Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like plain BItro. Phosphate 4
Put, on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vlgor
and Nerve Force,

Judging from the countless prepara-
tlons and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose Of making thin people fleshy, de-
veloping 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 ex-
CeSSiVe 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 defi-
cheney so well as the organic phosphate
known among druggists as b~itro-phos-
phate. which IL inexpensive and Is sold
by Washburn-Lyle In Memphis and
most all druggists under a guarantee
Of satisfaction or money back. BY feed
ing the nerves directly and by supply
ing the body cells with the necessary
phate quickly produces a welcome
transformation In the appearance; the
increase In weight frequently being as
tonishing,
This increase In weight also carries
with II a general improvement In the
health, Nervousness, slecplessness and
lack Of energy, which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon dis
appear, duh eyes become bright, and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom Of
perfect health,

REVEALS
NEW SUBMARINES
Real Story of Undersea Boats
of Great Size Given Out
at Last.

LONDON, Jan. l5.-The admiralty
has permitted to be made public the
real story OF the submarine cruisers
the British successfully constructed at
the time the Germans were boastlng
OF their supersubmarine.
The British craft have two tunnels
and make "a knots an hour on the
surface under steam power. They car
nv from eight to 10 torpedo tubes, two
or three four-inch guns and also are
equipped with internal combustion mo-
tors for surface cruising, The bat
teries for the undersea power can be
charged from both the steam and COM
bustIon engines and an ingenious
| scheme has been devised for quickly
dismantling the tunnels FOR suomerg-
The vessels displace 1000 tons on
the surface and 1900 tons submerged
| They are $40 feet long, have a beam
of 56 feet and q cruising radius oil
1000 miles. They are designed TO be
even a match for torpedo boat destroy
ers in surface fighting. ,
1t is also known that the British
have successfully built a submarine
carrying a l2-inch gun, although. the
details of this craft have not beer
The new ideas embraced in the con
struction of the craft include tn
'~'Cushioning' of the boat to withstand
the terrific conclusion of the gun, This
idea is represented unofficially as hav
ing been successful. So far as is know
the new craft was never employed
against any enemy vessel.

wished to preserve the natural beauty

Two ways were pointed out. First,
that the scouts should act as five
patrolmen particularly on holidays,

and fall seasons. He suggested that

night. The evening opened by a
prayer by our Scout Executive, Mr..
Virgin. He then addressed the par
ents of the scouts on the scout move
ment. When he finished we are all
sure that they had n better vision
of the value of scouting and with
more enthusiasism to help their
boys.
Scoutmaster Vanaman who had
arranged the program for the eve
ming acted as chairman with his
usual enthusiasm.
The next on the program was
Assistant Scoutmaster Kohlhaas who
gave talk on first aid. Some scouts
of the troop then gave a demonstra-
ton on bandaging which was done
very successfully.
Lieutenant Walter L. Vanaman of
Bash Hospital No. 2, Fort McHenry,
Baltimore, Md, talked on some
wonders of surgery since the war.
He also told about his experiences
with the wounded soldiers.
Lieutenant Vanaman invited the
troops down to Fort McHenry where
they could talk with some real
heroes.
Assistant Scoutmaster Sparrow
then gave talk and demonstration
on the blackboard on woodcraft.
He explained to them the require
ments for the second class test in
woodcraft which most of the scouts
are working on. The process of
making friction fire with bow and
drill were then explained and dem
onstrated.
Capt. George Davis of the Court
of Honor gave a talk on map max
ing.
Assistant Scoutmaster Moser gave
a talk and demonstration on signal
ling using buzzer blinker, wigwag,
and semaphore.
Refreshments were served to all
present.
Taps were then blown by Mr..
Moser and the enjoyable evening was
ended.

which scouts can help would be to

a few weeks six thousand young
trees will be set out in the immediate
vicinity of Harrisburg and asked for
us to assist in putting out these trees.
1t is the plan to make the plant

