Thin PEOPLE

PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
TO Increase Strength, viaor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised Tor the purpose of making
thin people fleshy, developing arms neck
and bust, and replacing ugly holiows 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 often due
to starved nerves Our bodies need moro
phosphate than Is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so we'll as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate, which is mex
pensive and Is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance; the in
crease in weight frequently being aston
fishing.
Increase in weight also carries with IL
general Improvement in the health
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear. dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom Of perfect health.
!. CAUTION: = Although bit-o-phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness.
sleeplessness and general weakness. &it
should not, owing to its tendency to i'm
crease weight. be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on f1esh

London, June 1.-THE king sent an
eQuerry to the American embassy with
his majesty's congratulation to Lieu

In commenting on the arrival Of

New York. July 2s.--Broadway's
new form of art The Blues." is as
ineiegant as the carvings OF Da-
honey and as crude as Alaskan,
totem poles and yet the sad airs
and shivers of the blues" have
cheered the great dry way in the
same manner as the Castles In their
first new dances.
The first exponent of the blues"
was Miss Gilda Gray, in a summer
musical melange. and she was SO
modestly but superbly tough that
the audiences have loved her. She
flies the Jolly Roger from the Bar
harry coast with the fever of the
dead and gone dance halls forever
echoing in every quivering notc.
The lyrics are sung in minor keys
to the accompaniment of Jelly
wiggle. They arc a kind OF coon
chant. weird enough. but peculiarly
expressive " the dance halls and
cheap cabarets from witch Miss
Gray got her start.
Here are the names OF some OF the
famous blues" songs: THE Yellow
Dog Rag" The Dirty Dozen The
Regretful Blues" The Memphis
Blues" The Bealstrest Blues" and
The st. Louis"
The st. Louis" song is typical.
Here is q verse:
They're servin' me coffee
And they're servin' me tea;
1 got everything l want but the gin
house key.
All OF the lyrics are quite as in
comp prehensible yet the singer fairly
froze in atmosphere of red lights.
While her minor notes tore at the
auditory nerves she had a peculiar
quality of impassiveness which
showed her complete control over
swaying muscles in what now is
called the shimmy." The exponents
OF the blues" declare that the
shimmy" should be danced with the
hips and not the shoulders.
Here Is a rip-roaring couplet that
all the blues" fans are singing:
rybody's crazy bout the dog.
gone blues.
But I'm happy, Y-a-s happy.
Samuel Merwin, the writer, came
down from his summer place this
week and at the Dutch Treat weekly
round table told OF an old codger UP
in his Connecticut town who went
to bed right after breakfast one
morning. No one could get a word
ont of him
sent for the village doctor. The
doctor went to the bedside and
looked his patient over. After
awhile he finally said: What is
the matter with you, anyway
The patient opened his eyes,
looked up and said: Hell. Doc, I'm
just sulkin'."
All OF the better class tailor shops
in Manhattan are doing a rushing
fall business just now. The word
has gone out to the classy dressers
that by fall the price of a business
suit will be like the price OF a quar-
ter section OF the Kohinoor dia-
mond. Schanz, who is New York's
male Paquin in setting the sartorial
pace. is now charging $40 for a
business suit. His prewar price was
$50 and four months ago he was
charging $40. 1t is said that s175
suit will be the fall price. Ten
dollars is a modest sum for a mans
hat in such hat shops as Dobbs. l
saw cap in one hat store window
the other day marked 81 Sulka,
the shirt maker. hasn't a silk shirt
for less than SIS. and the price goes
on up to S35. One must buy at least
three shirts or the order Is not re-
ceived. The most surprising thing
is the rush of business that each of
these Fifth avenue shops enjoys.
