Katy Reservoir Work to Begin.

Active work on the NJ. X. & L.
railways big water reservoir just
west OF town is to be commenced
just as soon as the contractor, X. +.
.Amis. OF Winfield, kans., can get his
equipment here and the weather
opens up so that regular work can be
undertaken.
The big reservoir will be located
on the Griffith, Egger and Johannig-
meier tracts west OF this city, COM
rrising ninety acres. The reservoir
proper will occupy fifty-seven acres,
which will sure make some pond
and it will take large force of work
men about six months at least to
complete the work, and possibly a
good deal longer. as there is at pres
ent timber ON most OF the land All
the wood and even the stumps will
be removed, which will entail great
deal Of labor. .-'s
The large water pipes to be used
between the terminal and reservoir
have been on the grounds for a good
while, but all the work has been held
up pending adjustments of claims in
connection with the purchase of the
land upon which the reservoir is to
be constructed, All such claims
have been satisfactorily settled and
deeds for all the land procured and
the matter is now ready for active
operations to begin.-Appleton City

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually being
advertised for the purpose of making thin
people f1eshy, 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 orten due to
starved nerves. Our bodies neec more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bItro- phosphate. which is In
expensive and Is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves difectly and
by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphorie food elements. bitro-
phosphate should produce a 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 en-
ergy, which nearly always accompany ex-
cessive thinness, should soon disappear
dull eyes brighten and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION While Ritro- Phosphate is
unsurpassed for the relief of nervousness
general debility, etc, those taking it who
do not desire to put flesh should use
extra care in avoiding fat-producing foods
