While excessive thinness might be at trbuted 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
 sponsible for this condition. Experiments on humans and animals by many scien- lists haze demonstrated beyond question of doAbt that a body deficient In phos- phorous becomes nervous, sicl<y and thin. noted author and professor in his book,
 Chemistry and Food Nutrition,' published In 1918 says: that the amount of phosphorous required for the normal nutrition of is seriously underesti- mated in many of our standard text books"
 It seems to be well established that this deficiency in phosphorous may now be met by the use of organic phosphate known throughout English speaking coun- tries as Bitro- Phosphate. Through the similation of this phosphate by the nerve tissue of the phosphOrfc content when absorbe in the amount normally required

the Japanese situation. i've want the cast to study it, he said.
 Must Pass Tests.
 Immigrants now come to the United States freely and are required to pass mental and physical tests, Chairman Johnson said cNpla ming his bill. Many classes, such as lawyers, tors are exempted from these tests. These are the class that it is proposed to have come with limited passports. That is to say, they are to come as vis- 1tOTS, and not as prospective citizens. If one comes as prospective citizen he must so state, and agree in writ ing to place himself under probation, reporting at stated intervals. That is all there is to it. Visitors are welcome. We have room for desira ble immi- grants, but must have a guarantee as to their continued desirability ill c their Willingness to acquire not only American citizenship but all that the word Americanism implies"
 Members of the committee say it is not likely a bill suSpending immigra- ton for any stated period could pass congress now. A year ago it could have passed, they add.
