Judging from the countless preparations and
treatments which are continually being adj
vertised for the purpose of making thin peo-

and replacing ugly holows and angles by the
soft curved lines of health ard beauty there
are evidently thousands of men and women
who keenly feel their excessive tl1inness.

starved nerves. Our bodies need more phos-
plate than is Contained in modern foods
Physicians claim there is nothing that Will

The modern photoplay is rapidly ap-

SERGEANT BRINKLEY

Sergeant Brinkey was a good officer and a gentleman
Back OF him was a long line of distinguished ancestors. His
father was a valiant soldier in the Confederacy, John Brinkley
came to Memphis like many other country boys, without inlu-
ence, without direction and unknown. He would have made
name for himself as a banker or business man just as easily as
he made himself a distinguished figure in the police department
had his lines fallen in a different place. The entire community
has a right to deplore the loss OF a good, conscientious officer
He died in the performance of his duty. The men with him
were equally as courageous. Sergeant Brinkley died for the pro-
lection of the people of Memphis, He leaves a wife and two
devoted children, about whom his ambition conferred.
The people of Memphis should give some suitable and sub
stantial evidence of their appreciation of Sergeant Brinkley's
devotion and sacrifice, 1t is enough that his wife and children
should lose a husband and father and protector. 1t is too much
to require them to sacrifice their sole dependence.
