The American Museum Of Natural
History has issued a bulletin giving
many interesting facts relating TO
platinum, one OF the most striking Of
which relates TO its ductility. The
marvellous ductility Of platinum may
be conceived when we consider that
out Of a single troy ounce Of the metal
it would be possible 70 make an al
most infinitely slender wire that would
reach from Santiago, Chile, across the
continent to Rio JaneirO, a distance of
about 1,S0O miles. To draw out plat
mum into so exceedingly fine a wire ii
is covered with thin layer of gold.
This wire is drawn to the thinness of
the former one, and the gold is dis
solved. A small section of this sec
ond wire is then given a coating of
gold, redrawn and the gold covering
dissolved. After this process has been
repeated several times the wire finally
is still intact, but virtually invisible.

MAN MERELY POOR SECOND

E Doubtless the swiftest passage over

For a much less distance a slightly
higher speed was made by an army

that the speed Of a swallow in full

three times that of a swallow. Nor is

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphats to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Visor
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 hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due to
starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is ontained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as itro-phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by Sherman & McCon-
a guarantee of satisfaction or money back.
supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the increase
in weight frequently being astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with IL
a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of enc
ergy, which nearly always accompany ex-
.cessive thinness, should soon disappear.
dull eyes ought to brighten and pale cheeks
glow with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION Although Bitro- phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness.
sleeplessness and general weakness. it
should not, owing to it's tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.
