used occasionally because it accumu-

bones.
Evrey man and woman, sick or

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Hea'thy Flesh
and to Increase Strength,
vioor and Nerve
Force,

Judging from the countless prepa-
rations and treatments which are
continually being advertised for the
purpose of making thin people fieshy,
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 men and women who keeDly feel
their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contain
ed in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nokhing that will supply this
deficiency SO well as the organic
phosphate known among druggists as
bitro-phosphate, which is inexpensive
and is sold by Wilkinson &. Co. and
most 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 produces
welcome transformation in the ap
pearance; the increase in weight fire.
quently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also car
ries with it a general improvement in
the health. Nervousness, sleepless-
ness 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 gen.
eral weakness. ii should not, owing
to its remarkable fesh-growing prop
critics, be used by anyone who does
not desire to put on flesh.

Between the railroad tracks ana

Electro-Metals big plant and just be-

factory, large frame building has
been remodeled and is nearly ready
for the temporary occupancy OF an
other very important new industry

The Fluid Compressed Steel COM
pany has closed negotiations for a
tract of land there with frontage
on both the Burlington tracks and
the river. giving perfect shipping
facilities by both rail and water. The
tract is considered one of the most
desirable near here for manufacture
ing purposes.
The building to be used tempo
rarily, until the steel business makes
it possible to erect large steel
frame building, is one that stood
there formerly. 1t is fifty by 140 feet
in dimensions, and it will house the
electric furnace, casting machines
and other necessary equipment.
Very important Basic Industry.
The tract of land acquired makes
| it possible to enlarge the facilities
w
needed, until the plant is very large
one. This will be done as the opera

dated there.