FORT WASHINGTON

Scouts. you have all seen the hill
which rises no the west bank OF the
Susquehanna opposite Market Street.
Do you know that crowning that
elevation there is an old line of
entrenchments and breastworkS
which were placed there in one of
the most critical and most dramatic
periods in the history of our coun-
try? Grass has grown in the bitches
and over the embankments. Trees
have sprung up and have grown
there for sixty years. Part of the
trenches have been cut away for a
wagon road and at another point
the railroad has cut through. Ashes,
broken bottles, old shoes, tin cans;
rubbish of all sorts is scattered over
the ground. Beds of boughs and
charred embers mark the spots
where tramps have spent the night.
This is what is known to-day as
Fort Washington.
Let us close our eyes and in our
minds travel back to the days of
1863 when grandmother was young
girl with long curls hoopskirts, and
dainty hand-mitts. Before dawn on
a warm morning in late June we
stand on the hill and wait for day
light. The leaves and grass blades
are wet with the heavy dew. The
fresh morning air carries Il frag-
rant sweetness from the rich farm
land of the Cumberland Valley. A
pale gray light appears in the east
and from a barnyard down the val
ley there comes the crow of roost-
er. Birds are beginning to twitter
in the branches overhead, and the
spirit of peace seems to rest over
the land.
The gray mounts higher into the
heavens; the light, fleecy clouds in
the east are growing roSe-petals, and
the dark curtains of night are slowly
drawn back revealing to our eyes a
long line of wagons moving slowly
down the valley pike and over the
old wooden bridge into Harrisburg.
Wagons loaded with farm produce,
clothing, and household furniture
stretch away as far as the eye can
see. Wagons from Maryland, from
Adams county, from York county,
from all the counties of southern
Pennsylvania; all seeking a place
of safety beyond the Susquehanna.
Day after day they have been going
over the wooden bridge. This one
is driven by bearded farmer: an
other by a woman whose eyes are
swollen from crying. Her husband
is somewhere in that region vaguely
known as "the front" Another
wagon is driven by a slender lad
whose eyelids are heavy from the

hibit which has attracted much at
tention during the past week. Many
scouts contributed to the window and
helped to make it a success, and all
through the week it has been an OBJ
ject of admiration and enlightment
for the people passing by. At all
hours of the day there has been n
crowd in front of the window learn
ing just what scouts do and how
they do it. Another part of the ex-
hibit which attracted much attention
was the hike to the Square of Troop
Is. Assistant Scoutmaster Boone was
in charge of the squad. and the busi-
ness-like way in which the members
of the troop build their fires, using
proper precautions to protect the
pavement, and then cooked their sup

ZIONISM.

The British Conjoint Committee,
which shortly before the Balfour
Declaration created a storm of re-
volt in Anglo Jewish life by issuing
formal denunciation of Zionism,
has undergone a complete reversal
of it's attitude toward Jewish Ma
tionalism.
Special cables from London to the
American Jewish press announce
that this body, which is composed of
delegates from the Jewish Board of
Deputies and the Ang1o-Jewish As
ISOLATION, has voted to present to
the Peace Conference the following
requests:
/. That Great Britain shall be-
come the trustee of Palestine, and be !.
given the mandate of the League of
Nations to facilitate the achievement
of the Zionist project in accord
ance with the ,Ba1four. Declaration,
and to aid in creating such condi-
tons as may be necessary to give
to the Jews the controlling voice in
the government of the country in
keeping with democratic principles.
2. The Jewish Sabbath and Jew
ish holidays shall be recognized Of
fcially as days of rest in Palestine
3. Hebrew shall be the official
language of Palestine.
4. The Jews in Palestine shall
have cultural autonomy.
5. They shall have the guardian
ship of the Holy Shrines.
This formula is in strict accord
with the Zionist program as pre-
scented to the Peace Conference.
