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

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually
being advertised for the purpose OF max
ing thin people fleshy, developing arms
neck and bust, and repiacns ugly hol-
lows and angles by the soft curved INES
of health and beauty, there are evidently
thousands of men and women vino 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 IS notn-
Ing that will supply this deficiency SO Well
as the organic phosphate known among
druggists as bltro- phosphate, which is in
expensive and is sold by most all drug
glstS under a guarantee Of satisfaction or
money back BY feeding the nerves di-
rectly and by supplying the body cells
with the necessary phosphorlc food ele-
ments. bitro- phosphate quickly produces
a welcome transformation in the appear
ance. the increase in weight frequently
being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessnesS and
lack of energy which nearly always ac-
company excessive thinness, soon dis
appear. dull eyes become bright, and pale
cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect
health.
TION:-Although btro- phosphate
is unsurpa ssed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness, IL
should not, owing to its remarkable
flesh growing properties. be used by any
one who does not desire to put on flesh

DEAR ANNIE LAURIE-We are two
girl friends, Is and II years of age. We
have two boy friends who take us 10
parties and picture shows, We think
OF nothing but friendship. OF late they
seem peeved but we see nothing that
we have done to make them So
The other night they made an en-
gagement with us. but failed to call.
When we met them they tried To avoid
us. Now. Dear Annie Laurie. what do
you advise us to do? We do not wish
TO lose their friendship. Shall we ask
them what is the matter or wait for
them to tell u.s.?
BLUE EYED FRIENDS.
Blue Eyed Friends--If you did moth
ing to make the boys unhappy nor to
embarrass them, ! fail to see why they
should have acted $ they did. And il
We're you, girls, | am sure that /
should try to coax them TO be friendly.
They owe you an apology ana unless
they are friendly there Is no way for
YOU to find out why nor to forgive
them. You don't want anything To do
with such unmanly boys as they are.
surely,
OF course, it is never wise to make
mountain out of a mole hole, and il
they do try to apologize. ] think t
would be gracious OF you to forgive
them.
