one of the royal families of the is
lands.

GOOD CHANCE FOR THE
ONE-HORSE FARMER

'.What hope is there for a one
horse farmer, if any?" asks a read
er. It all depends on the kind Of
man he is. While having only one
work animal is a handicap, there are
worse. For instance, we'd rather
make paying crop with one mule on
rich land than to try it on poor land
with dozen mules. Peas, beans and
the clovers can be grown as well by
the one-horse farmer as by the larg-
er, and crop rotations that will build
up the land are just as easily posi-
bic with the small fellow. Get out
Of the one-horse class as soon as
you can, Of course; but the mere
fact that you are one-horse farm
err by no means shuts the door of
hope. One Of the most successful
farmers we know, a man rated at
100000, started 80 years ago with
a single gray mare and an unlim-
tied amount of spunk. Yes, the one
horse farmer has a chance, and a
good one.-Progressive Farmer.

as strong and well for the past twelve years.
 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 dis appear, dull eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health
 Physicians and hospitals everywhere are now recognizing it's merits by it's use in ever increasing quantities. Fred erick. Kolle, M. D., editor of New York Physician's ''Who's Who,'' says: "BitrO- Phosphate should be prescribed by every doctor and used in every hospital to increase strength and nerve force and to enrich the blood
 Joseph D. Harrigan, former visiting specialist to North Eastern Dispense tory. says: Let those who are weak, thin. nervous. anaemic or rundown, take natural. unadulterated strength and tissue building substance such IS bltro- phosphate and you will soon see some astonishing results in the increase Of nerve energy, strength of body and mind and power of endurance"
 CAUTION: = Although Bitro- -Phos- phate is unsurpassed for relieving ner- vousness, sleeplessness and general weakness. owing to it's remarkable flesh growing properties it should not be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh.

 Many thousands of persons who do not identify this splendid group of sea girt mountains under it's present title of Sieur de Monts, will place it at once, under the title proposed for the na- uonal park, as the granite heights which rise behind Bar Harbor and the other resorts of Mount Desert Island.

Editor of "Physicinn's Who's Who"
 Makes Important Statement.

Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatments which are contin- ually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people feshy, develop ing arms. neck and bust, and replacing 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 excessive thinness
 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 defi ciency so well as the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitro- -phos- phate, which is inexpensive and is sold by Lee & Osgood and most all drug gists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food clements, bitro phosphate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing.
 Clinical tests made in St. Catherine's hospital. N Y. C., showed that two patients gained in weight 23 and 27 pounds, respectively. through the ad- ministration of this organic phosphate; both patients claim they have not felt
