Nothing Like Plain BitrO-Phosphate

is no wonder that many and varied
suggestions along this line appear

While excessive thinness might he
attributed to various and subtle caus-
es in different individuals IL is a we'll

PHOSPHORUS in the human system is
very largely. responsible for this con-

animals by many scientists have DEM

that body deficient in PHOSPHORUS
becomes nervous. sickly and thin, A
noted author and professor in his
book, Chemistry and Food Nutrition"
published in 1918. says: 80 that
the amount of phosphorous required
for the normal nutrition of man is
seriously underestimated in MANY Of
our standard text books"
1t seems to be well established that
this deficiency in phosphorous NAV

phosphate known throughout English
speaking countries as Bitro- Phos-

this phosphate by the nerve tissue
the phosphoric content when absorbo

by nature soon produces a welcome
change in our body and mind. Nerve
tension disappears, vigor and strength
replace weakness and lack of energy.

DEATH RATE DROPS
WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES

Lives of thousands of Armenian
hildren already have been saved by
the Near East Relief taking over the
Armenian Orphanuges, according to de-
tailed reports, Which have just reached
the headquarters of that organization,
These institutions had been run by the
Armenians since the beginning Of the
war to care for the children whose
parents had been murdered BY the
Turks. Because Of lack Of food.
clothing and medicine, the death rate
among the children IN these instItu-
lions averaged as high as twenty or
thirty q day 10 some cases.
When Armenian funds became IN
adequate the Near East Relief took
charge Of the orphanage. Since that
time the death rate has been greatly
reduced. Given good food and care
the children are quickly returning to
normal physical and mental condition.
Il is estimated By persons who have
made survey OF Armenia that 10000
children will die during the next year
unless they are given food and care.
Near East Relief is the only organl-
Eation now operating In Western asia
and II 10 making an appeal to save
these Christian children.
