THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepare
tons and treatments which are continu-
ally being advertised for the purpose OF
making thin people fleshy, developing
arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly
hollows and angles by the soft curved lines
Of health and beauty, there are evidently
thousands of Dlen 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
druggists as phosphate, which Is in
expensive and is sold by most all drug
gists under a guarantee of satisfaction or
money back. By feeding the nerves
directly and by supplying the body cells
with the necessary phosphoric FOOD ele-
ments, bitro- phosphate quickly produces
il welcome transformation in the appear
ance; 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- phosphate Is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness, 1t
should not, owing to its remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh-Adv.

RAY HALL EXPLAINS
Topeka Musician, Now in Class 1, Says
He Only Asked Square Deal.

AS things stand at present, Ray Hall
will go to war with the men in the
first July call. Halls appeal was re-
fused by the first district appeal board
late Monday afternoon. The vote was
three to two in favor Of class classi-
fication for the musician.
The delay in sending Hall to the
colors is because the inductions of the
June "a draft will be sent out before
the necessary five days has elapsed in
which Hall can file an appeal to the
president
In a statement today concerning his
relations with the Steinbergs at kel-
lam hall and in answer to the Stein
berg charge as published in the State
Journal last evening, Ray Hall says:
II want to take this opportunity OF
letting the public know a few things
in regard to my associations with the
Steinbergs at Kellam hall.
1.-THE Steinbergs always have held
controlling interest in Kellam hall and
there has never been anything but
friction since the place first was
opened. In making draft charges
against me they figure that they can
build up their own reputation. They
are no more anxious to get rid OF me
than I was to be away from them.
1t was the Steinbergs who made the
draft affidavits against me. Also a
Mrs. Abbott, who is a friend of the
Steinbergs.
1.-The street talk and resulting pub
lie sentiment came about after their
affidavits and talk. Their affidavits
were made to injure me and the truth
was handled lightly.
IT would like the public to know
that my wife did not make affidavit
that she was not dependent upon me.
I never at any time claimed my wife
was mainly dependent upon me.
I'm regard TO the draft and being a
Stacker have only tried to get what
I felt was coming to me and nothing
more.
Running dance hall Is far from
essential to winning the war and peo-
pie who run such places should be
thankful they are not made to engage
in some useful occupation and not
kick when they are asked to give to
