Says Phosphate Doubles
Strength and Health

Numerous notices have appeared m
the press from time to time telling Of
the remarkable benefits TO be derived
from the regular use Of a digesuble or
ganic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate. Investigation
shows that bitro-phosphate- which IS
obtainable Of any good druggist, en-

its peculiarly valuable property OF
quickly restoring the strength and VI
talitv of the depleted nervous system
Neurasthenia. nervousness sleepless-
ness and physical and mental weakness
are almost invariably due TO q starved
nervous system. This condition can
only be corrected by supplying 10 the
nerve centers the necessary phosphorc
food elements, the lack OF which has
caused all the trouble. For this pur-
pose specialists highly recommend tax
inc with each meal a tasteless 5-graln
tablet of the organic phosphate now so
generally known as bitr0-phosphate,
which, while being inexpensive is m-
doubtedlv the most remarkable nerve
food and restorative of health and
strength known to medical science.

People Hope That Popular Pastor Will
Return to Wallace.

Rev. d. M. Helmick willsleave Tues

church. In expressing the hope that

Miner expresses the prevailing senti-
ment irrespective Of church affiliation.
During his residence in this city he
has not merely been the pastor of his
church, but he has been most useful
citizen, participating actively in all
movements for the advancement of
the community. Americanism Is part
Of his religion, and before and since
war was declared he has preached 1t
with earnestness that has impressed
the people and strengthened the gov
ernlnent. He Is chairman of the four
minute speakers and has been the di-
rect means Of creating sentiment in
support of all war activities. In fur
therance Of the cause of both religion
and war, the conference should reap

church.

CLOSE DOWN HYPOTHEEK
UNTIL DIRECTORS MEET
SHIP TWO CARLOADS OF CON-
cENTRATEs-GEoRGE DEAL
LOOKS LIKE JOB.

AS a result of the failure of ]. K.
George. of New York, to exercise his
option on the stock of the Hypotheek
Mining & Milling company, large
majority of which had been In the
bank under an escrow agreement to
sell at Is cents per share, the option
having expired on August Is, work at
the mine has been suspended and the
future plans of the company with ref
erence to the property will not be
known until the directors meet.
When this meeting will be held can
not be stated at this time. AS soon as
J. III. Kern, of Moosejaw, president
and largest stockholder in the COM
pany. is in position to attend 1t is ex-
pected that a meeting of the directors
will be called in this city. About two
carloads of concentrates are on hand
to the railroad for shipment. Two
watchmen are employed to look after
the company's property and keep the
mine pumped out.
Looks Like Stock Job.
In the light of subsequent events,
the George option appears to have
been a part of deliberate plan to
juggle the market for Hypotheek stock
for the benefit of the holder of the op-
ton. Having tied up a majority of
the stock in the option, Mr.. George let
1t be known that he desired enough
more to give him 80 per cent of the
entire issue. Orders were given in his
behalf to buy at the market price up
to Is cents, and 1t Is understood that
large purchases were made at prices
ranging from cents up to Is. The
price did not stop at Is cents, but ad-
vanced rapidly until the maximum of
50 cents was reached. Many brokers
are understood to have sold short and
were forced to pay the high price in
order to make deliveries This was the
situation that seems to have been an
ticipated and made it possible for Mr.,
George to turn his cheaply purchased
stock at handsome profit. The OPP
ton cost him nothing, but the next
man who undertakes to tie up the
stock of a company will probably find
that he must make a substantial cash
payment for the privilege as an evil
dence of good faith.

BUSINESS IS GOOD.
One Wallace Establishment That Has
No Kick on Trade.

After being greeted with gloomy
comments on the present and future
state of trade, it Is refreshing and
highly stimulating to enter the Red
Cross emporium in the clyde Taylor
building. and be regaled by the optim-
istic lady in charge upon the large
cash business the establishment is en-
joying and the flattering outlook for
future profits to swell the Golfers of
the Red Cross. OF course, this insti-
tuition has the advantage of a COM
plete monopoly in its particular line,
and its particular line includes all
lines Of serviceable second hand goods
contributed by the patriotic public for
the benefit of the Red Gross. New
features are daily being added to the
already large stock, while the steady
increase in sales Is conclusive proof
that the Red Cross store will prove a
great financial success. The liberal
public support, both in supplying the
stock and in purchasing the goods,
must OF course be credited in a great
measure for it's success; but even this
would have been insufficient without
the attractive personality, indefatig
able energy and patriotic enthusiasm
of the manager, Mrs. Harry McAllis.
