have been recovered from the army
by the efforts OF the committee and
have been returned to timber produc-
ton, which has been in a precartous
condition through shortage OF loggers.
Kirby has been sent by the ship

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

Judging from the countless prepare
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 D1en 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 is in
expensive and is sold by most all drug
Rists under a guarantee of satisfaction or
money back. By feeding the nerves
directly and by supplying the body cells
with the necessary phosphoric food ele-
ments, phosphate quickly produces
a welcome transformation in the appear
ance; the increase in weight frequently
being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries with
u general improvement In the health.
Nervousness. sleeplessness 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.
sleeplessness and general weakness. 1t
should not. owing to Its remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh.-Adv.

1888 AGGIES IN WAR
Farmer School Has Service Honor
Roll To Be Proud OF.

Manhattan, Kan, June 1s.-At least
$50 graduates, former students and
faculty members of the Kansas State
Agricultural college are in military
service. according to announcement
made by President William M. Jar
dine, who unfur!ed the service flag of
the institution at a special assembly
In addition to students and tOwnspeo-
pie, the ESQ soldiers who are taking
special mechanical training were at
the meeting, being the guests of honor.
Forty-two per cent Of the men list
ed are commissioned or non-commis-
stoned officers. Three are major gen.
erals brigadier generals, 2 colonies, 6
majors, % captains. 195 lieutenants,
Sc sergeants, and SO corporals. Five
men have died in the service and are
represented by gold stars on the flag.
1t is regarded as probable that a much
larger number than the $40 whose
names are on file are actually in the
service, and the college is endeavoring
to get the names of others from all
sources possible.
