herbal stomach medicine, Plant
Juice, which is a combination OF ma
ture's own remedies - medicinal
roots barks, berries and blossoms
Daily testimonials arc received from
local people, telling Of the wonderful
benefit they have received from the
use of Plant Juice.
One of the most recent is that of
Mr.. John T. Leach, Sis Head street
who has many friends in Whining
ton. He said:
Il cannot begin to tell you of the
wonderful benefit L received from
Plant Juice. not only in my own case
but Of other members of my family.
I had suffered for years with stom-
ach trouble and was so bad that 1
had no desire to live. could not
keep any solid food in my stomach
and would be doubled up with pain;
I was constipated. had headaches,
dizzy spells and was so nervous that
I could not sleep at night. 1 had
tried everything in the shape Of
medicine but never received the
least benefit until 1 started to take
Plant Juice, upon the recommenda-
tion OF a friend who had been cured
by IL. Words cannot tell what won
derful benefit 1 had. / am now able
TO eat my meals with a relish, sleep
fine at night and have not a pain or
an ache; l am not nervous any more
and sleep like a child at night.
feel like a young man again, and my
work does not tire me as Il did. My
two grandchildren. who were weak
and puny took Plant Juice and you
would hardly know them now as it
has made strong, healthy youngsters
of them. Plant Juice is the best IN
vestment / ever made and 1 am sure
others will find the same relief
did"
The Plant Juice man is at the
Miller Drug Store 404-406 Market
street, Wilmington, where he is
daily meeting the local public and
introducing and explaining the
merits OF this remedy. Free sam

SAYS MAN-MAKES
MANY DISEASES
u. S. Public Health Service
Declares MuchNSickness
Can be Avoided
TYPHOID FEVER
CAN BE PREVENTED

'Many Of the diseases that afiict
man may almost be said to have
been made by him." says the United
States Public Health Service. in a
letter to the State Board OF Health.
''for they are spread almost alto
gether by his disregard Of the sim
plest rules Of sanitary living.
Typhoid fever. for instance" /"
continues the letter. sis spread by
the contamination of water, milk,
and food by human filth which has
been run into rivers or wells or left
exposed for flies TO carry to the
kitchen, or dining room. or which
even more disgustingly is carried
to food directly from soiled hands.
"Hookworm disease and other in
testinal diseases are spread. to some
extent at least, by the States which
allow road-building gangs to work
under conditions which too often
compel Them to scatter pollution 10
be carried by flies to their own
kitchens or to be ground into the
soil to be picked up by the bare feet
of children. Practically all hook
worm disease is due to soil pollution.
Malaria, too, is often spread by
the ignorance and carelessness with
which mosquito-breeding places are
created or disregarded. Borrow-pits,
dug to obtain stone for road work
and other needs and left to fill with
water. furnish homes for thousands
of wigglers, culverts improperly
placed produce pools that are equal
ly prolific; bitches that are clogged
and never cleared out are popular
and populous; railroad and other
embankments that stop or check
the flow Of water create conditions
that are ideal-from the mosquito
point of view
"Dr. T. +. Abercrombie. health
officer Of Georgia, has suggested that
the convict and other gangs who
work along the roads be required to
NIL up borrow-pits place culverts
properly, clean bitches. and attend
to other small but important details
that any man can do and that will
deprive the mosquito OF many of her
breeding places.
ITO accomplish this. along the
roads is more important than it may
seem, for a mosquito hatched at the
roadside does not have to wander in
search of food; all she has to do
is to wait for food to come to her.
Moreover, IL she is Of the anophc-
line species, which spreads malaria.
she has excellent chances both to
acquire the malaria germs and to
pass them along. Until she bites
someone who has the disease, her
bite, though no more pleasant than
that Of any other mosquito, is not
any more dangerous. But a single
malaria patient, driving along a
ditch-bordered. mosquito-infected
road, may provide hundreds of the
insects with germs which they may
pass on to every traveller along that
road.
Or Abercrombie. by making the
roads Of Georgia safe for man, may
materially reduce the malaria haz-
ard of the State. and. according to
the Public Health Service. his ex-
ample deserves to be followed"

is asserted that the reason for such
large number of persons who visit
this place daily is because OF the eN-
cellent cooking and the homelikc

work throughout the entire world.
They contend that il should be the
duty of every young woman to asso-
ciate herself with an Organization of
this kind and make the association in
Wilmington as successful as it is in
other larger cities.
One-third of the money asked for
has been subscribed already. The
captains and team workers are hope
ful of raising the entire amount
within the prescribed time. While
several large amounts have been
subscribed the team workers gladly

Defer naming
new TEACHERS
Question Raised Whether
Present Board Can Bind
Incoming Members
MUST HAVE BUDGET
READY BY APRIL 25

Members Of the Board of Educa-
lion last night voted down a sugges-
ton by Dr. clifford J. Scott. superin'
tendent OF schools. that the teach
ers' committee name the teachers foi
the next school term. The suggestion
made hy DR.. Scott was vigorously op-
posed BY DR.. c. A. Beck. Shermer
stradley and oscar c. Draper. They
contended that Il would be illegal for
the present board to enter into
contract for teachers or supplies for
next years term. Furthermore, they
contended that such action would
hamper the incoming board to be
elected at large under recently
passed law.
While the discussion was on, Dr.
scott said that in the face OF d.
vided opinion Of the members, he
would like TO have the matter drop
ped. President Rohnmel suggested
that the question be referred to City
solicitor Huxley, but when the mo-
ton of Mr. Draper to defer action
was put it was carried.
DR.. Scott said he anticipated 30
vacancies in the teachers stan and
he was prepared at this time to name
seven new teachers.
DR.. IT. o. Cooper Of the teachers
commntee. said Il had been GUS
tomarv for the teachers TO be named
in June OF each year and he did not
know Just what would be done in the
matter.
Superintendent Scott explained the
present school law which provides
for the local board to present its
burget for the next two years. He
explained that this was to be ready
by April 25 and 1t was decided 20
hold a special meeting next Monday
night.
Dr. Scott said the new State school
law passed by the Legislature re-
auired the budget. This must be pre-
pared for consideration by the Legis-
lature before the enactment of the
school appropriation bill. which has
been set for May 9. The superinten-
dent pointed out that under the new
seven member Board of Education
bill the board will be required to
submit to City Council in May a
budget covering the difference be-
tween the amount asked for from the
State and that allowed.
