sdItes Of ''Physiclnn's Who's who" Makes
Important Statements

Judging from the countless prepsra-
tiOns and treatments which are continually
being advertised for the purpose OF maxi
ing thin people feshy, developing arms,
neck and lust, and replacing ugly hol-
lows aud angles by the soft curved lines
OF health and beauty, there are evidently
thousands Of men 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
so well as the organic phosphate known
among druggists as bitro- phosphate, which
IL inexpensive and IL sold by n. B. Dan
forth and most all druggists under a
guarantee Of satisfaction or money back.
By feeding the nerves directly and by sup
plying the body cells with the necessary
phOsphoric food elements, bitro-phOsphate
quickly produces a welcome transforma-
tion in the appearance; the Increase IN
weight frequently being astonishing.
Clinical tests made in st. GATHERINGS

tients gained IN weight 3 and p pounds

CIIATEAU-THIERRY, July 22-(Nightl
-"Ah. Les Americains They are fin,
boys, brave. When we rebuild Oul
city, II will always be as home Il
Americans. We will be proud tC
make them welcome"
Thus spoke aged Leon Toison, q
councilman Of Chateau-Thierry, who
refused TO leave the town when the
Germans captured it. Although Toi-
son is SO years old he took charge OF
city affairs and assisted every way
possible, "the two hundred" as the
survivors Of six weeks OF BOche DOM
ination are known.
Interviewed the old man this after
noon. He is a small men, slightly
bent. but vigorous and bright-eyed. We
stood among the battered ruins along
the main street. Not a building left
standing was inhabitable here. We
were behind a barricade erected by the
Germans, who had used boxes, earth,
refuse Of all kinds and cObblestOnes
torn from the street.
"When the Germans were coming
we were advised TO flee at once, but
couldn't bring myself TO do ii" said
Toison
i've seen Chateau-Thierry captured
by the Germans three times. The first
time was in 1870 | was wounded dur
ing the fighting then. The next was
in 1914, the first invasion OF this war.
The last was six week ago.
Most OF the others evacuated but
the two hundred decided to stay.
Many OF the old folks would have
been unable TO leave anyway. There
were about dozen children and a few
mlddle-aged people, but most Of us
were pretty old
During the bOmbardment we lived
In caves and cellars without having
enough to eat and without knowing
where to get anything. We were
bouyed up by the hope that Chateau
Thierry again would be French.
Meantime our houses were crumbllng
over us. The Germans ordered us to
stay i'm our cellars, except when we
were permitted to leave. Not having
sufficient food themselves, they or
dered the old men out every day to
bring I'm vegetables from the fields be
hind the German lines. Then the sol
diers would come and take away prac-
tically all we brought in.
and were struggling TO live on the few
vegetables the Germans left us, The
Germans did not abuse US. except by
taking everything they wanted without
paying a single sou and by carrying |
of everything they fancled.
1T was a miracle that all OF us lived |
through the six weeks OF German con-
troll with shells bursting everywhere, !
buildings tumbling down and Germans
officers and men alike, taking our food. |
FINALLY, on Saturday evening, the |
Germans ordered all the inhabitants |
into the Cathedral. We crouched there
fearing a big shell might end us all.
We even anticipated being shot since |
the Germans continually are suspicious
of US old folks. We did not fear death,
but trembled for the children.
EARLY Sunday morning our soldiers
arrived. We then got the flrst news
OF the Americains-their flghting-hOw
they forced the Germans backward.
when the first American soldiers |
arrived everybody could not help going |
wild and shaking hands with the fine |
boys. We kissed them, too, for are they |
not our grandchildren also?

sorely by the sight OF the women ana

was not entirely TO drown them that

sick Of his own failure to hunt ana
