BITRO-PROsPNATE
BEST THING FOR
thin PEOPLE
Women Need II to Bring Pink Glow Of
Health to Pale Cheeks and Fore
stall Tell-TaIe Lines Of Age.
Men NeSG It to Mako
Strong, Vigorous Bod
les and Steady
Nerves.

Judging from the countless prepara-
lions and treatments which are contin-
ually being advertised for the purpose
OF making thin people fleshy, develop
ing 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 contain
ed in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so well as the organic plos-
phae known among druggists as bitro-
phosphate, which is inexpensive and
is sold by the H. II. Drug Co. in Fair
mont and most all druggists under a
guarantee OF satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly
and by supplying the body cells with
the necessary phosphoric food ele-
ments, bitro- phosphate should produces
a melcome transformation in the ap-
pearance; the increase in weight l;e-
quently being astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with
1t a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness. sleeplessuess
and lack OF energy. which nearly al
ways accompany excessive thinucss,
should soon disappear. dull eyes ought
to brighten and pale cheeks glow with
the bloom Of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro -phos-
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness. sleepleesness and gem
eral weakness, it should not, owing
to its tendency to increase weight, be
used by anyone who does not desire to
put on flesh.

WHAT OUR DEFENDERS COST
At Home It Is 1927 and Overseas $42s
Year for Each Man In the
Service.

Statistics have been collected by the
clothing ) and equipage. subsistence,
conservation, reclamation and hard
ware and metals division of the quar-
termasters' corps, United States army,
to Indicate just what 1t costs a year to
maintain soldier overseas and in the
United States. G
These, according to the Army and
Navy Journal, show that the cost is
$42S.47 year to equip and maintain a
soldier overseas and S327.7S to equip
!, and maintain one In the United States.
Subsistence, figured at 50 cents day,
aniounts to s251-S5 yearly for each
man overseas; figured at 81 cents "a
day In the United States, II amounts
to $lS9.S0. The cost of the initial
equipment for the soldier the first year
In the United States is S115.30, while
the cost or his additional equipment
for the first year overseas is $42.41.
Thus 1t appears that If the soldier
going overseas S.d not take with him
great deal of his equipment already
supplied in the United States the con
trast between the cost Of equipping
and maintaining a soldier in this coun-
try and abroad would be much more
marked. Not only is the amount Of
equipment needed abroad greater than
that needed In this country. but the
statistics Of the conservation and re-
clamation division show that equip.
ment and clothing overseas are subject
to much harder use. wear out more
quickly and are less effectively re.
claimed than similar material. cloth.
Ing and equipment used In the United
States. The amount Of reclamation Of
each individual soldiers equipment in
this country is $3.50 year, while the
amount Of reclamation of similar ma,
terial abroad is but 1881. a

and provision for employing them

undertakings must necessarily be un-
der cooperative organizations composed
Of part Of the people, or under public

The Order Of Advance.
Effective efforts for the improve
ment Of labor everywhere begin with
combinations to improve conditions By
taking advantage Of the right to H.
fuse to work, except under satisfak-
tory conditions.
1t would seem that this is right TO
fundamental that it could hardly be
disputed. Whenever business man,
a wage-worker, or any one else is asked
to deliver goods or to perform a service,
under contract which is not accep-
table, it would seem that the right to
withhold the goods or to deny the service
could not be questioned.
Labor parties have never appeared
except when this most fl ndamental
civil and economic right has been de-
MED. In every instance the first de.
mands of labor have been for improved
conditions Of employment. Resort to
political action has always been made
