This grateful statement was made to
The Plant Juice Man, who is known the
country over because of his unique
health theories, when he was at Toledo,
Ohio. recently by Mrs Mary NJ. Martin,
of 1885 Airline avenue, Toledo. Con-
tinuing, Mrs Martin said:
IL felt that there was no relief for me
and was Just so discouraged. For several
years my kidneys had been disordered
and suffered from just such bad pains
in my back. My stomach troubled me so
that nearly everything / ate made me
sick. / had awful pains in my arms and
limbs and they caused me such misery
that ] could not sleep. l kept taking
medicine after medicine but it seemed
that nothing would help me.
II am so grateful to Plant Juice for
it has made different woman of me
and feel years younger. The terrible
pains that caused me such misery have
disappeared and can sleep all through
the night now without waking-some-
thing 1 had not been able to dofor years
I am able to eat anything | care for and
enjoy my meals.
II think Plant Juice is just wonderful
and I'm glad to give this statement
recommending it."
People who take Plant Juice declare
that it works almost like magic in csset

disorders. Try this new herbal remedy.

SUBURBAN SHOPPING
DAYS ARE DEFERRED
Mercantile Section of c. of C..
Makes Plans to Boost Trade
in City Stores.

Members OF tho mercantile section
OF the Chamber OF Commerce met at
a dinner In the clubroom of the Hotel
du Pont last evening and discussed
plans to increase the business OF the
retail stores of tho city. Much routine
business was also transacted.
Horace T.. Warrington. chairman of
the mercantile section. was unable 10
be present and John j. Powell was
chosen to preside.
After considerable discussion IL wae
decided to defer suburban shopping
days. Conditions wero not favorable
enough at the present time to warrant
tho expenditure of large sums In adj
vertising in the rural sections of the
county In order 10 attract rural buyers
However, the idea of suburban chop
ping days was not abandoned COM
pletely and the suggestion OF Mr.. Fred
II. Steinle to discuss the problem again
about September was approved.

ers. district manager of District No.

SCHOOL HISTORIES.

Editor Every Evening: wonder
II the citizens of Wilmington know
the kind of history that is being used
in our public high schools. They
claim to give the history OF the whole
past OF mankind" But this is Just
what they do not do. Any history
that gives no account Of Christ, no
mention Of His life except to call Him
Jesus. a Hebrew teacher" Is not Civ
ing even some knowledge OF the
whole past" There is no mention of
the fact that Christ claimed TO be
the Son of God; no summary Of His
teachings. The Gospels are called
-four leading biographies Of Jesus in
Greek, which come to be regarded
as authoritative while Mahomed and
Islam are given several pages, ending
with the lament that 'it is difficult to
say whether It was a good thing or
bad thing that the Mshometans did
not get control OF a portion of Gaul."
Any history that omits mention OF
Ireland, of her schools for eighteen
centuries. and only in the reign of
Elizabeth and in the time OF Cromwell
| u NiN SNdNtS Nildl the AdlNOlCS or ire
land were prosecuted, is not giving a
history Of the whole past"
Neither is the whole past" OF our
own country in its relations with
Europe accurately related Patrick
Henry argues that taxation without
representation may have its merits
but they are not stated; George Wash
ington is mentioned as a Virginia
planter. the party that favored in
dependence was at first a minority
the Americans found It no easy task
TO win the war. despite the fact thai
the military operations OF England
were carried on with little vigor.
4 These are more than enough rea
sons for saying that such history
should not hAve a place among tn,
text books Of our schools. 1t doe
not give a knowledge, not even som,
knowledge, Of the whole past
rather 1t omits much that should b,
known by every child that studies
history. The books do not give tn
whole truth, therefore they are no
history

contain the following: A copious anal

Ing Impression. which has manifested
