Weak, Thin People
Made Strong and Fat

weak, thin people-men and women
are nearly always nervous wrecks
thus conclusively proving that thin.
ness, weakness. debility and neuras-
thenia are almost invariably due to
nerve starvation. Feed your nerves
and all these symptoms due to nerve
starvation will disappear.
Eminent specialists state that the
best nerve food is an organic phos-
phate known among druggists as Bitrot
Phosphate, 4 five-grain tablet OF which
should be taken with each meal. Being
a genuine nerve builder and not a stim-
ulant or habit forming drug, Bitro-
Phosphate can be safely taken by the
weakest and most delicate sufferer, and
the results following its use are often
simply astonishing
Weak, tired people regain strength
and vigor; thinness and angularity
give way to plumpness and curves,
sleep returns to the sleepless, conf.
dence and cheerfulness replace debility
and bloom, dull eyes become bright
and pale. sunken cheeks regain the
pink glow Of health Bitro. Phosphate
the use of which is inexpensive, also
wonderfully promotes the assimilation
OF food. 50 much SO that many people
report marked gains OF weight in q
few weeks.
CAUTION: - Although Bitro-Phos.
phate is Unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness. sleeplessness and general
weakness, il should not, owing to its
flesh-growing properties, be |
used by anyone who does not desire TO
put on flesh. Ii is sold in this city by
Frame and most good druggists ADV

until lost to view.
Shortly before 4 O'Clock the ma
chine fell to earth nearly twenty
miles west Of Arras. Both its oc-
cupants were found to be dead from
bullet wounds in the back. The
planes petrol tank was empty.
The officer reporting the case says
there is no doubt that the two air
men were shot just after they had
downed the German. Then for some
reason, which will never be known,
the controls were shifted and the
machine described wide circle,
gradually losing speed and height.
He estimated that the two dead men
were in the air fully two hours be-
fore the machine fell.
