THIN, FRAlL
FOLKS need
PHOSPHATE
Nothing, Like Plain Bitro-P Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, visor
and Nerve ForcA

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose Of making
thin people fieshy. developing arms, neck
and bust. and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty. there ara evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than Is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there ID nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate. which Is mex
p~nsivs and is sold by Sherman 4 M1GoH-
nell in Omaha and most all druggists under
guarantee Of satisfaction or money back.
BY feeding the nerves directly and by
supplying the body cells with the necessary
phosphoric food elements. bitro- phosphate
quickly produces welcome transformation
in the appearance: the increase In weight
frequently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries with
II general Improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack Of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear. dull
eyes become bright, and pale checks glow
with the bloom Of perfect health.
CAUTION Although bitro-phosphate is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessnees and general weakness, il
should not, owing TO its remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used BY anyone who

Omaha Rotarians in
Favor Of More Drastic
Action Against Huns

A resolution urging the govern
ment to take prompt and vigorous
action in case Germany refuses to
accept the peace terms as drafted
was referred to the board Of direc-
tors of the Rotary club at their
weekly luncheon yesterday noon at
the Hotel Fontenelle. The majority
of the members were in favor of plac-
ing the International Rotary clubs
on record as in favor of still more
stringent peace terms for the Ger
mans.
]. M. Harding addressed the
Rotarians along general lines of the
dairy industry. He predicted that
no decline in the price of butter
or any other dairy products would
be evidenced for some time.
The enormous foreign and home
demand for butter caused the pre-
vailing high prices, according to
Mr., Harding.

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK


Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural
color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is mussy
and troublesome. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get large bottle
Of this famous old recipe, improved
by the addition Of other ingredients,
at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it 80 naturally
and evenly. You dampen q .sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy
and attractive.-Ady.

The Proper Thing
AT Weddings

Millions and millions Of girls have
been married-and the proper thing
is now pretty well standardized
with sensible simplicity as the motto.
First, about invitations. They
should be sent out from a month to
fifteen days before the wedding date,
and should be engraved by a good
stationer who will be able to advise
the bride on-the proper phraseology
They are sent at the expense OF the
bride OF or her parents. II only a
few guests are to attend the wedding
the bride herself should send them
informal notes Of invitation.
For church weddings the groom
chooses his best man and the ushers
who seat the guests, and the bride
chooses one or more maids. The
bridesmaids and ushers are usually
equal in number
At the church there is a musical
program while the guests assemble
The groom and his man wait in the
vestry, and when the bride and hei
maids reach the church vestibule al
the hour set for the ceremony the
groom and attendant are notified Of
their arrival and walk to the altar Ia
await the bride. The clergyman also
takes his place for the ceremony and
the wedding march begins. AS the
bride approaches the altar the groom
steps forward to meet her and takes
lher right hand for the last few steps
For the bridal procession the usn
ers walk first, two by two, followed
by the bridesmaids. II there is 8
maid or matron or honor she walks
alone preceding the bride who comes
last At the altar the maids and
ushers separate and stand in two
groups at either side Of the bride
and groom.
During the ceremony the maid oil
honor holds the brides bouquet, and
the groomsman is trusted with the
wedding ring which he hands to the
groom at the proper moment. The
bride Sits the fourth finger to the
left glove so that 1t may easily be
turned back to receive the ring on
her uncovered hand.
1t is customary for the groom ia
provide fhe carriage which brings
the clergyman to the church, to nav
the clergyman's fee, and also to pro
provide the carriage which brings
and his bride to the home for the
reception or the train for the honey.
moon journey.
Refreshments, served to the wed.
dining guests at the reception consist
of salad or patties, hot rolls, coffee,
Ices and cake.

Strangely enough, this is one of the

Strangely enough, this is one of the
good things that has come from the
great war. 1t is the invention of a
soldier-engineer. The heating of bar
racks and hospitals where there were
no cellars was a problem, and it set
him to thinking. The result is hot
water system that can be packed I'D
and moved around almost as easily as
the family piano From the radiator
boiler runs the piping to the radiators
in other rooms-all heated by the
same fire.
Here are some of the things he
promises it will do:
Save fuel-only one fire is needed,
and the 40 per cent of heat that a
stove wastes in the stove pipe, is used
to heat the water.
Prevent fires-for the boiler is wa
ter-backed and it can stand on a wood
en- floor with perfect safety. And the
legs are cast solid and cannot be
knocked out-the radiator boiler will
not upset.
Lasting-it will not wear out, burn
out. warp like a stove, to be found use
less if a building is altered 1t can be
enlarged or made smaller with ease.
Saves money-by saving fuel, saves
labor of climbing up and down stairs
and feeding many fires, saves doctor
bills by keeping all rooms at an equal
temperature, and does not have to be
renewed in year or two.
This invention marks another vic
tory for the great mass of the peo-
pie over hard living conditions.
