ORDINARY BITRO-PHoSPHATE WILL
DOUBLE THE STRENGTH OF WEAK,
DELICATE, NERVOUS PEOPLE IN
TWO WEEKS TINE IN MANY
INSTANCES.

Weak nerves quickly reduce the strong
and robust to an etremely pitiable condi-
ton and rob men and women of all the
joys of life. Slowly and stealthily the
health is destroyed, the poor sufferer only
realizing the magnitude of his ailment
wher faulty memory, sleepessness, in
decision, lack of energy or other unmis-
taxable symptoms indicate weak nerves.
Then it isla serious and dangerous mistake
to resort to the use of so-called tonics,
alcoholic or drug stimulants.
Weak and exhausted nerves need food
and northumberland stimulants that lash
them into temporary activity. The food
and nourjshment advised by present day
physicians is just one 5-grain tablet of
pure bitro- phosphate taken during or i'm
mediately after each meal. Simple advice,
but its soundness has been proven over and
over again.
Moreover the genuine standard bitro-
phosphate is inexpensive and is sold by
Tully Mcfarland and most all good drug
gists under bintliig guarantee of satisfac-
tion or money Observation-Disclosures.

TAKE HIM TO ASYLUM
Man Accused of Attacking Mrs
Bucheim Gives His Real Name.

Arthur Chesney is the right ma me
of the man held at the county Jail
under suspicion of being the assailant
of Mrs. Frank Bucheim of Watson At
the time of his arrest he told officers
his name was John Weir and that he
had escaped from the asylum at Osa-
watomie. Today, he confessed that
his right name is Arthur Chesney and
that he was sent to the asylum from
johnson county.
Notification of this statement was
obtained in telephone messages from
the sheriff of Johnson county and
from the asylum at Osawatomie The
meager description of her assailant
given by Mrs Bucheim makes identifi-
cation of anyone impossible, the sher-
iff says, and Chesney denies the
charge. Officers from Osawatomfe
will arrive in Topeka tomorrow and
take Chesney back to the asylum.

City officials today did not say what
proceedings they would pursue follow
ing the rejection of the bids. Con-
tracts cannot be awarded for more
money than specified in the engineer
estimate. The contractors will either
have to lower their bids or the city
will probably advertise again for fresh
bids.

In the fighting in France, must take

exaggeration," Maj. Gen. Frederick B.

operations, said today.

Germans have usually given the cap

numbers, not as actually counted but
as anticipated from the general stu
alton 1t is easonable to assume that
the same thing is being done now.
Our total loss of guns, either from
falling into the hands of the enemy
or by being knocked out, is about
500, according to our best informa-
ton This compares with the Ger
man claim of $50.
probably the same ratio holds
good regarding German claims OF
prisoners and it must be remembered
that the Germans count of prisoners
includes many of our wounded whom
we were unable to take with us. We
have lost probably about 100 tanks
which we used extensively in the
counter attacks"
General Maurice said the war Of
flee was giving out the news as quick
" and as fully as it was received and
he urged the public to be patient.
Avoid Hystcria!
In these critical times; he said.
"I want to emphasize that it is every
ones duty to avoid making them
more critical and to avoid being
mournful During the last few days
some newspapers have raised the old
cry that we are concealing part or
the news because it is too serious for

panic. 1t has tended to make the
people believe that things were worse
than they really are.
In our communications and state
ments to the public we are telling the
whole truth as we know it. L have
told you on previous occasions that
when we are fighting a great battle
on the defensive we cannot get in
formation or sense the exact situation
as quickly as the enemy. Last year
in our offensive operations we saw the
same principle working. In fact the

Germans.

and as soon as the situation steadies
we will again be receiving the hourly
developments and promptly. Mean

able success" was received here with
qualification.
