SAVED TWO FAMOUS PICTURES
Old Masters Taken by British officer
From the Ruins of Ypres
Cathedral.

The king of the Belgians will shortly
have returned to him two famous pic
lures which were rescued, four years
ago, from Ypres cathedral. 1t APP
pears that during the b~ombardment of
Ypres in 1915 a young British artil-
lery officer noticed inside the cathe-
dral, which was being heavily shelled,
that the only things not shattered by
German fire were two large Flemish
masters, dated 1900, hanging some 20
feet high on the walls. How to get
them and save them for Belgium was
the question which Immediately pre-
sented itself. The officer called two
private soldiers to help him, and with
the aid of some long gas pipes which
had been blown down by the German
fire, and two large hooks, the pictures
were lowered to the ground. The Of
ficer, Lieutenant Daniels, r. A., then
cut the pictures out of their frames
and put them in a large sack, which he
used for a time as a bed. In the end
he took them TO London, where, with
the approval of the Belgian minister,
they have been placed on exhibition
prior to being returned to King Albert
at Brussels.

Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphatc to
Put ON Firm, Healthy Flesh and

When one stops to consider the host Of
thin people who are searching continually
for some method by which they may In.
crease their flesh to normal proportions by

u no wonder that many and varied sug-
Iestious along this line appear from time to

While excessive thinness might be at
tributed TO various and subtle causes In
different individuals 1t is u well-known fact
that the lack of sufficient PHOSPHORUS in
the human system is very largely respon-
sfble for this condition Experiments on
have demonstrated beyond question of
doubt that a body deficient in PHOSPHORUS
becomes nervous, sickly and thin. A noted
author and professor in his book, Chem.
istry and Food Nutrition" published in 1918,
says: that the amonnt of phos-
OF man is seriously underestimate in many
OF our standard text books"
1t seems to be we'll established that this
deficiency In PHOSPHORUS may now be met
by the use of an organic phosphate known
throughout English speaking countries ss
of his phosphate by the nerve tissue the
phosphoric content when absorbed in the
amount noFmally required by nature soon
produces a welcome change in our body and
mind. Nerve tension disappears, vigor and
strength replace weakness and lack of ener-
Ely, and the whole body soon loses its ugly
hoilows and abrupt angles, becoming envel-
oped in a glow of perfect health and beauty

AS to the Habit Of II.

Creatures of habit, such are human
beings. They carry along with them
a lot Of the primitive instincts they
had in common with the lower ere
alton in the ages past. A habit is only
an o%utgrowth Of an instinct. 1t is the
instinct to do the thing that was done
before until the doing of it becomes
second nature. The leading psycholo-
gists, and the lesser as well, for that
matter, agree that the reactions Of
the human system to environment are
llmitless and therefore the range Of
things that may be done habitually
Is limitless.
