Judging from the countless preparations

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 50 well as

welcome transformation in the appear

This increase in weight also carries with
it general improvement in the health.

In Shipley church. Sussex. England.

that of the Simonetta palace, near

pistol shot 80 or 60 times. says Popular

on the steps Of the high altar, re-

Reflections l..
OF Bachelor Girl, by Helen
Rowland

In the love game most women have
to choose between running Il kinder
g2rten and starting an almshousc for
the sentimcntally bankrupt.
There comes a time In every mans
life when he knows exactly what kind
OF a woman would make him perfectly
happy--usually about a year after he
has married the other kind.
Balzac declared that "A man should
find all women in his wife," Just like
man to imagine that he ought to get
a whole harem for the price of one
wedding ring!
In the moving pictures the fascinat-
ing question is always. viii she sue
coed in escaping him" In real life it
is usually, viii she succeed in getting
him? ?"
Nearly any sorrow in a woman's life
can be alleriatcd at this time Of year
by a new and attractive hat; nearly
any sorrow in mans can be cured by
II new and attractive woman.
Nothing so annoys a married pair as
IL be Interrupted In the beginning Of "A
quarrel just as they had started to
brighten UP a duh domestic evening
that way.
The Daily Newspaper-The great
American buIwark behind which n man
intrenches himself from gas attacks on
his pocketbook or his character at
breakfast, hides his boredom at dinner,
and defends his religious intertia when
his wife wants him to go TO church on

Time That the Question
is Not Asked

"Do you think the war will be over
soon:'
In answering this question. one is
likely to say that the morning news
papers contain all the news, and one
mans Judgment is just as good as an
others.
If, however, il is the writer's opinion
that's desired, it may be stated as
follows:
1t is now well authenticated that the
resources of the nations making war arc
at a low cbb. and the numbers of the indi-
vidual warmakcrs have been greatly re-
duced and their spirit and unity have
broken down.
Therefore, it is expected that within
the ensuing three months ii will be posi-
bic for the United States and the Allies
to arrive at the primal steps, stopping
bloodshcd, and taking security to bind Il
surrender of all The eremy's ships and
Notifications, to be further assured by an
army of occupation, composed Of Ameri-
can, British and French troops, to guard
the points of danger and safeguard and
insure the contracts entered into.
Furthcr-that new conditions will
arise Immediately, with new demands
not so much for food. but for merchan-
disc, which will create scarcity of many
articles requiring materials and skilled
