THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bltro-Phosphate to Put
on Firm. Healthy Flesh and TO
Increase strength, Vigor and
Nerve Force,

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually being
advertised for the purpose Of making thin
people feshy. developing arms, neck and
bust and replacing ugly hollows ana
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
the organic phosphate known among drug
glsts as phosphate, which Is mex
penslve and Is sold by n. B. DanfOrth
and all druggists under r 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-

This increase in weight also carries
with it general improvement I'm the

cheeks glow with the bloom Of perfect

CAUTION Although bitro-phosphate is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,

who does not desire 10 put on flesh.

Colonel House at Armageddon

Had we Phidias, what embodiment in
marble might we.not have of that figure
to whom "The Evening Post" is devoting
so many of it's columns "In the Arma-
goddon of the World: The Last Stand Of
Humanity and Civilization Against Au-
tocracy and Barbarism: Colonel e. NJ
House" reads the announcement. And
the first act of the drama more than
bears out the prediction
A trifle cryptic is the style, naturally.
But the picture we CLEAN is unforget-
table. Most Americans had thought that
President Wilson was not among the
very first to see and estimate the Great
War; But that is evidently complete
mistake For as early as the fall of 1913
Colonel House and he foresaw it ALL Our
pacific Mexican policy Cor was it little
more like wary was astutely planned
in exact relation to known dangers in
Europe. And in May, 1914, Colonel
House was dispatched to Europe for the
express purpose Of heading off Arma-
geddon.
What a scene! Colonel House, with
one foot on the White House portico and
another on the Eiffel Tower, waves back
Armageddon, sternly, emphatically. A
lean, black-coated arm swings eastward
in warning gesture. The diplomats of
Berlin, of Petrograd, of London, of
Vienna, shudder in their secret places.
Succeeding articles will no doubt ex-
plain just why that upraised arm failed
to persuade Armageddon. Also why
failing there, it failed also to warn
America and the White House of few
things that have since become relatively
clear to a great many Americans. But
one pose at a time. Colonel House shak.
ing his finger at Armageddon surely de-
serves place on the frieze of the most
immortal Parthenon we can ever hope
to raise.

Moral Values
The intangible values which are the moral

Destruction of property is of no signifi-

buildings can wait-although if that is
consideration this country was never max

The Gambling Soul

The resurgence Of gambling under the
Hylan administration and a new Gro
senthal case" reveal how thinlv the
veneer of the law represses the gambling
instinct of the race 1t is trulv very
remarkable how great progress, how
ever, has been made toward thickeninc
the veneer.
To-day the Hylan administration is
discreditcd for permitting the gambling
houses to reopen only to the extent thew
have. Scarce generation or two ago
they were open, without let or hindranca
from the law, and with them lotteries
and horse racing and all their like. One
after another they have been suppressed
and, it is interesting to note, mainly for
business reasons. Gambling is the native
instinct of the infantile soul, which
means that it is a real pleasure to con.
siderable part of the human racc-we had
almost said "to a larger part" This
source of pleasure has been suppressed
and outlawcd, partly because of a steady
increase in what may be called "publc
virtue" but mainly, we imagine, because
business reasons are irresistible.
Business before pleasure
We now seem facing AN equally inter-
