Only Two Members Left The Order Of Merit Remains
Looker-On notes in the London Daily Chronicle that after Marshal Foch’s death only one officer from France remains eligible for the Order of Merit, Marshal Joffre, with Count Togo of Japan as the other foreign member. No British soldier currently wears the Order, and Marshal Foch’s passing leaves only one foreign Field-Marshal in the British army, King Albert of Belgium, who was granted the rank by King George eight years ago. Miller’s Worm Powders are described as a cure for children with intestinal worms, claimed to rapidly alter stomach conditions, expel worms, and tonify digestion to prevent future disorders.
