'PICTURE BRIDES" BANNEDe

Japan Is said recently to have taken
two important steps to put her rela-
tions with the United States on the
friendliest ptSsible footing. She has
agreed to halt the emigration of this
country of Japanese women and has
given assurance that she is engaged in
no intridge for special privileges in
Mexico. Immigration Of Japanese
women has been a sore point with the
Pacific states, where bitter campaigns
have been waged against picture
brides" Many Japanese who have
made their way into the United States
have married women whom they knew
only by pictures sent from Japan.
Then these women would get passports
and come to America. The children
of such marriages are entitled to citi-
zenship under the Constitution / and
their numbers have grown rapidly.

one or the other of the little belligerents.
OF course, neither Nicaragua nor Costa
Rica could offer much resistance to or
impose any marked aggressive action
against the United States. That is not
feared in the least. But what the Amer
lean people do dislike is the enmity of a
people and government when it is the
one great purpose of the United States
to dwell in amicable relations with other
nations. The svowed purpose of the
United States is to live up to a high
ideal, to avoid warfare and to refrain
from imposing iron strength on any 9TH
er country or government. If the United
States should intervene in behalf of Mic
aragua we should most certainly incur
the i'll will of Costa Rica and set back
many decades the era of good feeling
which is so fondly hoped for. Therefore,
the United States should not commit it
self to policy Of intervention or even a
show Of strength in behalf Of one of the
belligerents. We should protect Amer.
lean interests and offer mediation to the
warning little nations. Nothing more.

In any debate on the quality Of Yer.
mont roads, the people who are accus-
toned to use the highway between Barre
and White River junction are sure to
take the affirmative side, that is, in de-
Tense of Vermont's roads, for there is nc
more velvety stretch of road in northern
New England than that same highway
barring some comparatively short
stretches Of road. So we agree with the
Randolph Herald and News in suggest
ing that before anyone attempts to con.
denim Vermont highways as poor he
should take trip over this route from
Barre to White River junction, or some
other of the good highways in eastern
Vermont.

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

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people feshy, developing arms. neck
and bust, and replacing ugly Eollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men Inc women who keen]y feel their
excessive hinness
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves Our bodies heed mors
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so we'll as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate Should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance; the In
crease in weight frequently being aston
fishing.
Increase In weight also carries with II
a general improvement in the health,
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack Of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro-phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness
sleeplessness and general weakness, IT
should not, owing to its tendency to In
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.
