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

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck
and bust and replacing ugly holows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thnness
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 we'll as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as o-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
a 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
with the bloom of perfect health,
CAUTION: Although btro-phosphate
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness
sleeplessness and general weakness, 1t
should not, owing to its tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

rails with but little work, says Popu-
lar Mechanics.
The wheel is of the regular automo-
bile type with "a by 4-inch- pneu-
matte tire, this size being suitable for
use on both large and small cars. The
axle is either a broken front axle or
a short section of strong steel beam.
The emergency axle is bent or
dropped, the offset being necessary to
clear the axle-housing flange or brake
drum. The device is attached by
means of two U-shaped clamps and
nuts. The sketch shows the general
appearance and manner of attaching
the emergency wheel to the rear axle
of car, but it may also be used in
front, as the clamps are easily shifted.

with some attempt at military cohe-
sion. The truck work, however, was
more or less of a problem of every
man to drive his own machine.
New System Developed.
When the American army reached
France, with the greatly restricted
area of operation, the shorter dis
tances for ordinary hauls, and the in
tense congestion of the roads, it was
necessary to develop a military pre-
ciston in handling of trucks, before
that unheard of. The French trans
port was first to develop this pre-
CiSion, and its vital need was shown
in the British offensive on the Aisne
in 1917, when the enormous number
of over $500 trucks moved an entire
British corps in military formation
into the fighting line. Such a column
meant nearly 100 miles of length for
the train. And to have this body Of
trucks operating properly the strict
est discipline was required.
This truck discipline was first sys-
tematized on the French lines by work
and experiments at Camp Johnson,
Fla, near Jacksonville the mother
school of the motor transport corps,
and was soon developed into book
form and standardized for the army.
Thorough Training Given.
To the commercial truck operator,
however, the work done to train the
drivers in the handling of their vehi-
CleS was far more important. Every
man who went into the corps was
given thorough training in the opera
ton Of the motor vehicles, and while
the Camp Johnston school was work
ing out truck discipline enormous re-
pair and shop units were in full op-
GRAFTON in other parts of the country,
Such, for instance at Camp Holabird
near Baltimore, and at Atlanta, while
over in the West there were such
units as at San Antonio. These were
mechanical organizations for repair
work and for shop training.

TO SILENCE BATTLING RODS
Noise Made Is Source of Much Annoy
ance to Occupants of Car-Way
to Remedy Trouble.

Where long rods of small diameter
are used for brake connections, and
so forth, particularly on the smaller
cars, the rattle and chattering they
make is a source of constant annoy
ance. There is an easy way, however,
to put stop to these noises. A coil
spring one-half inch to an inch in
diameter should be firmly attached at
one end to the middle of each rod and
the other end extended under tension
to the frame side member or some 9th
er convenient point for anchorage. The
tension on these springs will hold the
rods rigid and prevent vibration and
noise.

Nc one Is prepared for midsummer

character, supplemented by a sweater
Of sweater-coat. The sport suit has
made a place for itself that nothing
even for the woman who believes in
reducing her expenditure on clothes
to necessities for the sport suit re-
places dressier and less generally
wearable clothes. 1t is smart enough

use it to protect nice dress hanging
in the closet. Washed but seldom it
will last long time, and will be found
more convenient than a bag, as it is
so much easier to insert the dress
without crushing.
Use for Old Leather.
One should always save the tops Of
old shoes, or the gauntlets of heavy
riding gloves or other pieces of leather.
They are excellent as an interlining
for iron holders.
Do not make the holder too large,
as it is clumsy to handle. Those
which are oval in shape are prefer
able. Cut the covering and the inter-
lining the same size and shape, stitch
all the thicknesses on the machine,
close to the edge of the material, then
bind with a tape or piece of seam
binding.

When Uncle Sans armies finished
the war the motor transport corps
comprised a force of roughly 10000
trained drivers of mOtortrucks, cars
and motorcycles.
OF this great force, only about half
were trained drivers when they en-
listed for the service, so it was neces-
sary in order to have this force of
men to train $4,000 men to drive auto
motive vehicles.
The ammunition trains, supply
trains, sanitary trains and casual mo-
torized units which first went over
seas were composed of trained driv-
ers, as a rule. Those who came after
were the men who did not know cars,
engines, or any of the problems of
driving, particularly such problems as
driving over roads under shell fire or
with the great congestion of the roads
to the fighting zone in France. The
men who came in the second great
rush of men for the army had there
fore to be trained from the very be-
ginning 10 KNOW llIe IluCllluc, anu
then to know the problems of driving

Big Problems Presented.
The two big phases were the teach
ing of the mechanism of the truck
,cngine-I say truck because this was
by far the more vital part of the
training Of driving in military forma-
lions of huge fleets of trucks.
Now that the war is over the prob
lem of teaching the mechanism of the
machine is by far the more important
to the commercial truck operator. AS
to the military formation required in
the army, this can be disposed Of
quickly.
On the Mexican border, and with
the Pershing expedition into Mexico,
the problem of mass operations with
trucks was of minor Importance. The
drivers went forward with some SEM
blance Of military formation, with
certain distances between trucks, and

$431 900, under contract; 145 miles,
costing $550,0O0, ready for contract,
and about 610 miles, estimated at
$1,310,000, contemplated. Local road
and bridge expenditures will amount
to about 100000.
Nevada has four miles, costing $751;
666, under contract; 102 miles costing
S657, ALP, ready for contract; 1913
miles, costing $523,000, contemplated.
Local expenditures on maintenance
