upto this country to help feed those ar

is not in the shortage Of men but in
the shortage Of food supplies. He thought
it would be impossible to starve Ger

from Russia.
Within the past three months Mr..
Kerr declared there had been the great

IRRIGATION FOR 1918

For the purpose of trying to make
the irrigation service more satisfac-
tory the city will be divided into two
districts so that each district will get
the full service of the plant upon the
day it irrigates.
The plan is to have the houses whica
bear even numbers on the streets irri-
gate only on Monday, Wednesday, FRI
day and Sunday, and the houses which
bear odd numbers on the streets irri-
gate only on Tuesday, Thursday, SAT-
urday and Sunday. This plan win per-
nit every house to irrigate four days
out Of each week.
The purpose of the Water company
in furnishing water for irrigation 10
not to furnish all the water person
can run through the hose in the six
irrigation hours every day, but to furn
ish enough water to keep the lawn in
condition. To use more than enough is
waste. We will pump the usual
amount of water and hope to furnish
it more satisfactorily.--Salem Water,

evening in the House Of Representatives
in an open meeting Of the state grange
His line of argument was mostly on
the critical condition Of the allies and
the necessity Of this country furnishing
food supplies.
The allies were almost exhausted, he
said, and the United States was the
only country able to continue the war
and that on America today rests the
burden Of fighting on to victory. He de-
cared that the entire civilian popula-
tion Of this country must do its share in
winning the war as the civilians Of
France and England are doing.
As to the food proposition, he declar.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULDTAkE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain BitrO- Phosphate to
Put on Firm, .Hsalthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force

Judging from the countless prepara,
tions and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin peoeple fleshy, de-
yeloping arms, neck and bust, and re-
placing ugly hollows and angles by the
soft curved lines of health and beauty,
there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keenly feel their ex-
eessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies need
more phosphate than is contained il
modern foods. Physicians claim there
is nothing that will supply this defi-
cheney so well as the organic phosphats
known among druggists as bitro-phos-
phate, which is inexpensive and is sold
by most all druggists under a guaran-
tee of satisfaction or money back. BY
feeding the nerves directly and by
supplying the body cells with the nee
esary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate quickly produces welcome
transformation in the appearance; the
increase in weight frequently being
astonishing.
This increase IN weight also carries
with it a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and
lack of energy which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear, dull eyes become bright, and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom OF
perfect health.
CAUTION = Although, hitro-phos-
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and general
weakness it should. not, owing to its
remarkable flesh-growing properties, be
used by anyone who does not desire to
put on flesh
