HOW TO STOP

Nothing Like Plain Bitro-P Phosphate to
Strengthen Weak Nerves and
+. Increase Strength and
Vigor III \ H

According to a. noted French seient-
ist, the most effective Sremedy for
nervousness, insomnia and ailments due
to depleted nerve force, is form of
organic phosphate known among drug
gists in this country as Bitro Phes-
phate.
It is described as substance WHICH
is similar in composition to the phos-
phorus naturally found in the brain
and nerve cells and. being easily and
quickly assinilated, the work of ere
ating nerve force, strength and viger
begins Immediately it is taken into the
human system.
There are many reports of astoniish-
ing results from its use, some showing
remarkable improvement even in stub-
born eases of long standing nerve weak
ness AS there are many kinds of phos-
lphates, care should be exercised to pro-
cure the genuine Bitro-Phosphate.

"It was my firm belief that d grea'
majority Of the people of the state are

suggestions for new and amendatory

from Legislators themselves. The people
have scarcely familiarized themselves
with the legislation of the 1919 session

BIRDS AS FARMERS AIDS.

Valuable contributions to the knowl-
edge of the practical uses of birds
were made through the department of
applied orthinology of the National
Association of Audubon Societies in
charge of H. K. Job. At his expert
mental bird farm at Amston, Conn,
Mr.. Job has made important investi-
cations and has also distributed in
formation to neighboring land owners,
and spread facts through his lectures
and writing, as well as through the
publications of the organization.
The Association has been active in
saving the klamath and Malheur Bird
Reservation in Oregon and California,
from being dismantled and drained on
the plea that they are needed as
ranches. 1t was shown that the birds
which found refuge there, especially
in the breeding season, justified the
protection afforded them as the wine
ed conservators of grain and fruit
crops.
With the passage of the Enabling
Act Of the Migratory Bird Treaty. the
means for shielding the birds from de-
struction on their way from the United
States to Canada has greatly in
creased and with the coming of peace,
the champions of the wild life of the

OUR NEW OPPORTUNITY IN

900 900 900 during the war period and
the interest payments thereon from
less than $4,000, 900, 900 per annum to
over $4,000 ,000, 600 per annum ac-
cording to a statement made by o. P.

City Bank of New York in an address
before the National Association of
Narnish Manufacturers at its annual
meeting in New York last evening.
In addition to this the uncovered
paper money of the world has in

in 1914 TO about s24 000. 900 900 at the
present time. To what extent this

with a less handicap that that of many

exports over imports during the war
period have aggregated about $4,000, -
100000 and as a result the nation now
holds. fully third Of the gold OF
The world. Meantime our indebted
ness abroad has been reduced from
an estimated $4,000. 00o, 600 TO approx

$4,000, DSu 600. We have thus been
transformed from a debtor to a credi-
tor nation and instead of sending
many millions of dollars abroad to
pay interest, we shall in future be
receiving mary millions of dollars in
payment of interest. The stock of

larger tonnage of our own steam
ships than ever before The Central
Powers which were accustomed to ex-
port about $4,000, 100000 worth of
merchandise annually were cut off
from overseas commerce during the
war and the Allied countries which
formerly exported about $4,000, 900, 900
worth of merchandise annually re-
duced that total to little more than
$4,000, 100000, thus creating the great
demand abroad especially for manu-
features. This gives to the United
States at the present moment a spec
ial opportunity to enlarge its exporta-
ton of manufactures upon which we
must chiefly rely for future enlarge
ment of our export trade. To do this
successfully we must closely study
foreign markets, make goods to suit
the requirements of those markets, and
sell them upon accommodating terms,
all OF which we shall now be better
| able to do than ever before under the
opportunities offered by the Webb
Law. coupled with the use of our own
shipping, plentiful supplies of capital
for manufacturing, and increased
