MANY GERMAN
TOWNS BOMBED

by Newspaper Enterprise ASSN
LONDON, England, Oct. ii-German
ralding operatlons-while the German
was strong enough in the air to make
such consisted chiefly in attacks
on civilian centers-London, Paris
and the Smelling Of hospitals and hos
pital trains
Allied air strategy has had military
effectiveness rather than terrorism for
: its aim. Specific points where NUM-
lions were manufactured or stores
could be destroyed were the targets
This is the difference between the
German air hooligans and the allied
soldiers OF the air.
In three months the Sablon railway
station at Metz has been ralded 80
times. Thionville. under German occu-
patton. has received 81 attacks from the
air. Both were close TO the western
front air bases. Each has been a con-
centratlon point for German supplies,
the junction Of the strategic railways
Of the Lorraine front and the whole OF
the lower Rhine basin.
These raids on railway detectives
played a great part in May In the
crecking OF the German advance. or a
total OF 50 raids In May alone, AZ had
as their detectives railway stations,
sidlngs or bridges.
The BOdlsche factory at Mannheim,
principal source Of Germanys poison
gas has been raided repeatedly, two
tons Of bombs being dropped in one Of
the attacks. Results. shown in col
umns Of black smoke, and later in
photographs revealing fallen roofs and
biackened girders, have been very sat
isfactOry.
Daimler Motor Works at Stuttgart,
where the famous Daimler engines are
built, has been a favored point Of at
tack. The Bosche Magnetic Works
whose world monopoly is now destroy
ed has had its showers Of bombs. Fac
tories, stations and barracks at Frank

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate TO Put

Increase Strength, YIgOr and
Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually being
advertised for the purpose OF making thin
people neshy. 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 men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
70 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 drug
gists as bitro-phosphate, which is mex
Densiye and is sold by y. B. DanfOrth
and all druggists under a guarantee of
satisfaction or money back. BY feeding
the nerves directly and by supplying the
food elements bitro- phosphate quickly pro-
duces a welcome transformation In the ap-
pearance; the increase In weight fire.
quently being astonishing.
This increase In weight also carries
with IT a general improvement In the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and
lack of energy. which nearly always ac-
company excessive thinness. soon disap-
near, dull eyes become bright, and pale
cheeks glow with the bloom Of perfect
health.
CAUTION Although bitro- phosphate is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness.

should not. owing TO its remarkable aesh-
growing properties. be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh.
