SAYS PHOSPHATES MAKE BEAU
T1FUL WOMEN AND STRONG,
HEALTHY, VIGOROUS, RO-
BUST MEN
Physicians all over the world are pre-
scribing phosphates to build up run
down enemic conditions and those
who have treated their patients
with Argo-Phosphate are chan
ging thin enemic women with
toneless tissues fabby iesl
into the most beautiful
rosy checked and plump
round formed women
imaginable
Atlanta, Ga. DR.. Jacobson said in a
recent interview that 80 per cent of en-
emia comes from nervous breakdown
which can only be corrected by supply
ing the necessary phosphates to the
nervous system that is lacking in the
food you eat, and this can be quickly
supplied by taking one or two 5 grain

and at bed time. It will in many cases
make a pale scrawny face the picture
of health in a few days. I have seen
women that I expected would have to
be kept under treatment for months
restored to perfect health in one or two
weeks time.
SPECIAL NOTICE. The Argo-Phos-
plate recommended by DR.. F. H. Jacob
son contains phosphates such as are
prescribed by leading physicians throu-
ghout the world, and it will be found
the most effective form for treating pa
tients with Nervous Dyspepsia, Stom-
ach troubles, Brain Fag and Nervous
Prostitution. It will renew youthful
! vim and vigor, and build up the whole
body. If your druggist will not supply
you with Argo-Phosphate, send $l.o(

YOUNG MEMS BUSINESS CLUBS
CONVENTION
Postponed to a Date in 1918 To Be
Agreed Upon By National Body
and Lamar Iambas

The following extract from a letter
received by President i. NJ. Markham
of the local Y. NJ. b. A. from the ma
tional president, Mr.. Howard S. Will
liams, of jackson, Mississippi, will
explain itself:
81 have purposely delayed replying
to your letter of June LIST until l had
a chance to know the result of the
referendum vote which l had taken in
regard to postponing the convention
this year. have now received vote
from a majority of the officers, di-
rectors and clubs, in favor of post
ponement, which means that we will
not meet this year but will meet in
your good town next year unless post
ponement is again advisable.
mo one regrets more than | the
circumstances that make it advisable
not to meet this year, for we knew
what was in store for US in your good
town of live wires"
While Lamar regrets that it will not
have the privilege Of entertaining the
national convention in August, yet we
recognize under the existing war con-
ditions the wisdom of the postpone
ment of the convention, and will make
our welcome all the stronger in 1918
because the officers have shown them
selves too patriotic to allow the or
ganization's affairs to interfere in any
way with the members doing their full
duty by their country.
The Lamar officers having invited
the national body to meet here could
do nothing but continue preparations
for that meeting until the national
body acted, and they will continue
the plans now to include on even more
rousing welcome in the summer of
1918, when we all hope the dove of
peace once more bearing its message
to all the battle torn nations of the
earth.
The dates will be later agreed upon
by the local Yambas and the national
officers.

STATE GUARD AROUSED
Politics Allowed TO Breed Dissension

Great indignation was created last
week among the officers as well as
the men of the first regiment of the
Colorado National Guard when a civil

appointed as lieutenant colonel of the
regiment over the head of all the of
ficers and especially Major Hamrock,
ranking officer of the regiment who
had commanded them on the border
and brought them up to the first
rank of efficiency. Mr. Means was

since had no connection with military

News Letter

Denver, Colo, June %, i917.-ln
connection with its plans for the as
sistance of farmers and shippers gen
orally during the war emergency, the
state public utilities commission has
addressed a letter to the traffic heads
of all railroads operating in Colorado
requesting the railroads to file with
it statements showing provisions
which they have made for the hand
ling of traffic, particularly the crop
movement, this summer and fall.
Reports received by the public util-
tiles commission indicate record crops
in many sections of the state, and as
a consequence the commission is exert
ing every effort to see that an ado
quate supply of cars will be avail
able for the crop movement. lnas-
much as the railroads have had q
sufficient time to complete their pre-
parations, the commission now is call
ing upon them to lay before it specific
information which should show how
well each carrier is prepared to meet
the unusual demands upon transporta-
ton facilities resulting from both the
war situation and increased crops.
The information thus received will
enable the commission Immediately to
give its attention to the weak spots
in the traffic situation, to the end that
Colorado's "war time" transportation
problems may be reduced to i mini
mum.
The statements to be filed by the
railroads should apply not only to
general plans for the crop movement
but also show just what the roads are
doing in the way of moving coal and
other tonnage which can be handled
now as a means toward relea5ing To-
comotives and cars for use VIXEN crops
begin TO move later in the summer and
fall. The commission is particularly
anxious to obtain definite information
as to the refrigerator car supply avail
able for Colorado this year in order
that every effort may be made TO
properly handle fruit and other per-
ishable products.

Little Town of Hartman Is a Maker

The Red Cross honors for q small
town in Colorado go to the little town
of Hartman without question. Their
final count for Red Cross week showed
a total of about $500. or over five
dollars for each person living in the
town. There is nothing so far shown
in this state that anywhere near eq-

more conducive to dissatisfaction and

hoped that Governor Gunter will ex
