 (On that occasion NJ. Erzberger de- clared that peace overtures were made to Germany by Great Britain and France through the vatician in August 1917, and that Chancellor Michaelis, on September 2s wrote that the situation was not suf- ficienly clear. and rejected the overturesA Dr. Michaelis, in his present statement, says the proposals were laid before him early in September, not in August, and that he discussed them with Dr. Won Kuehlmann, who was foreign secretary at the time. Later he requested the Elm peror to hold crown council in the pres ence of the supreme army and navy au- thorities This was held on September il and the result of the conference he says, was summed up by the emperor in the following written me3.1randum
 The annexation of Belgium is dub icus. Belgium could be restored. The

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate
To Pat ON Firm. Healthy Flesh and
TO Increase. strength. vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepar-
atoms and treatments which are con-
tinuaily being advertised for the pur-
pose Of making thin people fleshy, de-
veloping arms, neck and bust, and re-
placing 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 eX-
cessivc 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 nothing that Will supply this
deficiency so well as the organic
phosphate known among druggists as
hitro- phosphate, which rs Inexpensive
and is sold by Gokay In Bennington and
most all druggists under guarantee
OF satisfaction or money back. By
feeding the nerves directly and by sup
plying the body cells with the necos-
sary 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. dun eyes become bright, and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom of
perfect health.
CAUTION: --AIthough bitro- phos-
phutc Is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness sleepiessness and general
weakness II should not owing TO ite
flesh growing properties, be used by
anyone who does not desire 10 put on
flesh.

RELIEF FROM
NEURALGIA

Particularly in the case of persons
having a tendency to anemia, or lack
of blood, neuralgia is due to the failure
Of the blood to carry nourishnent TO
a nerve. The most direct way to cor
rect neuralgia is to build up the blood
so that it can give the nerves the ele-
ments they need.
Mrs. Charles Hendry, Of No. 1885
Adams avenue, Scranton, Pa, the
mother Of a fine family and herself
the picture of health, was an intense
sufferer from neuralgia for number
Of years.
1.-THE pain would come on at certain
hours every day." says Mrs. Hendry,
-'and the muscles Of my face would
swell. I was nearly distracted with
the pain. I had terrible headaches,
my ears would ache and 1 would be
up night after night putting applica.
tons on my face. My whole head
was sore from the pain.
II took DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
anemia when / was girl in my teens
in Scotland and when one ofmy friends
told me a few months ago that the
pills were good for neuralgia ] gave
Them n trial. The result was so en-.
couraging that I took the pills for
three months and / haven't had an
attack since.
