when the United States government
turns banker. the safest place for our
money to be put is In the hands Of
this government. Anybody can see
that, without bothering to look twice.
Uncle Sam himself will take care Of
our money, and we'll get 1t back. We
know that. His word IL SO good that
we can get the money back whenever
we need 1t, because his bonds will sell.

course, they will sell for more than we
pay for them.
During the time that we leave our
money with Uncle Sam-what we call
the Liberty Loan-he pays us interest.
Well, I've had a higher per cent than
he pays-not for a loan. because
had to pay taxes that reduced the per

Grit Your Teeth and Buy a Bond.

Casualty lists are being printed in
the papers and occasionally we see
pictures Of our wounded at the hos.
pltals in France. War Is being brought
home to us In the middle West. We
know now that Americans are fighting
over there and this third Liberty loan
should nnd us more willing to than
ever before, and more eager, to con.

Buying Liberty bonds is now as

London. April 17.-Referring to the
situation at the front in the House Of
Commons. Premier Lloyd George said:
The fluctuation between hope and
dependency must continue for some
time yet. But am still full of conf
dence. Gen. Plumer Gin command
at Messines ridge) is quite confident.
We have lost territory, but we have
lost nothing vital"
Germany's mighty effort on the bat
tlefield of Flanders has won new sue
cesses. According to the latest re-
ports, the important strategic towns Of
Bailleul, Wulverghem and Wytschaete
are in German hands, and, more i'm
portant still, the Teutous have carried
a large part Of the Messines ridge by
storm. Probably there has been no
more bitter struggle during the war
than that waged along the battle line
through the towns of Bailleul, Neuve
Eglise, Wulverghem and Wytschaets.
Neuve Eglise was taken Monday, but
Bailleul held out until fresh masses Of
German troops were hurled into the
fray and charged repeatedly on the
tired defenders. The same story might
be told of Wulverghem and Wyt-
schaete. while the battle for Messines
ridge must have been frightful in it's
intensity.
The Germans have not attempted to
advance their lines further into the
British lines, for no new attacks on
Merville and further west have been
reported. They have devoted their
sole attention to the work of widening
out the salient and striking at Mes
sines ridge and the railroad running
about six miles north of Bailleul.
There is higher ground just to the
north Of Ba.lleul and Neuve Eglise
from which the British can conduct q
stern defense. Merville is standing
firm, in spite Of terrific attacks made
against it. while along the southern
side of the salient there have been NO
engagements reported. The same con-
dition holds true in the sector before
Amiens. whore there have been only
artillery duels. Raiding operations in
which both sides have taken the initi-
alive are reported from the French in
the Champagne
In spite of the reports from the
American front that German attacks
there have been utter failures. q re-
port from Berlin, via Amsterdam. says
that the American positions near et.
Mihiel were taken by storm by the
Germans. who held them against de-
tsrminsd counter attacks. It IL proba-
BILE that the German report deals with
the battle in which the Americans ad-
ministered sound beating to special

thin PEOPLE

Judging from the countless prepara-
tons and treatments which are contin-

Of making thin people fleshy, develop
ing arms, neck and bust, and replacing
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 we'll as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as bitro-

This increase in weight also carries
with it a 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.
UTION:-Although bitro phos-
phate Is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and general
weakness, it should not, owing to its
flesh growing properties, be
used by anyone who does not desire to
put on flesh.
