thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
EOthinE Like Plain BitrO-PhOsphate to
Put on Firm. Healthy Flesh and
TO Increase Strength, EigOr
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepara-
tions and treatments which are con
tinuaIly being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin people fleshy, de
vclOping arms. neck and bust. and re-
placing 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 usually
due TO starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contain
ed in modern foods. Physicians claim
deficiency so well as the organic phoS-
phate known among druggists as
bitrO-phOsphate, which Is inexpensive
and is sold by Peoples Drug stores In
Washington 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 quick
ly produces welcome transformation
in the appearance: the increase in
weight frequently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with 1t a general Improvement in the
health. Nervousness, Slecplessness
and lack of energy. which nearly al
ways accompany excessive thinness,
soon disappear, DUH eyes become
bright, and pale cheeks glow with
the bloom of perfect health
CAUTION: - Although bitrO phos,
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessncss and general
weakness, v IL should not. owing TO it's
remarkable flesh growing properties,
be used by anyone who does not de
sire 10 put on flesh.

COMMUNITY OPERA
TO OPEN APRIL 25

The opening date for "The Bo
hemian Girl" by the Community Opera
Of washington. under the direction Of
Edouard Albion, is set forward. The
two performances will be given on
Friday and Saturday evening, April
25 and %, in the auditorium of Cen
tral High School.
The Bohemian Girl chorus num-
bers. seventy-five, and the orchestra
under Roland Bond. has fifty MEM
bers. Mr.. Bond is a nephew of Ella
Wheeler Wilcox. He is in Washing
ton as a war-worker. but his reputa-
ton as a musician is established
through his leadership of the Mecca
Temple Band. of New York, the larg-
est Shriners band in the country.
The community opera choruses
should be appreciated said Denis
Connell, dramatic coach for the com
munity operas. 1.-THE operas are the
result Of long and faithful service OF
these people in preparing, through
many evenings. the exacting music OF
choruses which have been rehearsed
under Mr.. Dykema."
"I am sure,n added Mr.. Conner,
that there are many here from dis
tant towns who will return home with
ideas as to how to establish such worK
in their own homes" Mr.. Connell
gave some interesting sidelights on
community opera in the making, un-
der the War Camp Community Service.
In the first place, many evenings are
spent in drilling with the music. Then
comes singing without the music.
After that the action" must be
worked out, without the principals;
then comes the time when principals,
chorus. orchestra, all unite.
That time has now arrived with
the Community Opera of Washington.
The performance of The Bohemian
Girl next week will bear testimony
to the excellence of chorus and or
chestra."

GE0PHONE, USED IN WAR,
NOW SAVES MINERS LIVES

Use in experiments OF the geophone,
a listening device invented during
the war by the French and used to
detect enemy tunneling operations
and to locate enemy artillery, has
proved the industrial value of the in
vention, says a statement yesterday
by the Bureau Of Mines, Department
Of the Interior.
The instrument not only has been
used with success in metal mines and
in tunnel work, but II is said to be
especially valuable in locating miners
entombed following A disaster. Obser-
YatiOns, however, have shown that di-
rection can be determiped much more
easily in rock than in coal.
