THIN PEOPLE.
 GAIN WEIGHT

Thinness 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 a 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 a pure, organic phos- phate, carefully prepared You can get the genuine standard bitro -phos- phate at Lee 6 Osgood's or any first class drug store.

SIGNS ROAD CONTRACT

Reports from Chief Engineer Upham,
of the Delaware state highway commits
sion, at a meeting of the commission
held at Dover Monday, showed the work
of the state highway improvement
highly gratifying and satisfactory in
every sense of the word, especially
| when it was feared that serious delays
would be occasioned on the Philadelphia
| pike because of differences between
the Bell Telephone Company and the
state department, which figured at the
| meeting of the commission held some
two weeks ago. All these difficulties
now have been removed, and while a
delay of possibly two weeks may be oc-
casioned on the improvement of the
pike road, after that time the road con-
struction will go on without delay and
as originally planned. One of the most
important matters considered by the
commission and pissed upon was the
signing up of the contract between T.
Coleman du Pont and the state, in the
latter's offer to build for the state a
concrete road from Milford to Whining
ton passing through part OF Sussex
county, entirely through Kent county
and all of New Castle county Mr..
DUPONT was present at the meeting
and signed uo the contracts IS previous
ly agreed upon by aim. 'Eha commits
sion expressed its gsatefalness to the
property owners Of farm and other
land on the Dover Smyrna road for the
patriotic manner in which they have
gwen the rights of way. there being

enced in securing such rights. It is ex-
pected that within two weeks tie con-
crete work on tt4e Doyer-Smyrna road
will begiE:. Work on the upper end o1
the philadelphia pike is being rapidly
pushed. the concrete work to begin
