Man is Expected to do
His Duty.

London, April 10 Field Marshal
Sir Douglas Haig, in a special order of
the day addressed to "alI ranks Of the
British army in Frnace and Flanders, .

"Three weeks ago today the enemy
began his terrific attacks against us
on a fifty mile front. His objects are

take the channel ports and TO destroy
the British army.
an spite of throwing, already, loo
divisions into the battle and enduring
the most reckless sacrifices of human
life, he has yet made little progress
toward his goals.
I'VE owe this to the determined
fighting and self sacrifice of our troops
Words fail me to express the admira-
ton which feel for the splendid re-
sistance offered by all ranks of our
army under the most trying circum-
stances.
Many amongst us now are tired. To
those would say that victory will be-
long TO the side which holds out the
longest. The French army is moving
rapidly and in great force to our sup
port. There is no other course open to
us but to fight ii out.
Every position must he held to the
last man. There must be no retire
ment. With our backs to the wall ard
believing in the justice of our cause,
each one. of US must fight to the end.
The safety of our homes and the free
dom of mankind depend alike upon the
conduct of each one of us at this criti-
cal moment"

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro- Phosphate to
Put ons Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepara-
lions and treatments which are continu-
ally being advertised for the purpose of
making thin people fleshy, developing
arms, neck and bust and replacing ugly
hollows and angles by the soft curved lines
of health and beauty, there are evidently
thousands of Den 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 deficiency well as
the organic phosphate nown among
druggists as phosphate. which is in
expensive and is sold by 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 phosphortc food ele-
ments, bitro-phosphate quickly produces
a welcome transformation in the appear
ance; sthe increase in weight frequently
being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries with
it general improvement in the health:
Nervousness, sieeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION Although bitro phosphate is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness.
sleeplessEess and general weakness, it
should MT, owing to its remarkable flesh
growing properties. be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh.-Adv-
