WEAK, THIN PEOPLE
MADE STRON c AND FAT

Weak, thin people--mcn or wom-
en-are nearly always nervous
wrecks, thus conclusiycly proving
that thinness, weakness, debility
and neuresthenia are almost inya-
riably due to nerve starvation. Feed
your nerves and all these symptoms
due to nerve starvation will disap-
pear.
Eminent specialists state that
the best nerve food is an organic
phosphate known among druggists
as Bitro-Phosphate, fiye-grain tab
let Of which should be taken with
each meal Being a genuine nerve
builder and not a stimulant or habit
forming drug, Bitro-Phosphate can
be safely taken by the weakest and
most delicate sufferer, and the re-
suits following its use are often sim
ply astonishing.
Weak, tired people regain strength
and yigor; thinness and angular
ity give way to plumpness and
curves, sleep returns to the sleep
less, confidence and cheerfulness re-
place debility and gloom, dull eyes
become bright, and pale, sunken
cheeks regain the pink glow of
health. Bitro-Phosphate, the use OF
which is inexpensive, also wonder
fully promotes the assimilation of
food, SO much so that many people
report marked gains of weight in a
few weeks.
CAUTION - Although Bitro-
Phosphate is unsurpassed for reliev-
ing weakness, sleeplessness and gen.
eral weakness, it should not, owing
to its remarkable fesh-growing
properties, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh. 1t

PRIZE WINNERS
 Al SCHOOL FAIR
,vards Were We'll Distributed Thru ont the County and Competition Was Liyely-Onion Clubs Did
 Not Make Exhibits.

If required some close scoring by tbe iudges of exhibits at the School Rallv Fair to determine the final awards. The quality of the show ines was so high there was little to choose between in making many of the decisions.
 According to geographical location the prizes were pretty well distrib- uted over Polk county, showing that no one locality has monopoly on training. The south end of the county took both cotton prizes, while the best corn came from the Dallas valley east of Mena The Acorn school was the only exception to the above state ment. The members of the Poultry club in that up-to-date community just simply wiped the board when it came to prize winning birds and the Acorn girls captured all three prizes.
 There was disappointment because members of the Onion club failed to offer exhibits. Prizes in this depart ment went unawarded because no on- ions were shown.
 Much interest was shown in the swine exhibit. In addition to the showings made by members of the Boys Pig Club, spenimens of fine pure bred Poland Chinas were exhibited by Ford Younce of Oaklawn farm and J. F. Averitt of Mena. The size and ex- cellent condition of these hogs should be an inspiration to the boys who saw them.
 The complete list of prize winners is as follows
 Canning Club-First. Ethel Ander- son. Oak Ridge; second, Bessie Rich ardson, Hatfield; third, Beva Jones, Acorn.
 Poultry Club-First, Aileen McWil- liam, Acorn; second, Mary Roger, Acorn; third, Hester Hinson, Acorn.
 Pig Club-Best Poland China, Ru- dolph Clark; second, Arthur Wilcox. Best Duroc, Brent Barron; second, Booker and Mark Connally
 Corn Club--Best ten ears upland corn, Ray Payne, Dallas; second, Sterling Price, Vandervoort.
 Cotton Club-First, Rex Myer, Hat field; second, Iris Beauchamp, Van dervoort.
 Miscellaneous Exhibits-First ham, mer handle, Oscar Pigg, Old Potter; second, Leonard Ellis, Baker; double bit axe handle, John Lynn, Potter; best pole axe handle, Hugh Alstatt, Eagleton.
 Best school banner made by stu dents, Grannis school; second, Wickes school.
 Best handkerchief made by student, Ava Pugh.
 Best exhibit canned goods by stu dent not club member, Beuna Robb, Center Point.
 Best ten ears of corn by student not a club member, Laurence Hamiter, Vandervoort.
 Best paper on Future Prospects for Poultry Raising in Arkansas"- First, Burl Mcdonald; second, Madie Belt, Eagleton.

Poultry Club Work Profitable.

The experience of Little Miss Ali leen McWilliam, who won first prize in the poultry club show at the Edu- cational rally last week, may be an inspiration to other young folks of the county. She is but 10 years of age, and entered the club work last spring, buying a setting of White Rock eggs, from which she raised 2 birds. The trio which was exhibited and won the prize of War Savings Stamp was sold for $10, so she still has the pen of four birds left In ad- dition to the income of $15 she has the great satisfaction of having done some useful work.
