If thin and NERVOUS,
TRY PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate TO
Put on Firm. Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength. VigOr
and Nerve Force.

When one stops to consider the host OF
thin people who are searching continually
for method by which they may in
crease their flesh to normal proportions by
off of protruding angles with the attend
ant bloom of health and attractiveness, 1t
is no wonder that many and varied sug-
gestions along this line appear from time to
time in public print.
While excessive thinness might be at
tributed to various and subtle causes in
different individuals it is well-known fact
that the lack of sufficient PHOSPHORUS in
the human system is very largely respon-
sible for this condition. Experiments ON
humans and animals by many scientists
have demonstrated beyond question of
doubt that a body deficient in PHOSPHORUS
becomes nervous, sickly and thin. A noted
author and professor In his book, Chem
istry and Food Nutrition" published in 1918,
says: "* that the amount of phos-
OF man is seriously underestimate in many
of our standard text books"
1t seems to be well established that this
deficiency in PHOSPHORUS may now be met
by the use of an organic phosphate known
throughout English speaking countries as
of this phosphate by the nerve tissue the
phosphoric content when absorbed In the
amount normally required by nature soon
produces welcome change in our body and
mind. Nerve tension disappears, vigor and
strength replace weakness and lack of ener-
hollows and abrupt angles, becoming envel-
oped in glow of perfect health and beauty
and the will and strength to be up and
doing.
CAUTIoN:-whne Bitro-P Phosphate is UNI
surpassed for the relief of nervousness, gem
eral debility etc, those taking 1t who do
not desire to put on flesh should use extra
care in avoiding fat-producing foods.

PRESIDENT vETOES
LIGHT SAVING ACT
Second Time Wilson Has Refused
to Sign Measure.
FARMERS CAN COOPERATE
Chief Executive Declares Law as 1t
Stands Is Aid to Increase in Pro-
duction, Which Is Country's
Greatest Need.

Washington, Aug. 16.-President
Wilson vetoed the bill repeating the
daylight saving law. The president
said he did so with 1.-The utmost reluc-
lance" because he realized "the very
considerable and in some respects
very serious inconvenience to which
the daylight saving law subjects the
farmers of the country"
This is the second time the president
has vetoed repeal of the law by which
the clocks are set forward an hour on
the last Sunday in March and turned
back an hour the last Sunday in Octo-
Der. The first veto was several weeks
ago. the repeal being attached as a
rider to the annual agricultural bill.
Act With utmost Reluctance"
The presidents message vetoing
the bill is as follows:
81 return this bill, FL. r. 1854, An
act for the repeal of the daylight saw
ing law without my signature, but do
so with the utmost reluctance. l rea-
lie the very considerable and in
some respects very serious lnconven-
fences to which the daylight saving
law subjects the farmers of the coun-
try, to whom we owe the greatest con-
sideration, and who have distinguished
themselves during these recent years
of war and want by patriotic endeav-
ors worthy of all praise.
"But / have been obliged to balance
one set of disadvantages against an
other and to venture a judgment as to
which were the more serious for the
country. The immediate and pressing
need of the country is production, in
creased and increasing production, in
all lines of industry. The disorganiza-
ton and dislocation caused by the war
have told nowhere SO heavily as at
the Industrial centers-in manufacture
and in the many industries to which
the country and the whole world
must look to supply needs which cam
not be ignored or postponed.
Farms Need Factories Output.
at is to these that the daylight saw
ing law IS of most service. 1t minis
ters to economy and to efficiency. And
the interest of the farmer is not in all
respects separated from these inter-
ests. He needs what the factories
produce along with the rest of the
world. He is profted by the prosper
ity which their success brings about.
His own life and methods are more
easily adjusted, l venture to think,
than those of the manufacturer and
the merchant.
"These are considerations which
have led me to withhold my signature
from this repeal. | hope that they are
considerations which will appeal to
the thoughtful judgment of the house
and in the long run to the thoughtful
Judgment of the farmers of the coun-
try, who have always shown an admir-
able public spirit"
