committee Expects To
Bring It To $45,OOO
By Tonight

Eighty per cent, or approximately
$4,000 of the $4,000 capital for
the Americus development company
which is being organized under the
Chamber of Commerce, was reported
raised at the noon meeting today OF
the new committee of solicitors, af-
ter active canvassing during the fore
noon. At 2 O clock the workers start
ed out again, hoping to complete their
canvass by this evening.
"The picking has been pretty hard,
and the subscriptions have come in
small amounts, for the most part" !"
said Chairman Sam Heys, "but we
hope to bring the total up to at least
S45,00 by tonight. This will leav 2
only $4,000 to go, and that should
be obtained by voluntary subscrip-
tions from citizens who have not sub
scribed yet or who have taken too lit
tie of the stock"
The new committee will make it's
final report to the main committee
Thursday morning at II o'clock at
the Chamber of Commerce. This
meeting will be held in conjunction
with the regular monthly meeting of
the board of directors, which was
postponed from this forenoon on ac-
count of the absence of members
from the city precluding a quorum.
At this meeting Of the directors
the Sumter county fair project, was
to have been endorsed for this fall,
will be taken up and probably active
ly put under way.
