Strong Testimonial for

Medicine
THEY HAD THOUGHT
THERE WAS NO HELP

Ask any one OF a dozen OF your
acquaintances who have reached or
passed the middle age OF life how
they feel. At least one will say; Il
am not at all well lately. I guess
am wearing out-stomach seems
TO have gone back on me. I am
getting along. you know. nearing
forty" Think Of how many men and
women you know who are old at
forty, even al thirty-hve. when they
should be just In the heyday Of their
prime. Most OF them are old be-
cause their stomachs have aged be-
fore their bodies they are worn out
because their stomachs are worn out
Plant Juice, the famous herbal
stomach medicine, has kept thou
sands Of stomachs from wearing out
before their time-has made them
like new. and their owners now feel
like new men and women.
One Of tho latest to give a signed
statement for Plant Juice Is Mrs.
Emma Simpson, a well-known Will
mington lady, residing at No 729
Gray street. who has a host OF
friends She tells how Plant Juice
restored her husband to health, as
follows
plant Juice brought the most
wonderful benefit to my husband
when he had about given up all
hope OF ever being we'll again. He
had indigestion so bad that he could
not keep the lightest kind Of food
in his stomach and he suffered such
pain from gas that he could never
sleep at night; he got so nervous and
run down that he could hardly get
around; his blood was In bad con-
dition and he had pimples and boils
all over his body; his skin was so
itchy that he was continually
scratching II and was in misery all
the time. He had tried about every
thing in medicines and treatments,
but never got any benefit until he
began 10 take Plant Juice. The
bolls and pimples have all disap-
peared; he has a fine appetite for his
meals. sleeps well at night and is no
longer constipated. Plant Juice has
built his system right up and We
cannot say too much in praise OF IT,"

| MOSCOW. April 24-No new po-
litical parties can be legalized in
Russia for a number of years and the
communist party must continue to
keep Its ranks closed, except to those
strictly sympathetic with the dicta-
torship of the proletariat, G. E.. Zii1o-
Wen told the last session Of the all
Russian communist party congress.
Zirovief is head Of the third inter-
rationale. president of the Petrograd
provincial soviet, one of Premier
Lenin's closest friends and the author
of Lenin's biography.
Our party has the monopoly of
legality" he said. The danger of
this monopoly is that a number of
people are getting into the party who
would go into the petty bourgeoisie
parties If such, existed"
NJ. Zinovieff said 1t would be diff
cult to clear out this element Of the
party, but, as the labor class must
do in" the bourgeoisie. the party's
restoring Russia. should not permit
any unripe measures that would lead
to therestoration of the mensheviki
or other bourgeoisie.
More serious attention must also be
paid to the press. NJ. Zinovieff de-
clared, as the bourgeoisie writer's are
trying to get an independent press
and even journalists registered as
employees of the newspapers now per-
mitted to operate (all government
controlled) are mostly Of, the old in

Of China through reforms in sd-

slowly being accomplished, accord
ing to Jacob Gould Schurman, Am
erican minister to China who is here
to attend the wedding Of his daugh-
ter.
1.-THE Washington conference
gave China large concessions" MT.
Schurman said, "and 1t is now up
!! to the people Of China to reap the
benefit of those concessions by re-
storing a stable, united and efec-
tive government.
"China must disband her rival
armies or reduce her troops and
bring her irresponsible chieftafns
together in. harmony before a true
start on the new China will be
made. Separate armies DOMINATING
and interfering with the eentshl
government are proving the biggest
stumbling block to China.
"China is suffering also from in.
adequatc public revenues. The ma
tional treasury is empty and bel
creditors are crying for money. Ad'
ditional revenue are needed, but ]
see no reason why the raising Of
adequate funds throughout a good
system Of taxation could not be &C.
complished."
