xiii in Self Defense"
when you remember that the law
gives a man the right to kill in self
defense, you will realize that it is like
ly to give men thru the government
says Morgan. In an editorial in his
Hutchinson News under the caption,
"Inalienable Rights" Morgan said, in
part:
no dead center in the world, no place in
economics or business or the relations be-
tween men where We can make mark and
say that is Interchangeable, immovable. in

The prohibitory law has taken from many
men the privilege of boozing, which was
once held as inalienable here, and stin is
in Great Britain. We won't let speeder
drive a car furiously thru crowded streets,
We will not allow a grocery store to hoard
suger. We refuse to permit a promoter to
sell blue sky. In fact. about half of our
legislation and regulation is to protect the
weak, the innocent, and the foolish by lin
iting the God given powers of the strong
and wise. Practically every great advance
in dealing with human rights is met with
the cry that it is revolutionary, uncon-
stitutional and destructive of the iralien-
able rights of somebody-and it usually is.
But the constitution is stretched, the in
alienable right of some individual gives
way to the welfare of the majority. and
the world moves on. The bill prohibiting
child labor is one of the recent iIiustra-
lions of how she does move.

reasons which appeal to public sympathy,
they are taking a chance on their inalien-

No one doubts that in time of war
the government can draft men into the
army, eoniiscate property, and do a lot
of strenuous acts. Then comes the ques-
ton whether in time of peace it is not Just

right, technically speaking, and unless the

BITRO-PHOSPHATE
IS GOOD FOR thin
NERVOUS PEOPLE

French scientist has discovered an
organic phosphate which should be a very
effective remedy for weak nerves, sleep
lessness, thinness and lack of strength,
energy and vigor.
Its substance is described by specialists
as identical in composition with certain
vital elements naturally found in brain
and nerve cells and one which when taken
into the human system is quickly converted
into healthy living tissue.
This phosphate is already widely known
among druggists in this country as Bitro-
Phosphate and some physicians claim that
through its use strength, energy, vigor and
nerve force are frequently increased in two
weeks time.
DIR. Frederick Kolle. Editor of New
York Physicians Who's Who" says it
should be prescribed by every doctor and
used in every hospital In the United States.
AS there are a great variety of so-called
phosphates, those who wish to test this
substance should be sure to get the gen.
