THIN PEOPLE
SHOULDTAkE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro- Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force

Judging from the countless prepara-
tions and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin people fleshy, de-
veloping arms, neck and bust, and re-
placing 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 ex-
eessive thinness.
Thinhess and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies need
more phosphate than is contained il
modern foods. Physicians claim there
is nothing that will supply this defi-
cheney so well as the organic phosphate
known among druggists as bitro-phos-
phate, which is inexpensive and is sold
by most all druggists under a guaran-
tee of satisfaction or money back. BY
feeding the nerves directly and by
supplying the body cells with the nee
esary phosphorie food elements, bitro-
phosphate quickly produces a welcome
Transformation in the appearance; the
increase in weight frequently 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
accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear, dull eyes become bright, and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom of
perfect health.
CAUTION - Although, bitro-phos-
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and general
weakness it should not, owing to its
remarkable flesh growing properties, be
used by anyone who does not desire to
put on flesh.

KEEPING IN TRIM

we're feeling fit. The years ahead look
pretty fierce, so far as our weak eyes can
pierce. Well have to strain our every

would aid our boys to shoot the horried
Hun, the tiresome Teut. So it's unwise to
say, "Oh, chez, there's no vacation billed

neck, and spoil suspenders by the peck, that
may earn some good long green, and

LIVED NEAR THE MARION
AND LEVY LINE

Says the Bronson Times-Democrat:
"A few hundred feet southwest OF the
Atlantic Coast Line depot at Raleigh,
near the eastern line of Levy county,
may be seen cluster of large water
oaks trees and the ruins of typical
Florida farm house. This spot was
once the home and farm of Benjamin
R. Tillman. late senator from South
Sarolina. Many years ago this able
representative of democracy left his
native state and came to Florida. For
a number of years he titled the soil
on the tract of land near what is now
known as Raleigh. Five hundred acres
was the extent of his holdings, and
his farm, while not covering the en-
tire tract, was of goodly size. Many
older citizens of the east side re-
member well the sturdy South Caro-
linian who was their neighbor."

SUNDAY IN METHODISM

There was quite a goodly attend
ance yesterday, attentive to the SER
mon from the pastor from |. Peter
11-21. Christ the greatest and only
man suffered as no one ever has. He
loved us to that extent that while we
were yet sinners He died for US. In
our sufferings we look to the Savior
who carried our sufferings and our
sorrows. The most wonderful truth
ever proclaimed. His whole life was
a sacrifice. We must have His spirit
if we would endure. He suffered per-
sonally for you and for me, giving up
glory of heaven. He suffered in ma
ture, being tempted in the wilderness,
leaving an example for US to follow.
Suffering is on every hand. Oul
martyrs remembered the suffering OF
our Savior. Glory is not from intel
lectual, moral or financial standpoint,
but from our likeness to Him. For
the noblest of all causes He died,
that we might be saved. Whole fami-
lies are broken up by war, suffering
lis everywhere. Y. NJ. C. A. makes
