Judging from the countless preparations

ing advertised for the purpose OF making
thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly holoWs ana

of men and women who keenly feel their

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

under a guarantee of satisfaction or money

by supplying the body cells with the nee

THE FARMERS OF AMERICA
STANDING WITH THE SOUTH

Denver-R Removal of government
restriction on the marketing OF the
cotton crop and reduction in acreage
planted to cotton were urged at the
meeting OF the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union OF America in
convention here. Speakers pointed
out that more diversified farming
plan would aid in development Of the
South, which has been handicapped
by combining farming operations to
cotton
A report by the committee on cot
ton and cotton products said:
There have been more severe re.
strictions on cotton ever since the
beginning of the war than on any 9th
err farm product. Even today there
are restrictions on the trade with
our allies
with these facts as a basis we
feel justified in asking our govern
ment to make every effort to have
these restrictions removed at the
earliest possible moment"
The report also advocated reauc
ton in the acreage OF cotton, declar
ing that the South had been brought
to Industrial slavery by dependence
upon one crop.
