Why Physicians Prescribe
Bitro-Phosphate.
For Weak Nerves
FRENCH SPECIALISTS CLAIM THIS
ORGANIC PHOSPHATE Is ACTU-
ALLY CONVERTED INTO LIN-,
ING NERVE TISSUE.

The rapid increase in the use by
physicians and nerve specialists of
the organic nerve building and easily
assimilated phosphate known among
druggists as Bitro- Phosphate is due
almost entirely to the remarkably
favorable results obtained by special
lists of worldwide fame and reputa-
ton. 1t is, therefore, only logical
that doctors throughout the country
should be urged wherever possible ITO
prescribe Bitro-Phosphate instead of
narcotic or stimulant habit-foTming &
drugs or alcoholic preparations in the
treatment of nervousness, neurasthe-
mia, sleeplessness, nervous debility,
lack of energy, mental depression,
etc.
Being n food which, according to
Robin and other French authorities is
actually assimilated and converted in
to living nerve tissue, Bitro-Phos-
phate, which is readily obtainable of
any druggist in the form of 5-grain
tablets, is strongly recommended for
the use not only Of those who suffer
as indicated above. but also to those
who wish to increase their nerve
powers Of endurance. 1t is especially
valuable to aviators, motorists, gun
ners and men in the various branches
of the army and navy, where strong,
steady nerves are of vital Importance.
Cut out drugs and alcoholic stimu-
lants. Take one 5-grain tablet of
Bitro-Phosphate with each meal and
note how quickly your entire being
begins to overflow with that vim,
v.gor and vitality which make life
truly worth living. 1t is sold in this
city by c. NJ. Forney, Geo. A. Gorgas,
II. c. Kennedy and all good druggists.

While German airmen were at

aviators penetrated the enemy aerial
defense on the western front and
dropped many bombs on towns and
factories in Germany and airdromes

England the Germans lost two ma

caused slight casualties-seven killed
and twenty-one injured. Calais,
France, was raided the same night,
but there were no casualties.
While the Russian soldiers on a
great section of the eastern front

with the Austro- Germans, there are
indications that the Bolsheviki gov

ing for the recall of certain members
of the constituent assembly in which

TAKE FIRST STEP
in FORMATION OF
WAR COMMITTEE
Plans ReadyNowFor Launch
ing Working Unit of
1900 Members

The committee of representative
businessmen of which william Jen-
nings is chairman, organized to form
an organization of l, 500 members to
do war work at home, met at $50
this afternoon to discuss the plans
that have been formulated by Mr.
Jennings.
The opinion in the city among
businessmen and citiZens is highly
favorable toward the proposed or
ganization, and Mr.. Jennings thinks
the time is ripe to carry out the
work.
The purpose of the meeting this
afternoon is to decide on the method
of making the call for the members
and the probable organization of the
great committee. The committee will
take part in the great drive for $4,000
new members for the Red Cross,
and the organization must be gotten
ready to take an active part in the
drive for the new members.
Mr.. Jennings stated this morning
that the organization of the commit
tee was an assured fact, and that II
would be no trouble to secure fifteen
hundred workers. He stated that in
q few days the complete number OF
workers can be secured. and given
their proper places in the organiza-
ton. No one will volunteer, the com
mittee will be composed entirely OF
men and women who are known to
be able to do the work for which they
are selected. There will be badges for
the members, and no one will retain
a badge that does not earn his right
to wear it.
Mr.. Jennings stated this morning
that he does not doubt that the plan
will be followed all over the country,
and that soon committees will be or
ganized in every city all over the
country in order that the people who
stay at home will be able to do, their
bit" for their country
