ately for the first time on April %,
1915, on part of the Ypres salient. A
poison gas cloud (chlOrine) was there
launched by the Germans against the
French and British, where they joined.

the brunt.
Frustrated in the quick accomplish
ment of their aims. the Germans again
threw all honor aside, as they had done
in Belgium, and used poison gases. IN
this way they proposed to end the war
quickly. The Immediately bitter pur-
pose was to kill and affect the morale
of the colonials. Written and spoken

Blonde or Brunette

"rho blondes complexion fades early
because her skin is extraordinarily thin
and fine" says Nine. Lima Cavalier.
THE brunettes, as n rule, Is the re-
verse, The skin Is thicker and has q
tendency to an oily appearance.
For either the faded blondes skin or
the brunette's oily or sallow complex
ion, the best remedy Is ordinary mer-
colized wax. Used every night this
will give one an entirely new com
plexlon within about weeks time.
The wax gradually peels off the worn
cut surface skin. with all its defects,
a little each day, without affecting the
delicate underskin in the least. The
latter will have the exqulsitely beauti-
full glow of youth--indeed. one may
readily lose ten or fifteen years from
her age, so far as appearance goes,
BY q course OF this simple treatment.

A PHYSICIANS ADVICE.

Frederick s. Kolle, NJ D., Editor of
New York Physicians Who's Who"
says that weak, nervous people who
want increased weight, strength and
nerve force, should take 5-grain tab
let of Bltro- Phosphate just before or
during each meal.
This particular phosphate is the dis
covery of a famous French scientist.
and reports OF remarkable results from
its use have recently appeared In many
medical journals.
If you. do not feel well; If you tire
easily; do not sleep. well, or are too
thin; go to any good druggist and get
enough Bitro- Phosphate for two
weeks supply--it costs only fifty cents
a week.
Eat less; chew your food thoroughly,
and II at the end of a few weeks YOU
do not feel stronger and better than you
have for months; If your nerves are not
steadier; II you do not sleep better and
have more vim, endurance and vitality,
your money will be returned, and the
Bitro- Phosphate will cost you nothing.
