IF THIN AND NERVOUS, TRY
 PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-PhOsphate to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and to Increase Strength, Vigor
 and Nerve Force

When one stops to consider the host continually for some method by which they may increase their flesh by nor nal proportions by the filling out of ugly hollows, the rounding off of pro- truding angles with the attendant bloom of health and attractivenes esS, it is no wonder that many and varied suggestions along this line appear from time to time in public print
 While excessive thinneSs might be attri buted to various and subtle causes in different individuals, it is we'll known fact that the lack of phosphor- ous in the human system IS very largely responsible for this condition.
 It seems to be we'll established that this deficiency in phosphorous may now be met by the use or an organic phosphate known throughout English speaking countries as tro-PhOsphate. The assimilation of this phosphate by the nerve tissue soon produces well come change in our body and mind. Nerve tension disappears, Nigor and strength replace weakness and lack of energy and the whole body soon loses its ugly hollows and abrupt angles, becoming enveloped in a glow of per feet health and beauty and the will and strength to be up and doing.
 CAUTION:-While Bitro-Phosphate is unsurpassed for the relief of ner- vousness, general debility, etc, those taking it who do not desire to pat on flesh should use extra care in avoid ing fat-producing foods.

GRAND LIST WEARS
 FIVE MILLION MARK Assessments May Double to Guard
 Against 28 Mill Rate FORMER TEACHER IS WED Miss Bugbec, Formerly at the Worth
Miss Bugbec, Formerly at the Worth ingtOn School. Married in West WiIlington-D. A. R. Holds Meeting Waiting Station Wanted.

The grand list for the town of Berlin for the past year will be close to S5,OO0,0OO, or double the list of 1918. The grand list last year was $2,375, SIS, on which there was b mill tax, giving the town approximate ly s45,O00 from taxes. This year, to meet the increased expenses on ac- count of new roads and large school appro priations, it was found neces Sary to either raise the grand list or the tax rate. The money needed this year to run the town is well over S10O,00O and if the grand list was allowed to remain the same as last year it would mean a 28 mill tax, which would result in great cry from every property owner. It was stated this morning that in order to get the necessary money for the town, the new assessment must be close to $5,O0O,000 if the tax rate is to remain at Is mills.
 It was pointed out this morning that if the rate was to be increased to 28 mills it might prevent the growth of the town, no one wanting to buy property here and pay such an enor- \ mons fax rate There is no runnin g >water in the town and part of the town is without gas so that much higher rate than that of last year would not find favor. East Berlin, on account of the new factory and it's new lease of life, will have greater property valuation than at any time for. the past seven years Property there has jumped from 50 per cent. to 100 per cent. in value so that 1t IS not improbable that there will be a corresponding increase in the as- seSsment.
 Kensington alone under the new assessment will have a grand list this year the total of which will almost total that for the whole town last year, if the present plans are carried out The reassessment is absolutely necessary, it would seem, to carry out the program for the year and to cut it down would mean that money D might have to be borrowed to make up for any decrease which would re- - sult in another town debt, the last of which was wiped out during w. l. filings administration.
 The assessors, Fred Hubbard. Jason Taylor and Carl Mueller, Will not complete the work of re-assessing the town until early in February so that no accurate figures on thelr work so far can be obtained.

