PHOSPHATE WILL STRENGTHEN
YOUR WEAK NERVES
Druggists Supply in Tablet Form and
Purchasers Receive Binding
Guarantee Satisfaction or
Money Back

Weak nerves rob men and women of
all the joy Of life and quickly reduce the
strong and robust to a condition which
is pitiable in the extreme. This con.
dition is brought about slowly and
stealthily in the majority of cases, and
the poor sufferer fails to realize what
is wrong until faulty memory, indie.
cision, lack of desire for work or re.
creation, insomnia or some other un.
mistakable symptom indicates weak
nerves. 1t is then that many people
make the big mistake of resorting to
the use Of so-called nerve tonics. al
coholic stimulants or drugs. Nothing
could be more harmful or more danger.
Gus. The nerves are weak and eX.
hausted; they need food and nourish.
ment-not drugs that will lash them
into temporary activity Feed your
nerves and they will become strong
again and your health will improve in
consequence. That is the advice of
present day physicians and specialists,
and the nerve food they recommend is
just one 5.gr. tablet of pure bitro. phos-
phate taken during or Immediately after
every meal. Simple advice, but its ex-
cellence has been proved over and over
again, and, as a package containing
sufficient bitro-phosphate tablets for
two weeks treatment can be obtained
from any druggist at reasonable cost,
the remedy is within the reach of every
sufferer from weak nerves, Moreover,
the whole risk Of the trial is assumed
by the manufacturers, for every pack
age of bitro-phosphate tablets is ac-
companied by a binding guarantee of
satisfaction or money back. 1t is sold
in this city by Frame Drug Company
and all good druggists (AdY)

Tor corns will never again send electric

He says that a few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon a
tender aching corn, instantly relieves
soreness, and soon the entire corn, root

This drug is sticky, but dries at once
and is said to simply shrivel up the
corn without inhaming or even irritat
ing the surrounding tissue.
1t is claimed that quarter of an

DUTCHMAN SAYS
HOLLAND IS NOT
FEEDING GERMANS

Amsterdam, Jan. 16.-(Correspond
ence Of the Associated Press)-The
question whether and to what extent
Holland is responsible for the continua-
ton of the war by her food supplies to
Germany has caused controversy IN
the Dutch newspapers. G. j. X. van
Aalst, head of the Netherlands oversee
Trust, in his recent open letter to Presi.
dent Wilson, pleaded for the removal Of
the American governments embargo on
food shipments to Holland; one Of his
arguments being that the continuation
of Hollands trade with the central DOW.
ers, while of vital Importance to Hol-
land itself, is of small account so far
as aid and comfort to the entente's enc.
mics is concerned.
An article in the Amsterdam Tele.
graaf from entente side-of American
origin. it is hinted-reples to Mr.. Van
Aalsts arguments by showing that ac.
cording to official Dutch statistics for
1916, there were exported from Holland
to Germany of potatoes, potato flour
butter, eggs rice, cheese. margarine
sugar fish, meat fruits, peas and beans
9lS,355 tons, sufficient to feed 200 600
soldiers for year.
The same authority calculates that in
1916 Holland imported from overseas
9lS,2jl tons of cereals, aour. cocoa, rice
and dried fruits and comes to the con.
clusion that Holland exported more than
twice the quantity she needed for the
sustenance Of her own population
hence the restrictions placed upon these
ll- INIT
ment
Now comes Prof. J. A. van Hamel a
Dutch writer Of note, who in support
Of Mr.. Van Aalst's contentious, puts the
case this way:
Assuming that the entente authority's
figures as regards the exported food
values are correct. how far would a
years Dutch exports 90 to feed the
100000 600 inhabitants Of Germany and
Austria-Hungary? That he says is the
way the question ought to be looked at
and the answer is three and one-halt
days.
But the figures, he claims, are not
correct. Professor Van Hamel produces
a detailed schedule, also based on Of
fetal statistics showing that the aggre-
gate exports Of the articles named
amounted, net to 9lS355 tons but to
590.O66 tons. '" oushly, 80 per cent
less than wa L.
His concl . therefore, is that a
whole year, exports from Holland to
Germany are just sufficient to keep
alive the joint population OF Germany
and Austria-lIUngary for three and one.

A bill was introduced in Con-

draft ages from 21-31 to l8-45.
Congress will reconvene Aug.
18th, and it is certain that the law
will be speedily passed. The plan
is to have the new registration
on Sept. 5th, so that the draft
calls for October, November and
December can be met from the
new age limits. 1t is estimated
that COL, ,236 fighters will be Sc
cured between 81 and As, and l.
797,609 class one men from 18 to
81, making a total class one men
OF 2,398,845 by means of the new
registration. The total number
to register will be about l3,0OO,-
900. The department will hold
back the boys of 18 and 10 to the
very last.

When our country declared war last
year, we were woefully short of rifles and
ammunition. Up until the very first of
this year the men in camps were drilled
with anything that could be picked up in
place of gun. Many criticisms were
heard at alleged "inefficiency." But not
so now. We now know huge factories
had to be built new models designed and
countless other steps taken before am.
munition and guns on quantity basis
could be produced.
And now the United States has passed
the two-billion mark in the manufacture
of small arms ammunition Since this
country entered the war, and up TO July
10Th, the total output of cartridges for
rifles, pistols, revolvers and machine
guns was 2,Ol4,S15,584! The daily aver
age output is 100000. The total num-
Der OF rifles to date is 1886, 769, pistols
217,OO0, revolvers 1863, 1867.
The production of the Browning ma
chine gun per week now averages 25OO
light and 1900 heavy.
And the fine showing now being made
in gun manufacture is fully equalled by
the ship building plants. During June
the United States built more ship ton
mage than the German submarines de-
stroyed. And each month will witness
an increase in ship building. Verify, our
munition and ship building plants have
struck their pace"
