thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vieor
and Nerve Force,

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing 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 keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often 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
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
ishing.
Increase in weight also carries with it
q 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
wiGl the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: Although bitro- phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
steeplessness and general weakness, it
should not, owing to it's tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

The original Declaration itself and the;
desk on which it was written are pre-
served in the state department at Wash
ington The document, written on parch-
ment in a bold hand and bearing the
original signatures was deposited with
the department of state when the gov
eminent was organized in 1889, and is stin
there, though sealed up in a steel case
to preserve it from light and air on &C
count of the fading text and signatures,
some OF which have become illegible.
That OF John Hancock which heads the
names of the Massachusetts signers, is
still conspicuous by it's boldness, while
that of Stephen Hopkins of Rhode Island
still indicates the physical infirmity that
made it almost impossible for him to
write his name. Other historic names on
the old document some of them hardly
1egible, are Samuel Adams, Benjamin
Franklin, Roger Sherman, Robert Morris
Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benja
min Rush and others less famous. Thomas
Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of
Independence, gave the desk as a wedding
present to a gentleman of Boston, who
married Jefferson's granddaughter, and
it remained in the family till 1880, when
1t was presented to President Hayes, who
placed it in the state department build

At nine o'clock that night George
Patton rode up to the ferryman at

the general commanding at Elizabeth,
demanded to be taken at once across
to General Howe at New York. He
found the general just about to go to

General Howe read it and called an

Peace EpiqramS,

At a dinner the other night to Ed
ward Price Bell, the well-known Amer
lean journalist, several epigrams were
related about the peace terms. The
Americans described it as "a peace
with a punch" An English speaker
said he had heard it described as "a
peace with vengeance"

He dimly remembers from his history
lesson that something or other, called
the Declaration of Independence, was
signed that day in 1776. Sometimes
he is not quite so sure of the date as
that and he knows very little concern
ing the original document itself.
The original of the Declaration,
written by hand on parchment, and
now much worn and faded, is care
fully preserved in an alright and
light-proOf case in the library of the
department Of state. Only facsimiles
are exhibited today, the original be-
ing too precious a document to risk

A facsimile of the Declaration is
on exhibition in the division of his
tory in the older building of the Ma
tional museum at Washington, where
there are also preserved personal
relics and mementos of several of the
members of the second continental
congress who signed this great reso-
luton.
The history of the origin and draft
ing of the Declaration is of consider
able interest. In the second CONT
mental congress, which was meeting
in Philadelphia, Richard Henry Lee
of Virginia, on June 7, 1776, intro
gI11onH thn fpIIpuyinry nb
was seconded by John Adams:
"Resolved, That these united col
onies are, and of right ought to be-
free and independent states; that
they are absolved from all allegiance
to the British crown, and that all polit-
ical connection between them and the
state of Great Britain is, and ought
to be, totally dissolved.
"That it is expedent forthwith to
take the most effectual measures for
forming foreign alliances.
"That a plan of confederation be
prepared and transmitted to the re-
spective colonies for their approba.
tion."
Consideration Of this resolution was
postponed, and on June II, Thomas
Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin
Franklin, Roger Sherman and r. II
Livingston were appointed commit
tee to prepare a Declaration to serve
as preamble to this independence
resolution. This committee, known as
the Jefferson committee, submitted @
draft of the Declaration on June %
which was laid on the table for later
consideration. On July / congress

A Republic of the World
By James A. Edgerton
I%

When our deathless Declaration
Brought a new land into birth,
1t was not alone a nation
1t conferred upon the earth;
But it added to the glory
OF that fair, immortal page
The first chapters of the story
OF a new and golden age.
Over this achievement real,
That the eyes of all might see,
1t erected an ideal
Of humanity made free;
1t set up for all the races
The same goal that it had won
And it babe them turn their faces
To the rising of the sun.
Since that time the generations
OF mankind are growing free,
While the progress of the nations
Keeps in step with Liberty;
New republics are the fashion,
OF our own design and plan,
Burning with the sacred passion
OF the brotherhood of man.
What though now the lands king
ridden
All are weltering in gore,
Freedoms light cannot be hidden
By the clouds and wrack of war;
For, from out its devastations,
A new flag may be unfurled
OF a Union of the nations,
A Republic of the World.
Herein lies the deeper meaning
OF the many in the one:
TITS lesson for the cleaning
OF all lands beneath the sun.
Racial rivers coalescing
Here commingle and increase.
So all earth may find the blessing
Born of union and of peace.

Demanded to Be Taken Across to
General Howe.

he was about to attack certain Brit
ish troops in the neighborhood OF
Trenton. The general commanding at
Elizabeth gave Patton a dispatch to
General Howe, intended for Washing
ton, stating that the troops at Tren-
ton were without arms and ammuni-
ton and practically defenseless. At
the same time he ordered large por-
ton of his force there. General Howe,
on receipt of the dispatch, ordered
troops on the Jersey coast hurried to
Trenton. The consequence Of this
secret service diplomacy was that
Washington made his transfers be-
tween Dobbs Ferry and Morristown
without being disturbed.
When the dispatch rider had fin
ished his account Washington said to
him:
"Your riding into the enemy's lines
as a deserter was an exhibition of
splendid nerve; your refusal to bear
a message back to me was stroke
Of genius. Had you agreed, it would
have shown conclusively that you were
spy, seeking to deceive and gather
information. You are the champion
secret service rider in this or any
other army"
"And the champion liar" added
Captain Hamilton.
"Given a spy" said Patton, smiling,
land a bad liar, and the result is
scaffold"

This Day of Enlightenment.
In the generous spirit of our time,
and the broad catholicity of this hour,
we cultivate no resentment, and har-
Dor no revenges. We remember Great
Britain not as the land of George the
Third and Lord North. but as the cOun-
try Of Shakespeare and Milton, of
Chatham and Burke, of Gladstone and
John Bright. With the same language
and lineage, we no longer settle our
difficulties by the bloody issue of war,
but by peaceful arbitration, and are
rivals only in the race for better civ
ilization and it's beneficent results. We
Of the North and our Southern breth-

larging and perpetuating the republic.

Communication between Morristown
and Dobbs Ferry was maintained by
dispatch riders who Travelled in line
between the two points through
Orange. At recent deCentennial
celebration of the founding of the lat
ter place a bronze statue of the dis
patch rider was erected.
One day George Patton, one of these
messengers, stood in Washington's
private office at his Morristown head
quarters. (Any visitor may see the
room today just as it was then, on the
northwest corner Of the building.)
Washington, sitting at his desk,
turned and handed Patton a dispatch,
saying:
81 wish you could contrive to let
this dispatch fall into the hands of
the enemy. Further, I would like in
formation of their movements when
they receive it, though l admit l don't
