Elihu Root Writes
Will of Carnegie

New York, Aug. 21.-When Mr..
Carnegie decided to make such en-
tensive changes that he felt they
could not be expressed properly IN
codicil his health would not per-
nit him to do the same amount of
labor again and he turned the en-
tire matter to Elihu Root.
In addition to administering the
Carnegie estate, the Home Trust
Company will continue acting as
pensioner to nearly 500 persons
who for years have relied almost
wholly on monthly checks from Mr..
Carnegie for their living. All of
these had been known personally by
Mr.. Carnegie in the early days of
his success, and some even dated to
the telegraph operator phase of his
career, when he manipulated a kcy
on the Pennsylvania Railroad.
These monthly payments run
from $25 to $50 and will be con-
tinued during the life time of each
pensioner from fund for that pur,
pose established by Mr.. Carnegie
outside of his will. One of the pen
sioners is said to be a Scotchwoman
born in a high station in life who
was. abandoned by her husband and
left penniless when he absconded
some years ago from a position of
trust.
The statement, based on alleged
information from n member of Mr..
Carnegie's family, that he paid All
income tax on a fortune of only
100000 900 and that the sum to be
disbursed in his will is not larger
was declared last night to be UNI
true. Mr.. Carnegie did not dispose
of several times that sum before his
death.

Cardinal Gibbons had been the guest

'All proflteers should be punished,
without regard to how powerful or

dealers can be expected to make a
fair profit but those who take ad-
vantage of the times and conditions
and ask and receive more than a fair

can be justified by nothing and should
be stopped Immediately, by as dras-

Mexico Protests Dispatch
of Troops and Requests
Expeditions Withdrawal
By Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The Mexi-
can Ambassador here has been in
structed by his Government to pro-
test to the State Department against
the dispatch of American troops
across the Border and to request
their withdrawal, according to state
ment issued at Mexico City yester-
day.
The statement as received here to-
day said:
Two aviators of the Army of the
United States, through error, so they
state, flew over our territory, land
ing approximately 112 kilometres
to the south of the frontier, where
they were captured BY a band of 90
bandits. They have now been liber-
ated.
Some troops of the Eighth Cav
airy of the United States crossed
the frontier in pursuit of the out
laws. The Department of Foreign
Relations gave instructions at once
to our Embassy in Washington to
make appropriate representation,
protesting and requesting the i'm
mediate withdrawal of the invading
troops"
1t was said at the State Depart
ment to-day that no protest had been
made by Ambassador Bonillas.

Divorce Is Refused by
Judge Kunkel Because
of insufficient Evidence

Ruling that the evidence which had
been submitted in the divorce action
brought by Charles l.. Wilson, Steel
ton, against his wife, Mrs. Cora Will
son, now believed to be living in
Cleveland, Ohio, was insufficient
President Judge Kunkel refused to
grant a divorce.
According to evidence in the case
as given by Wilson, Geney Mack and
Tom Brooks were named as CORE
spondents, and were accused of caus-
ing trouble in the Wilson family at
Iron Gate, w. V.
In two civil court actions Judge
Kunkel also gave short opinions.
One of these was ruling on a petit
tion presented by A. ]. Lehrman, of
Steelton. Mr.. I.chrman at recent
sheriffs sale. bid to buy a property
in Wallace street. but contended he
made the offer with the understand
ing that there would be no incum-
brances on the house. When he
found that it was to lie scld subject to
lien he petitioned the court to set
aside the original proceeding to hold
sale of the property. In the opin-
ion Judge Kunkel decided that his
remedy at law would be to ask to
have the sale set aside and not the
execution writ.
In another action Bayard U. Liv-
ingston brought suit against Harris
Aaronson for $1,000 rent for a tract
of ground in the Eleventh ward, New
York city, and through counsel made
a motion for judgment in his favor
claiming inst fficie1t answer had been
filed to his claim. The court, how
ever. ruled otherwise and refused to
order Judgment to be entered. The
case will be listed now for jury trial

If Thin and
NERVOUS, TRY
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain ate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh
and to Increase Strength,
NigOr and Nerve Force

When one stops to consider the
host of thin people who are SEARCHING
continually for some method bY
which they may increase their flesh
out of ugly hollows, the rounding of
of protruding angles with the at
tendant bloom of health and attract
iveness, it is no wonder that many
appear from time to time in public
print.
While excessive thinness might be
attributed TO various and subtle
causes in different individuals it is a.
well-known fact that the lack of suf-
ticient PHOSPHORUS in the human sys-
tenn is very largely responsible for
this condition. Experiments on hu-
have demonstrated beyond question
of doubt that body deficient in
phosphorous becomes nervous, sickly
and thin. A noted author and profess
sor in his book. Chemistry and Food
Nutrition" published in 1918, says:
e" that the amount of phos-
phorous required for the normal nu-
triton of man is seriously underes-
timated in many of our standard text
books"
1t seems to be well established that
this deficiency in PHOSPHORUS may
now be met by the use of an organic
phosphate known throughout Eng
lish speaking countries as Bitro-
Phosphate. Through the assimilation
of this phosphate by the nerve tissue
the phosphoric content when absorb
ed in the amount normally required
by nature soon produces a welcome
change in our body and mind. Nerve
tension disappears, vigor and strength
replace weakness and lack of energy.
and the whole body soon loses Its
ugly hollows and abrupt angles, be-
coming enveloped in 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 nerv-
BUSINESS, general debility. ETC., those
taking 1t who do not desire to put on
flesh should use extra care in avoid
ing fat-producing foods,

advance in salary from the mini
mum of 900 to a minimum of $2.-
400, and from a maximum of $4,000

The amendment probably will be

Attorney General Palmer said
there was evidence that the govern
ment campaign to reduce the cost
of living already was bearing fruit.
I'VE want to make clear, how
ever" the Attorney General said,
that nothing We can do can change
the immutable economic laws on
which prices depend. If we can in
crease the supply by greater produc-
ton and lessen demand by greater
saving on the part of the people,
then the cost of living should come
down. We can help that along by
forcing hoarders to put on the mar
ket food held out for an advance in
prices
The Attorney General and Judge
Ames. his assistant, drew distinc-
tions, which they said the public
should recognize, between boarded
food and stored food. The former
is held out of the market in greater
quantities than required for the
owners business for the purpose OF
forcing up the market. The latter
is surplus being husbanded from
the harvest to the lean season.

The survey will consist of the es-
tablishing of a city market map,
showing the locality of all the pub
'lic markets, the wholesale and re-
tail food dealers, cold storage plants
and railroad and trolley terminals.
Marketing experts will study the mu-
nicipal regulations covering licenses
and food protection measures and all
phases of inspection and standard
ization of foods.
Study Supply Source
The direct study OF the market
will include the sources of supply of
both shipped goods and that brought
to the local market from sur
rounding districts. The standard Of
quality demanded by the whole
salers and the consumers will also
be studied and a careful investiga-
ton will be made into the percent
age of waste due to deterioration.
The cold storage situation and the
demands and the buying habits of
the consuming public will also form
an important part of the. survey.
Following the survey the Bureau
OF Markets will recommend to the
city authorities any changes that
they may feel will benefit both the
farmers and the consumers of the
city and will recommend any
changes that they feel will be of
benefit to the wholesale and retail
food dealers of the city. Director

marketing problems for cities in
Connecticut and the New England