POWERFUL PILE
 REMEDY DISCOVERED

Has Never Failed to End Most Obsti- nate Case of Piles, in Few Days. For years it has been proved that so-called external remedies applied to
 or inserted in the rectum cannot cure piles, and at the best can only give temporary relief. Surgical opera tions also do not remove this cause,
 but simply the formation.
 This wonderful prescription, known as Miro Pile Remedy, is so efficient in the treatment of piles, that even
 chronic cases of from 20 to 30 years standing with profuse bleeding have been completely cured in from three to ten days. Think of it. Just a few doses of a carefully balanced pre-
 scription and the most persistent case
 of piles is absorbed. never to return Just read what Henry J. Stone of 1 the Lorain, Ohio, Fire Department says:
 'I had bleeding and protruding piles for three years and tried all kinds of remedies without result, but was thoroughly cured after taking one bottle of Miro.'
 Frank J. Phillips of Bird Island, Minnesota, says:
 ,'I used half a bottle of Miro. It worked like charm. no longer suffer with bleeding and protruding piles. I never regretted the money for such blessings as I am now en- toying. I would have used the whole bottle but it was not necessary" All pharmacists dispense Miro or
 can get it for you on short notice. Surely it's worth the little trouble to obtain it to be rid of piles forever. IMPORTANT-Wha is known as itching piles are not piles In the true sense of the word, although this con- dition may accompany a true case of piles. For this condition Miro Pile Ointment has been prepared as in such cases it is not necessary to take the internal prescription. Crowelrs Drug Store can supply you, or we

or course. no New Yorker ever COM
mits the indiscretion of being born in
New York, but did you know that no
Englishman ever was born in England ?
We cannot explain it. We only know
that the land of their nativity is never
the land that gives them that delight

middle Western actors have tried in
vain to produce. If any Englishman
tells you that his pronunciation differs
from your own ask him to pronounce

cumstanccs or "rather' or "vastr for

And yet our favorite Englishman was
born in Australia; next on the list
happened to be in Scotland, another
was born in South America, another in
South Africa, another in New Zealand,
one in Pittsburgh, and Norman Trevor,
we have just learned, was born in India.
And he speaks Hindustani-no all
the time, of course, but only if you ask
him. We asked him to Immediately
because some one told us that he could
and we didn't believe it.
We were much impressed with the
possibilities of Hindustani. 1t ought
to be the most perfect language to
cuss in. In fact, it sounds horribly
profane no matter what you say, and
we cannot imagine any coy Hindu girl
falling for the equivalent Of "Je t'aime"
or "lo t'aime" OR "Ya bass lloobloo" or
"Yo ii quiero" or "Jog alskai dig"
Why, we even think she should prefer
'Ich liebe dich." But Mr.. Trevor
doesn't feel that way about it. He
thinks Hindustani is a beautiful lam
guage.
Now, the difference between being an
interviewer and not being an inter-
viewer is this: In the latter instance
you see some one you want to know.
and you go home and wonder if he
would be interesting, and buy his pict-
ure and have 1t framed, and attend his

reach out and put a piece Of ice on
his head and say, "Have you tried

SO inhuman just to sit there callouslv
and enjoy his remorse.
However, we manfully refrained
from speaking to Mr.. Trevor during

making a Liberty Loan speech. And

certainly has imagination!
After Doris Rankin had agreed that
there were other things In the world
more important than writing Gan opin-
ion which we heartily indorse), and
Toby had made his bow, we went back
to Mr.. Trevor's dressing room.
We Immediately congratulated him
on his wonderfully lifeliko impersona-
tion of a man who has stayed too long
at Webster Hall, and he told us how he
happened to have all the details and
who his model was.
No, we are not going to tell, although
it is a big temptation. But discretion
is the better part Of interviewing, and
we talked to Mr.. Trevor for an hour.
and not once did he even mention any
of the things which have appeared in
all the interviews with him.
He told US about India and Of the
philosophy Of the Persians, and of the
men whose Bible has but one COM
mandment in it, "Never make any one
feel bad" which seems to us to en-
brace all things and suddenly, remem-
bering our duty, we said: GLOW did
you happen to go on the stage?" But
1t was perfunctory, no doubt, for Nor
man Trevor only said: "That's it. I
just did happen to. I started as a but
Ter and was leading man before the
season closed"
And we suddenly discovered that we
had stayed so long; that everybody
else, including the valet, had gone
home; that the iron cato which kceps
people from storming the stage en-
trance was closed; that the doorman
was cross because he needed sleep. and
that we had missed our supper engage
ment.
