INCREASED POSTAGE
PREFERRED TO TAX
ON DRUG ARTICLES

No concerted kick" is made IN Rich

dealers. but some. persons. who are
forced to buy taxable articles fire.
ouently, are not feeling exactly pleas

"A great many people point out to
me that they would rather pay three
cents to mail a letter than add the
inconvenient pennies to every other
purchase they make in a drug store"
said a druggist.
The stamps on letters are ordi-
narily an uneven number and you paid
three cents instead of two, as a mat
ter OF course without giving the matter
a second thought On the other hand,
they say. the drug and luxury tax is
an eternal and COMPOUNDED" nuisance.
Without a doubt" pointed out this
druggist, the tax falls heaviest on
the shoulders Of the drug purchasers,
who in some cases really should not
get it so heavy. find most people
pretty good patriots yet, however.
They are taking this taxing business
philosophically, with a grin of dis
pleasure. maybe, but grin anyway"

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain BitrO-PhOsphate to
Put On Firm, Healthy Flesh and
10 Increase Strength, EigOF
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepara-
lions and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose Of making thin people fleshy, de-
velopsng 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 10 starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contain
ed in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so well as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as
bitTo-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
~ produces a welcome transformation
IN the appearance; the increase in
weight frequently being astonishing
This increase in weight also carries
with IL general Improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness
and lack Of energy. which nearly al
ways accompany excessive thinness,
soon disappear. dull eyes become
bright. and pale cheeks glow with
the bloom Of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro-phos-
phate Is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and general
weakness, II should not, owing to its
remarkable flesh-grOwing properties,
he used by anyone who does not de
sire TO Put on flesh.

FOUNDLINGS' HOME
DRIVE OPENS TODAY

Today marks the start OF the drive
OF the Washington Home For Found
lings for $4,000 fund to aid in the
work Of the home.
The $4,000 which it is expected to
raise through mailed and personal
solicitations is needed to make re-
pairs on the town and country homes
OF the organization and to provide
additional comforts for the fifty
foundlings now under the care Of the
home.
The board OF trustees OF the Wash
ington Home for Foundlings has des-
ignated Saturday as tag day" OF the
campaign. The campaign will also
end on Saturday, the last Of the seven
days drive.
During the summer months the
foundlings are taken to the Gdmmer
home, near Bethesda. Nd, to avoid the
heat OF the city. Unless the children
are taken to the country, physicians
believe that conditions in the city
home would results in sickness and
possibly death for some of the waits
The children cannot be cared for at
the summer home unless the needed
repairs are made. This constitutes
one OF the strongest appeals of the
campaigners for help from the people
OF Washington.
The home, which is nonsectarian,
cares for all founonngs and waits
who may be brought to its doors.
Many Of the babies have been placed
in private homes. Two former occu-
pants of the founding home are now
with Pershing in France. One Of
them recently wrote to Mrs. Simon
Wolf Of the board Of trustees, ex-
pressing his gratitude for the care
he had received while a baby at the
founding home.
