Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Liks Plain Bitro-Phosphate
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 fieshy, developing 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 contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under guarantee of satisfaction or money
back BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements. btro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance; the in
crease In weight frequently being aston
ishing.
Increase in weight also carries with 1t
q 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 1t
should not, owing to It's tendency to in
crease weight. be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

What the Flag symbollzes.

In 1777, within a few days of one
year after the declaration of independ-
ence, the congress of the colonies in
the confederated states assembled and
ordained this glorious national flag
and advanced 1t full high before God
and all men as the flag of liberty.
1t was no holiday flag, gorgeously
emblazoned for gayety or vanity. 1t
was a solemn national signal. When
that banner first unrolled to the sun,
1t was the symbol of all those holy
truths and purposes which brought to-
gether the colonial American congress
The flag means now all that our IA
theirs meant in the Revolutionary war.
1t means all that the Declaration of
independence means. 1t means all
that the Constitution of our people
meant in organizing for justice, for
liberty, for happiness.

alag Dap

ME first American flag. for
mally adopted by congress on
June ii, 1777, is said to have
been made out of a soldiers white
shirt, an old blue army overcoat
and red flannel pettlcoat. 1t
was first hoisted by the Revolution
airy army during Burgoyne's campaign
and was first flung to the ocean breeze
by Paul Jones.
We have not advanced so far from
those humble but glorious beginnings
as TO have lost the SAVIOR. The com
bination that went into the making Of
the first flag answered all require
ments. History has neglected the own
er Of the white shirt ana the old over
coat. 1t has likewise courteousiy re-
Trained from mentioning the original
possessor of the petticoat. 1t is enough
that all were Americans.
But the vlcissitudes Of history have
not dimmed the luster of those first
Stars and Stripes. Rather have they
grown more glorious in the eyes of the
people over whom they float.
The observances of 1919, while COM
memorating the glories Of the past.
must necessarily take account of the
new epoch upon which we have en-
tered But there is no change in the
significance of the national emblem. AS
before, 1t stands for justice. freedom
and humanity. There will be no new
teachings, but a fresh conservation of
the old.

HINES FOR HIGHER RATES
Director General of Railroads Says
Government Must Have More
Money to Meet Expenses.

Washington, June 5.-Only by in
creased rates can the government con
trolled railroads meet operating eX-
penses, Director General Hines told
the house appropriations committee
on Tuesday. He Is opposed to any In
crease at this time, however, because
II might advance the cost of neces-
stiles Of life. Mr.. Hines, who appeared
TO ask for $12OO,0O0000 additional
for the railroad administrations re-
yolvlng fund for the remainder Of this
calendar year, said that while wages
of railroad employees had been in
creased 81 to - per cent during gov
eminent control, they now were only
reasonable and fair" and added that
he could see no prospect of reducing
them In explaining railroad require
ments Mr.. Hines said the governments
loss IN 1918 and the first three months
of this year was approximately $780,
100000 The replacement of this
amount was requested as part Of the
new appropriation, together with in
creased working capital of $425000,-
600. Proposed loans to railroads he
expected to be increased to $775 000,-
600.

Treaty to v. S. Lawmakers.

Copenhagen, June 9.-Mathias Err

commission, according TO the Deutches
Tages eitung of Berlin. is preparing
a memorandum which, after discussing
the peace terms in all their aspects
advocates signing the treaty.
Paris, June 9.-It is understood
here that the Berlin government Is
sending photographically reproduced
copies of the peace terms TO every
United States senator and representa-
tive.
II am convinced that our treaty prot
ect violates none OF my principles"
President Wilson is quoted by the
Matn ms having said when he was
made acquainted with the German
counter proposals to the peace treaty.
III held a contrary opinion / would
not hesitate to confess II and would
endeavor TO correct the error. The
treaty as drawn up, however, entirely
conforms with my II points
When the council Of -four met Pre-
mier Orlando Of Italywas absent. This
led to the belief that the Adrlatic ques-
ti0n was again under consideration.
II is understood that no further prog
ress has been made by the various ele-
mentS working on the solution of this
problem.
II is probable that the allied and as
sociated powers will comply with the
German demand to state approximate
ly the maximum sum which Germany
must pay in reparation under the
peace treaty, according 10 the Matin.
This sum, It states, will be from 2OO,-
0OO.O00,00O to 2500OO,OOO,OO0 francs
(The larger sum named, on n GOLD
valuation would be not far from 500
100000, 00O)
An answer from Admiral Kolchak,
head of the all-Russian government
at Omsk. to the allied proposals has
been received by the French foreign
Office 1t Is understood, in the main,
to be n satisfactory acceptance of the
proposals Kolchak's reply, howver,
makes reservations concerning con
stituent assembly and also in respect
to dealings with new states formed
from old Russia.
The South Slav delegation here
handed to President Wilson a memo
randum regarding The Fiume affair,
according TO the Petit Parisien.
When the Germans are handed the
allied reply they will be Informed, ac-
cordlng TO FEnch circles, that the dis
cussion has bcen9lnally closed and
will be given no less than three OF
more than five days i'm which TO accept
or reject the conditions.
