THIN PEOPLE
 GAIN WEIGHT

Tl.-nness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is con tained in modern foods. To remedy this, physicians recommend plain bitro- phosphate, which is such @ di- gestible form of phosphate that it feeds the nerves directly. and as they gain in power. the body gains in plumpness, weight and strength.
 Bitro- phosphate is prescribed in- stead of inferior phosphates because it is known as pure, organic phos phate, carefully prepared. You can get the genuine standard bitro- -phos- phate at Lee & Osgood's or any first class drug store.

RAPID PROGRESS AT
 THE eRoToN SHEPARD
Six Ships Can Be Constructed at the Same Time When cransways Are Completed.


 That things are moving at the big shipyard of, the Greton Iron Works is evident for the big buildings and the craneways loom high above the ground and the evidence of rapid and enormous growth is peFceptible even at a distance
 It is almost impossible to gain &C., cess to the yard at the present time, and one has to stand in well and to prove ones identity to the officials in order to get across the dead line. This is essential, however, in these days, when an enemy may attempt to create some disturbance or cause damage to industries which are be- ing pushed to help win the war
 It is likewise inadvisable to give out much information regarding what has been done and what the prospects are for the future, but it may be said without hesitation that the progress made at this shipyard is very satisfac- tory and away ahead Of what was an- ticipated when the first shovelful of sod was turned and the fine farm was transformed into a field of rocks ditches, holes, concrete structures | huge buildings, tracks, a railroad sys- tenn in itself, and numerous other | things.
 Three keels are laid. When all the craneways are completed, six ships 1 can be constructed at the same time Many more men are expected te arrive within the next few weeks and the time that has up to now beer taken up considerably in preliminary work can all be utilized in rushing the actual work on ships.
