Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphste 60 P-t
ON Firm. Healthy Flesh and to
Increase strength. vigor and
Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
advertised for the purpose OF making thin
bust and replacing 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
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 well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
pensive and is sold by N. B. Danforth
and all druggists under a guarantee OF
satisfaction or money back. BY feeding
the nerves directly and by supplying the
body cells with the necessary phosphoric
food elements, bitro- phosphate quickly pro-
duces a welcome transformation in the ap-
pearance; the Increase In weight fire.

This increase in weight also carries
with Il general Improvement IN the

cheeks glow with the bloom Of perfect
health.
CAUTION Although bitro-phosphate is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness.

growing properties. be used by anyone
who does not desire TO put on flesh.

EMPLOYMENT WORK
TRAINING SERVICE
development Of Employee S
Aim Sought by
Service
MUST UNDERSTAND
THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES

Training courses in up-to-date em-
ployment methods will shortly be made
available to every officer, examiner
and employee OF the United states EN-
ployment Service.
To promote and conduct these train
ing courses a separate section Of the
Personnel Division has been establish
Sd at Administrative headquarters In
washington. This is the Training Sec
Lion of the Personnel Division.
The function of the training section
will be TO plan and supervise the train
ing of all employees Of the United States
Employment Service TO full apprecia-
dion OF their common task and to work
ing knowledge OF the means by which
they may best fulnll their responsi-
biliiies.
The instruction courses, II Is plan
ned, VIII be started simultaneously in
a number OF sections as soon as con-
ditions become more stable. Before
this time a special intensive course in
the technique OF public employment
will be given 10 qualified agents OF the
Employment Service, who later Will be
assigned to STATS OF the various State
directors TO take charge OF the training
Of local personnel.
The program of the training section
as at present defined contains five sep
arate steps for increasing the efficiency
Of Employment Service personnel.
These steps are:
1.-The preparation Of progressive
manual for the general instruction Of
every member Of the Employment Ser
vice.
2-Instituting as soon as possible a
two weeks normal course for the in
Btruction OF those who viii be assigned
DO the offices of the Federal directors
no take charge OF personnel training
in each State or district.
3.-Outlining plans for unit courses
to be given in the States under the
direction OF those trained In the above
mentioned normal courses. This local
instruction will be adapted TO local
conditions, but win be under the gen.
eral supervision of the training section
at administrative headquarters. In adj
dition special follow-up courses will
probably be given the examiners.
4.-The Immediate preparation OF
plans for testing and giving training in
structions 20 clerical workers In En-
ployment Service offices.
5.-The preparation OF material 20 be
used In correspondence courses for all
employees OF the service anxious to
equip themselves in special lines.
1t is recognized nowhere more clearly
than In the Employment Service itself
that special training OF Employment
Service agents has not always been poe
sible hitherto. In view of the speed
demanded in building a nationwide or
ganization for the placement and dlreo-
tion Of workers during the war emer-
eency. Now that the Employment Serv-
70 Is a firmly established national
tgency, however. no EFFORT viii be
>pared in training its personnel TO cope
Effectively with the problems held by
be future.

him In conference Friday morning at
o'clock at the War Work building,

the purpose OF considering d proposal
to stop the sale Of flour containing
wheat until the new harvest is ON the
market.
The demands for wheat for use in
provisioning the American soldiers
and feeding the civilian Populations
of the allies in Europe have become SO
great that present supply Will be con-
siderably insufficient unless the peo-
pie in America abstain from its use
until the new harvest is on the mar.
ket. For, this reason the food admin
istration is asking, dealers to volun-
tarily stop the sale Of Wheat flour
and the consumers to ,volslntarily abb
stain from the use of it!aantil after
the new harvest. The fooH admins
tration is also asking patribts to turn
back to the government an flour in
unbroken packages that nay be in
their possession which wal be paid
for BY the government andashipped to
the soldiers. la
In a>number, Of 'Tennessee counties
