THIN PEOPLE

Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and

and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepara-
lions and treatments which are cortin-

of making thin people fleshy, develop
ing arms, neck and bust. and replacing
curved lines of health and beauty, there
are evidently thousands OF men and
women who keenly feel their excessive
thinnPss.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contained
in modern foods. Physicians claim there
is nothing that Will supply this deficiency

among druggists as bitrO- phosphate,

all druggists under a guarantee of salts

This increase in weight also carries

Thanksgiving ProcIamations That
Have Come From Occupants
of the White House.
RESIDENT L1NCOLN'S last
Thanksgiving proclamation, set,

@RESIDENT LINCOLN'S last
Thanksgiving proclamation, set
u for the last Thursday in Novem-
| Der, 1864, expresses his thankfulness
for the vision of victory which Is in
view, but still contains an humble sup
plication for peace. What a glorious
: Thanksgiving he would have sent over
the land had he been spared to issue
that which begged nations thank Of
ferings for peace!
This privilege denied the great Lin
coin was granted to the aggressive An
drew Johnson and the somewhat cold
and hackneyed message he issued up
on an occasion so full of cause for
gratitude is characteristic of the man.
In that message he said:
whereas, It has pleased Almighty
God during the year which is now COM
ing to an end to relieve our beloved
country from the fearful scourge Of
civil war, and, to permit us to secure
the blessings of peace, unity and har-
mOny, with great enlargement Of
civil liberty. :. Now, therefore, be it
known that I, Andrew Johnson, presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby
recommend to the people thereof that
they do set apart and observe the first
Thursday in December next as day
of national Thanksgiving to the Crea-
tor Of the universe for these great de-
liverances and blessings"
'The Spanish-American war was Of
such short duration that it resulted in
few proclamations," said librarian at
Washington, as he turned the pages Of
one of his big red volumes to the year
1918. "Here is President McKinley's
proclamation dated April 26, bearing
the simple statement that war exists"
The Thanksgiving proclamation for
the same year recommended the giving
Of thanks in the following words:
"The skies have been for a time
darkened by the cloud Of war, but as
we were compelled to take up the
sword in the cause Of humanity, we
are permitted to rejoice that the con-
dict has been Of short duration. .
We may laud and magnify his holy
name that the cessation of hostilities
came so soon, so as to spare both sides
the countless sorrows and disasters
that attend protracted war.
II do, therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens, also those who may be at
sea or sojourning in foreign lands as
those at home, to set apart and observe
Thursday, the Oath day of November,
as day of national Thanksgiving"
